petemcewan   27 #1766 Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Mac33,  Mac33, The link I included may help you to understand why the people -you recruit to support your propositions -believe what they believe.  To undertake a probe into the Sun's corona is too enormously technical and expensive; for it to rest upon anything other than absolutely correct scientific principles. It's inconceivable that the telemetry for the project is based on distances which are wrong.  ---------- Post added 17-09-2018 at 09:38 ----------  Interstellar space travel, a post-human enterprise -human beings won't go. To Mars and Barnsley? Yes , a worthy endeavour; entirely funded by Billionaires.   "Science is a part of culture," he insisted. "Indeed it is the only truly global culture because protons and proteins are the same all over the world and it's the one culture we can all share." Martin Rees.   For all the Flat Earthers:     Of Truth by Francis Bacon  "What is truth?" said jesting Pilate, and would not stay for an answer. Certainly there be that delight in giddiness, and count it a bondage to fix a belief, affecting free-will in thinking as well as in acting. And though the sects of philosophers of that kind be gone, yet there remain certain discoursing wits which are of the same veins, though there be not so much blood in them as was in those of the ancients. But it is not only the difficulty and labor which men take in finding out of truth, nor again that when it is found it imposeth upon men's thoughts, that doth bring lies in favor, but a natural though corrupt love of the lie itself. One of the later school of the Grecians examineth the matter, and is at a stand to think what should be in it, that men should love lies where neither they make for pleasure, as with poets, nor for advantage, as with the merchant; but for the lie's sake. But I cannot tell: this same truth is a naked and open daylight that doth not show the masques and mummeries and triumphs of the world half so stately and daintily as candle-lights".

Longcol   594 #1776 Posted November 4, 2018 The modern lie of cosmology. Watch from the 44 minute mark to the end.  P.S - The odds of petemcewan watching the doc are zero....sadly.    The chances of anyone on SF being stupid enough to waste their time watching youtubes you post are pretty negligible.  Now when are you going to explain how we have day in one place and night in another on a flat earth?
