Narrator: Bob Knodel (of Globebusters) got his hands on a $20,000 gyroscope... Bob Knodel: If the Earth is spinning at one rotation every 24 hours, that means every hour it has to turn 15 degrees. In today's 21st century navigation systems they're using what's called a ring laser gyroscope...

As for the psychology of debunkers, I've mused upon that. From what I've seen, I think many, including myself, have Autistic traits. Highly analytical, concerned with fact over personal relationships. Obsessed with the truth. Untruth really bumps us. I call that Dr. Zhivago Syndrome. My...

Glitter trail on a wave. FE Believers cite glitter trails on the ocean as proof that the surface of the ocean is not curved. They insist (it's only common sense!) there can be no trail on a curved surface.

My old home town. I grew up there. That was long ago, though.

Your material is correct of course, but I think you should start on a more basic level. I've had some success explaining it this way: Two guys are facing each other with a rectangular board between them. The board is smooth and they have their hands flat on its surface. No one is pulling...

That very notion needs to be specifically addressed. Naive intuition says vacuum pulls. And it also follows that a big vacuum will pull harder than a small vacuum. After all, doesn't an ocean liner pull harder than a rowboat? Therefore the infinite vacuum of space would pull infinitely hard...

A fairytale to sort out the difference between heat and temperature; and equilibrium as well: Preface Heat = the total amount of water in the land Temperature = the amount of water in one elf-bucket The land of Thermosphere was vast but there was one city, the City of Satellite. The elves in...

Today was the day.

Well, I was close. But who would have guessed the nature of Project-X?

Interesting idea, but meth labs smell.

There are dozens of ground-based professional solar telescopes across the world plus innumerable amateurs. Not to mention the Solar Dynamics Observatory. The Dunn Solar Telescope has no unique abilities. Shutting it down would have no effect on what the world at large would know about some...

...your theories are unfalsifiable. If disconfirming evidence is presented it is dismissed as faked or otherwise rationalized away. The theory moves farther away from the credible without limit. It will be rationalized away. Some probable rationalizations: 1. Human error. This particular...

This implies that it's a group of people who are of interest to the FBI, not the entire staff and not the site as it exists now. But a solar telescope has no secret technology, neither can it gather any secret information. Perhaps the site was being used for something other than astronomy -...

In this article could you remove "Q" and insert "flat earth" and get the same picture about what these beliefs do to interpersonal relations. The conspiracy theory mindset is pretty consistent no matter what the subject of the belief system. You might be a conspiracy theorist if ... - your...

1. There's no evidence that Yalcin ever stood there. Descriptions of where he stood and Yalcin's own videos show that he habitually stood between the canopies next to the banister. 2. In the video in question, where is Jupiter? Jupiter was only a few degrees away from the Moon at that time...

What are you basing that on?

Are you estimating the lamppost's total height as 4 meters?

This video was taken after the area had been remodeled. The seaward wall, the wall with the mirror/window, the courtyard and the tree had all been completely removed by 2011.

The assailants flew two drones each packed with 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of C-4 plastic explosive toward Maduro, his wife and other top leaders as he spoke Saturday evening at an event celebrating the 81st anniversary of the National Guard, said Interior Minister Nestor Reverol. One of the drones...
