ValentineMary:
I could not help but chuckle at the overwhelming ignorance of the OP. What is it with NIGERIAN YOUTHS AND REASONING For crying out loud Einstein prediction was talking about the gravitational ripples formed by large bodies far away and how they could spread like a water mechanical wave (though gravitational waves are electromagnetic). It proved Newton's law on classical mechanics of gravity not complete. And Allah just went ahead to show that he does know much about what he created. Still subscribing to the ancient Greek astronomy that all bodies in the observable universe have an orbit around the earth ain't cool for a guy who we thought made the world. Even Einstein knew better. Thus Einstein is greater than Allah

Let me help you well with a source from google

" In physics, gravitational waves are ripples in the curvature of spacetime which
propagate as waves, travelling outward from the source.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_wave "

Now let this be the day you learn something new. Orbits are as a result in the distortion of space/time by mass of an object in relation to an even bigger body of mass.

Gravitational waves are ripples of space/time distortion travelling outward from the source of distortion basically blackholes.

Orbits don't travel in wave-like patterns outwardly distorting the fabrics of space/time with the speed of light.

You probably saw "curvature" of space/time and got excited..

Now next time you choose to dabble in such simpleton-like ideas make sure you read what your google source said well before rushing off to comment.

Desperation to defend this drunk interpretation from an even drunker book can only make you look daft..

bjbukzy:

you are reading the first paragraph which i am sure you dont understand. how does GW come into been! i am not here to defend a book that has already defended itself.
show me proof of known scientist claiming the science in Quran is wrong and not dumbass claiming ITK like you

Hahahahaha i am closing my face in shame for you bro i wish you knew what you are talking about.

A look at the screenshot makes me pity how desperate you are...

I was hoping for someone to come up with instances were Gravitational waves are same as Celestial Orbits and i am given this?

Someone tell me this is a joke

"Let me repeat myself and hope you learn this time.. Gravitational waves are not same as orbits.. Gravitational waves acts more like conventional waves try dropping a stone in water to get the idea but this time the fabrics of space/time is the medium..."

You see it is a pity that you are desperately defending some shitty Quran that doesn't know the earth is round by even more so ridiculing yourself.

And for scientists who regard the Quran as a piece of Crap i can get you tons of that.. Hawkins, Dawkins, Neil Degrasse Tyson..

I do not need scientists or anyone else to tell me a book with flying horses, muddy pool habitat for the sun, didn't know the earth has orbit around the sun but thought otherwise, thinks some middle aged sun baked lunatic pervert illiterate arab man split the moon is a huge piece of nonsense.

In fact for such a book to have produced one with basic scientific epilepsy as yours shows such a load bullocks it is..

You can get as much pissed as you want doesn't change the fact that the Quran is one hell of a retarding drunk book and can only turn 21st century beings into mindless simpletons.

Now run along and read or better still go engage your likes. .

bjbukzy:

well where in the quran was it stated that the sun revolves around the earth? or the earth is flat?
all this were greek fallacies.

well why are the planets not falling from their orbits?
for ur info, this gravitational wave is created by the speed with which this planets are moving, it is the force of this waves that keeps these planets in their orbit.

Penisinpenisout:
So you had to wait until science verified the existence of gravitational wave before posting this thread
Which means you rely on science for an adequate interpretation of the koran
You value science more than your koran. Thats a good development.

johnydon22:

The verses the OP presented above were enough to see how the Quran was dishing out Orbits for the moon and Sun in relation to earth without mentioning Earth in fact orbited the sun... Its quite clear it thought the moon and sun has orbit around the earth and even proposed they never catch up.


"And Allah has made the earth for you as a carpet (spread out)." The Holy
Qur'an, Chapter 71, Verse 19

No not only greek fallacies apparently and for your information Hellinistic greek Philosophers Plato etc hypothesized that the earth was Round..


[b]What in the world is wrong with Nigerian students..

For goodness sake i thought i explained to you orbital distortion and gravitational waves.

"Orbits are as a result of space/time distortion by a body of mass in a curvature of space/time around a body of greater mass."

That is why it never falls off.

"Gravitational waves are outward ripples of in space/time curvature travelling at the speed of light outwards from the source Just like a normal water wave"

Just throw a stone inside a bucket of water to see what a wave.

And secondly a wave cannot keep a body intact because a wave moves in rippled form through a medium.. Something basic as this you still can't grab.

Small experiment for you "Fill a bowl with water, Put a small float object on the water and then make waves appear in the water, you will observe how the floating object moves with the direction of the wave outward...

More proof that the Quran or any other religious book should be kept far away from the reach of your likes, it retards you outrightly.. [/b]

Brother, don't be downcast. It's dangerous trying to relate what's in the Quran with new scientific discoveries.
Science is still evolving and even though I have some reservations too about things like where the sun sets and the sun and moon not over passing their course, I have to admit that the true context of the verse may not be fully understood with the present knowledge available.
These are things to note: while the bible believe the world is flat and the heaven is just above the clouds as depicted in the towel of babel story, the Quran is way advanced in astronomy.
Definitely, with the limited knowledge of science over 1400 years ago, stating that the sun and moon have a definite path is impressive.
Also, stating that all affairs of the world rises to God daily in a distance of a thousand human years is another clear sign. In fact the one that made me take Islam serious. It was obviously talking about the speed of light. A concept not known till about a few century ago.
And the messages were carried to heaven by angels , and guess what angels are made from according to Islam? Light.
The guy quoting you is just downloading what he feels he understand about the gravitational wave from the Internet and interprets it the way he understands it.
One sure thing is that the earth, moon and sun all rotate even within their orbit and it's not just in a straight smooth path, but in a pattern that feels like a floating object on ocean water in a wavy pattern.
The book definitely speaks about things that is only being understood by man and while the eclipse may seem to discredit the assertion that the day and night don't meet, the sun definitely rotates in its own orbit and the earth rotate within the sun's orbit and the moon within earth's orbit and they are fixed in their path for eternity.
What constitutes day and true night is the subject for another day and with more research, science may still give new insight to it.
In any way, the true meaning may also be lost on interpretation as only the closest possible English translation is used and does not give the exact meaning as it's stated in the beginning of the English version of the Quran.

What constitutes day and true night is a subject for another day and with more research, science may still give new insight to it. Even with eclipse, there is only total eclipse for some minutes at best over some few areas and the day time as we know it in every location can never become night and night time become day. That would mean the earth rotates backwards.
In any way, the true meaning may also be lost on interpretation as only the closest possible English translation is used and does not give the exact meaning as it's stated in the beginning of the English version of the Quran.

dolphinheart:


lying will not help you or exonerate the op from his shameless attempt at finding similarities between science and the Korra. neither will the attempt to draw the bible into the discussion change peoples view on the op's blunder.

gbadexy:

Whatever rocks your boat sire.
God was apprehensive the people building the babel tower were going to reach heaven and He caused confusion amongst them by causing them to speak in different languages.
It's a fact in the bible.

So I wonder where you got the lie from.

You scared people would read and be objective and mischievously tried to cast aspersions on my credibility.

Galileo had to run for his life from being burn at stake for heresy for saying the earth was spherical.

I do read you know. I just don't dish out fables to justify my position.
