Enjoy your ignorance then I suppose. 🤷‍♀️

I suppose I could ask you or anyone else this - why is there perfect concentric circles on night time lapse pictures?

Because it's a time-lapse photo with the lens pointed at the pollar north.  Each star trace is only partial,  as is evident in the photo.  That concentric, circular look can't be achieved unless you aim the camera at either the southern or northern pole.

I do understand the north star and yes, its as partial trail due to only a 6 hour time lapse. I just expect to see some lateral movement or some deviation other than a perfect circle because our orbit shouldnt make perfect circle's.

Sounds like more drivel to me man.

Just two hundred years of the same old stuff man.

Also, you can always tell youre close to the target when you start taking flak or attack bots come out of lurk mode retirement.

See, you make statements like that without any reason. Why shouldn't it make it make perfect circles?

The earth orbit does precess, but over thousands of years, which is far too long for any tiny little camera to identify.

So that tower is in the same position regarding that procession or orbit all day, 24/7, 365 days a year? I dont see us spinning as a top.

Well yeah that tower, just like the camera are attached to the ground which is the earth which has gravity which is spinning which makes the fucking circles in a long exposure when the camera is pointed at the staionairy tower on a spinning planet. WTF is there not to understand

Picture a hypnosis spiral on your ceiling while youre looking up at it. Pretend it's slowly spinning.

Only one thing is spinning and nothing is moving right?

So by the numbers everything moving at a constant rate or you could say it's also not moving.

I always put one foot on the floor when that happens. Never seems to help though.🥃

He’s trolling us dude. No way anyone who wants to understand how the earth spins in space goes to a mountain bike website.

You guys have zero imagination and way too much ego.

We cant even have a conversation about anything because smarter people told you all how it is years ago.

That means you've already been hypnotized then.

The fire in my butt is hot enough to fuse helium atoms.
