My kindest conclusion as to how seemingly reasonable people could believe the Earth was flat is rooted in justifiable suspicion of authority. Authorities that for the most part impart only lies and deceptions for us to swallow. So when science entered the fray to authoritatively confirm the true geometry of the Earth, this had the opposite effect to that desired and was seen in itself as proof the Earth was flat. The tragedy in all this is that this almost total distrust in authority and in all things it proclaims, generally yields the correct answers although rarely for the correct reasons. Such distrust and suspicion is to be encouraged at all costs, particularly with what the last year or so has revealed about the rules based order and its exposed plans for world domination. I think the reason for the exception case of the Earth being truthfully told to be spherical is due to the fact that no other position confers advantage over any other in practical day to day terms, or in terms of wealth or political advantage, so that the truth may as well be told. Long may there be people who disbelieve everything authority has to say, but very occasionally, such as in the shape of the Earth, such a predisposition will prove to be wrong. I could go on, but eventually I will find myself going round in circles, and that would not be in the best interests of this topic.

That barely detectable yet utterly noticeable (for those looking for it) pause after first introducing Rowbotham and his alias 'parallax' is priceless!

I have stayed starry eyed since my first hit of acid forty years ago.

Kind of depressing to think that I saw Hale-Bopp when I was 15 and I’ll probably never see anything like it again

The time and extraordinary effort to get the facts and concepts just right shows clearly in your content. Bravo!

"What do you love? What do you dream? What do you hope?" Easy, that this ParallaxNick video will be as inspiring and entertaining as the last. "What do you fear" The KZfaq algorithm that took so long to recommend his videos.

The best bedtime story i have ever been told.

I believe most of these people of the fire have been unalived in modern times by the cult in power today.

So you talked about the Babylonians Greeks and Romans in the calendars the names of the Gods and days of the week. What about the rest of the world?

115,000 times more luminous, 250,000 times... I take it to mean we could not even operate in these areas of space; too bright, dangerous radiation, etc.

Gotta love that astronomical bar talk.

You know what else is roughly 25-30 days long? Something that early humans might want to keep track of? A womans’s menstrual cycle.

The ancient works wasn't as colorful as ours.... Is the funniest thing I've heard today

Dark matter troubles me. It's very much an "it ought to be there" idea like the luminiferous ether. All we really know is that it seems to bodge our current physics to roughly fit observations, and that really doesn't seem like very good science. I can use angels pushing the stars in a similar manner.

I show this "ParallaxNick" my Gospel of Truth - Mathematics as the Holistic Viewpoint." Then he makes this Copernicus video saying the gods were not sungods or astrological in nature. . And then, he goes on to say that Copernicus book on the Heliocentric hypothesis had only seven calculations. Copernicus's book is filled with Mathematical arguments for his Heliocentric hypothesis.

This is now my favorite channel on KZfaq. I watch A LOT of space youtube but very few convey new (to me) information. You are clear and concise and don't just farm neutron black hole regurgitation. This is the content I crave. Tell me about EVERYTHING! I am here for it!

one of my favourite astronomy channels. no fluff just very informative and enjoyable all around

I have only recently discovered your channel. I love your content so far.

Pause at 54:54. Okay so we might know about what causes so much variance, you explain that exceedingly qell, but _how_ are the atomic clocks, sort-of 'corrected' back to the expected rate? edit: and wouldn't the leap minute replace the leap second adter 60 years, and not 100? 😉

Great content as always! It just seems to me that the narration wasn’t in stereo, my only concern. Thnx again!
