      Yeah despite his belief, he was still a husband and father (I believe) and probably a good friend to many. Just because he was lost in one relatively small aspect of life doesn’t justify legit hate or anything towards the guy. Plenty of disagreements and attempts to teach, but in the end that doesn’t truly define him.

    "They're all CGI images"
    As an undergraduate, I took hundreds of images of a variety of nebulae using a 36 inch reflector for a final year project. Those images were taken on glass photographic plates (this was long before CCD technology) and those are still in the university archive. Prints were made and were widely available. I still have most of them.
    Two questions for Santos:
    1) How do you use digital CGI technology on an analogue photographic plate?, and
    2) How do you do it 20 years before CGI was invented?
    £10000 for a plausible reply.

I'm happy to invite anyone, even flerfers, to come spend a night imaging with me. They can look at the raw images and see for themselves...no CGI. :)

The speed at which time passes is related to how fast you're moving through space; Unless you leave Earth & move at a different speed, you are stuck at moving through time at 60 seconds per minute.

    A little fun trivia about the sun and Earth's rotation: If you hold out your arm at full length, and bend your hand palm facing you so that your fingers are flush together and parallel with the horizon (or perpendicular to direction of gravity, as it were), each finger marks about 15 minutes of travel for the sun across the sky.
    So, 4 fingers is an hour, and as you count fingers stacked from horizon to the sun, you can estimate remaining daylight pretty dang well. It's a very, very, very old life hack. I learned it when taking a land navigation course, and it's pretty spot-on. Due to human anatomy/geometry, it doesn't matter much how long your arms are, or the size of your hands, as long as you are reasonably proportionate, the angles scale with each person.
    I figure I'd share something related to the rotation of the Earth that isn't a bunch of Flat Earth non-sense. Enjoy!

    TEN Rules of flerfing :
    1) Strawman the globe model in a desperate bid to manufacture a "gotcha".
    2) NEVER, under any circumstances, talk about your positive claim that the earth is FLAT.
    3) If pushed to do the above, pretend that you "claim nothing".
    4) Learn to articulate the sounds “nu” and “huh” together in quick succession and use it whenever you need to deny reality (i.e, often).
    5) Pre-emptively reject the answers to every question you ask.
    6) Cherry pick parts of quotes that you think might help you, whilst pretending the rest never happened.
    7) Perform a ‘flerf reset’ every morning, conveniently forgetting everything that was said to you the previous day.
    8) Ignore the fact that, despite more than 10 years of social media flerfing, flat earth has advanced about as far as an asthmatic Ant with particularly heavy shopping.
    9) Lie.
    10) Lie more.

      One of the things I learned in kindergarten was how to count to 100. If someone had told me the Earth was spinning at 1,350 mph I would have had no idea what they meant. Such a large number would be beyond my grasp, I would not have known how long a mile was, and I would be vague about the length of an hour. I probably would have understood the Earth was a spinning ball, but (like flat Earthers) I would have asked why we don't fall off it, since I wouldn't have known anything about gravity.

Also the people who led him astray are not “lying” since they truly believe what they are saying. Saying something that you believe to be true is not lying. By the way, flat earthers do not believe what they believe because they have been led astray or lied to but rather they have a psychological makeup which compels them to need to belief incredible things which are in direct conflict with what is accepted scientific fact. If they did not have the flat earth thing they would latch onto some other crackpot belief - such as being a holocaust denier. It’s a problem of irrationality and not one of a lack of intellect. In fact some of these people even have reasonably high IQ’s but even very intelligent people will say and do stupid things when they are highly irrational. Of course the people wasting their time arguing against these types have issues of their own. After all, an intelligent and fully rational person is not going to feel the need to enter into a debate with someone who insist that the tooth fairy is real. When someone says something that clearly ridiculous you just humor him and then go about your business. You don’t argue the point.

      You don't even need a powerful telescope to see the nebulas that Santos claims are CGI. A 300 - 400 dollar quality amateur telescope is all you need. Yes they will not look as spectacular as images made with giant professional telescopes (for obvious reasons), but you can take great images yourself these days if you learn astrophotography. And if Santos doesnt trust digital cameras he can use regular analogue film cameras too avoid any possible NASA skullduggery.

    I love how Santos uses Mach (The ratio of the speed of a moving body to the speed of sound) to discuss the speed of objects travelling through the vacuum of space. It is an utterly meaningless concept. If you alter the composition of the medium that sound is radiating through, its speed (and thus its ratio - the Mach number) will also change. For example, sound will travel through nickel about one and a half times faster than it would through brass, and as the speed of sound traveling through the vacuum of space is zero, so too is its Mach number.

    • @martinconnelly1473
      @martinconnelly1473 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I spent some time in a calibration lab checking the calibration of aircraft machmeters. We did it with the meter mounted in a vacuum chamber with an external tube supplying simulated pitot probe air pressure. We sucked air out of the vacuum chamber following a chart that gave standard air pressure at various heights. At each specified height we set the pitot pressure to various values to simulate speed through the air at that altitude. It sounds quite complicated but is pretty routine. The reason for doing this was that the speed of sound in the atmosphere changes (slows) with increasing altitude so a standard air speed indicator does not have mach numbers on its dial. If you look at published maximum speeds for aircraft that can exceed the speed of sound it usually includes the fact that the quoted mach numbers are at sea level. Go high enough in the atmosphere and walking pace would be greater than mach 1 (can't think how you would prove this for real though).

    Well, to nitpick a little:
    1. There are four “fundamental” states of matter (solid, liquid, gas and plasma) only if you don’t count the Bose-Einstein condensate. Not to mention other “low temperature” states, e.g. superfluid. the “non-classical” states, e.g. magnetically ordered, “high energy” states, e.g. degenerate matter, and other proposed states, e.g. superfluid.
    2. Yes, in a very broad sense the Big Bang Theory is stating that we are moving at high speed if you consider the rotation of the Earth itself (with the rotational velocity, the rotation of the Earth around the sun, the rotation of the sun around the center of the Milky Way and the movement of the Milky Way itself. But you don’t need the Big Bang Theory to make this statement.
    3. To give Santos some credit, he explicitly mentions the speed in mph at the equator. Seemingly even a flat earther can grasp the concept of constant RPM and different speeds on the surface of the rotating body. May it be the Earth or a CD or vinyl record.

      You're saying quite essential things there mate.
      I remember when I went to school I had this exact "conflict" with myself but even though I thought "well, gotta learn something" and while maturing I got the idea of not just "learning" stuff but getting behind it. I think there is a big difference and that 'abstract' difference is, what flat earthers or "sceptics" often criticize. They often talk about "textbook education" and play down education in general while claiming to "get behind things" yet unfortunately for them the "getting behind" part is substantially dependant on "learning" things in the first place.
      I often told FAs that being principled isn't a bad thing but if they criticize the principles of others they should acknowledge their own and stop pressing double standards because that is exactly what they themselves don't want to be treated like.
      Usually when I participate in a debate about things like flat earth I compare this to "making mistakes and learning from them", because it is the exact same process. You can't disprove the basics if you can't get behind it so it's quite necessary to at least understand the basic concept. With that said I don't categorize flat earthers in such a debate principally, I try to get behind their understanding of the world. To be on even grounds I ofc expect them to do the same, otherwise the dialogue is a big waste of time for both parties.
      Most discussions I had regarding this topic were pretty civil while I always tried to get behind their intentions and - well - sometimes forced myself into the mind of someone with a different perception. Most of these people have abstract and irrational fears, some just feel some sort of disconnection, some have feelings of disgust towards science and many of those might have different reasons - wether they are personal, ideological or based on experience.
      Why do I explain that?
      I brought some very interesting perspectives into the lives of others just by being respectful, trying to share their scepticism and trying to even the grounds we're standing on when it comes to that discussion and ultimately I had some of those people acknowledging a globe earth as the only "naturally possible" shape of the earth. I do agree with them that there might be numerous things we as "mere mortals" are not 'obligated' to know but this shouldn't be the reason we stop learning and getting behind things - including the perspective of others - as absurd and clueless it might seem.

      When they engage in an argument I feel it's never really about trying to prove their theories or disproof the scientific theory - it's really about proving that the scientists are evil, that they're willingly and knowingly lying to you; or that they're controlled by a bigger force.
