Science Proven Wrong Again

Average distance from earth to the moon, 384,400 km, rounded slightly:

I could have used Wikipedia. But Wikipedia is notoriously unreliable. As soon as a number gets reported the evil empire will change it just enough to make the numerologists look bad. For now, they seem to be in the ballpark to this site.


We've spread seen the distance from the Earth to the Sun is 93 million miles *on average*. Check. Miles could be used for this math without changing the ratio.


384,400/3,474=108 because GEOMETRY=108 in both ordinal and reverse. Even though if you do the actual math it's 110.65.


I'm not sure where or when this started but it's been getting repeated mentions recently. It looks like one of those "somebody said this once on the internet, so it must be true" kind of things.


The diameter of the moon only varies by about 4 meters depending on if you check the equatorial distance or the pole to pole distance. The distance from the Earth, that can be a lot different. There will be a time when the moon is "about 108 diameters of the moon away". If the Sun distance is "average" an ordinary, reasonable person would expect some consistency. But we aren't dealing with ordinary, reasonable people.

To be fair, this isn't just Dan, it's out there in other posts. Let's also be fair and emphasize he didn't freak out and complain that his daughter's homework was in kilometers, which is widely used across the planet.


Straight up 110.65 versus 108 is about a 2.5% difference. If it would be agreed that we truncate...sorry, vocabulary, ...drop the .65 and call it 110 it's still close to 2% off.


In theory, and probably for my own amusement I'll do it later today, some kind of similar calculation on the comparison of Earth size to distance from Earth to Sun can be done. I expect that this will probably be actually 108ish and the Earth to Moon thing was just tacked on to the story.


Censorship topics have reared up again because of deleted videos. Which for now I prefer to not weigh in on in regards to free speech on mass shootings. I remind you that I absolutely do not care if you want your family and friends thinking that of all things the word GEOMETRY has some significance to your system involving a matter of distances which are calculated with math. I also have the right to free speech and will do everything in my power to make sure that Wikipedia continues to report a much better number.
