Does the Earth spin/rotate about it's axis?

Yes, and it unequivocally points towards the earth rotating around it's axis in addition to rotating around the sun.

According to observations the expansion of the universe is accelerating. If this is the case, why can't we feel this acceleration?

Because it has no effect on us. The space between the galaxies is expanding. Galaxies are gravitationally bound.

Much of this has already been covered. Why don't you go back ad read the thread again from the beginning.

You can.

My cock is 2 cms bigger when it's hard now, than when I was 18 and it mainly happened over the last 10 years.

John didn't mention that he started wearing glasses 10 years ago.

Yes, but at the speed I go relativistic effectsalso kick in and it's even bigger than that

Do you go as fast as the guy in this video? He's launching a remote control helicopter from the hood of his truck to demonstrate that the earth doesn't spin;

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xokMcO3T0SY[/youtube]

The video is totally bizarre......(i did a quick flick through).

and it appears to coincide with al of the OP'ers physics misconceptions!

You really have to wonder if he was awake in school during science lessons.

If he ever goes in for long range rifle shooting 1200 yards plus or into an artillery regiment then he suddenly find that if he doesn't allow for the earths rotation he'll miss the target.

Weaver · **#2477** by **Weaver** » May 18, 2012 12:45 am

He's completely dishonest.

In his launches from the moving truck, he maneuvers the helo toward the rear of the truck immediately upon launch - he's forcing the appearance he wants. The helo starts facing the direction of motion, but upon launch he drops the tail, maneuvering the helo backwards.

Plus he's an idiot.

Its a bit creepy that even down a mine, using a gyro theodolite, you can tell that you are on a rotating body and what the direction of the spin-axis is. And yet some people insist that other perceptions like beauty and God are "of course" just arbitrary figments of the mind.

Perceptions? The theodolite measures a physical effect and returns empirical evidence. What instrumentation have you employed to detect beauty and God, and which returns empirical evidence?

Surely, 'just' is the problem word there, depending on whether one takes it as meaning 'solely' or 'merely', and on whether one hopes to be able to insist that some particular god (but, typically, very much not all gods) actually exists other than in the human mind despite a lack of grown-up evidence, and have other people feeling more or less obliged to agree even when they have different opinions.
