And most people still believe they live on a flying speck of dust....Lost in Space!wink.png

We do.

Lost in space was a good show. They did a modern remake. It was ah... ight.

I loved Lost in Space as a kid.

no it’s mad insane

…that ain’t no joke, but mad unbelievably confusing

and 97% of that 7% believe this is the origin of the phrase "how now brown cow?"

Or looking at it another way, 100% of the 97% of the 7% believe it.

lmao nah yo… there’s no 97% of 7%.. 😂 it’s 93% aren’t part OF that wtf 7%

Avatar of TheBestBeer_Root

Lol Idil with his 97% I don’t know how that other 4 was added there, lol el brown cow?

Lost in Space is exactly what "they" want you to believe. 

Then the Lost ones must then turn to those they deem more intelligent to tell them just how Lost they arewink.png

😂 what, like LAND OF THE LOST? lol and those screech’n big bugeyed creatures that whistle while they work? lmao grab’n stones to their collection? 😝

Avatar of TheBestBeer_Root

lol both were yeah fun to watch

Avatar of DreamscapeHorizons

Land of the lost would make a great movie. They should consider making one based on that series. 

Avatar of TheBestBeer_Root

Lol no doubt 😂

I use to watch land of the lost.  Those Sleestak were Kool!

ahh_fiddlefaddle - interesting. One gets the same with a Nikon P1000 until the processed image i.e. enhanced using some sort of computer software. I certainly do not think Saturn is 1 billion miles away either. Thanks!

You do understand that you can't stop people seeing what they see through telescopes?

The only scientific theory that correctly predicts the motion of every body in the Solar System is the theory of gravity with the known scales. You are not in a valid position to dispute it until you have an alternative explanation that works as well. 

That's how science works

Something of which you are oblivious, having had a failed education (or wiped your brain later by some sort of destructive choices?)

Elroch - Once again, I have asked you this several times and have yet to receive any response. 

Do you really believe the constellations were NOT mapped out and accurate cosmological predictions made long before Newton came along with "his" theory of gravity as well as Long before Copernicus Imagined a heliocentric system? 

The only thing I did was question my so-called education i.e. was I taught facts or was I taught theories masquerading as facts by those who believed them to be facts? 

When it comes to my astronomy professors, they certainly believed in a spinning ball earth etc.

Can heliocentrism be proven via the scientific method? 

The answer is NO!

Therefore, by the strict definition of science itself, it remains a belief! 

Heliocentrism is NOT observed.

No one on the face of the earth observes a rotating earth, nor a rotating moon, nor a sun 400 times larger than the moon, nor stars light years away etc. etc. etc. All of these reside within the Imagination.

This is actually partly good thinking. Knowledge of the skies was one thing that led the smartest ancients to the conclusion that the Earth was round. The skies viewed from the entire globe is one thing firmly confirming what we know - no flat earther can explain the southern skies.

But you don't mean "accurate cosmological predictions". What you mean is "accurate predictions of the motion of the planets". Certainly, there were convoluted ways to predict their movements with fairly good accuracy (nothing like that achieved by Newton), but with more precise observations it was found that even more arbitrary and complex methods were needed. 

When Newton arrived at his theory of gravity, this was much simpler, much more precise and accurate, and enormously less arbitrary. One simple equation rather than a separate complex fudge for every individual planet. That's very good science!

[While Newton's single equation eventually needed updating for the single case of the motion of Mercury over centuries, this is at a level of precision enormously beyond that of the ancients, with no telescopes and no clocks! Note that, remarkably, the entire theory of General Relativity - which suffices for all observations humans are capable of making - can be expressed in a single, rather simple equation]

Sorry to be blunt but all of your views are the result of inadequate competence. That of your youtube crazies, and yours.
