    You didn't read the information, did you.

    Yes, for all practical purposes, we are rotating the sun. However, if you look at things more closely, you see that both the earth and the sun are revolving around the same point--the center of mass in between the two objects. That point is influenced by the son's interaction with the rest of the mass in the solar system. If you calculate it out, you will find that point is not the center of the sun, but it's a point inside the sun. Observations of the sun's rotation led to the discovery of Pluto, for example.

    That's irrelevant.

    It's irrelevant to you because it totally shoots down your statement. Regardless of your views, the earth-sun system has the two circling their common center of mass. That center of mass happens to be inside the sun, but it is not at the sun's center. Try again or go back to the flat earth forum.....

    That is one of the most idiotic statements I've ever heard.

    You clearly are not intelligent enough to undestand physics.

    Hmm, how many credit hours in physics do you have? I have 11, and have a 3.3 GPA in the Physics class. In addition, I've taken an Astronomy class (got an A in that one).

    I'll type this slowly so you can understand it.....

    The earth and sun rotate around the center of their combined masses. This point is located somewhere inside the sun, but not at the sun's center, but somewhere on the earth side of the sun. Anytime you have a two-body system of rotation in space, that is what happens. Admittedly, for all practical purposes it looks like the earth simply rotates around the sun. You denying it, sounds like some of the Validation Boy flat-earth crap. You have yet to say anything or show anything, except for the observation part. Please show me some kind of evidence or simply shut up. The physics is on my side, not yours.

    Too bad you don't have sense enough not to argue with a <rule 2 deletion>.

    You are obviously not intelligent enough to comprehend the fact that all motion is relative. In other words, the vast majority of retarded squirrels and birds are much smarter than you.

    You are right. Shouldn't be feeding the trolls, but sometimes I can't resist.

    Although I now think it is a crime to post such information in some states.....it doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to understand how a person trained in such things can easily do this.

    I mean.....although this is not the way my people would do it......the first basic step is NOT to hack through the Firewall but slide in the back door.

    In New York City it has become a problem as criminals driving in vans are able to break encryption and using a persons own router gain complete and total control of their computer.

    As long as that computer's battery is in and charged they can turn on that computer and make it seem as if the computer is off such as not allowing the screen to light up and for those good enough and capable....even be able to have the exterior lights to the persons router not flash.

    The same thing can be done thousands of miles away and cell phone penetration is very simple....just ask any member of the CIA, FBI, DEA, ATF, NSA...etc.

    If it has power....if it has the ability to take pictures or digitally video.....if it has anything related to audio or visual at all.....it can become eye's and ears for us or nayone who has the skills.

    There are kids who have not even reached becoming a TEENAGER capable of doing this!!!

    The only way to prevent it is to take the battery out.

    Problem is if they have already decrypted your system they can network your system with hundreds if not thousands of others to run functions and actions of their own.

    Maybe you didn't understand the question. I asked how do you do it? You didn't explain how it works.

    Please forgive me but I am just SO HAPPY it's YOU that has to deal with this insanity instead of ME for a change!! LOL!!!


    What some members do not understand is that depending upon Geometry, Scale, Mass...etc.....the CENTER OF GRAVITY is RELATIVE!!

    Example.....an Asteroid that is shaped like a PEANUT.

    Now....in some Asteroids their Geometry and Mass is constructed and distributed like a PEANUT in that the Asteroid looks like two Balls connected by a thin connective part which is the same material the asteroid is made up of.

    And even this is variable but in most cases such an Asteroid has MULTIPLE CENTERS OF GRAVITY depending upon how they effect other celestial bodies, space-time and even light....as well as how they effect themselves as many times a Peanut shaped Asteroid may have one side or ball that is mych larger than the other peanut like ball but in fact the smaller side might have the greater mass as it might contain much more or heavier elements than the other side...or perhaps the center connective area contains the greatests mass and thus the center of Gravity might be at the very end of one side of the connective middle...etc...etc...etc.

    Even our Milky Way Spiral Galaxy has a RELATIVE CENTER OF GRAVITY....as even though at the center of our Galaxy lies Saguttarius A*....a. SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE existing at 3 Million Solar Masses....this is still not enough Mass along with all Visible Matter to to prevent the stars that are orbiting the center of our Galaxy from fying out and away from their orbits.

    Why?

    Because since both Dark Matter and Dark Energy comprise 95% of the Universe and the other 5% being Stars and Celestial Bodies and other Energy.....without the Dark Matter Filiments that exist through out the Universe and where they are most abundant is where Galaxies exist.....the Celestial Bodies and Nebula and other Non-Dark Matter or Non-Dark Energy Visible Matter or Celestial Bodies stay in their orbits around the Milky Way Galaxies central Supermassive Black Hole.

    I have never stated I have ever done it.

    Besides....I don't work or do JOBS specific to messing around with some random Forum Poster and as well....that's why the NSA, CIA, FBI, DIA...etc....all bow down and pray in whatever direction MOTHMAN might be cracking open a beer 3 to 5 times daily.

    In the circles of COMPUTER GEEKDOM......to openly say the name....MOTHMAN....is like some Harry Potter Fan openly saying VOLDEMORT!!!! LOL!!!!

    Difference is.....MOTHMAN is real.

    Fingertips never touch anything? I agree.

    Tell me again then, how is liquid not a SOLID?

    Liquid is a Myth.

    And now you've proven that you agree with PFs only apparent Real Scientist, Validation Boy.

    Take Water in Liquid Form and then as a Solid in Crystaline Form.

    There is a difference.

    Studies show that licking or sucking on a wound helps it heal. It's part of why wounds in the mouth heal so quickly.

    Aha yes.... so that is how the figure of 13.72 billions years for the age of the universe was arrived at!
