Paltalk 2012 chat, Part 2
Here are some more snippets from the Paltalk 2012 chat rooms. I think they are worth posting if only as a reminder of the depth of public ignorance of astronomy and science. Some are also quite amusing.
I've added a few comments here and there [in square brackets]. The rest is unedited text from the 2012 chat rooms.
[ First, a few PREDICTIONS …. ]
Malatesa: today there was an 8.3 earthquake. Nibiru is getting closer
WendyKatt: all kind of space shit will hit us
Jim stack: SOLAR FLARES WILL SET US IN COMPLETE DARKNESS
NO_Church_n_State: Alaska will be at the equator when our crust turns as we go through the galactic equator
errol_g3: i'm waiting for a spring tide and all the planets aligned with the north sea and i'm gonna watch London UK flood so badly it'll never recover
IbeMale: cant imagine how horrible having our galactic plane collide with another will be
shadow craft: The veil is about to be lifted and a view to our core is going to open very soon… It will look like aurora borialis a cats eye in the sky….amen earthplay
[ Some BAD Astronomy …. ]
Earthplay: ok this 2012 date is important from many aspects
a rare aliegnment to the galactic plane, with our sun and the earths magnetic north pole, which at this time will only be 7 degrees from a perfect aliegnment this happens only one, togather every 26000 yrs
at this time we will not only have an aliegenment, but cross hemispheres of the milky way galaxy
this is called the completion of the precession of the equinox, and a galactic crossing
[ Above, "Earthplay" has confused the Precession of the Equinoxes with crossing the galactic plane, a misconception I believe he got from watching Ivan Stein's videos (which we have now thoroughly debunked, see the link on the left) ]
Tubular bridge: for the sun to move in the zodiac from being "in aries" to "in sagittarius" , what is the cause? is it - 1. the earths spin? 2. the earths orbit around the sun? or 3. the suns orbit around the galaxy? which one?
esotericx10: All of the above
Tubular bridge: all?
esotericx10: It's all moving isn't it?
Earthplay: number 3 orbit through the galaxy
[The correct answer is of course 2. The Sun's APPARENT movement along the ecliptic through the year, and its APPARENT movement through the zodiac constellations, is caused by the EARTH'S orbit around the Sun.]
[ Some more examples of Astronomical Confusion. So obviously wrong as to render comments unnecessary …. ]
batyom1: you can't live on a planet without a magnetosphere, there would be no gravity
Costeroller: does mars have a magnetosphere?
batyom1: none of the planets do
batyom1: except earth
HMS_ILLUSTRIOUS: we are like a top spinning through space and the gamma feilds hols us in orbit
Donnie Darko_1_1: are we on the outside surrounding the milkeyway?
Earthplay: we must be so far from the universal core it isnt funny
mrhoss: Caused by the re emergence into the Milky Way?
Earthplay: not sure hosss to be truthful, but yes we
willo cross the dark rift galactic plane very soon
Universal4u: electro magnectic fields tear up the earths core
resulting in earth quakes
the earth has a blocking shield but some magnets do get thru
Earthplay: we can NOT leave low earth orbit and never have been able to
Earthplay: this is just simple physics
Duke of Duct Tape: when the sun rises between scorpio and sagittarus the pole shifts
between scorpio and sagitarius which is center of universe
Mr_Bonus: oh yeh,. theres a HUGE amount of galactic dust pouring into our solar helioshpere..
Earthplay: MrB just the region od space we are racing into
the dark rift and the discontinuity of space between pisces and aquarius
gee whats in that region?
the galactic plane
called ophiucius
aretusa_3: once you cross the equator
lots of stones out there
from other planets exploding
PlayingThroughUntilTheEnd: The Only reason WHY a black smoke spot in Jupiter goes away is it is either covered up by a storm or is is fire and not smoke
fires and HUGE fires . suns come in many sizes
unicef ero: are they gona flip in exuinox
komets are friction
HMS_ILLUSTRIOUS: i think if the tilt of the earth decreases from 23 to 19 whats to stop it going all the way to 0 and then return to 23 but on the other direction thus crating a earth crust displacment …and magnetic shift
PHILLY_DEMOCRAT: the sun is losing some of its magnetic pull
DisGuysDisguise: Autumnal Equinox …..of Solar System ……I think
[ Equinoxes happen at diferent times for different planets, not for the whole Solar System. ]
fight_uni: question. Would Gravity crush us if it weren't for Centripetal force?
fight_uni: I just wondered that without the outward force due to the tangential motion of us riding on the spinning Earth, would gravity crush us
[ Centripetal force at the equator is about 0.03 m/s^2, while acceleration due to gravity is about 10 m/s^2, so if the Earth did not spin, you would weigh a tiny 0.3% more. ]
Heidi Giselle: I have heard about the magnetic field was six times stronger during the ancient times, thus the reason why humans lived longer.
Donnie Darko_1_1: our DNA might be changed by higher frequencies but there is no way to know
The Schumann resonance, also known as Earth?s heartbeat, has increased from its normal 7.8 hz. and is hovering around the 9 ? 11 hz. level. It is expected to move to 13 hz, the frequency of unconditonal love.
wht_ravenlaughs: thankyou donnie i was speaking of earth changed back around the 80's and started humming at a higher rate
shadow craft: Nibiru would explain continental pangia, Its gravity will pull the earths "fit together" continents together as one. while it was transitioning
[ The following concerns a story which appeared in "Viewzone", a kook web magazine, about the Sun being from another galaxy. "AndyMcTar" pointed out why it's bunk, and was, of course, banned from the chatroom. ]
Hampster with Grenade: we are gradually being captured by the milky way galaxy
Earthplay: we are within its influence yes, but we are 60 degrees of the galactic plane
AndyMcTar: the angle of the solar system is irrelevant. solar systems can form at ANY angle to the galactic plane. the solar systems we have been discovering have been at many different angles
Earthplay: they are wrong
Hampster with Grenade: It turns out that our solar system appears to belong to another galaxy that is colliding with the Milky Way.
AndyMcTar: its not hampster. if that was the case, the sun would orbit around that galaxys plane, but we know it orbits the milky ways plane
AndyMcTar: hampster, heres an article describing in detail why the we-belong-to-sagittarius theory is NOT true, http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/06/27/is-the-sun-from-another-galaxy/
[ In the following, Earthplay states (in voice) that rockets cannot move in space unless they have something to push against. "Tornqae" and "Gaugez" try (in text) to introduce him to some basic physics …. ]
[ This extract also contains one of my all-time favourite quotes by a 2012 nut; "whats newtons law got to do with space" !! ]
Tornqae: earthplay its a REACTION, newtons law
Tornqae: no earthplay.
Tornqae: NO
Tornqae: a rocket doesnt NEED anything to push against. its a Reaction
Tornqae: no
Tornqae: totally wrong
Tornqae: a rocket can start ANYWHERE in space
Tornqae: newtons law. equal and opposite reaction.
intermind_1: thats something totally different
intermind_1: whats newtons law got to do with space
gaugez: "Rocket engines are reaction engines. The basic principle driving a rocket engine is the famous Newtonian principle that "to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." A rocket engine is throwing mass in one direction and benefiting from the reaction that occurs in the other direction as a result."
lethalvisions: yeah even a shuttle requires 16 microjets just for posititioning.
gaugez: read the above
gaugez: totally wrong earthplay
gaugez: oh dear
Tornqae: look at the diagram http://www.howstuffworks.com/rocket.htm
intermind_1: im with you earth
lethalvisions: well, in space you don't have that opposite reaction, the physics are totally different…
Earthplay: yes lethal, but it effects the shuttle, not space around it
Tornqae: newtons laws apply exacly the same anywhere
intermind_1: if that dosnt say space rocket when i click your for it
herdmom: like a rifle…. you force something out and there's a kick back, that propels you backward
herdmom: and so will you
Tornqae: its very simple. a rocket in space ejects matter, the REACTION pushes the rocket forward
Tornqae: earthplay, you dont understand this AT ALL
[ Massively misunderstood Antimatter …. ]
Earthplay: id like someone to discribe anti matter
a lack of mass and compisition
anti matter doesnt have a designated shape or form
it has no mass or particals we can observe
[ And a reasonable answer …. ]
plug7771: it has the same mass as normal matter
antimatter is the mirror image of matter. for every normal particle there is a mirror image
so for a proton, there is an antiproton
antimatter has the SAME MASS as normal matter
an antiproton has the same mass as a proton
it is oppossite in CHARGE, SPIN, etc
[ I still don't know where he got this silly idea from …. ]
Earthplay: we are on a ecliptic, a saucer, thats all we see
Earthplay: within the sphere of the ecliptic
Woofo the Woo: no, we can see in every direction in space, not just the ecliptic
Earthplay: woofo, we only survey 3% of space, give me a break!!
Woofo the Woo: look in ANY direction in space, we can see stars and galaxies, (with a few minor blind spots due to gas and dust)
Woofo the Woo: earthplay, look up in ANY direction, you can see stars, not just the ecliptic
Earthplay: you can see yes, but can you detect movement…no
Earthplay: not without instruments
Woofo the Woo: tyes, we can dtect ANYTHING in ANY direction, whether its stars, galaxies, the cosmic background radition, whatever
Earthplay: I seem to be getting angery, i need to walk away, brb afk
Woofo the Woo: there are only a few minor "blind spots" where we cant detect astronomical objects, due to gas or dust lanes
[ Some ANTI SCIENCE …. ]
JiMBoB471: scientist's are like hookers you pay them they'll say anything
errol-g3: the scientists quest for glory …. to hell with other forms of life! sad!
technologyofSpirit: You dont need to waste your life on PHD and learning on bord education and sitting down killing yuor brain with boredom to earn living
smittyloveman1: question the scientific community claims to know much about the chemical make up of the human body why then can they not from a baby human in the lab?
[ In the following, "plug7771" points out a glaring scientific error in a "lecture" being played in the chatroom. The response was to eject him from the room and ban him.]
plug7771: haramein compared the Phi ratio to the Planck constant. but the first is a dimensionless number, the other depends on arbitrary human units. no meaningful comparison!
plug7771: he compares a DIMENSIONLESS RATIO to a dimensioned number, that is an elementary error
Earthplay: banned
esotericx10: Good riddance
errol-g3: keep him out of the think tank
[ And finally, a selection of woowoo Word Salad …. ]
esaction: 432 is a fractal within the planetary grid geometries
Earthplay: the electric universe is not an atmosphere ( enviroment )
pointsixoneeight: then you torsion field(aura)
accelerates to superluminal speed launching your aura into the air. same as nazi ufo tach but with that 2 ounces of hydrogen that holds your conscious frequency
HUP HUP: comets capacite the sun, they seem to cause sunspots and act like magnetic orbitals that according to science, drag time behind them
Donnie Darko_1_1: ok lets look at basic science of an atom , there is protons, electrons and neutrons right? positive a negative and a neutral
Donnie Darko_1_1: the universe is the positive with tons of energy and the retraction is the negative and the neutral is maybe the fractal?
pointsixoneeight: golden ratio fractal nesting
pointsixoneeight: go build a phi dimension pyramuid and stick a capacitor in it
pointsixoneeight: you'll get a shock
