173. Images of Earth with copied clouds is proof that all pictures of Earth from space are fake

"NASA has several alleged photographs of the ball-Earth which show several exact duplicate cloud patterns!  The likelihood of having two or three clouds of the exact same shape in the same picture is as likely as finding two or three people with exactly the same fingerprints. In fact it is solid proof that the clouds were copied and pasted in a computer program and that such pictures showing a ball- shaped Earth are fakes." 



Yes we know.  Proves nothing

This is the picture of Earth made famous by its inclusion on Iphones.  The history of this photo is well documented.

Robert Simmon and Reto Stöckli, the two NASA employees who created this image, readily admit there are numerous fakeries in his image.   It's not a conspiracy if it is well documented, readily admitted and easily looked up by anyone who cares to.

  • The image is a composite of strips taken over the course of 4 months.
  • The atmosphere is Photoshop blur.
  • Some of the clouds are collaged together using Photoshop’s clone tool to cover gaps in the satellite’s coverage.
  • The black area around the earth is a background of black colour that Simmon placed the earth on top of. (This is done even for many unfiltered/unaltered images of Earth simply to create a pleasing composition).

The image was created in an attempt to undercut people who were at the time selling false colour images of Earth from black and white NASA images and charging as much as $10,000 a shot.

Now of course things have moved on.  There are many unfiltered and unaltered photos of Earth from space.

See proof 171 for a list of some of these.  Do your “analysis” on these photos Mr Dubay.

Lastly, it is absurd to think that NASA with a budget of billions could be so incompetent in faking photos if they wanted to as part of some global conspiracy.

127. Straight reflections of sunlight and moonlight are impossible on a spherical Earth

Image
"The fact that the Sun and Moon’s reflections on water always form a straight line path from the horizon to the observer proves the Earth is not a ball. If Earth’s surface was curved it would be impossible for the reflected light to curve over the ball from horizon to observer." This is a flawed argument because Dubay does not understand how reflections operate Although he doesn't describe it very well, I presume that Dubay is referring to the angle of reflection from a curved surface.  I.e. the curve of the Earth would mean that the angle of reflection off the surface would result in nearly all the light  not reaching the observer's eyes. The fact that, if this was how reflections worked, that the same would be true on a flat Earth seems to have escaped Dubay's notice. This type of reflection is called specular reflection, and takes place with mirror like surfaces.  Generally the surface of the water is not perfectly flat so the reflection of the light

Debunking Eric Dubay's 200 proofs the earth is not a spinning ball

Image
Conspiracy Baloney aims to provide resources to counter to the influence of the crazy anti-science conspiracy theories that are out there. This blog is specifically to debunk Eric Dubay's " 200 proofs the earth is not a spinning ball", that I have found flat earthers often cite. There are quite a few resources out there that comprehensively debunk this book, but I think that one more voice can only help.  I have tried to keep the rebuttals as non technical as possible. Eric Dubay’s proofs are laughably simplistic and demonstrate an almost complete lack of understanding of maths and anything scientific or technical. A list of "proofs" that show Dubay is an idiot He also likes to give historical quotes as proofs.  Typical are quotes from the 1800’s but he even has one from before 1600!.  Not only are these opinions not proof of anything, but the fact that he can’t provide quotes from more up to date sources destroys their credibility. Worse,

18. The Michelson-Morley and Sagnac experiments failed to detect any significant change in the speed of light caused by the motion of the earth, which proves that the earth is stationary

"The Michelson-Morley and Sagnac experiments attempted to measure the change in speed of light due to Earth’s assumed motion through space.  After measuring in every different possible direction in various locations they failed to detect any significant change whatsoever , again proving the stationary geocentric model.” Dubay quotes science out of context to support a false conclusion Again Dubay and the Flat Earthers mis-interpret the results of scientific experiment ignoring the conclusions of the scientists who actually devised and conducted the experiment. This experiment was nothing to do with proving whether the Earth was stationary or in motion.  The scientists in keeping with the scientific consensus accepted that the Earth was in motion.  The prevailing belief was that because light was a wave, it must be propagated through a medium in a similar way to waves being propagated through water.  This medium was named Luminiferous Aether. However there were two theories
