Introduction

Dear Visitors,                                                                                                                                    April 21, 2017

Thank you for stopping at FlatEarthLunacy.com

As a scientist with college degree in Astronomy, minor in Physics and Mathematics, I was appalled to find folks telling outright falsities and presenting bad science to bolster suspicion of our known accepted reality - that the Earth is a beautiful blue globe.

This blog clearly shows scientific proofs that debunk everything that flat Earth proponents claim.  Here we also expose the comments those YouTube video channels delete, because they don't want you to see them.

The Earth is not flat.  That claim is a conspiracy theory perpetrated by ignorant people who have ulterior personal motives and agendas.

The Earth is a beautiful blue spheroid globe spinning on an axis 23.5° once each day, and orbiting the Sun every 365.25 days.

Brian Mullin - Fire and Ice Theory (FIT) - Part 1


Dear Brian Mullin,

Fact check = You FAIL
Your statement at time mark 2:10, "Moon light has a cooling effect on the Earth."

... is 100% wrong

No flat Earth proponent has ever proved your assertion (although they mistakenly think they have) while using cheap and very inaccurate infrared thermometers.

All have measured the "atmospheric air temperature" exposed to moonlight, and then to shadow - but that is not a measurement of moonlight temperature itself.

Take any light source.
Turn it on and the atmospheric air molecules exposed to it will heat up. Turn it off and the atmospheric air molecules will once again cool down.

To understand the TRUE TEMPERATURE of Moon light, its necessary to measure its intrinsic "luminosity".

In astronomy, LUMINOSITY is the total amount of energy emitted (or reflected as in the case of the Moon) by a star, galaxy, or other astronomical object per unit time. It is related to the brightness, which is the luminosity of an object in a given spectral region.

Picture 1 below clearly shows that the luminosity of the MOON is 1/100th THAT OF A CANDLE as measured at a distance of 1 meter.

Although the full Moon is much brighter in the sky than stars...

The full moon has a magnitude of -12.6 while the brightness of the sun is about -26.7

... all light (including that of the Moon) has a heating effect, not a cooling effect.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Fact check = You FAIL
Your "Fire and Ice Theory" is off the charts. It does not describe reality. It is wrong.

The Earth's atmosphere and surrounding space is, as it is.
Not as you want it to be.

You do not understand the difference between Heat and Temperature. They are two different things...

Heat vs. Temperature

1. Heat and temperature are not the same thing.

2. Heat energy is the total kinetic energy of the atoms of a substance.

3. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the atoms of a substance.

4. Each atom has a certain amount of kinetic energy. This energy fluctuates due to the many collisions with other atoms. However, when two atoms collide transferring kinetic energy from one to the other, no kinetic energy is lost. If the amount of kinetic energy for each atom is added up then you would have a value representing the heat energy of that collection of atoms. It follows that the more atoms which are counted, the greater the heat energy will be.

5. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of those atoms. The result of this difference between heat and temperature causes the number of atoms measured to play a major role in understanding how much heat energy an object has at a particular temperature.

6. For example, if two glasses of water are left out on the table, one completely full and the other exactly half full, they will eventually both come to room temperature, about 21°C. They may have the same temperature, but the full glass has twice the heat energy of the half full glass. Because the full glass has twice as many molecules each carrying some heat energy (or kinetic energy) the full glass has more heat at the same temperature.

7. The higher the temperature the faster the atoms move.

8. Large objects can have a kinetic energy and temperature which are distinctly separate things. For example, a baseball sitting still has no kinetic energy, but its atoms are moving, so they have kinetic energy. Because the temperature of a substance is due to the average kinetic energy of its atoms, the ball does have a temperature. Depending on how many atoms it takes to make up the ball, it has a certain amount of heat energy (the total energy of the atoms comprising the ball).

9. Because temperature is a function of the average kinetic energy of the atoms, the lowest possible temperature would be when the atoms stop moving, therefore having no kinetic energy. Because there is a lowest possible temperature, it would make sense to use a temperature scale that starts at zero. This temperature scale is called the Kelvin temperature scale and zero Kelvin is a special temperature called absolute zero (when all atomic motion is stopped).

10. An atom, however, can't separate kinetic energy from heat energy. For atoms they are one and the same thing. A bunch of atoms sitting still have no kinetic energy, no heat energy, and would have zero temperature (on the Kelvin temperature scale).

11. In summary:
• For an atom Kinetic Energy = Heat Energy
• For a substance Heat Energy = Total of all the Kinetic Energies of its atoms
• For a substance Temperature = Average Kinetic energy of its atoms
