Day On Earth

A nychthemeron or a day on earth is a deceivingly simple concept. Today we will examine that day on earth in detail. Perhaps uncovering a few surprises.

All our videos are available for download from our web site or from iTunesU, Beyond Campus section. Yes you can use this video in your non-profit astronomy presentation.

When one speaks of millions/billions of yrs., one assumes there have been no non-linearities. One need only look at the one sided, pock marked moon to know there have been huge non-linearities. We cannot assume things are now as they were even 10,000 yrs. ago.

If you are referring to the laws of physics, we are able to do various tests to ensure that they have not changed over the history of our universe.

What is the music

good video

but i keep asking what the music is and i get no response!!!!!!!

I even sent them a comment with my e-mail adress

[cassiopeiaproject]

We have an audio technician on staff who creates our audio tracks. His primary source for the music is from a subscription we have with FirstCom. You can google FirstCom for more info.

That's ridiculous. First of all, that's like saying that science has proven Zeus exists because we have explained thunder and lightning.

And second, the statement is incorrect; the sun and moon do not orbit the earth. The moon does. The earth orbits the sun.

But the authors of the Quran didn't know that; they went with the less-correct astronomical ideas of their time - 1500 years ago.

Awesome video. May I get a copy ?? Can we use this in non-profit astronomy presentations ?

Yes higher being, as in the cause of the universe? No thor no jupiter, these are gods made up by human imagination combining different ideas and thoughts through observing sensible tangible material or objects in this limited universe.

What we in Islam refer to is the creator of this whole existence, the cause for this universe, that is rationally confirmed through consideration, and is NOT inside this unvierse, nor bound by its laws and boundaries. Thats why you cant sense Him.

good video annoying voice ...

[derman077]

So you say it's an elipse and others say is a circle. Who is lying ? I'm getting tired of mixed data. What is THE truth?

[dem0n1k]

@MHD2200 but that fails to explain anything. if there is a creator & he created physics in this way to make planets orbit the way they do... why that way? religion doesn't answer anything... it just creates more questions.

[funkfanzzify]

Well, I have to take some more time in order to get the right perception of this information. Well done, intriging

[tanarus77]

But when it all boils down, left thinking brain has its limits, and cannot and never will beable to explain everything into a scientific fact. So in my opinion if science cannot explain why something does what it does, it is all hogwash to them
