I sincerely *hope* this is a joke. But I fear it is not.

Yeah, I just figured this was just poking fun at flat earthers or something, but if not...yeeeesh.

Innit, though?  Especially for something that doesn't exist...

IBM Research even made an animation using individual atoms for shiggles.

1.5 minutes, enjoy.

I'm still not buying. And light luminates; it does not "emit", unless you believe in photons. Smile

Theo = God, -ology = science. It's right there in the word! However, theology is no longer the 'science of God' but has become the showcase of man's goofy ideas.

1. Yes.

2. That’s not the only possible way to interpret the phrase “geocentric earth”.  It could also mean “earth in a geocentric frame of reference”, or “earth in a geocentric universe”.

3. It does not require that.  The observable universe can be exactly what it is, and yet the earth is at it’s exact geometric center.  Observations do not preclude it, but they offer no evidence whatsoever for it.   The system of understanding the universe that does not give the earth a uniquely central position explains everything we’ve observed more cleanly and less contrivedly.
1. great.
2. If you think that "geocentric" means anything other than "earth centred" feel free to rewrite the OED. While you are at it, go ahead and redefine "atheist" to mean "unicorn".
3. You cannot define Earth as the centre of the universe without stars being impossibly close or travelling in excess of c. There is no middle ground on that. Unless you wish to appeal to magic, in which case all bets are off.
Technically there is no "c" because light has no "speed". Einstein? Please! Really?

I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9

I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!

When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!

I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.

Never attribute to ordinary malice what can be explained by extraordinary ignorance and confusion.

Math cannot explain the field modality of nature. Actually, it explains nothing because you being math minded, cannot observe nature beyond some quantified particle equation theories while ignoring the quality of a wave through a medium. 


I had to reject theology in order to understand my own observations. But, that was easy for me cause I can read the autographed language of the bible in all it's inflections that have been ignored by the clergy. They; preferring rather to be "Spirit filled", would rather continue that nonsense rather then use their brain.


Well guess what? I'm having the same problem with science and nature. Nature I am coming to understand. Just like I came to understand the bible without theological nonsense but science I must understand without quantified Einsteinisms! Because your math is useless to me! I can't read calculus!


However, what I have learned from a squirrel: your math could never explain! 


Energy moves through water(medium) known as a wave. The water does NOT move. It is a field interaction causing the water to go up and down like a piston in an engine. The energy moves through the medium of water. The water does not go forward until the energy is dissipated(breaking wave) on the reef. There are no watermatrons! 

I am a surfer and know dis da kine!


What does that have to do with squirrel tech--everything!
