Science General Discussion

how to people like this manage to live to be an age like that?  the stupidity is astounding

Some of it is like what are you talking about?  

And others parts are like no way!  That's basically what modern science predicts.  

Like it seems like Earth is at the center.  
Okay, let's make a graph.  

No matter where I put the center, it always looks like it could be the real center.  There's no unique center.  

Where did you find this video? Has a pretty low view count.

It's the third result when I search geocentric.
But most importantly someone posted a question on this other site I was looking at.

Is atheism struggling to keep a lid on the new scientific evidence that proves geocentrism is true? - Quora

For five years, the astronomers from Bochum have been monitoring our Galaxy in the search of objects with variable brightness.  Those objects may, for example, include stars in front of which a planet is passing, or multiple systems where stars orbit each other and which obscure each other every now and then.  For his PhD thesis, Moritz Hackstein is compiling a catalogue of such variable objects of medium brightness. It uses data from a team led by the University's Chair of Astrophysics that takes pictures of the southern sky night after night. They use the telescopes at Bochum's university observatory in the Atacama Desert in Chile. More than 50,000 new variable objects, which had hitherto not been recorded in databanks, have been discovered by the researchers so far.

The area that the astronomers observe is so large that they have to subdivide it into 268 sections.  They photograph each section in intervals of several days.  By comparing the images, they are able to identify the variable objects.  The team has assembled the individual images of the 268 sections into one comprehensive image.  Following a calculation period of several weeks, they created a 194 Gigabyte file, into which images taken with different filters have been entered.

Fresh photo of Enceladus. So beautiful.

Fun fact, its oceans of liquid water are more than twice as deep as Earth's.
