    The Moon Tilt & Terminator Illusions

    Yes, that's my position exactly. This whole thing is an opportunity to show what people, as a whole, are having trouble with. For example, people seemingly have a tremendous problem with Newton's three laws of motion. More effort has to be made to explain these things on an intuitive level...

    The Moon Tilt & Terminator Illusions

    I agree that the general public doesn't think about these things much. But when people are asked the question, for instance - "what causes the seasons?" - a large number will say that the sun is closer in summer. According to this...

    The Moon Tilt & Terminator Illusions

    Those who are having trouble with number one: When they look up at the sky they "see" a close sun. They actually make fun of ball earthers for not immediately seeing this reality. So they are seeing the earth-moon-sun system as an equilateral triangle. In other words the moon and sun are at...

    The Moon Tilt & Terminator Illusions

    There are two flavors to this FE problem with the moon terminator. 1. The terminator is supposed (by science) to be caused by the moon being half lit by the sun. 2. The terminator is supposed (by science) to be caused by the earth's shadow on the moon. Number two is the majority position. It...

    Claim: water in moonlight cools faster than water not in moonlight [False]

    The author of this video has propped a small magnifying glass up against a glass of water. Moonlight is supposedly concentrated on the water and is cooling it more rapidly than the water in the glass that doesn't have a magnifying glass propped against its surface. Problem: The magnifying...

    Claim: water in moonlight cools faster than water not in moonlight [False]

    As for the cooling effect of moonlight being intensified by optics... I've observed the moon through an 18 inch telescope. I don't remember my eye getting frostbite.

    Claim: water in moonlight cools faster than water not in moonlight [False]

    I've seen quite a few of these experiments. Putting a shade over one glass and leaving the other open to the sky is supposed to measure the cooling effect of moonlight. But there is a confound in the experiment. What you are really measuring is differences in temperature due to differing...

    Explaining the Ghost Boy in the Back Seat Photo with Occam's Razor

    This is not a human face. It's just a case of pareidolia. There's that gap in the "chin." And the "face" and the top of the "head" don't match. The top of the head is both offset and too big. My vote is for #3: There was no boy in the car, the image is of something else blowing around in...

    So I know this isn't actually Nibiru, but what actually is it? [Probably Mars]

    Yeah. They both went private shortly after my last post. But they are both back up again.

    Debunked: View of Blue Ridge Mountains impossible on spherical earth

    Another debunking video on this subject. This one was made by a geodetic surveyor. It's long and slow moving. Turn on 2x speed.

    So I know this isn't actually Nibiru, but what actually is it? [Probably Mars]

    There's a follow-up video: The author gives the time and date as 5:40 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 10. Once again we see a bright object in a cloudy sky just above the horizon. [0:43] That does not belong. Down over here [pans right] is to the southwest, more so than that, and that is where Venus...

    So I know this isn't actually Nibiru, but what actually is it? [Probably Mars]

    This channel has many previous Nibiru videos and my impression was of a community of commenters who were familiar with each other. I didn't see any attacks, but that was a couple of days ago. A mirrored version of this video has comments identifying the object as Mars. My guess is that the...

    So I know this isn't actually Nibiru, but what actually is it? [Probably Mars]

    There were comments. The comments section got shut down later. There were many of the usual comments: preparing for the imminent disaster, trying to convince relatives and lamenting their lack of success, picturing the elite already preparing their underground shelters while selfishly not...

    So I know this isn't actually Nibiru, but what actually is it? [Probably Mars]

    The author of the video was first using a camera with a 35x optical zoom. Later she shows us photos taken through her Vixen R130SF 130mm f/5.0 Newtonian Telescope:https://www.amazon.com/Vixen-2604-R130Sf-Telescope/dp/B001KW07Q4 This one is properly exposed and shows the typical color of Mars...

    So I know this isn't actually Nibiru, but what actually is it? [Probably Mars]

    The author of the video gives the time and place as 6:43 p.m., in Longview, Alberta Canada. She just says "Wednesday, November 2016" and that's a shame because Alberta just went through the time change. Internal evidence suggests it's Wed. Nov. 9, and fortunately she later shows the moon phase...

    Undersea Cables on a Flat Earth

    In a way it's an example of Greylandra's cable experiment, that would actually work. Instead of distance above the earth's surface, we're measuring the earth's surface with a cable of known length. It just needs a large enough distance to work.

    Undersea Cables on a Flat Earth

    On a flat earth the South Atlantic Express cable will be thousands of miles longer than it should be. That means even more people will be drawn into the ancient conspiracy to hide the true shape of the earth. It only serves to prove how powerful the conspiracy is.

    Debunked: Chemwebs / Mysterious Fibers fall from sky (ballooning spiders)

    In the glory days of UFOria it was called "Angel Hair." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_hair_(folklore) Unscientific explanations based on beliefs regarding Unidentified Flying Objects include: Ionized air may be sleeting off the electromagnetic field that surrounds a UFO.[9] Excess...

    Curious effect over commercial airplane wing. I suspect reflections from ice

    I agree that these points of light in the two arcs are in focus and not close to the camera. What strikes me is that we are seeing points of light with no motion blur. Let's say, for the sake of the argument, that these are ice crystals moving at a speed of 550 mph relative to the camera...
