Saturday, January 15, 2011 8:02:23 PM what if it spins so fast that it leaves it's ozone ehind like in the looney toons or what if god is hovering by on his space bike and it accidently knocks his elbow causing him to swerve and burn his beard on the sun. these are the things that scare me |

Saturday, January 15, 2011 6:56:45 PM this is my beef on global warming, the earth doesnt spin in a complete circle, however can you really say that pumping co2 on an exponential level level is not bad for the enviorment |

Saturday, January 15, 2011 7:14:06 AM @psychosax I believe the orbit in that graphic was exaggerated to easier explain an elliptical path to the alarming large amount of people who believe that the earth orbits in a perfect circle. A perfectly scaled representation of our orbit would be more likely to confuse people, which is counter to the point of this entire thing. Of course, if you want to be a nitpicky bish about it, then go ahead. I just hope to god you never have to teach anyone anything. |

Saturday, January 15, 2011 6:17:22 AM I do physics at uni, but still if anyone asked me "Is that sidereal, tropical or anomalous years?" I would punch them in the face. Also, annoying voice is annoying. |

Saturday, January 15, 2011 5:44:54 AM So there are five? six? (I lost count!) cycles affecting the Earth's orbit? COOL!!! |

Friday, January 14, 2011 9:36:00 PM This video is really interesting, but they do get one thing wrong. At the beginning we see a path of the earth's elliptical orbit. This is GREATLY exaggerated. In reality, the eccentricity of the earth's orbit (how ovular it is) is SO small that when you look at an accurate depiction of the earth's orbit, it is indistinguishable from a perfect circle to the human eye. On a similar note, the difference of distances between the earth and the sun at the perihelion and aphelion is very small, and this difference contributes VERY MINOR temperature variations if any at all. |
