175. Images of the Earth from the Moon have been proven to be created using cut and paste

"Professional photo-analysts have dissected several NASA images of the ball-Earth and found undeniable proof of computer editing. For example, images of the Earth allegedly taken from the Moon have proven to be copied and pasted in, as evidenced by rectangular cuts found in the black background around the “Earth” by adjusting brightness and contrast levels. If they were truly on the Moon and Earth was truly a ball, there would be no need to fake such pictures."



Dubay is the lying faker caught red handed

Let us do what Dubay says and manipulate the image by adjusting brightness and contrast.  This is the original image available at http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a17/AS17-134-20471HR.jpg 


I found that it was not possible to reproduce Dubay’s image by adjusting brightness and contrast, but I could get close if I also adjusted the colour balance.  I set contrast to maximum, brightness to almost maximum and adjusted colour balance to remove green while maintaining luminosity.



You can clearly see a halo effect around the Moon.  The thing to note about this halo is that it is definitely not rectangular.   See magnified image below.



There is no way short of manually editing this image that the Moon can end up with a rectangular background which proves that Dubay faked his “fake”.

Try it yourself.  Download the image and try to reproduce Dubay’s image.  You will not be able to.
If we take any other high contrast photo and do similar manipulations we get similar halo effects.




Is NASA to blame for this as well?

The simple fact is that this is just a function of how image files are created and the manipulations that you perform.  None of it is proof of fakery.

No doubt Dubay or his “Professional photo-analysts”  know this, which is why he/they felt the need to fake a rectangular halo.

One more lie to add to the many already exposed.

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
