The fact that it's undefined. It's just like if I have a graph with a line of the x-axis, it's vertical and it goes up and the slope is undefined. But if I had a graph with the line at the y-axis, it goes horizontally and now I have a slope of 0. You must have a SLOPE OF UNDEFINED AT FIRST TO REACH THE MOON. YOU CANNOT PURELY RELY ON A SLOPE OF 0 TO GET YOU THERE and then that's where the fallacy in that comes in and from. That people say or interpret what they think I'm saying or want to believe on how I said or wanted to believe it but I wasn't denying the facts. I was telling the facts and pointing that out. And if I had plenty of graph paper, I could continue graphing on and on lines for infinity. Just give me tons of paper and I'm all set with a ruler to graph the whole thing and see where the slope of line gets me overtime.
Dude, you need to stop going on about this. Nobody here is saying that you can reach the moon by going any way except up. I don't know why you keep going on about this.

Re: Directions of The Earth's Revolution As It Rotates From Different Prospectives?
Since there seems to be confusion as to whether there is any discussion to be had here:
I'm honestly not sure if Max acknowledges certain properties of...existence here. How about we formulate a question, find ourselves a damn answer and be done with it?
Re: Directions of The Earth's Revolution As It Rotates From Different Prospectives?
That's just the thing. For the life of me, I cannot piece together whether Max has a question or not.

Because it does, Sherlock Holmes. Oh wait, you'd do your best to forget that. Never mind. :X
Yeah, he didn't know the Earth moved around the Sun, and you gave me the impression that you don't seem to, either.
Anyway, I'll interpret the physics of the rotation later.

@OFF-TOPIC, but I have taken Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2. I know what I'm talking about. And what about Physics do you mean? Also there's a such thing as a Z axis? I used to believe it was X and Y.
@Diarago: I'm aware of this existence. I'm not saying that I'm not aware of certain properties of existence.
@Lusankya: I know that up is up but I'm not saying anything about cardinal directions being related to the Earth directions. Jeez. Besides, I wouldn't know if noncardinal directions would be a real term or a such thing. It's also some discussion that could be getting nowhere now, sadly.
Oh I almost forgot Hoshika's post in here. Dammit. I was gone for quite a bit and I come back and I have so many more responses. See? This is what happens when I leave my topic to go do something else.
Ok. Copy/Paste Not Working on this computer.

Gravity much?
I think because they'd be out of the gravity by then but if the plane stopped flying or ran out of gas, gravity would cause them to fall. It's a proven fact. It's just how birds may not be able to breathe either if they go out the Earth's Atmosphere and they may get cold and die. If a bird's wings were broken or they stopped flapping, they could go down and fall out the sky and something bad might happen to them. I don't know. Either injury or death but I've never seen a bird act this way except for in Pokemon, which what I don't really want this topic to be about. I'm afraid. :(

What doesn't make sense? I don't remember. It was all perfectly logical. I don't get what you're trying to get at.

That doesn't make sense either. Seriously. We're in the third dimension, not second. There's another axis you have to take into account wait never mind this sentence confuses me.
I'll have to look into what you're talking about the third dimension having to do with not being to use or have cardinal directions but you may have a point there. Sorry but it was late when I got back home and to my computer and I got on a real funky one. So I'm editing these in on the computer I had used to type some of my responses up on the previous pages.

I am dearly sorry but my mother doesn't want me on the more functional computer unless I can sneak on there at some time during the night. That's a lot of hard work with the lag of the forums and her waking up when I'm in there all the time.

You don't do 3-dimensional graphing until Pre-Calc.

Re: Directions of The Earth's Revolution As It Rotates From Different Prospectives?
Dude, seriously. I read like half of one sentence of one of your posts and my mind wanders elsewhere. x_X If you really want to write that long, surely you should be asking on some form of educated Science forum and not a Pokemon forum where some of the members are barely in high school. I still don't get what you're asking. Why can't you just ask in one simple sentence?
Re: Directions of The Earth's Revolution As It Rotates From Different Prospectives?
......GAH! OVERLOADING! *head explodes except for his vocoder*
I agree with Tombi... I read one sentence and another bit of my already tiny brain dies X.x I don't even understand the question! You might be a college professor, but I don't think anyone else (besides Kenny, maybe) is. SIMPLE QUESTIONS FOR SIMPLICITY, PLEASE! *leaves to repair his brain*

Umm, Tombi, sorry to break it to you, but his posts aren't that advanced... they're just rambling...

@Max: Read over everything you said after you learn some more in school.
Also Holden's a character from The Catcher in the Rye. From the way you were attempting to go about this situation I thought that you'd be a little well-versed in literature, too. Oh well. Can't make sense out of anything you say, so I'm just gonna lurk this thread.

I've actually taken Earth Science and I believe I studied some Physics in the 8th grade but I'm not concerned in the course of study. When I said direction in the title, you might've thought I meant clockwise or counterclockwise direction since the Earth and everything, all the Planets revolve around the sun in a counterclockwise direction while Earth spins also counterclockwise and Venus countercounterclockwise which means it's the opposite of counterclockwise so it spins or rotates clockwise. I meant in like which way it'd seem to other people if you could see from the far side of the Earth or from one side to the other side of the Earth, what cardinal directions may it seem like it's moving in space. I know when you look on the globe, in fact, my globe, or the globe that I mentioned, the Smart Globe may have seemed just a little to big for me to see everything going on. When I work with the much smaller globes, that are getting old, ruined, and so rusty now, as in I mean some part of the color from a continent's coming off it, it's easier for me to see these things.
It's just as if I pretended or acted like I was spinning and rotating around some object. Some part of me would be facing one direction while the other side of me faces the total opposite. Then to go all the way around on my axis, I'd have to rotate in all 4 cardinal directions no matter which way I start and turn. Clockwise or countercounterclockwise which is the same thing as clockwise, makes no difference, I have to make all rights. So I could start off in the South position but since I'm on the Earth, it makes little sense NOT to use THESE CARDINAL DIRECTIONS while it may seem like North when I'm on the other side of the world trying to face the same way but it might work out to either that or I turn around so to make me always facing South. It'd be South, West, North, and East. THEN THAT'D BE North, East, South, and West. Counterclockwise would be when I start South and then turn East, North, and West. If I was on the other side of the world and thought I'd be facing the same cardinal direction, then I'd have to think again because now I'm pointing more towards the North Pole rather than the South Pole or the equator. So this would be that I'm facing North instead of South and then turning West, South, and East depending on the direction the planets spin and we all pretty much know that but when they orbit they're basically gliding off in any old direction without it being named a cardinal direction, the nonexisting North, South, West, and East.
Sorry if this may look like I'm just currently and constantly rambling on again, but it's just my opinion that this'll look weird on the Earth based on the facts I know and I figured this out when I traced my index finger on each of the globes and realized once you go past the North Pole or the highest North or HIGHEST IN LATITUDE but may not be the GREATEST IN LONGITUDE all directions start to point South on the Earth while at the South Pole, it's totally different because the directions start to Point North, while the Earth can only be orbitting the sun in one direction while it seems like all 4 without breaking or splitting apart because they're all spinning in one piece together, but in an undefined cardinal direction from the way it look likes.
Oh so Holden's a character from "The Catcher in the Rye?"? I never read the story before and I pretty much know some literature that has to do with following the stars as in "Follow The Drinking Gourd"; though I had forgotten who had written the story because it was a long long time ago.

Yea, the earth definitely goes around the SUN.
If that was the case, why isn't there life on the sun?? xDDDD
