How do we know for sure that Earth doesn't have a twin planet opposite of the sun?
Because there are spacecraft round the back side of the Sun with side-ward looking cameras called STEREO.
>>8061749
Gravity.
because of lunar and solar eclipses.
>>8061749
For many reasons. The simplest being that it would be plainly visible to all space probes that have traveled beyond Earth orbit.
>>8061749
>because of lunar and solar eclipses.
?
>>8061798
I know you're joking, but it's still worth noting that NASA is not the only entity that has launched space probes.
>>8061810
Yeah I was joking.
>>8061774
It would be clearly visible from earth, as our orbit is not a circle.
>>8061821
Most elliptic depictions of Earth's orbit are waaaaaay exaggerated. Earth's orbit is as close to a circle as it gets
>>8061833
Even so counter-earth has been debunked.
Where are the fucking aliens hiding man?
>mouth breathers who think a "theory" means its open to debate in the science world.
Read about the discovery of Neptune.
>>8061817
Suure
>>8061749
L3 is unstable, so had it been there the pertubations would have brought it out of position and then made visible.

How do you even know you are standing on Earth? It could be Jupiter and everything else might be a lie and incorrectly named.
>>8061856
I mean it's up for debate but you would have to prove scientists have missed some important shit. Or there is a better way of looking at the phenomena; or our perspective led to bias?
I'm from there, I'm there right now, my name is "Dave".
What do you want to know?
Even though our language and tech are exactly the same [highly unlikely? how about shut up] we look different.
We're better looking than you and we don't ask stupid questions.
Earth #1 > "Earth" [your shitty planet]
>>8061749
Our probes have caught it 500000 times already
>>8061973
How is that a reasonable answer
What do eclipses have to do with anything
Wtf
>>8062107
That's it? You would have had me with 5000000 or even 600000, but that's really not enough to convince me.
>>8062162
i madea a typo. i meant 5000000000000
>>8061973
are you baiting?
do you even know what eclipses actually are?

no idea. its still just a theory (a gauss)

Gravity doesn't prove that there is nothing on the other side of earth's orbit, since it's one of the lagrangian stable points
>>8061862
He... probably was? The kind of people who go "sheeple" about NASA are not likely to change their mind over a single rebuttal on a korean puppet theater BBS.
>>8061871
/aaaand thats a thread, folks.
>>8063260
>one of the lagrangian stable points
Not quite.
L1, L2 and L3 are on saddle points. In practice this means that a perturbation will bring an object in one of these points out of position. The effects of Jupiter is probably sufficient.
L4 and L5 are stable, not strictly points either, more of extended areas. However these are visible from Earth.
>>8063277
Seems you and I are the only physicists in here today.
>>8061749
Because the Solar System is geocentric.

I'm posting from the other Earth, too. The weird thing is, the two Earths have the same internet, but other things are different. For instance, we have a president named Barack Obama. Isn't that crazy? Anyway, hellooo all other earthicans!

I made a program this semester that simulates a trojan. It does tadpoles and horseshoes, it's pretty cool.
>>8061749
It wasn't coded in the Matrix but if you leave your jar and send a spacecraft to space, you would find it.
>>8065424
Has anyone else said that about your program?
>>8061749
Because counter-earth is actually Mars, you dumb calot.
>>8065424
You can also "lean in" using the solar wind. It has been proposed for use with L2 mirrors (or one gigantic annulus) to permanently delete the night.
Pic related, from a discussion years ago.
>>8066834
Yeah that totally won't play havoc with life on earth. We'll have everything in warehouses by that point, have everything down to a science.
>>8066855
Havoc? Actually, in the summer, north of the polar circle the sun shines 24 hours a day and life goes on splendidly. OK, so some humans have problems.
From vague memories I believe the idea was to reflect blue light and rely on the atmosphere to scatter the light into a diffuse blue sky, just like the evening sky just after sunset.
>>8061798
I guess the Earth is flat as well.
>>8065399
Peer review is the closest equivalent. If you can't prove that you're right, your theory doesn't matter and will be summarily rejected.
>>8061749
Because when we look in that direction during the night time when the sun is out of the way, there is nothing.

>since it's one of the lagrangian stable points
Since our solar system is not a 3-Body system those points won't be stable as you think.
