proof our eyes are crap and our mind see's what it wants (not what actually exists)
a faulty mechanism of the human brain.. it fills in the blanks and guesses if it has to.

Like the curvature of the Earth?

well yeah LOL

when you see the sunrise it doesn't actually exist where you see it.. it's an illusion !
if you fired a tracking laser beam at what looks like the sun at sunrise and then checked
where the beam actually went it would shoot past the real sun.

people believe all kinds of dumb crap..
like the earth is round.. it's not.
shaped more like a football.

why ?

simple.. gravity.
people know there is a tide but many don't know there is a tidal bulge
that draws up the entire planet and has a matching bulge on the opposite side of the planet.
creating a football shape effect.

there is a combined effect from the sun also (it too contributes to the tidal bulge)

i seen a show that speculated with science what would happen if the moon vanished.
it would be catastrophic !
300+ foot tsunamis would ravage the planet.

We wouldn't be here if it was not for another planet the size of mars plowing into us long ago..
The moon enabled the planet to have conditions that allowed us to be here.
Otherwise procession would be far too extreme far most any advanced life.

If guys don't know procession is the wobble the earth makes when it spins around.
It's like a spinning top.. it wobbles one way then back to the other every 26 thousand years.
And it's the moon that keeps that in check.. otherwise the swings would be far more wild.
Not only did the moon help stabilize us that way but i know it slowed the planet down too
from 8hrs to 24hrs and that in turn lowered wind speeds etc

With out the Moon we wouldn't be here.
People don't factor in any of that stuff usually when calculating how much advanced alien life must be out there.
We had a lot of luck in our circumstances to get a moon like we got.
No other body in our solar system has a moon proportioned so large in comparison to earth.
That skews the odd's when crunching the numbers for Alien life estimates.

Because then you can't just count how many planets are out there like ours..
But how many had a collision in it's infancy and had the collider's core merge with ours
and then subsequently create a moon.. all timed perfectly.
That is another major factor too.. the core of earth !
If we had no collision with another planet our core would probably be cold like Mars is thought to be.
So that would mean no magnetic shield protecting us from the sun over the years.
(the earths internal dynamo generates the magnetic field) that stretches out almost to the moon.

And although the moon moves something like an inch and half away each year it will always be with us.
Scientists calculate the Sun will expand out and engulf us before the moon breaks away from us.

Ya uhh the picture LOL

That is maybe the best picture i have seen on the web.
Who can see what makes this picture special ?

The horizontal bar in the above image looks gradated, moving from light to dark gray in the opposite direction as the background. You may have already guessed it: This is just a trick of the mind. If you cover everything but the bar itself, you'll see that it's actually monochrome.

The so-called "simultaneous contrast illusion" is similar to the checker shadow illusion shown in the first slide. The brain interprets the two ends of the bar as being under different illuminations, and deduces what it thinks the bar's true shading would be (if it were lit evenly along its length). It deduces that the left end of the bar is a light gray object in dim lighting. The right end looks like a darker object that is well-lit.
