Has anyone else seen the new fiver

 

Ah, Sugar Plum Fairy taking a walk on the wild side, doo doo doo doo doo etc!

 

If you read all of that link, you will have your answer. It can wait until the Windsors have been exposed as reptilian overlords, though

 

Indeed, but also the Fairy I was referring to wasn't a 'he' but a 'He', not a plain he.
See what I did there? He he he.

 

My #320 consists of some joshing comments on almost every post on this thread; including your #319, but it definitely wasn't a response to any of your questions. I wouldn't take it that personally, man.

Yes, bill was big but the job was well done on the car, so no regrets.

 

Whoa, steady on, we'll have JTaylor steaming in if we head down the 'He' path!

 

lol

 

Think of it as a challenge

 

Has anyone else thought about the amazing coincidence that the sun and moon appear the same size

 

That's not always the case though, is it?

 

always worth a watch on threads like these

the great line is "science counts the hits and the misses"

i.e. you can't cherrypick in science - you will always get found out eventually

 

'Talking to the dead is easy: getting the dead to talk back is the hard part'

 

True but still pretty amazing they are so close in size

 

not if you've half a brain

 

Big assumption on this thread

 

The sun is 400 times the size of the moon and it's nothing remarkable that the distances apart make them appear exactly the same size .

Depending on the time of the month

 

And why is it warmer in Britain during summer and colder in winter . That seems like a stupid question but what is the answer , without using Google ,like I should have

 

Aaand we see things because of light reflecting of things and then going into our eyes so , since the light from the sun takes 8mins to hit something , are we seeing things from 8 minutes ago

I'm thinking I should re evaluate how I cross the road

 

Is this question for a flat or a globe earth?

 

I guess physics wasn't a great subject for you at school.

 

That's a great point I'll ponder the implications this afternoon

 

I got a 5 so no , not great ,

 

ahah, yes

I watched it again and chuckled at that too

in a way just another form of cherry-picking

 

Anybody ?

 

And all the stars we see in the night sky may not actually physically exist any more at this current point in time.

 

Indeed it is, but you could accurately claim to talk to the dead without contravening any scientific conventions. As long as no one asked what they said in reply!

 

I remember hearing that as a kid ,

It's actually a serious question about how we see in time and not 8 mins behind , I'll have to Google it.

The question about temp in summer / winter was a bit of a trick , most people I think ,think it's because we are closer to the sun in summer but actually the opposite is true , we are something like 9 million miles further away in summer , it actually has to do with angles (allegedly ) although is the sun not directly above us at midday in the middle of summer ?So that would be the reason why lol

 

Now , considering it is warmer because the suns rays hit us more directly during summer and the 9million kms closer in winter doesn't make up for that , why is it warmer if you travel just a few hundred miles south ?

 

"See in time"? It's to do with the distance you are from the object you're looking at!

I thought flat earthers thought that the sun was only 3000 miles away!?

 

It makes sense I knew it would .

I remember thinking as a kid if you could travel faster than the speed of light you would be able to see things from the past , I still believe that's true
