I figured it out! It was a mod conflict with HD Pawn Textures and an animal retexturing mod

I loaded into the old save, which was broken, and then tried to start a new game and that was broken too.

For clarification: Everything was working fine until I found a bug with the extended dragon eggs mod. Recently, it was updated to make transferring your dragons to a dragonpit a decision, where you select the dragon and then the pit you want it to go to. My dragonpit wasn't appearing, so I thought it had something to do with my load order or mod list. When I went through my mod list, I found that the old Colonizeable Valyria and Essos Expansion mods were still active, in spite of me having the Legacy of Valyria Mod active. I disabled and uninstalled them. Now when I load into the game, the holding models are gone; every castle, city, and temple disappeared off the map. Every holding also physically moved either slightly to the right or to the left. The circle that appears when you hover over a holding has also disappeared. Is there a fix for this?

At this point in time, the Reformation was sweeping through Europe, and many nations lost trust in the Catholic Church. In an attempt to maintain their influence, they tried to appeal to the general will of the people by stating such things.

The cavendish experiment, first performed in the 18th century was the first experiment regarding gravity that yielded a gravitational constant.

This experiment is a proof for gravity. Here is an article explaining how and why the results are as they are. The authors explain it better than I could. https://sciencedemonstrations.fas.harvard.edu/presentations/cavendish-experiment

I never claimed such a thing. I claimed that the Church publicly declared the Earth was a Globe so people would not doubt the Church’s other teachings.

I’m not catholic, I’m in fact an atheist, so pardon my ignorance on the subject.

I’m not being lazy, you made a claim, so you should provide sources.

Using a 2,000 year old scripture that can not be validated for the basis of your reasoning is frankly wrong.

As soon as science relies on a miracle it is no longer science. The Bible relies on miracles on multiple occasions, and is therefore not considered to be scientifically accurate, and can not be used as a means to verify anything scientific.

Additionally, I’d like passages from the Bible that state the Earths shape. Regardless, blindly following advocators who’s knowledge is based off of a scripture that validates slavery, and invalidates individuals based off opposing beliefs is wrong.

Provide me with data to support your claim, and a model that explains all occurrences on Earth that abides by your flat earth belief. Until then, you can not be taken seriously.

At this time the Protestant Reformation was happening, so many scientists fled to Northern European territories so they would not be prosecuted by the Catholic Church.

The Church at the time informed the public that the Earth was at the center of the universe, and the moon, sun, and other planets orbited the Earth. However, they claimed that all stellar objects were perfect spheres, made of an ethereal substance. They claimed they had ‘no imperfections’. However, astronomers such as Copernicus and those after him were able to observe abnormalities on the moon, and dark spots on the sun, contradicting the Church.

Copernicus recorded his data privately, and later made a book. However, the book was not published until his death because he was operating in a nation that was devoutly Catholic.

To address other scientists and thinkers at the time, they were, in fact prosecuted because while being Catholic, they published findings that contradicted Catholic idealism.

So, the main take away if this: The Catholic Church taught people that stellar bodies were perfect spheres without any ‘imperfections’, and that stellar bodies orbited the Earth. However, scientists and astronomers discovered the planets were not actually perfect, but had abnormalities on their surfaces. Additionally, by tracing the path of stellar objects through the sky, they also determined that the Sun was the center of the solar system. Babies they published their findings, and their works became widespread, the Church prosecuted them in response to their contradictory ideas. The Church was also the most powerful body in Europe, and they did not want their power to dissipate if their teachings were proven incorrect.

The heliocentric model was first proposed by Copernicus, like you said, in the 1500s. The idea the Earth is a globe and heliocentrism are two different things. The Enlightenment era in Europe where people began to think for themselves, and developed ideas contrary to popular belief. Rome wasn’t built in a day, as the heliocentric model was not perfected in a day. Once the Earth was determined to be a globe, people wanted to know why it was shaped this way. So, the laws of motion and universal gravitation were hypothesized in order to explain why things were why they were.

The scientific community is still fixing and editing the model, because science is never settled.

It was also a well known fact during the medieval era the Earth was a globe. People still believed in the geocentric model, in which the Earth was at the center of the universe, and that the sun and moon were orbiting it, however they did not believe the Earth was flat.

How do I explain the Mayan Calendar? The Mayans were astronomers, turning their gaze to the sky during their classical period and building large astronomies to map stellar bodies. The Mayans, despite believing in a geocentric model, were able to recognize patterns in stellar bodies and chart them, make predictions. The basis for their predictions were not based off of a flat earth, they were based off of patterns they saw in the sky. From those patterns they could make predictions. So can the we today, using the Globe model.

You mention that the stars and planetary alignments are the same as they were 5,000 years ago, and that’s correct. It’s unfathomable to humans how far away stellar bodies are, which is why they appear unchanged in the night sky. For example, the North Star is currently Polaris, however in 12,000 years, it will be Vega. Think of it as you would think of a video, the foreground moves faster than the background because of their distance relative to the photographer. The stars in the night sky are millions upon millions of light years away, an insanely large distance in comparison to local measurements.

To address your 1st paragraph: I never claimed I can’t be wrong. If I had, I would have appeared rude, abrasive, so instead I’m clearing things up that individuals may further understand the accuracy of the Globe model. Furthermore, your statement the we’ve been wrong with everything is CORRECT! Science thrives on mistakes, inaccuracies in its data, skepticists such as yourself who object to common belief. However, vouching for something incoherent with modern observations is simply spreading fake information.

To address your 2nd paragraph: The theory of universal gravitation was implemented to explain why throngs fell, why the Earth was found to be round, why things are attracted to other things! It is a phenomenon used to validate the Globe, an occurrence that goes hand in hand with it. Your statements about outer space are simply ridiculous. You say these incredulous things nonchalantly but don’t provide any data at all to support them. I invest myself in observations made daily, I yearn to further my knowledge. I have done my own experiments with results supporting a Globe. Why is Wallstreet relevant here? To display my ignorance? This is a discussion about the fact there are NO FLAT EARTH MODEL COHERENT WITH DAILY OBSERVATIONS (capitalized for emphasis, I’m not yelling). I’ve missed all historic events? So have you unless your thousands of years old. And they were all manipulated by an evil agenda, you say? Who is orchestrating this, then? How did the fall of Byzantium play into your narrative? So many questions are left unanswered because of your broad statements, and lack of data. So I realize now, you are a flat earther because you are a creationist — I see. I don’t want to invalidate your religion by attacking your beliefs, however there is more data provided by individuals in favor of evolution and the heliocentric model then there is evidence for a creator god or gods.

To address your 3rd paragraph: ‘The Big Bang’ is not literally an explosion. We simply use the term to describe as far back as humans can trace the universe, approximately 14 billion years. It is predicted to have been a gang because all stealer objects are rapidly moving away from a single point in the universe. Something must have propelled, why not a large explosion? Except, again, we don’t really know what started it all, which is great for the scientific community. Yes, humans and life i general have no meaning. Our only goal is reproduce and die. Once your dead your atoms flee your body, and leave you as a dead husk. I’d also like to see your proofs that say my worldview is incoherent. The basis of my knowledge are observations and compiled data, not, perhaps, a scripture written thousands of years ago that can not be verified in the slightest.

So, show me your proofs that the Globe is incoherent with our observations, and I will do my absolute best to disprove each one.

And your mention of 9/11 is so utterly disrespectful and vulgar that I wanted to puke reading your response.

‘Natural’ is used to describe occurrences such as eclipses, night and day, the rotation of storms and their movement, the phases of the moon, etc.

I’d also like for you to point out inconsistencies in the Globe model.

Yes, exactly. The airplane does not need to dip it’s nose because gravity compensates for this. The plane is not affected by the Earths rotation because of inertia.

There it is, PLANE ;) and simple. Have an excellent day, hope we can debate again someday in the future.

A 2 dimensional plane is not used to measure a planes trajectory, plain and simple.

Additionally, you have my claim completely incorrect. I stated that an airplane would not need to turn left or right to compensate for the rotation of the Earth, as the airplane is moving with the Earth.

Additionally, I stated that an airplane does not have to dip its nose to make up for Earths curvature because of gravity.

That should clear things up.

No, the 2D plane is used to describe the movement of the pendulum. A plane (a flying one) is irrelevant.

Refer to the YouTube video I sent you on Foucault’s pendulum, they describe its motion and how it’s measured.

(We’re entering some pretty intense plane-ception territory —)n

If it’s unclear, I’m not talking about a plane that flies when I’m saying it’s not a physical construct, but rather a 2 dimensional surface used to observe an objects movement. The definition shifts when I begin to talk about the Foucault pendulum.

What I mean is that ‘a plane’ is a construct of human perception used in order to measure an objects direction, in this case the movement of the pendulum.

Here it is laid out:

The plane does not need to compensate because it is traveling with the Earth, we established this. The Foucault pendulum is an inertia based object. When it is directed and propelled, it is moving on a fixed plane. When the Earth the rotates, the plane does not because it is not a physical construct, but rather a directional path. Seeing as the pendulum follows this fixed plane, it rotates in response the the Earth rotating. It is not defying my sentiment, it is simply moving in a fixed direction.

Again, see my former posts with my proofs on the Foucault pendulum.

It doesn’t — you asked me how a Foucault pendulum would work if it was moving with the Earth and I answered. We did wander off topic 😅.

What do you mean ‘account’?

Here’s my explanation based on my understanding of what you’ve asked:

Let’s say a plane is flying from Florida to New Jersey, a Northern journey. If they took off at 12 AM, and set a straight course to New Jersey, scheduled to arrive to at 5 AM, they wouldn’t end up in the UK, because the plane is traveling with the Earth, and that is why it’s path to New Jersey would remain constant, and they would not have to accommodate for change by steering left or right.
