Chaotic Astronomy

In this episode, we’ll look at a couple of bogus attempts to undermine science related to Lunar and Solar astrophysics.

I apologise for the somewhat erratic sound/volume in this video. I did not record it all in one go, and I have no idea what I’m doing in iMovie. The next one will be better.

To those who were referred to me by DonExodus2, thank you for checking out my videos and I hope you’ll like what you see enough to subscribe.
To DonExodus2 himself, thank you very much indeed for your support.

Various multimedia in this video was created by NASA/ESA/JAXA/ESO/Berkley/Exeter

Errata:
1. I apologise, this is just completely wrong. It was thought up until 1965 that Mercury was tidally locked to the Sun, but was proven to have 3:2 spin orbit resonance. That means for every 2 years on Mercury, there are 3 days. One Mercurian year is about 88 Terran days and one Mercurian day about 59 Terran days. I think I was once told that Mercury *was* thought to be tidally locked with the Sun, and confused that to mean it was the current consesus. Again, sorry!

The pilot episode of ‘CrAP Debunked’. If you liked this video, please help to spread it. Various images/videos produced by ESA/NASA/ESO.

Errata:
1. The phrase “Infinite volume hypothesis” is incorrect here. I meant to say either “Infinite density hypothesis” or “Zero volume hypothesis” (each implies the other).
2. Typo. The proton is in fact around one TRILLION times smaller than a full stop, not one billion.
3. Typo. This should of course read “..YouTube account”. Thanks to Agnostic1 for making me aware of that!
