The Sun that Never Sets
The Sun and its “Dark Companion”
So we now Understand how it is that the Sun is always in the Sky, but how it Night possible in this Model? Also how do we explain the Motion of the Sun if it is not caused by a Motion we make?
My solution to these Questions is to introduce the Idea of a Dark Star (or “Dark Companion” as I prefer to call it) and in essence make our Sun a Binary Star. The Dark Companion can be many things, a Star that for some reason does not produce light, a large and massive planet, or a stellar remnant such as a Neutron Star or even a Black Hole. This object is very massive, but less so than the Sun. Also there is no direct way to see this object; I infer its presence through the Movement of the Sun.
We often say that our planet orbits the Sun, but technically this is not true. We orbit the Center of Mass of our solar system, which is the point where all the mass of the system is symmetrical. Thus the Center of Mass is just a point in space, and need not correlate to any Object in particular. Since the Sun is so massive it is the closest object to this Center of Mass, but I propose that the Dark Companion is Massive enough, and close enough to the Sun to cause the Center of Mass to be a point outside the Sun’s surface. Since the Sun itself feels the pull of Gravity, it too must Orbit this Center of Mass, thus the Sun moves. Its orbit is determined by how far away from the Center of Mass it is, and so for the Sun to been seen to Move from our Planet it must be a fair distance from this point.
Now to explain night, we just have to realize that Night is the Absence of the Sun. Thus Night could well be caused by an Eclipse of the Sun, caused by the Dark Companion. Depending on the apparent sizes of the Sun and its Companion, as well as the Speed of the Companion, this Eclipse could last a few Minuets to a fair few hours. The Eclipse would be rare, but would occur a few times a Year.
This of course is based on the Assumption that Night used to occur on a regular basis on Magic Duel, though that is no Longer the case. Still there is evidence that Night did come regularly once, though not often.
A Perception of Relativity.
I have looked into this and as far as I can tell it is a matter of perception. The sun appears to move little or not at all on account of that our axial rotation nearly matches our circumfrencial rotation. This gives the appearance that it is moving little or not at all. Image if I was to strafingly run around you. I would always be facing you making it appear that neither of us have really moved at all or at least not very much.
The moons fair presence is equally explainable in this fashion. If a center object is causing a nearby object spin around the central object than the affected object will move the same speed, but over a longer distance there by making it appear to move slower. Take for instance a whirlpool. The inside and outside move nearly the same speed. The inside though is moving in such a small area that it makes a full circle in what appears to be less time. This of coarse differs based on what the object is. A tire, being a solid object is going to force the outer edge to match the rotation there-by increasing its speed. Versus the whirlpool whose inside speed and outside speed are more closely matched because that what ties them together is more flexable in its own nature.
So in all. We rotate the sun in a manner that we are always facing it, while the moon moving only slightly slower than us appears to have gone away, but is simply on our darkside slowly making its way back around to us in time.
