Only A Theory, Mind You!

[Hanrahan 2983]

The Center is Sola?

Many nights have been spent looking at the stars, analyzing, observing, charting and
writing. Many more have been spent looking at the changes. After many,
many sleepless nights, and periods of great mathematical calculations,
observations and study, I, with confidence propose this theory.

 

As the scriptures stated, the Heavens are supposedly 'fixed', and remain a
celestial gateway into the beyond, the afterlife. This could however,
not be the case. The stars shift around, the sun moves from place to
place depending on month, day, year. If the stars shift, and the sun
shifts, something must be moving. The Earth, of course. Not the case.
For during the winter months, certain celestial bodies dissapear, only
to re-appear during the spring, or summer! Then, even moreso confusing,
some far away planets reverse direction across the sky! What does this
mean? Well, here's the math for you.

These formulas cover the distance from our planet, to the Celestial body of Lune.
 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

By similarity of the triangles, \frac{D}{L} = \frac{t}{t-d} \quad and \quad \frac{D}{S} = \frac{t}{s-t}.
Dividing
these two equations and using the observation that the apparent sizes
of the Sola and Lune are the same, \frac{L}{S} = \frac{\ell}{s}, yields
\frac{\ell}{s} = \frac{t-d}{s-t} \ \  \ \frac{s-t}{s} =
\frac{t-d}{\ell} \ \ \ \ 1 - \frac{t}{s} = \frac{t}{\ell} -
\frac{d}{\ell} \ \ \ \ \frac{t}{\ell} + \frac{t}{s} = 1 +
\frac{d}{\ell}.
The rightmost equation can either be solved for ℓ/t
\frac{t}{\ell}(1+\frac{\ell}{s}) = 1 + \frac{d}{\ell} \ \ \ \
\ \frac{\ell}{t} = \frac{1+\frac{\ell}{s}}{1 + \frac{d}{\ell}}.
or s/t
\frac{t}{s}(1+\frac{s}{\ell}) = 1 + \frac{d}{\ell} \ \ \ \ \
\frac{s}{t} = \frac{1+\frac{s}{\ell}}{1 + \frac{d}{\ell}}.
The appearance of these equations can be simplified using n = d/ℓ and x = s/ℓ.
    \frac{\ell}{t} = \frac{1+x}{x(1+n)}
    \frac{s}{t} = \frac{1+x}{1+n}
The above equations give the radii of the Lune and Sola entirely in terms of observable quantities.
The following formulae give the distances to the Sola and Lune in terrestrial units:
    \frac{L}{t} = \left( \frac{\ell}{t} \right) \left( \frac{180}{\pi \theta} \right)
    \frac{S}{t} = \left( \frac{s}{t} \right) \left( \frac{180}{\pi \theta} \right)
where θ is the apparent radius of the Lune and Sola measured in degrees.
 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Neverminding the boring Mathematical equations, this quite obviously proves however,
that Sola is much, much larger then the celestial body we currently
reside on, and that Lune is much smaller then anticipated. Which means
of course, wouldn't it make far more sense for the much, much larger,
and therefor heavier Sola to move around the smaller earth. In short,
this theory of mine states;

1. The Celestial bodies do indeed rotate.

2. The Planet we stand upon is not the center of all.

3.  Sola is the center upon all else is located, and all revolves around it.

But if the moon and sun and stars all rotate along the same axis. how could the Planet. (landscape) not be the center. And yet we still get moon cycles. Even without the mathematic equasions it is still very diffecult to determin what is would be like (in theory) in space. Suppositly the minecraft world is actualy a loop. But If in rp we assume the unloaded chunks is the edge of the horrizon, then out world could be round. Even though the png files of minecraft blocks are flat, the placment of them could be curved. therefor having the world actualy be a large polygon. The effects of minecraft are difficult and are probably impossible to happen in real life.

[[ The Lord of the Craft universe does not follow real-history timelines; with the advances it had made so far, there would be several advances in many things that were not focused on in medieval history, no-doubt including mathematics. ]]

(( my apologies. I have just edited in quotation marks but instead It has just made another post. spell check is not working and I am unable to copy and paste things from word document into the forum. It all just seems to broken. ))

[DKC1011 10]

((I agree with Arya. Even if this rp server isn't based purely in history it's wrong to assume that there would have been such mathematical revolution as to support this. I haven't seen anybody rping sitting in a room for hours discovering this, nor has anyone else as it didn't happen. If you're going to rp alot of mathematics, you have to rp creating the system, or if you're using a previously invented system then you have to figure it out for yourself. You cannot just copy paste a bunch of equations from some website to back up your statement and say your character is making assumptions. Discoveries like that would take a long time, lifetimes, even to do. A person would not just assume things.))

Edward lets a small frown creep across his face as he stares at the small piece of paper for several moments.

He rips it in half and whispers to Rufaro,

"Catch the heretic and bring him to me."
