anyone heard of tradition of starting voyages on new moon

i ask because you can do this in that case:

nomad started voyage exactly on new moon when the angle between sun and moon is zero degrees

along the voyage they would count sunsets and exactly on the 28th sunset they would measure the angle between sun and moon

if the angle was 10º it meant they have travelled 5º of longitude

so anyone heard of songs or folklore sying on starting a voyage on new moon?

Google shows plenty of superstition on the bold part of your quote

well the reason is simple see my 1st post

in an east travel around the world sun advnaces one revolution and moon delays one revolution more from as it would from greenwhich,(willy fog)

the rest is easy

the thing its in cartoons but supresed from history

edit:

im kind of seeing why it got supressed:

are you sure we have been told the truth about TIME?

i go east for 28 days you remain at greenwhich

i know ive travelled 90º during those 28 days

you dont move during 28 days

after each counting to 28 sunsets we look at the sun and the moon

you see new moon i see full moon

time relativity anyone?

"you see new moon i see full moon"

No, that's incorrect.

You post interesting stuff

But wouldn't we have all this type of navigation worked out by now?

I know we have flown highly accurate atomic clocks on opposite routes around the globe and measured the difference, we've had Astronauts speak to us from the Moon and the ISS and can measure the difference and thus eventually be able to calibrate such every day devices as car sat nav that is as near as accurate as we'll need.

As for relativity, the answer is, its only relative to the perceiver ... that's what it means ... I think

I'm not sure what your point is here to be honest?

The above could be used in pretty much every single one of raaids threads, devoid of basic logic....

Another xxxxxxxx topic. Any chance of re-running the poll to see who wants Raaaid to continue spouting his inane drivel?

Dear Raaaid:

I was suspecting, but after reading this genuine argument, now I am sure: your account is being used at least by two others.

One of them have posted that the earth is flat, and the other has proved it has radius of 600 km. You should delete your account right now

Please don't take it too seriously. i know you won't
