The effect of the Earth's rotational motion

When eclipses from a slightly more distant past are examined, even great shortcomings can be noticed in them.

There are three different reasons for this. The first is that, despite NASA’s assurances, there may still be some pretty significant flaw in the way they calculate.

Another option is that in ancient times something significant has happened in history that causes retrospective disturbances in the measurement of time for that time.

The third option is that there are unknown large gaps in researchers' knowledge of the course of history.

This dissertation assumes that NASA has made quite the right calculations for the location of the solar eclipses.

Let's look at that second option. And has anything special happened in history in relation to this? Such a significant event is mentioned in the Bible in 2 Kings 20, verses 9-11, where it is said, somewhat indirectly, that 'the shadow moved back 10 steps'. This happened when Hezekiah was king of Judah. What happened in practice at that time that caused the shadow to move is a matter of some conjecture. However, many have considered it very possible that the earth rotated backwards somewhat.

Another possibility would be that an object that made the shadow moved.

The fact that we are investigating an event beyond the comprehension of such a person (which can therefore be described as a "miracle") should come as no surprise to those who, in their own words, "believe in nothing". This is because this book is literally looking at things through pure science. Pure science does not ignore the fact that there may be things in the universe that humans cannot quite understand straight away. If, on the other hand, pure science were to be ignored and things considered from a purely human perspective, then the possibility of such events would be ignored. Those who think it is impossible to imagine that the Earth could have spun backwards cannot deny the existence of powerful 'disturbances': many recorded eclipses cannot be properly found if strict scientific criteria are used. On the other hand, they themselves can 'believe' in things that are completely beyond human comprehension, such as giant 'black holes' in space.

In any case, the undersigned is not qualified enough to question how well NASA scientists know their job. In dealing with this very special event, the author does so because he himself wants to know if there are eclipses recorded in ancient times when strict conditions are applied to them without compromising the research conducted by NASA.

Effect on gravity of earth

Many may, however, raise interesting questions about how such a rapid cessation and reversal of the Earth’s rotation, stopping again and again from spinning in the right direction, could affect life on earth. Finnish physicist Timo Suvanto has studied and considered this issue.

He states: "At the equator man feels 0.3% lighter than he would feel if the Earth did not rotate." This means that the Earth's gravity would feel 0.3% higher if the Earth stopped rotating. A greater impact would be made by his following assessment: “If the rotation of the earth suddenly ceased. . . an observer on the equator would take off like an alder spear with everything else loose at a speed of 1700 km/h when the factor of celestial body presses the brake to stop the earth's rotation.” This would be quite a catastrophe, that would remove the ground-work for the theory I put forward that this could have happened.

However, this latter theory of physicist Suvanto is a rounded figure, not mathematically calculated. It is based on the assumption that the Earth's rotational speed on its axis - the highest at the equator - is about 1670 km/h. The Earth's sense of stagnation is also influenced by the Earth's gravitational pull and the atmosphere. In order for loose objects on the Earth (including people outside) to 'continue their journey' at that speed of 1670 km/h when the Earth's rotation stops, the Earth's gravity would also have to be greatly reduced. However, this does not happen, but the earth starts to hold on "tighter" to all movable objects. So how does the Earth's atmosphere work?

The atmosphere around us is constantly in the same motion as we humans, as it “rotates” with the earth at a speed of 1670 kilometers per hour. This thing illustrates how enormous the force of gravity of earth be. In addition, it helps to understand how much force air currents have, as the wind blows (i.e., air moves) in which direction it wants, regardless of the direction in which the earth is rotating. When the rotation of the earth stops, under the influence of gravity this movement of the atmosphere stops at some point, on what kind of schedule, apparently no one has calculated it. In any case, the atmosphere would cause very high air resistance, so that the lightest items might hover for only a short distance.

This matter may not have been seriously studied by physicists for what effects the earth could have.
However, physicist Timo Suvanto also takes into account the fact that things are in good control, continuing with a bit of humor, accompanied by:

“It doesn’t have to be just fiction, though. At least not if we believe the Old Testament and the book of Joshua . . . As is well known, God is omnipotent, omniscient, and far from wise. The latter feature would probably be of use here . . . . . stopping the rotation of the Earth. After all, no one tells you to do it as an emergency brake, but by lightly pedaling or turning the brake lever. What kind of mechanism does the Earth brake happen now. ” (Timo Suvanto's blog can be found at blogspot.com)

The British science and technology magazine BBC Science Focus covers this same issue in a little more detail on its website.16-1

In any case, it can be observed that the cessation of the Earth's rotation or the sudden start of its rotation "backwards" would have devastating effects if only the ensuing reactions under normal natural laws were taken into account. Thus, the possibility of such a hypothesis inevitably involves the confidence that the Supreme, who in this way treats the earth as he sees fit as if it were a small and light object like a tennis ball, could do so in a controlled manner so that no harm would occur. Such a controlled operation could be said to be another miracle related to this.

Theoretical options

Let us make a theoretical dissertation on this on the basis of the option related to the rotation of that country.

If we assume that the earth rotated backwards, that ‘10 steps’ could not answer for 10 hours. About a big change would have meant moving to a different time of day. The Bible does not mention going back in time to night. First, a table related to this.

The Jews used to divide the day into four periods. So they may well have also divided the hour into four or more short periods.

Let's assume a few options in the table here.

Parts

 of an 

hour.   CHA Total time

10.         15°      1 hour

–            17°      1 h. 8 min.

8           18,75º  1 h. 15 min.

6             25°      1 h. 40 min.

4.           37,5°    2,5 hours

3.           50°       3 h. 20 min.

2.           75°       5 hours

In this theoretical paper on probability, we use the transition according to those alternatives before the year 732 BCE. solar- and lunar eclipses.

Let's clarify the table a bit. Here, one hour is estimated to be 15 degrees.

Parts of Hour 10:
The length of each “step” is about 6 minutes.
Parts of an hour 8:
Each "stage" is about 7,5 min long.
Parts of an hour 6:
Each "stage" is approx. 10 min.
Parts of Hour 4:
The length of each “step” is about 15 minutes.
Parts of Hour 3:
The length of each “step” is about 20 minutes.
Parts of Hour 2:
The length of each “step” is about 30 minutes

Sure, that change time could have been anything else, but these already provide some guidance if that transition actually took place. That five-hour transition could be pretty much the maximum that could fit the narrative described.

When these eclipse changes have been studied, it has been done in the following way: A new locality has been added to the Stellarium program, named e.g., ‘17 Babylon ’. It is marked with E27° and parts. This is 17 degrees west of the Babylonian location, which is E44° and parts. The same has been done for many of the other locations and alternative changes listed above.

This publication uses the abbreviation 'CHA' for this change in longitude (see page 15).
