Not likely. Ever heard of the Mayans? See video

I was the first to specifically state that the solar eclipse is not caused by the Moon.

I mentioned Rahu and Ketu, the Black Sun, many years ago.

Subsequently, my ideas were copied and used without acknowledging the source.

Not only that, but I provided the detailed analysis of the Allais effect, the most direct proof that the Moon does not cause the solar eclipse.

OK all you Heliocentric Priest,

Can you explain this to me about the shadows of the Solar Eclipse on Earth.

If the Moons diameter is 3474 km, all when light hits an object is parallel to it, and  it's shadow must be equal to or greater than the objects dimensions, why does the moon shadow on a Solar eclipse is only 70 miles wide,

The Heliocentric hypothesis is wrong!!!!

Idiot, the sun is 40 times wider than the moon. If you don't understand a simple concept like light from each edge of this wider sun converging towards a central point after passing the moon, then go back to school, assuming you went there in the first place!

Is there, by any chance, something like aether involved?

Amazing how this black sun never blocks any stars at night! Amazing how it just happens to be in the exact same place as the moon would be projected to be on any model! Amazing how you cannot explain why the umbra is 70 miles wide this time, but can vary  from no umbra to an even larger umbra! Nor can you explain the penumbra which is massive! Come on, give us a model of how the magical black sun would be able to do all the things that the elliptical orbits of the earth and moon allow for explanations and prediction of all eclipses past and future!
I guess it is all just some mystical bullshit which FE is famous for!

the sun is very large so the shadow converges over distance.

"Moreover, both the Black Sun and the Shadow Moon orbit at a low altitude beyond the Dome, and only cross the sky to cause the solar or the lunar eclipse (respectively)."
The black sun and shadow moon pass through the dome? You are truly an imaginative idiot!
Does this black sun also change size, since it would have to be bigger than the sun to make a 70 mile umbra this time around, but during an annular eclipse it would have to be smaller than the sun, as the edges of the sun are visible? As for your 15 mile high sun and 25 mile high stars, you are one of a kind, a true flatretard.

Johnorbital said the same thing with regard to the lunar eclipse:

I asked why your 'slightly transparent extra celestial body' doesn't block out the lights of other stars.

And you did receive the answer: it has everything to do with the DISTANCE involved.

In the first case, the Shadow Moon passes exactly in front of the Moon, perhaps less than a few hundred meters; as such, the radiation emitted by the Moon is picked up by the Shadow Moon, and its form can be seen, but only as it passes in front of the Moon.

The stars orbit much farther above: perhaps some 20-25 more kilometers in altitude. Their radiation is not nearly strong enough to make the Shadow Moon manifest itself.

Moreover, both the Black Sun and the Shadow Moon orbit at a low altitude beyond the Dome, and only cross the sky to cause the solar or the lunar eclipse (respectively).

So this "slightly transparent extra celestial body" is kinda like Transitions eyeglass lenses????

It gets more opaque as light increases??

That is the most awesome thing I've heard all week!

Basically it said that the shadow cast by a light source will always be greater or equal to the size of the object.

Why then, do we only see 70 miles of moon shadow during a solar eclipse on the earth if the moon has a diameter of 3474 km.

A very valid point, since the light source, the sun has all of its sun rays parallel between the moon and the Earth. See image below

They are effectively parallel for most anything you can measure by yourself.  The convergence happens over very long distances.  The same thing happens with the size of the Earth's shadow on the Moon and is one of the ways to estimate the moon's distance.

Yes, so could you!
Hang a tennis ball from a piece of string, use a light source that is wider than the tennis ball, and the shadow caste on the wall will vary according to the distance you move the light source away from the ball, and you can vary the distance the ball is from the wall to add further examples! Then use a ping pong ball and notice the differences.

Add to this that the sun is not a flipping spotlight, as FE'ers assume, but that light emanates from each point on its surface outwards in all directions. Since the sun is bigger than the moon, the outer parts of the sun have rays that converge towards a single point after passing the moon, and depending on the distance from the earth to the moon at the time, the larger or shorter the umbra shadow.

As for your 15 mile high sun and 25 mile high stars, you are one of a kind

Then, you be the first REtard to explain the acceleration of the rate of axial precession as it applies to the Earth - Sirius distance:

https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=30499.msg1795032#msg1795032

Basic information the subject:

The greatest American mathematician of the 19th century, Simon Newcomb, discovered that the axial precession of the Earth is accelerating.

Simon Newcomb included a “constant” in his precession formula to get it to match the increasing rate of precession that was observed leading up to his era.

The “constant” amount was .000222 arc seconds per year.

In 1900 the precession rate was 50.2564 (USNO).

In 2000 the precession rate was 50.290966 (AA).

This shows us the precession rate has increased over the past 100 years by .0346 for an average of .000346” per/year. Comparing this to Newcomb’s 0.000222” figure,  we can see the actual rate of change has not simply increased at a “constant” rate – it has increased at an “exponential” rate.



This, by itself, is enough to shatter to pieces Newtonian mechanics:

The mass of the Sun/Moon/planets has not increased (we all know that the mass of the Sun is actually constantly decreasing).

The orbital distances are the same (and the Moon is constantly receding from the Earth).


Precession has nothing to do with the law of attractive gravitation.


Then you, the REtard, have a huge problem on your hands.

HOW or WHY does Sirius keep up so precisely with the exponentially increasing rate of precession?

How can Sirius' proper motion stay synched up so precisely with precession, when the rate of precession itself is changing?


If any local force in here the "heliocentrical" solar system drove up the rate of precession, it would NOT also drive up the proper motion of Sirius across the sky.



In the official theory of astrophysics, Sirius is 8.6 LIGHT YEARS from Earth.

THAT IS 81 TRILLION KILOMETERS.

And yet it keeps up precisely with the exponential increase of the rate of precession.



Dr. Jad Buchwald (Caltech):

Sirius remains about the same distance from the equinoxes—and so from the solstices— throughout these many centuries, despite precession.

".... despite precession, Sirius and the solstice must remain about the same distance in time from one another during most of Egyptian history."


It is recognized that from the beginning of the empire and during the entire dynastic period the rising of Sirius with the Sun always occurred around the time of the Summer solstice.

The implication of this astronomical fact is best explained by Jed Z. Buchwald, a distinguished Professor of History and Science, in his paper “Egyptian Stars under Paris Skies” (Caltech, Engineering & Science No. 4, 2003), where he discusses the meaning of the Zodiac that has been engraved in the ceiling of the temple of Dendera in Egypt:

“The solstice is, after all, extraordinarily hard to pin-point by observation, and in any case it was known from Greek texts that the Egyptians were particularly concerned with the heliacal rising of the brightest star in the sky, Sirius—that is, with the night when Sirius first appears, just before dawn. In Egyptian prehistory this event certainly preceded the annual flooding of the Nile, which was of obvious agricultural importance. Would not precession have moved Sirius along with the zodiacal stars, eventually decoupling its heliacal rising from the solstice, and so from the annual inundation? We know today that the inundation occurs after the June beginning of the rainy season in Ethiopia, where the Blue Nile rises. And yet Sirius’ heliacal rising remained a central marker of the year throughout Egyptian history.” (p 25)

".... despite precession, Sirius and the solstice must remain about the same distance in time from one another during most of Egyptian history. Indeed they do, though it’s doubtful that Burckhardt and Coraboeuf had thought it through. Because of Sirius’ position, and the latitudes at which the Egyptians observed the sky, both Sirius’ heliacal rising and the summer solstice remained nearly the same number of days apart throughout Egyptian history even though the zodiac moves slowly around the ecliptic." (pp 29)

Buchwald, who produced a revealing diagram on the ‘Heliacal Risings of Sirius’ in relation to the vernal points (for the period of 2900 BCE to 2941 CE at intervals of 1460 years) using TheSky software, makes it very clear that "Sirius remains about the same distance from the equinoxes - and so from the solstices - throughout these many centuries, despite precession".


Unless you can explain this paradox, you should shut the fuck up, and accept that the distance from Earth is Sirius is much smaller than we have been led to believe.


The black sun and shadow moon pass through the dome?

Only a high school dropout like yourself could have made such an inference.

I never said anything of the kind.

On the contrary.

Each and every heavenly body orbits OUTSIDE the first dome.

Here is the basic proof that the Moon cannot and does not cause the solar eclipse: the Allais effect.

Yes very aware of how that works, still doesn't explain why NASA has posted a video that shows OPPOSITE rotations of moon and earth as to show how the shadow will draw across the US continent.

and yea, atleast I can admit I didn't think of the suns angular disordinance relative to the rotation of the earth. in a sense yes, it would go west to east as the sun moves against our rotaion (as it stays fixed and we move CC) faster than the moon would allowing it to cast a shadow west to east.

still would love to know why the Nasa video is Lacking hard
