A Few Questions

These are some questions that came to mind while I was reading through the Q&A sticky that I wasn't able to immediately find answer to; I was hoping to get a knowledgable member here to answer some of these questions quickly; they seem fairly simple.

Where does the Earth get its energy?  If from the sun, how does a sun that is only 38 miles in diameter provide enough energy?

How do those that are in charge of the conspiracy fake satellites moving in the sky?

Why is it that FEers have seemingly complete understanding of dark matter while the public domain of science isn't quite sure how it works?

Is it possible to get proof of the antimoon?

When space shuttles launch, how high can they get before they are out of view?

Your username isn't very good.

I would have gone with Drew Peacock or Hugh Janus or Chris P Nutts. Or Mike Oxard, Moe Lester or Phil McCrackin.

Anyway ...

Where does the Earth get its energy?

Energy for what? For its acceleration? That comes from dark energy. A mysterious force in the universe that is responsible for 73% of the entire universe.

If from the sun, how does a sun that is only 38 miles in diameter provide enough energy?

The sun is much closer and smaller than you have been lead to believe. Because its so much closer, it doesn't matter that its smaller. It keeps us nice and warm.

How do those that are in charge of the conspiracy fake satellites moving in the sky?

Satellites are fine. Orbit is not. They just fly across the sky and are ferried back to the start position.

Why is it that FEers have seemingly complete understanding of dark matter while the public domain of science isn't quite sure how it works?

FErs are well educated.

Is it possible to get proof of the antimoon?

Yes, eclipses are the best time to observe it.

How good are your eyes?

Fascinating, what is your education level and would you mind enlightening me on some of the basic properties of dark matter and dark energy?  I won't waste your time - sending me to somewhere where this has already been discussed will suffice.

Are people actually able to see it?  Or are they just able to view the effects of it (i.e. The antimoon's shadow on the moon)?

How good are your eyes?

Not as good as high powered telescopes/cameras that view it for lengthy periods of time.

I have a degree in Aerospace Engineering. Of course, this is the internet. I could tell you I have a PhD in Astrophysics. Lets refrain from the arse-sniffing shall we?

Yeah, it turns the moon red. You can read all about it at my link below. Its kind of complicated to answer as a post.

Depends who owns the telescopes and cameras and whether its in their interest to give you accurate pictures.

So NASA pays off every person who views the space launch?  This could be difficult since the space launch would, and you should agree, be able to be viewed for hundreds of miles in any direction (some would have to wait for a little while for the shuttle to get high enough).  Telescopes are fairly inexpensive and, since so many love space, would be a good item to have around shuttle launch time for anyone in the vicinity.

This is what I would consider publically known science which, doesn't consist of enough fact to back up all of the "unknown" properties of FET that are chalked up to dark matter in my opinion.  Thoughts?

The space shuttles circles the disc, just as sattelites do. The people on board are just getting it wrong,
they think they are orbiting a sphere when in reality they are circling the "lit" part of the disc, which appears amazing spherical.

hopefully soon, we will have trained Zetetics go into space and finally end the debate.

Wont it look like a sphere to a Zetetic as well?

it may...
but I think  A Zetetic, would perform numerous experiments to determine the True shape,
and not just accept it to be spherical.
