Moreau Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Question: Will the Sun rise from the west? Answer: There will be a geomagnetic reversal and the sun will (for all intents and purposes) rise from the west.

Ekejen Luish Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Okay, people, cannot we just all peacefully accept that other people have other ideas, beliefs, and religions? I mean really, this stuff is getting annoying. I bet you aren't even muslim in real life, Moreau. Seriously, some are muslim, some are christian, some are hindu, etc. Does the Koran say you must be annoying? Does the Bible say you must be annoying? No! 3 Quote This is very small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekejen Luish Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'm fine with Muslims, and Christians, and Hindus, and all religions. I really don't care what your religion is. And I don't get why you care so much about it. 1 Quote This is very small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreau Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Okay, guys, get back on topic. Does anyone have any counter evidence to suggest the Sun will not be rising from the west? Quote Signed by Sultan Moreau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarke Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 No Christianity does not. Christianity used the image of sol to connect with the pagans of the British Isles. Christianity is basically sun worship, whether we accept it or not, Agree or Disagree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekejen Luish Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 UNLESS a giant meteor hits the Earth and knocks it into a different orbit path or something spinning the opposite way, in which case everyone and everything on Earth would be dead so it wouldn't matter at that point.

Sabcat Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The problem with the argument in short is that it's a lot of bollocks. Sweaty pig's bollocks. The earth is not rotating on a spring, it is not going to change direction. Oddly though it is perfectly possible for the sun to rise in the west, sort of. Every half a million years or so the earth goes through a geomagnetic reversal, when this happens next then the sun will indeed rise in the west, at least according to compasses. Praise be to Allah and all the other magic pixies that live in the sky and control the world. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it won't stop briefly and begin rotating in the opposite direction. It'll just become tidally locked with the Sun, so it'll rotate once per year. The problem with the argument in short is that it's a lot of bollocks. Sweaty pig's bollocks. The earth is not rotating on a spring, it is not going to change direction. Oddly though it is perfectly possible for the sun to rise in the west, sort of.

Praise be to Allah and all the other magic pixies that live in the sky and control the world. A geomagnetic reversal doesn't have anything to do with the rotation of the earth. It has to do with the Earth's magnetic poles. A geomagnetic reversal will just cause compasses to point south instead of north. It won't change the rotation of the Earth.

Administrators Alex Posted April 5, 2016 Administrators Share Posted April 5, 2016 Right, so the Earth slowing down and changing direction won't happen. There is no "spring" and that just wouldn't make sense. The bit about a geomagnetic change causing it to rise in the west is technically correct, but physically nothing would change, your compasses will just be flipped. Eventually though, the Earth will be in tidal lock with the Sun, just like how the Moon is in tidal lock with the Earth (why we always see the same side of the moon.) That'll leave one half of the Earth really warm and deserty, and the other half pretty cold and ice-agey. I suspect humanity, if it still exists at that point, will be living underground or on the fringes where there is twilight and some mixture of warmth and cold. 2 Quote Is there a bug?

Ekejen Luish Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Giant meteorite/several-small-ones hitting the earth - it is. No, actually, giant meteorite would blow up the Earth/kill all of us and all life on Earth, and the amount of 'small meteors' that wouldn't kill us needed would be extremely immense, creating something like a remake of the Heavy Bombardment, making it super hot due to atmospheric friction on hundreds of thousands or millions or maybe even billions of meteors.
