In this episode we look a Disinformation Dozen member Larry Cook and his efforts to recruit the members of other conspiracies to the Anti-Vax Movement.
We also look at the role of 'information groups' on facebook and other social media outlets. In these groups, trained 'informers' apply the anti-vax script to people coming for 'information' about vaccine hesitancy, with a goal of converting them to anti-vaxxers.

The only requirement is you have to only use flat earth mathematics, you can't use any reference to the globe. The money is in escrow and waiting for a lucky flerf to use the flat earth to find the locations where the sights were taken. No flerf has met the challenge yet, and only one tried, but used a sphere to do his calculations.
As proof that the challenge is real and the money is available, McToon offered $100 in bit coin to the first one to use any method (including the globe) to find where he took three star sights with a basic app on his phone. It was solved using the globe earth in 4 min.
In this episode, Bob goes through this navigation exercise, using the globe to find the position the sights were taken accurately.

This will enable me to permanently mount the telescopes and do a fine polar alignment for astrophotography.
In this series we'll head out to the garage and do some metal fabrication for the leveling mounts we design. We'll learn to cut metal, build and level the mount, dealing with the problems and challenges of working with the two main kinds of telescope mounts- the Alt/Az with an equatorial edge and a German Equatorial Mount.
In this episode we look at the needs of the mount and work out the design. Then we cut the first plate. We'll cut the second plate and do the dry fit in the next episode. Then we'll look at the special needs of the German Equatorial Mount. In the final episode we'll fabricate the mount for the big Meade and the Alt/Az Mount.

This is a table top exercise to show how that is done.
GHA of Star = Greenwich Hour Angle to Aries + Sidereal Hour Angle of the Star. GHA of Star is the Longitude of the GP of the Star.
Latitude of the GP of the Star is the Declination of the Star...
Note, as the earth rotates, the GHA to Aries and the Declination change min by min and second by second. The Sidereal Hour Angle to the star does not change.

In the last few months, I've gone over a number of ways to determine the radius of the earth.
1/ The Method of Eratosthenes- This method uses the shadow cast by the sun at its zenith. Refraction is minimal, and by using three points we not only find the radius of the earth, we effectively rule out the flat earth.
2/ The Method of Al Biruni- By measuring the dip angle to the horizon from a known elevation, we can use basic trigonometry to find the radius of the earth. We do have an issue with refraction, but we still get the radius within 2-3% and we can correct for it.
3/ Great Circle Distances between known coordinates with confirmation of the actual distance between those points. With this we rule out the possibility of a flat earth and confirm the radius of the earth.
In this video we introduce two new methods:
4/ Aristarchus of Samos worked out the geometry to use common observations (specifically observations of the lunar eclipse and the angular size of the full moon) to determine the distance to the moon in terms of the radius of the earth and the size of the earth in terms of the size of the moon. By solving these values with radar, laser and parallax determinations of the distance to the moon, we can determine the size (radius of the sphere) of the earth.
5/ Kepler's Third Law- by using the distance and period of the orbit of the moon and the period and the altitude of the orbit of the ISS. Subtracting the 400km altitude of the ISS from the resulting radius of the orbit of the ISS we can determine the radius of the earth.
Note, at the end of the video, I have the orbital distance to the moon for all dates in 2022. You can do the math yourself for practice.

On a flat plane, this distance would be determined by solving the third side of a triangle formed by connecting Perth, Sydney and the North Pole. On a globe earth, it would be determined by the Haversine Formula. The actual distance between Perth and Sydney (1778 Nautical Miles) will allow us to rule out one of the two possibilities.
As an added bonus, I go over Brian's understanding of Spherical Geometry/Trigonometry, Great Circles and Rhumb Lines.

In this episode Bob the Science Guy calls out Mitchell from Australia for using a Skiba Lens style parlor trick to falsify a rather silly flat earth claim.
For a different approach to debunking this video (that it only has to do with changing focus rather than zoom), see this: youtu.be/ovsRJotuMZs
Note, the easiest way to determine a flerf is faking an observation is if it actually agrees with his claim. This is a classic example and Bob rips him a new one by pointing out how he manipulated his observation to yield a false conclusion.

We examine angular measurements using the mil dot sight reticle as a teaching aid. With the sextant, is there an adjacent side, much less a bendy one?
The thumbnail is another example of angular size, using your hand as a guide to measure the angular size of objects in the sky. Next full moon see if if you can use your little finger to estimate its angular size (hand at arm's length). The angular size of the moon is roughly 1/2 degree.

In this comprehensive video, we go over all the functions of the E6B in one episode.
Note: When dealing with slide rules, the 1 or 10 mark is called the 'INDEX'. We have an index on both the C and D Scale (the white scale and the black scale). There is also a 'Rate Index' in the shape of a black triangle on the white C scale. This is the 60 min mark.

Unfortunately he has no more understanding of Great Circles than he did of Gyrocompasses.
We go over straight line vs great circle distances in this video and I correct Brian on the Haversine Formula and its' uses. Otis the Cat and Little Missy helped with the video.
NOTE CORRECTION:::: Michael pointed out a math error I made. When doing the Law of Cosines to determine the distance between Perth and Sydney, I made an error and reported the distance as 3.51 inches. It is actually 3.87 inches which compares well with the 3.85 inches I measured. The flat earth distance is over 4400 NM, the Haversine gave it as 1777 NM and the actual distance is 1778 NM. The globe earth is verified by distance and the flat earth is ruled out, again.

We look at specialty rules to include the Faber 2/83 (created in 1975 and considered the best slide rule ever made), the E6B and Landing Distance Calculators in Aviation and the Fuller Computer.
W Scale, Fuller Calculator, E6B, Landing Distance Calculator, M23, Graphical Firing Table for Howitzers.

We look at additional scales on these advanced slide rules to include: Folded Scales, Log Scales, LL Scales, Split Scales, and Inverted Scales.
Example making use of these advanced scales are included.
This is from a live stream with additional material. In our final episode we would look at specialty slide rules from Aviation and the Military, as well as non-standard sizes (pocket 5 and 6 inch rules, 20 inch rules and the fuller calculator).
