Those are figures from the standard spinning globe model!!

You keep doing the same thing.

By your calculations the moon would rotate around the full surface of the earth in like 17 hours, instead of the 27 days it takes according to the spinning globe model.

:doh:

The shadow will move across the surface of the earth if the moon moves enough to cover the entire diameter of the earth with respect to the sun. It does not need to move a full half orbit around the earth for its shadow to travel across the lighted face of the earth.

The only time it will be casting a shadow on the earth is when it's between the earth and the sun, and given its size and distance from the earth, that is only a fraction of its orbit. Which is to say, something like if you projected the edges of the lighted portion of the earth towards the sun in a roughly cylindrical shape, the moon only needs to travel from the edge of that cylinder to the other edge. Once it is outside that cylinder, it is no longer between the earth and the sun.

So, if the moon travels at about 61.3 km per minute, and a total eclipse will first be visible (from out in the Pacific Ocean) at UTC 16:49 and will stop being visible (out in the Atlantic) at UTC 20:02. So the duration will be about 3 hrs and 13 minutes, or 193 minutes.

193 m * 61.3 km/m = 11,800 km... which is not far off from the diameter of the earth (~12,800 km)

But you have factors like that the earth is moving in its orbit around the sun, so that cylinder is not remaining stationary either. And the moon's orbit is not in the same plane as the equator (and it does not stay the same in relation to the earth's axis either, which is why solar eclipses are not always visible in the same places) that presumably affects the duration as well, and axial tilt, etc. etc. But I'm not NASA, I'm not calculating the exact path.

Jerome doesn't believe shit, he's a troll by his own admission and description. He's not even a particularly amusing one in his own right, like a few of the ones we've had. As someone pointed out, I think it was Ari, his primary value is the surrealist entertainment of Jerome Minus Jerome.

For some reason it feels like flat-earthers are in vogue at the moment. Jerome's just jumping on the latest trend.

I guess 9/11-trutherism and Obama Kenya birtherism don't seem that sexy anymore, so they're reviving an oldie-but-a-goodie.

You guys sure are digging deep for logical fallacies so as to avoid the fact that the eclipse doesn't work with the spinning globe model.

I suppose the truth will come out when the Aug. 21 solar eclipse comes off as predicted, what will Jerome say then or will he just find some other cause to spew BS about.

lol, of course it will come off as predicted, that is not the point.

The point is the eclipse does not work with the current spinning globe model.


You guys are logical fallacy crazy here. You said nothing different than: 'I predict when I press the on button on the remote, that god pushes the button on the tv, therefore its proof that god turns on the tv when I press the remote button'.

lmao at the idiotic level you have gone to avoid the fact the eclipse does not work with the current spinning globe model. If you could provide a valid explanation, you would, if NASA could, they would.

The eclipse can't work with the spinning globe model, but it will come off as predicted. You do understand that the prediction is based on the spinning globe model, do you understand how stupid that makes you sound?

BTW, that is the point that the working model is based on the spinning globe model, what other nonsense have you chosen to believe?

You say that like it's obvious when a solar eclipse will occur and where it will be visible.

How about you explain when and where the solar eclipse will occur and show how it works with a flat earth model. I don't believe you actually believe it, but I'd like to see you at least put some effort into it. It's no fun if you're not going to actually try to explain how it works.

Guys, to get it to work you need to speed the moon from 27 days to about a 1/2 a day to go around the earth.

So which is it? Does the moon move around the earth in half a day, or 27 days?

The people who were predicting the eclipses knew that the Earth was a round globe, it was the illiterate and uneducated few that believed the Earth was flat.

The Moon orbits the Earth in just over 27 days but it is very far away averaging 384,400 Km, but the Moons shadow passes over the Earth during an eclipse faster than the Earth rotates, and due to the direction of the motions the shadow moves in the same direction as the rotation of the Earth.

The Moon travels 2,415,256 Km in it's orbit, the shadow of the Moon travels a little less that 12,742 Km when passing over the Earth, not hard to understand.
The total eclipse starting in the Pacific ocean and ending in the Atlantic will last about 13 hours local time, a little over 3 hours total duration.

Again, you are doing nothing more than saying, 'look, I predict the grass will grow, therefore when the grass does grow, it proves faeries live in the dirt and push up the grass'.

I am pointing out there is no room in the ground for faeries to exist, then you ignore this and repeat your fallacious claim.
