Beautiful Zeppelin Metaphor Destroys Flat Earth Nonsense



Here's a new video explaining what I call the "Zeppelin Metaphor" to help us understand why the Sun, Moon, stars and planets make arcs which rise up in the east, angle overhead, and "cut down" into the horizon in the west at different angles depending on our latitude, and why those arcs all lean towards the north for observers in the Northern Hemisphere, and lean towards the south for observers in the Southern Hemisphere.

I decided to make this video after watching the brand-new crescent sliver of our Moon just after New Moon, setting in the west accompanied by the planet Venus, while driving through New South Wales, Australia in the vicinity of Canberra (Australian Capitol Territory) -- obviously in the Southern Hemisphere.

That same night, a friend who lives near Tokyo (obviously in the Northern Hemisphere) sent me a photograph of the same sliver of the New Moon, accompanied by Venus, but from the perspective of an observer in the Northern Hemisphere.

The "Zeppelin Metaphor" explains just why this happens -- and why it makes perfect sense if we live on a spherical Earth globe (which we do, although of course technically speaking it may be more of an "oblate spheroid" than a perfect geometrical sphere). 

On the other hand, it seems to me that proponents of the extremely suspicious "Flat Earth" will have an extremely difficult time explaining these celestial mechanics and how one can account for these different arcs from the perspective of a supposed "Flat Earth."

I conclude with a few thoughts about the likelihood that the entire "Flat Earth" nonsense is an operation -- a political operation designed to distract and discredit those who are investigating actual lies told to the men and women of the world by agents of oligarchy.
