RE: Nothing is what it seems
I agree. I have to apply Occam's Razor when I see that animation. The speeds stated in that model just do not compute with my tiny brain when compared to what I see and feel. I have no idea what's really going on, but I too have a very hard time believing that model is my reality. A much simpler explanation seems far more likely from my perspective.
Oh! I am not alone ! People always laugh at my skepticism.
We would believe anything about what is going on beyond what we can see...even if contradicts what our 5 senses tells us.
Sun speed: 450,000 mph
Earth speed: 30 km per second
Earths rotation: 1000mph
Yet I can go outside without a hair blowing in the wind and feel completely stationary...but thats because blah blah blah. (I actually know the physics that explains it but im still skeptic)
We see the sun and moon as the same size but that's because the sun is 400x further and 400x bigger...what a fucking coincidence.
That's what indoctrination has done to people. They are afraid to think for themselves or question anything out of fear of being ridiculed for having a differing opinion than the hive mind. Years ago when I first started questioning authority and everything in general, I would get pretty upset when people would hurl insults my way for speaking my thoughts in public. Now, I see those people for what they really are, scared and threatened by being wrong or lied to by those who taught them everything they "know". I was like them 15 years ago and I now see how foolish I was not to question things I'd been taught and do experiments for myself and basically, think for myself finally.
It has been a real eye opening experience over the past 15 years to see things from an entirely new perspective and to actually welcome ideas that go against the grain of society, instead of instantly ridiculing them as most of us have been taught by public schools. I have learned so much by understanding that I don't know anything at all. :)
