Excellent Posts SuperViking & schrodingers dog (Actually all the posts from the membership have been very insightful). I am glad I finally
remembered to post this, it is something that has been on my mind for many years.
What you both describe is partly why I put this thread in "Conspiracy".
There is a definite 'system' to the way we perceive things. Some parts of the system are just plain common sense, but other aspects are not so
sensical. Time Zones wrap the earth, the same way that the earth spins. But the 'time zone' was invented in order to systemically control train
schedules in Europe.
In regard to North being up, in Regard to the North Star, I understand that, and laughed aloud about Santa Claus. I guess what I mean, similarly to
how the scale of maps are distorted depending on origin, is if 'North' is 'Up' at least partially from a psychological and societal perspective.
If history is written by the victors, then of course Europe would be 'Up North' so to speak.
As you can see from the
en.wikipedia.org..., the origin of the word backs up Super Viking.
The word north is traced to the Old High German nord, and the Proto-Indo-European unit ner-, meaning "left" (or "under"). (Presumably a
natural primitive description of its concept is "to the left of the rising sun".)
In regard to the spatiality of 'North' being 'Up'... I have never understood sci-fi tv shows with their spaceships flying around like airplanes.
I guess that goes with my Question as to why North is Up, what besides the North Star is above the North part of our poles, our South as well. I
understand that because the planets are orbiting the sun that there are certain 'planar' attributes to the solar system, and likewise the galaxy.
But does the same hold true for the Universe, is the edge closer above and below then it is in the 'plane' of all sides?
Either way, the visual evidence I presented shows a majority of what I am trying to describe as to the connections between magnetism and gravity, the
shape of a drop and the land masses. I hope to post some overlays if I can find a better drip that isn't as extended.
