      Planet Earth - Jagdish Krishanlal Arora

      Introduction

      THE EARTH REALLY DOES rotate. It spins on its axis, which is why we experience day and night. The Earth completes one rotation in approximately 24 hours, creating one full day.

      Additionally, Earth orbits around the Sun, taking about 365.25 days to complete one full orbit, which gives us a year. This rotation and orbit are responsible for the cycle of days, nights, and seasons that we experience.

      My point of view is that the Earth is static. For me it is still unbelievable that the Earth Rotates and is circular. Although, evidence shows that the Earth is circular, and round and it rotates on its own axis as well as around the Sun. I have also written a little bit on Earth and dimensions in my other book on How the Universe works.

      No matter what the scientific evidence, satellites, images and video proofs may say, for me the Earth will always remain flat to me, even though in reality the Earth is round and moving around itself and around the Sun. Science says all objects on Earth stay on the surface, as the gravitational force present on Earth pulls them to the centre of the Earth, which means no matter what state there are in, the objects will not fall into space, or outside of the atmosphere of the Earth. This is difficult to explain and can only be told verbally by me.

      I am not able to believe the Earth is round and moving because, we see the same stars, even after the Earth is moving at different locations around the Sun. While the moon is appearing and disappearing, the planets and stars appear to be at the same positions, even after we are supposed to see other stars on the opposite side of the Sun, just like the moon, which is sometimes in front of the Earth and sometimes at the back of the earth.

      I want to tell a lot of secrets of the Earth, but the problem is no one is noticing me, and I cannot write those things in my books. But if the Earth was really flat, we may not have had seasons, and life would have ended soon, there would be regular famines and other natural calamities, that is what God, or whoever is the higher being is telling me, while writing this book. My mind may be erratic in describing, but the book must be perfect. I cannot write erratically, the way we speak on a stage or a seminar.

      The large size of the Earth makes it flat, but when we see it in its entireness, we can see its actual shape. My logic was why do we need to keep the Earth round and not flat. In earlier times, when we said that the Earth was flat, the sun was a moving object in the sky moving from left to right and from right to left. The stars were static objects.

      My book presents all the scientific evidence, but my doubts remain in totality. I am not used to scientific terms, but I can describe entire Earth, Universe, Solar Systems mentioned in my books and how they work anytime when my brain is in theta super state.

      Another important aspect of the Earth being round and hanging in space, is that it is an impossible thing in science. Not only the Earth, but all the planets are round and so are the stars or sun’s, these are also round or almost round or spherical as we say to solid objects.

      The most mysterious part is that these objects can hang in space, and planets like Earth can have atmospheres, which have air in them, which does not escape the Earth, even after the planet is surrounded by vacuum.

      But when we create the same vacuum on Earth, it can suck anything in it. But the space vacuum does not suck any air from the Earth, but it will suck any human being exposed to space. But, the satellites and spacecraft are not sucked by space and after a certain distance from Earth, these devices are also out of the gravitation of the Earth.

      We will discuss this topic in my future book, where I may even design UFOs and write some of my own inventions.

      Chapter 1: The Shape of the Earth: Understanding the Transition from Flat to Round

      THE SHAPE OF THE EARTH has long been a subject of human curiosity and speculation. In ancient times, the Earth was widely believed to be flat, a notion that seemed logical given the vast expanses of land and oceans that appear to stretch endlessly in every direction. The Sun's movement across the sky from east to west, and the apparent stillness of the stars, also contributed to this belief. However, as human knowledge and understanding of the natural world advanced, it became clear that the Earth is not flat but rather round (or more precisely, an oblate spheroid). This topic will examine the historical shift from the belief that the Earth was flat to the understanding that it is spherical, the science behind this realization, and the philosophical implications of this discovery.

      The Flat Earth Theory: Historical Context

      In ancient civilizations, the belief that the Earth was flat was largely due to the lack of advanced scientific tools and understanding. The ancient Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and early Greeks all had different ideas about the shape of the Earth, but the concept of a flat Earth was a common thread among many early cultures. The flat Earth model was simple, intuitive, and in line with everyday observations. To ancient people, the Earth seemed like a vast, stationary plane that extended infinitely in all directions. The Sun appeared to travel across the sky from east to west, and the stars were seen as fixed points in the night sky, leading to the belief that Earth was a flat surface upon which the celestial bodies moved.

      The flat Earth theory was also supported by practical observations. For example, the horizon always seemed level, and no curvature was noticeable even from high vantage points such as mountains. Sailors and travellers could see the same land and horizon lines from their perspectives. This apparent consistency of the Earth’s surface led to the idea that the Earth was a flat, stationary object. Furthermore, ancient mythologies often depicted Earth as a flat disk or a vast plane supported by great pillars or sea monsters, reflecting the prevailing worldview of the time.

      The Sun’s Movement and Early Astronomical Views

      In ancient cultures, the Sun was often viewed as a moving object in the sky, crossing from one side of the horizon to the other, following a predictable path. This movement
