200 Proofs that Eric Dubay is a liar and an idiot

"People claim Google Earth somehow proves the ball model without realizing that Google Earth is simply a composite program of images taken from high-altitude planes and street-level car-cameras superimposed onto a CGI model of a ball Earth. The same could be just as easily modeled onto a square Earth or any other shape and therefore cannot be used as proof of Earth’s rotundity." Could be true But that does not prove it is true.  Some evidence for the things Dubay claims would be nice occasionally. < Prev      171-180     Next >

"People even claim to see satellites with their naked eyes, but this is ridiculous considering they are smaller than a bus and allegedly 100+ miles away; It is impossible to see anything so small that far away. Even using telescopes, no one claims to discern the shape of satellites but rather describes seeing passing moving lights, which could easily be any number of things from airplanes to drones to shooting stars or other unidentified flying objects." More opinion from Dubay with nothing to back it up It is impossible to see anything so small that far away Dubay's assertion that it would be impossible to see the light reflected off something as small as a satellite is easily disproved because people have looked into how sensitive the human eye is, and it is very sensitive. You can see a flickering candle from 30 miles away.  You can see starlight from millions of miles away (although flat earthers would of course dispute that source). [The observed ...

"So-called “satellite” TV dishes are almost always positioned at a 45 degree angle towards the nearest ground-based repeater tower. If TV antennae were actually picking up signals from satellites 100+ miles in space, most TV dishes should be pointing more or less straight up to the sky.   The fact that “satellite” dishes are never pointing straight up and almost always positioned at a 45 degree angle proves they are picking up ground-based tower signals and not “outer-space satellites.” " More lies that are easily exposed A few seconds googling TV satellite dish images can show this claim to be completely bogus.  Satellite dishes can be found at all sorts of angles, including straight up. Source:  https://pixabay.com/ A satellite dish pointing straight as seen in the above image immediately disproves the ground station theory, so Dubay does what he always does and pretends that it never happens. Also note that Dubay can’t actually give a locatio...

"So-called “satellite” phones have been found to have reception problems in countries like Kazakhstan with very few cell phone towers. If the Earth were a ball with 20,000+ satellites surrounding, such blackouts should not regularly occur in any rural countryside areas." Dubay makes blanket claims for all satellite companies without providing any specifics. 20,000+ satellites There are several satellite communications companies, all with different technologies, coverage and service capabilities.  The 20,000+ number of satellites figure is meaningless since only a few of these are used to provide satellite phone services. Some of the major satellite phone companies are listed below with the number of satellites that they operate. Iridium:  66 low Earth orbit satellites Gloabalstar: 24 low Earth orbit satellites Immarsat: 13 geostationary satellites Satellite phones have reception problems where there are few cellphone towers Dubay is implying that satel...

"The “geostationary communications satellite” was first created by Freemason science -fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke and supposedly became science-fact just a decade later. Before this, radio, television, and navigation systems like LORAN and DECCA were already well-established and worked fine using only ground-based technologies.  Nowadays huge fibre-optics cables connect the internet across oceans, gigantic cell towers triangulate GPS signals, and ionospheric propagation allows radio waves to be bounced all without the aid of the science-fiction best-seller known as “satellites.” " More unsubstantiated claims from Dubay Dubay could have just saved time and said “I don’t believe in Satellites”, to which the response is … show us some actual evidence for a change.  However let us go through his individual points "The "geostationary communications satellite” was first created by .... science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke ..." Arthur C Clarke was of...

"All NASA and other “space agencies” rocket launches never go straight up. Every rocket forms a parabolic curve, peaks out, and inevitably starts falling back to Earth. The rockets which are declared “successful” are those few which don’t explode or start falling too soon but make it out of range of spectator view before crashing down into restricted waters and recovered. There is no magic altitude where rockets or anything else can simply go up, up, up and then suddenly just start “free-floating” in space. This is all a science-fiction illusion created by wires, green -screens, dark pools, some permed hair and Zero-G planes." Dubay does not understand how rockets get into orbit.  As usual he makes stuff up instead. Gravity works over very very long distances.   Gravity keeps the earth moving around the Sun and stars circling the centre of galaxies.  If a rocket just flew straight up and left a satellite a long distance from Earth it would just be inexorably p...

"It is impossible for rockets or any type of jet propulsion engines to work in the alleged non-atmosphere of vacuum space because without air/atmosphere to push against there is nothing to propel the vehicle forwards.  Instead the rockets and shuttles would be sent spinning around their own axis uncontrollably in all directions like a gyroscope. It would be impossible to fly to the Moon or go in any direction whatsoever, especially if “gravity” were real and constantly sucking you towards the closest densest body." Dubay does not understand how rockets work Jet engines do not work in space.  Wooo hooo Dubay gets something right.  However that is the only thing that he gets right.   Jet engines go on jets.  Jets don't go to space.  Hopefully that is simple enough for Dubay to understand. Now we've dealt with jet engines we can move onto rockets.  Rocket engines do not “push against” air/atmosphere.  They work by virtue of Newton's th...
