Flat Earther Proves Earth Is Moving…Without Realising (Oops)

Added: 2026-05-06

[00:00:00]Recently, we've been breaking down the flat Earth of David Weiss interview on the Bradley TV podcast. And I chose this because it seemed like every single one of Dave's beliefs is contained within this interview. So, I thought let's have a look at the whole thing and debunk all of his nonsense once and for all. This is part seven of that mini-series. Here we go.

Right then, back to today's video, which is part seven of the David Weiss interview on the Bradley TV podcast. Today, he's going to talk about the stars and the constellations.

[00:02:13]If you want to see the other six episodes we've done on this so far, I'll leave a link for those in the description. We start today's video as the host of the podcast, Bradley, starts to make some claims of his own. Here we go. Now, why don't the stars change?

[00:02:30]They've been the same stars for thousands of years. How come the North Star, which is right above the pyramid, how come it's still there? Well, it's not.

[00:02:39]Polaris sits almost directly above the North Pole, not above any specific building. The Great Pyramid of Giza is around 30° north latitude. So, Polaris appears around 30° above the horizon there, not directly overhead.

[00:02:53]>> Yeah, supposedly, if we're cruising through this infinite spiraling, you know, universe, so you would think the stars would change cuz if I get in my car and I drive to California, changes. The scenery changes. So, you would think it would change. What I've heard, and again, I don't I'm not down these rabbit holes. I'm just asking you cuz you might be.

[00:03:13]Why aren't the stars changing would be my question to a globalist? And the only thing I've heard one say is because the it's we don't see the star, we see the light from it. And and it and the and the light takes millions of years to get here.

[00:03:28]>> Billions. Yeah, so so that's why cuz we only live 100 years. If if you had lived if you live a million years, you would see it change. But because all we're looking at is the light from the from the past. Yes, starlight takes years to reach us, but that's not why stars appear fixed. Even if light arrived instantly, they'd still barely shift because of the enormous distances involved. You see, the stars do change, just not on a human timescale. They are so far away that their movement is incredibly slow from our perspective.

[00:03:58]Over a lifetime, they look almost fixed.

[00:04:01]Over thousands of years though, they do shift. They actually move through space, and that's called proper motion. Given enough time, constellations will distort completely. We've measured this and even simulated it.

[00:04:14]>> I I say cool story, bro. So, light when it's goes, it spreads out. It's called it's called the inverse it spreads out according to the inverse square law. So, as the farther away you get, the thinner it gets. The analogy I give is if I got a balloon, I just put a little air in it, the rubber is the light. And if I blew it up to 2 ft wide, that rubber's pretty thin. If I blew it up to 100 ft wide, could you even see the rubber?

[00:04:35]It's the same thing happens with light.

[00:04:36]It spreads out and spreads out. It doesn't laser come towards us for billions of years. That's what they want you to believe. The balloon comparison treats light like a solid surface thinning out, but light is energy spreading through space. Even when it spreads, some of that energy still reaches your eye or telescope. Stars are insanely bright. Even after spreading over huge distances, enough light still reaches us to detect. But they say that when the pyramids were built, that, you know, what the Earth is wobbling. Brad, check check this out.

[00:05:12]They they say the Earth is wobbling, right? And a 26,000-year cycle, 1° per every 72 years. And they say 2,000 years ago when the period or whenever the pyramids were built, that it was lined up with another star called Thuban, and that was our North Star. And we just happen to live now when it points at Polaris. And in 2,000 years, it'll point towards somewhere else. Cool story, but we've no way to verify it cuz we're not going to be here for 2,000 years.

[00:05:35]We don't need 2,000 years, we already have the past. Ancient astronomers left written star records. There's Egyptian and Babylonian and Greek observations, and they recorded star positions and risings. And when we run the physics backwards, guess what? They match perfectly. Thuban was closest to the pole around pyramid times. Polaris is closest today. In the future, it'll shift again. We can calculate and verify all of this with the data they So, they say that we're so far away even though we're traveling 4.4 4.5 billion miles a year never to return to where we were before.

[00:06:14]And we're going 186 million miles from one side of the sun to the other every year. It's so far away, there's no parallax. Right? Parallax is when things move like this, you know? When you see things move in the distance. Cool story, but the wobble of the Earth, that [snorts] can't be that that would get rid of cuz if we're wobbling, it's like when you're zooming in on something and you move the camera a little bit, everything just moves in the distance.

[00:06:37]Well, they say 1° every 72 years. 1° is two to three full moon widths in the sky. So, if I had two full moons side by side, I'm trying not to make the 666 symbol so people don't freak freak out. Um that would be a degree. Earth's wobble, which is called precession, does not cancel out parallax, I'm afraid, Dave. Axial precession is slow and smooth. 1° every 72 years, which is around 0.014° per year. Now, parallax shifts are measured over months, not decades.

[00:07:09]They're completely separate effects.

[00:07:11]Now, have you heard of the Georgia Guidestones? Yes. All right. The Georgia Guidestones were an astronomical calendar and clock. And there's a thin little straw hole that you look through and there's Polaris. It's been there since it was built in 1981. And so, we went there and we looked through and did a time-lapse, and Polaris is staying right in that hole. Well, it's been up for over 40 years, so it would be at least one moon width out of that hole, which is significant, but it was still there in the middle of the hole. I made a video about that.

[00:07:38]It started going viral. It was uploaded to hundreds of channels. And then, about a week later, a terrorist blew up the Georgia Guidestones, and 3 hours later, the bulldozers were there, knocked the whole thing down, stole the time capsule, and no investigation ever happened.

[00:07:55]Is that a fact? Fact. Look it up. Dave made his video on the Georgia Guidestones in early 2021. The Guidestones were damaged and subsequently pulled down in July 2022.

[00:08:06]That's over a year later. There was an investigation, and of course, it had nothing to do with astronomy. Polaris staying in that hole though is not surprising. Polaris sits very close to the North Celestial Pole. So, over a few decades, it barely shifts in the sky.

[00:08:22]See again, then why wouldn't someone just stick a hole like go out with a pole and stick a hole where we They did.

[00:08:27]It was up for 41 years.

[00:08:29]I had a I actually had a pipe in my backyard bolted to my house that I can see Polaris. And I had it up for years.

[00:08:35]Right? My parents weren't happy cuz I put a hole in the side of the house to do it, but I was fascinated long before I was a flat Earther. I was just like, "Wow, there's Polaris." And I could always find Polaris by looking through the pipe.

[00:08:45]But we they they made one for us, and it was there, and the pyramids are there, but now everyone's the story is, "Oh, well, it didn't point towards then." But we have we know when the Georgia Guidestones were built, we know that Polaris was still in the hole.

[00:08:59]There's also another place called Coral Castle that has a um has a little X in this pyramid this this pillar.

[00:09:07]And this Polaris actually makes a tiny little circle, and it shows you what season it's in by going around that tiny little circle. It's basically stationary, but it's a tiny little circle, and that's been up for a long time.

[00:09:19]Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.

[00:09:21]Every single flat Earther in the history of the flat Earth movement has always said that Polaris is fixed and does not move. You have just said this. Polaris actually makes a tiny little circle, and it shows you what season it's in by going around that tiny little circle.

[00:09:37]It's basically stationary, but it's a tiny little circle. What you have just explained there, Dave, is the sidereal versus solar day difference. Why does that difference exist if we're not orbiting the sun? A sidereal day is how long Earth takes to rotate once relative to the stars, which is 23 hours 56 minutes, whilst a solar day is slightly longer, 24 hours, because Earth has to turn a bit extra to face the Sun again as it orbits. Because of that difference, at the same time every night, say midnight, a star will be in a slightly different position than it was the night before. That is why if you record Polaris' position at the exact same time every night, it will trace a tiny circle over the course of a year.

[00:10:22]He is talking about and observing a real effect here. But that effect requires Earth to be orbiting the Sun. No orbit means no 4-minute difference. No difference means no seasonal sky shift.

[00:10:35]But crucially, Dave is admitting that this exists. You cannot make this up.

[00:10:41]It's just brilliant. And is there any better way of finishing a video up than with an admission like that? I don't think so. So it's time to wrap up another video for another day. Please do let me know in the comments below what you thought of that one as well as the gaffe at the end there from Dave. As I say, we're done and dusted for another one. I've been SciManDan. Have yourselves a great day, and I'll see you tomorrow for a refresh of the Flat Earth Challenge. See you then.
