You would think that with the innumerable probes, and related photos and videos we would have some convincing evidence of movement. You might also believe in the moon landings.
Eye opening stuff Doctor F. I just had no idea about this. Before reading your posts, as you know, I was skeptical about the truth claims of "science" now I am downright heretical. I used to think it was so called human science or social science that was making claims it could not prove. After reading your posts I think most of science is speculation pretending to be truth. If no static point can be defined how can we even talk about rotation? Can we observe Jupiter rotating? Can we observe its moons rotating? At least if we can do that we can see we have seen something we call a planet rotating. I mean on its own axis. It seems to me observing rotation about the sun must be far more difficult even if it does exist. Links to Nasa phony pictures would be great. Looking forward to your take on the moon landings. I am beginning to doubt them. Interesting to see what you have to say about them. Thanks again for all your hard work on this. It boggles my mind how much you know on all this and all the detail. Other areas I would love you to cover are "radio waves" what are they and how do they work? Also TV, what is it and how does it work? Also the computer chip? I have tried to find out and failed. Seems to me these technologies are far too advanced to have appeared so early and the text book explanations are just hopeless. How, for example, were TV images broadcast from the moon?
Hi David, thanks - you ask very, very hard questions :)) The images from the moon is an interesting one, looking at how NASA controlled the comms links and feeds. Will discuss those in the next post. The Russians apparently sent back fascimile data and images from a remotely controlled probe on the moon in the mid 1960s (many are sceptical of that, akin to a 'fax' machine connection, seems convenient if we view the Cold War).
On Jupiter tbh I don't know, my own telescope is not powerful enough to get a proper view. Need to have a look at the claims and see the proofs. Weirdly the moon rotates on its axis once per month....I have been trying to find out why, but no real explanation exists. This means that the moon's light face is the same (as we move or rotate, the light side will be the same). This is difficult to understand tbh.
TV and radio waves - good ideas, they preceed 'the science' as discoveries, though 'the science' takes credit. The computer chip is an interesting one. Much of that was luck in how the silicon chip and transistor were discovered. Nothing to do with 'the science'. Will post something on that. In general people mix up technology (the wonders of the computer system in our cars + GPS for eg) with 'science'. Often the 2 are unrelated and 'the science' comes after the tech to try and 'explain it' theoretically. Electricity is a good example of this as well.
You caption your first image as one of the Earth (the blue ball), but the link you provide says it is an image of the Sun? Please can you clarify. Thank you.
I watched the 1 minute video you linked in your post. For the whole video, the timer at bottom right remains on 00.00. Seems like a still shot not a real time video?

Thanks Fiona, well spotted, sorry for that, yes indeed it is the Sun (according to SOHO).
Ha ha, indeed! 😉

Good catch, will have to review that. I don't think it can be a still, but would need to see the original.
