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.

Antonio Subirats - Flat Earth: The Parallax Ladder - continues to hide real world parallax facts from his audience


Dear Antonio,

Repeating the no parallax myth over and over again does not make you right.   

We commented on your video about proven parallax measurements, and you deleted that comment.  Why?  Do you suffer from incredulity? 

Our comment…

+Antonio Subirats, get a real life bud...
The successful measurement of stellar parallax, due to the movement of the Earth in orbit around the Sun, proves that the Earth is moving thru space. 
In 1838 Friedrich Bessel successfully used the method of stellar parallax, the effect of Earth’s annual movement around the Sun, to calculate the distance to 61 Cygni, the first star other than the Sun to have its distance measured (long before the invention of computers). 
The parallax shift of about 2,500 stars have been successfully measured by telescopes on the Earth. 
The parallax shift of nearly 1-billion stars has been measure by the GAIA satellite, stationed at the L2 Lagrange point. kind regards

What is parallax?

... the effect whereby the position or direction of an object appears to differ when viewed from different positions.

Fact check:
Your statement, “Degrees are a way of disguising movement.  They express instances in time, frozen in time.”   Is BOLLOCKS.

A degree is a unit of measurement, 1/360 of a circle.

New Horizons is so Far From Earth That the Positions of the Stars Look a Little Different From its Perspective, by Matt Willimans at universetoday.com

Excerpt:

For example, we here on Earth are used to thinking that the positions of the stars are “fixed”. In a sense, they are, since their positions and motions are relatively uniform when seen from our perspective. But a recent experiment conducted by the New Horizons team shows how familiar stars like Proxima Centauri and Wolf 359 (two of the closest stars in our neighbors) look different when viewed from the edge of the Solar System.

Located in the constellation Leo, Wolf 359 is an M-type (red dwarf) star that is roughly 7.9 light-years from Earth. It can be found close to the same path the Sun follows through the sky (the ecliptic), but can only be seen with a telescope. And if you’re a Trekkie, you might recognize the name since it was where that major battle with the Borg took place (don’t act like you don’t know!)...

...

This technique involves measuring the relative positions of stars from two different locations to detect any possible shift with respect to more distant objects. For almost two centuries, astronomers have used this technique to measure the distance to nearby stars. Traditionally, astronomers have relied on Earth’s own orbital motion to determine these distances.

Since Earth’s orbit is about 300 million km (186 million mi) in diameter, its vantage point changes considerably in the course of a year. But with greater distances and Earth’s orbit as a “baseline”, astronomers can conduct greater parallax measurements. Given its current distance from Earth, the New Horizons mission team and NASA have decided to do this very thing, and invited the public to participate...

Stellar Parallax, by Bob the Science Guy

How do we find the distance to the stars? Parallax is a variation on triangulations. In addition to parallax, we employ the slide rule and introduce the small angle approximation.
