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.

Owen Benjamin - YouTube stupid NO moon landing and flat Earth conspiratard. Lunar tidal locking also explained.


Dear Owen Benjamin,

It's unfortunate that your lack of science understanding and susceptibility to conspiracy theories has led you down this wrong path.  The Earth is a beautiful blue globe spinning on axis once per day, and in revolution around the Sun. 

And yes, human's did walk on the Moon.

Fact check = Your assertion that mankind never went to the moon is 100% false.

Owen Benjamin said...
"So basically 60 years ago we had it fine, it was all good.  But now these are major challenges they have to accomplish.  And for those of you that were arguing with me about heat and temperature, that reentry, he said (in the NASA Orion program video) that it’s a molten lava like; 4,000 degrees of molten lava.  So I don’t know if you still want to argue with me about that but aluminum would melt…"

Owen ignored the fact that there is a heat shield.

Owen Benjamin said...
"The whole parachute situation, it’s like the size of a football field, never supposed to go woah no way, they didn’t have that during the moon landing at all, but they all survived somehow…"

FACT Check = YOU FAIL.

Owen Benjamin said…
“And then the Van Allen radiation belts.  They’re like these are some of the greatest struggles and challenges.  Well I though you said that 60 years ago and that…”


Bob the Science Guy responded…
“We did.  You kind of haul ass through them, that’s the big thing that you have.  Plus the radiation that’s in the Van Allen belts can be shielded against with lightweight materials.  They discovered that in project Gemini before Apollo.  So this isn’t anything new….”


And the trajectory that Apollo took to the moon avoided the main high radiation zones of the Van Allen belts.

Note: For those flat Earth folks that still insist it is not possible to get past the Van Allen radiation belts, look at this research paper...

A bit of old (2018) lunar news, but so what...

China just bounced a laser off reflectors on the Moon placed by NASA's Apollo 15 mission, by Andrew Jones (January 24, 2018) of the gbtimes

(https://gbtimes.com/china-just-bounced-a-laser-off-reflectors-on-the-moon-placed-by-nasas-apollo-15-mission)


Excerpt:

China has successfully used a 1.2-metre telescope laser ranging system to bounce light off a retroreflector placed on the Moon during NASA's Apollo 15 crewed lunar mission.

The Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) experiment, a national first, was carried out by the applied astronomy group from the Yunnan Observatories, operating under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

LLR is used to achieve the highest accuracy measurements of the distance between the Earth and the Moon. Before now, only the US, France and Italy had successfully deployed LLR technology.

According to the group, the distance between the retroreflector in the Hadley–Apennine region of the near side of the Moon and the Yunnan Observatory was 385,823.433 km to 387,119.600 km from 9:25 pm to 10:31 pm Beijing Time on January 22.

The Apollo 15 Lunar Laser Ranging RetroReflector (LRRR) array is the largest of four such working arrays on the surface of the Moon, according to NASA, with a size of 105 x 65 cm. The other active LRRRs are at the Apollo 11 and Apollo 14 landing sites, and on the Soviet Union's Lunokhod 2 rover.

The hardware from Apollo 15 was placed on the Moon by astronaut David Scott on July 31, 1971.

How To Prepare for Flat Earth Conference Coming to North Texas in November, by the Dallas Observer
https://www.dallasobserver.com/arts/how-to-argue-with-a-flat-earther-ahead-of-the-dallas-convention-11689582

2019-06-27_00-01-46.png


Excerpt:

The Flat Earth International Conference 2019 will hold their next gathering on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 14-15, at the Frisco Conference Center.

The guest roster and schedule for the November conference have to be seen to be believed. Some of the guest speakers include the conference's founder Robbie Davidson who showed his IQ when he got fooled for a prank documentary by Logan Paul, the YouTuber who didn't possess enough intelligence to know that filming a dead human body while giggling and wearing a stupid hat isn't a great idea.

Other guests include a musician named Alex O the "Flat Earth Man" who's a mix of Toby Keith, Johnny Cash and severe mental strain and alt-right comedian Owen Benjamin, who's best known for posting anti-semitic and racist rants on YouTube and for questioning the authenticity of the moon landing and the Earth's roundness while sometimes playing a piano because, um, comedy?

Flat Earth Outtakes #9 Charlatans, Super Fans and Messiah's, by Flat Earth Reset 3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfud6i1Ej_8&t=0s     

Shane Dawson says... 

"The purpose of your life is to have gratitude and purpose and serve God, that which made you.  Science didn’t give you eyes.  Random fucking over a billion years didn’t give you ears.  God did.

And that’s logic.  Do you think logic and math explains how our fucking solar system and galaxy is a straight flat plane and even though we have the law of entropy for some reason the most complicated physical things that we can’t imagine just came out of fucking.  You’re out of your mind.  That is the illogic. Logic comes from a word guys, logos, logic to see where the word God, form, natural law, all the same thing.  You know what is real and what is not real.  And when you know truth will set you free, work will set you free.  Labor, truth, love, family, soil, that’s what’s real.  Then you won’t fall for these tricks."

Owen Benjamin Can't Find The Moon - Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Edition, by Team Skeptic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52W7-8gheCc

"Hey guys, today's video is in honor of Apollo 11 and the NASA Space Program. Owen Benjamin Can't Find The Moon, and is convinced there is no moon. We cover lunar librations, and tidal locking of the moons in our solar system. Apollo 11 landed on the moon July 20, 1969 and 50 years later we are talking of going back, and even further. I appreciate what NASA and all astronauts do to further the advancement of our species."

Following up on an excellent video by SciManDan, Bob the Science Guy explains Tidal Locking of the Moon. Tidal Locking is responsible for our seeing the same face of the moon, this is common amongst moons in our solar system and even the planet Mercury is nearly tidally locked to the sun.

Famous Comedian Rants about the Moon Landing

Yes Owen Benjamin is back, this time ranting about the moon landing and how he thinks we never went. As usual, he is fuelled by incredulity and a full on Dunning-Kruger high.

Thanks for watching.
