top secret ancient tech the COUNTER solar point to obtain longitude

[raaaid]

probably you heard of the antisolñar point, thats the position of the sun plus 180º in both axes

but what about the counter solar point, most probable supressed tech due to its importance

the position of the sun in a mirror, the counter sun that always goes at the same rate than the normal sun but in opposite sense

why its relevance?

let me quote messie verne:



if you add to this the counter sun

phileas fog would count 79 suns and 81 countersuns going east vizeversa going west, while in greenwhich they would count 80 of both

crazy stuff to know your longitude you just need to keep track of the time difference of the sun time vs the counter time of the counter sun

such a secret and top tech used by the top empires it remains still so, oh so much lost in the library of alexandria the more time it passes the less we know

Imagine flying around the world in a plane at ~1.700km/h.
Imagine to take off during sunrise.
Now if you look back, there will always be only one sunrise - FOR EVER!
You'd be in a "Raaid-paradoxon". Crazy stuff, huh?

Curse those wretched 4th Century Christian fanatics declaring everything heretical and burning it

There was a few before the heretic burners who got stuck in, and a major kill the non-believers lot, who gave razing the library a go after them though....
Its amazing what people will destroy in god's name, eh?

this thread has been discussed before, looks like yet more spam from Raaaid to me..

[raaaid]

no its diferent before i discussed the lunar distance method:

this is an improved method just using the sun exclusivily to obtain longitude

I have always suspected that this "Raaid" fellow had some sort of hidden wisdom or even intelligence ,until now! Rubbish the lot of it!
