Chapter 139: Evidence ofary Rotation, I Certainly Have It!


    Amidst the countless gazes in the assembly, Lynn confidently stood up and walked towards the stage.


    "Professor, he should be able to handle it, right?" Elok murmured, looking concerned as the wizards from the School of Prophecy, appearing numerous and domineering, seemed intent on pressuring others.


    Phillip also had some concerns; he had initially wanted to apany Lynn, but Lynn had gestured for him to stay back.


    Ynde couldn''t contain his impatience upon seeing Lynn ascend the stage.


    "Mr. Lynn, I''ve read your theories. ording to your theory, all celestial bodies, including thend beneath our feet, revolve around the sun, correct?"


    "More precisely, it''s thes within this star system that revolve around the sun," Lynn corrected Ynde''s statement.


    Ynde didn''t pay much attention to this distinction but rather expressed his regret, "But I''ve noticed you seem to have overlooked a critical issue."


    "What issue?" Lynn asked, puzzled.


    "Since you mentioned in the ''Magic Daily'' that the time it takes for ournd to revolve around the sun is three hundred and sixty days, precisely one year, how do you exin the phenomenon of day and night? It can''t be that we only experience one day and night in a whole year, can it?" Ynde questioned.


    ording to the theory of prophecy, the sun''s rotation around thend caused the cycle of day and night due to its gravitational pull.


    Lynn found this quite amusing and exined, "It''s quite simple. That''s because our, in addition to orbiting the star, is continually rotating. This is what creates the alternating day and night that we observe."


    Lynn extended his hand, conjuring two different-sized water spheres in the air. The smaller one rotated around therger one while spinning, symbolizing oneplete cycle of day and night.


    "Rotation?" Ynde was momentarily surprised by Lynn''s unexpected exnation, but he soon chuckled.


    "I must say, your theory is intriguing. However, if, as you say, ournd is in constant motion, rotating around the sun and even moving with it, then why aren''t we flung away?" Ynde''s tone grew more intense, resonating throughout the hall.


    The wizards present were now engaged in heated discussions, and even those who had initially supported the idea of a rotating began to waver in the face of this sharp questioning.


    After all, Ynde''s argument was easy to imagine. For instance, cing a grain of rice on a sphere and rapidly spinning itthe grain of rice would inevitably be thrown off.


    Furthermore, theirnd was enormous, and any movement it made would generate tremendous forces. Even if they were lucky enough not to be thrown off, they would undoubtedly sense the movement.


    Phillip was anxiously fidgeting, resembling an ant on a hot pan. It was as if the person targeted on stage was himself.


    Lynn''s expression remained unchanged as he asked with a sly smile, "Have you ever ridden in a carriage, Mr. Ynde?"


    "Why are you asking about that?" Ynde hesitated.


    Lynn didn''t answer but turned to the wizards in the seminar. "I believe you all have also noticed that, during carriage rides, we only clearly feel our bodies swaying back and forth at the beginning and end of the journey. At other times, we mainly feel the bumps caused by the uneven road."


    "That''s because, while traveling, we are inside the carriage, moving along with it due to friction. Of course, because the carriage''s speed varies, it''s not very intuitive..." Lynn exined. He then turned to a few senior wizards. "I think this is something that Master Raphael and Master Ougust, who have ridden airships, might have a better understanding of."


    All eyes in the room immediately turned to Raphael and Ougust. After a brief contemtion, they both nodded in agreement.


    Unlike carriages, airships floatedpletely, and with the wind-blocking magic formation applied, their travel was incredibly smooth. They hardly felt any movement.


    "It''s the same for this!" Lynn continued. "As the free-fall experiment showed earlier, the resistance we feel is based on the elements. Under the influence of gravity, all elements and matter change position along with the''s rotation. That''s why we don''t perceive our own movement. If one day it suddenly stops rotating, we''d probably all be thrown off..."


    Lynn said in a teasing manner.


    "Nonsense!" Beside Ynde, a red-haired witch loudly rebuked, interrupting Lynn. "Lord Harof has been to the top of the world. If ournd were truly rotating, then over such a long time, Lord Harof would have long since been carried away by thend''s rotation to another ce."


    "The gravitational influence extends far and wide, madam, much more than you can imagine. Even if we were to ascend tens of thousands of meters into the sky, we still wouldn''t escape its control," Lynn stated casually, then looked at everyone, speaking loudly.


    "Just as we cannot perceive that the beneath our feet is round, the''s rotation speed is quite slow rtive to its massive size. We, minuscule as dust, are like ants burrowing in a hill. To it, this hill is the entire world."


    The discussions in the hall grew increasingly intense. Some people were very receptive to Lynn''s theory, as it provided a usible exnation for the cycle of day and night.


    However, many still held deep reservations. ording to Lynn, they don''t perceive their own motion because they move with the? It was just too absurd!


    Not at all magical!


    "Where''s the evidence? What do you have to prove that ournd is rotating? All of this is mere conjecture on your part!" Ynde scoffed sharply. "ording to your theory, when we sleep at night, we''re also hurtling along with thisnd..."


    "Then, when you''re in a carriage, do you move by yourself?" Lynn asked with a smile.


    "Of course..." Ynde hesitated for a moment. He had wanted to say that he didn''t move, but upon careful consideration, he realized that he did indeed move with the carriage.


    This conflicting sensation left Ynde, who didn''t know what a reference frame was, perplexed. In the end, he could only conclude that he didn''t move and that the carriage carried him.


    However, this conclusion inadvertently supported Lynn''s theory ofary rotation. Ynde wrestled with this for a while before finally remaining silent.


    "As for evidence ofary rotation, I certainly have it!" Lynn paid no mind to Ynde''s inner turmoil and turned to the members of the Iyeta School, saying, "Jonny, Elok, and Pearce, bring everything you''ve prepared!"
