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.
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?
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.

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.
