Crime / Re: See What I Saw Inside The Tin Tomato I Bought In The Market (Graphic Photos) by dhardline(m): 2:11pm On Dec 29, 2020
This is so suspicious OP. The picture you posted looks like the other substance was infact added by you. The way they appeared its like you used your fingers to smear them on it cause the parts where the tomato paste is look so untouched and clean. If you wanted to be fair you would have opened like 2 or 3 more to confirm. This looks more like a smear campaign to me.

With the 99.9 percent survival rate millions of people have still died.

It perfectly makes sense to not use the vaccine and let people keep dying, right?

You obviously have little understanding of the workings of vaccines(take your time and research on vaccine injuries) . For a virus that had far less reaching effect on Africans, a vaccine not tested on Africans is then pushed to be used on Africans. Please I beg you if you are one of those who believe that the government loves you so much that they want you to live long but hoard food so you die of hunger then I don't have the energy to continue this discussion. Stay away from main stream media cause they'll never tell you the whole truth cause those who head this media organizations will always push their agenda.

If you throw a ball upwards, you will notice that, for a large chunk of it’s motion, the ball is not falling towards the Earth.

It is also not gaining speed or combat the Earth’s gravitational pull.

The reason it is not falling towards the Earth is that it is just going too fast in the wrong direction for that to happen.

Of course, the ball does eventually return to the Earth.

It returns because it is still going too slow to completely get away.

It is technically possible top throw the ball so hard that it will never return. Again, it does not gain speed on it’s journey, and nor does it combat the Earth’s gravitational pull. In fact, the motion would be impossible if it did.

There is an in-between condition… if you start out very high up and throw the ball at an angle, instead of directly away from the Earth, the thrown ball will arc around and fly back only to miss the Earth and continue on again. It can continue this motion indefinitely, if you are careful enough.

This condition is called an orbit.

The ball does gain and lose speed, like a pendulum does, unless the path is an exact circle. However, it does not have to combat the Earth’s gravity.

In these examples, the energy to “combat” the Earth’s pull was provided before the current motion: someone or some process has to get the ball up very high and throw it, which takes energy … and it is the same with the Moon.

The evidence is that the Earth and the Moon formed together, that is when the energy was applied. The “sideways” speed of the Moon stops it from crashing into the Earth.

In fact, the Moon is still slowly moving away from the Earth.

So technically the Moon does not hit the Earth because it is still climbing (it has not run out of upward speed yet). We don’t expect it to ever fall the Earth, though, because it is slowing into one of the orbital conditions.

Technically, the moon is falling to Earth. Constantly. But, it also has motion perpendicular to the pull of Earth’s gravity. These two find a balance in a curve of constant “falling” around the Earth. We call that an orbit. And because there is essentially nothing to slow the moons motion in space (no air, etc.), the moon keeps its motion fairly constant. No need to gain speed because it never loses speed.

Now, over very long time scales, the moon is actually moving away from the Earth due to intersections between these two bodies. The Earths rotation is slowing down and the moon moves farther away. Billions of years ago the Earth’s day was hours shorter and the moon much closer.

So, the moon is both falling to Earth and moving away from it. Simultaneously. It’s an fascinating world we live in.

My point is that the moon maintains an orbit due to its velocity, therefore there is a limit to which it can affect earths gravity, hence it can only cause tidal movements and not complete removal of water from earth's gravitational field. The moon itself does not completely overcomes earth's gravitational pull, it is only maintained due to its orbital velocity.

Very good explation even though it sound so good it still has flaws in it. Remember Astronomy is Theoretical science hence so much is based on ASSUMPTIONS and a lot of the responses from quora are still text book answers. Let's look at water bodies such as big Lakes, ponds and rivers. (does this same moon gravity have an effect of them?) Also if a man travels towards space he comes to a point of 'weightlessness' and just drifts in basically any direction with no effect from any gravitational force does it mean the gravitational pull of the earth or moon or sun just somehow misses this free floating individual? And do you know that what we refer to as gravity can easily be explained away on earth as density of a substance! Different gasses and liquids have different density hence the rate of free fall of a particle in them is directly dependant on the density of the medium.

The assumptions of Astronomy states that everything is moving at vast speed. The moon is revolving around the earth, the earth and other planets are revolving around the sun, the sun with all the planets with it are revolving around the milky way while the milky way is revolving around... You get the drift (remember at great speed) but even at this vast continuous movement the star *Polaris* has not changed by a single degree after thousands of years!

IMAliyu:

This where you proceed to learn about orbits.

Orbits are to put it simply, something falling towards the gravity of a body (planet, star, moon) with a large(r) mass.
but it maintains an angle and velocity that causes it to constantly miss the surface due to the curvature of the large(r) body.

Think of it this way, a bullet doesn't fly in a straight line, but a parabola because gravity is acting on the bullet pulling it down (and air resistance slowing it down). So what if you could fire this bullet at a height of 2000km from the ground and remove air resistance. How far will this bullet fly, before it's pulled to the ground?
Now account for the spheroid shape of the planet.
The bullet will keep flying, falling, but constantly missing the ground. This is an orbit.

Very lovely analysis I must say, I'm actually very impressed but there are still a lot of gray areas in this postulation. I'll start with this; we've been told that there are times that the earth is closest to the sun also when the moon gets closest to the earth, If gravity has the effect they say why does the sun not pull in the earth since at that point its obviously closer than it aught to be and like wise the earth doing same to the moon? Also we have been taught that rockets reach speeds that enable them to escape the earth's gravity so they can proceed to space; does the 'satellite' use this same velocity to escape or to remain in orbit? How do you explain the atmosphere not being stripped from the surface of the earth at such speeds through space having in mind the atmosphere is existing according to popular belief right beside a vacuum(No scientific law supports that). You are smart but all I want people to know is that it is not always what we think/have been taught. The more we learn the more we discover. Let me drop this quote.

“The theory that motions are produced through material attraction is absurd. Attributing such a power to mere matter, which is passive by nature, is a supreme illusion. It is a lovely and easy theory to satisfy any man’s mind, but when the practical test comes, it falls all to pieces and becomes one of the most ridiculous theories to common sense and judgment.” -Professor Bernstein, “Letters to the British Association”

What is a satellite dish based on? A land mast Pathetic undecided There are villages that do not have land masts but can receive high definition video with their decoders. A single land mast in a thick village will not be powerful enough to provide the necessary signal to receive waves and convert them to sounds for voice call in people's phones in all places but can be able to provide signals to receive waves and decode it to high resolution videos in people's dish/decoders? How ignorant can you be?

What about google earth or google maps? Is it based on land masts too? Or is it a computer generated image?


The problem you have is you base your argument on what you assume, have heard and what you watch in movies. Bro google is right at your fingertips use it. For Google earth they use planes that have scanning cameras attached underneath and this planes scan areas and then merge the all the photo together to get what you refer to as Google earth. Do your research bro. Also research on 'satelloons' too.

About gravity, I think gravity have much less effect on a fly than on large water bodies, the more massive an object is, the more gravitational pull it will experience. Remember density has a Linear relationship with mass of an object. My point is the force to hold oceans is different from that which holds a fly. Every object experiences gravitational pull differently. The magnitude differs

I appreciate your clarification. But let's also consider this according to your explation. They say the moon is being held in place by the earth's gravitational field right?! Is the moon not supposed to be pulled in towards the earth? They say the moon causes the tides because of the gravitational field of the moon?! If the gravitational field of the moon can slightly overcome that which earth has on the waters/waves in the sea then it should continually pull the waters up to space. I don't even want to talk about the so called 'satellites' cause more than 90% of all communications are based on land masts and underwater cables that span the ocean floor. I'm just very curious cause so many things are not just adding up but it's so unfortunate that the Nigerian internet space is majorly just filled with comedy and music and the average black man does not want to seek knowledge or study or research.

A science or commercial student won't think this way.
"If the earth is round and rotates then why does a plane need to take off and fly distances before getting to where it's going? " Show your children this statement if or when you have one and hear their reply.

Can you tell me what is holding the sun and the moon in place Why haven't they fallen to the surface of the earth? I don't have an answer for that yet so I won't just assume like the scientist that I do(like I stated earlier 'so many questions') . But from all indications the sun is smaller and closer than we think.

OP you should also answer this question

Let me give you a more worthy question.

A bullet moves at = 0.915km/s

The international space station moves at = 7.66km/sec

So the ISS moves at more that 7times the speed of a bullet. My brother think this thing na�.
Education / Re: The Earth Is Flat. Wake Up by dhardline(m): 6:13pm On Dec 22, 2020
I agree with you OP. The sun and moon are local luminaries. The stars are either in the firmament or directly above it. If the earth is round and rotates then why does a plane need to take off and fly distances before getting to where it's going? It should just stay on a point in the air and wait for the location it's going to, to come meet it then it lands. The disappearing of ships 'under the curve' has been proven to be myth by recent high powered zoom lenses which After the ships disappear under the curve with a powerful zoom lens the ships were once again seen whole on the water. What is gravity? If it has enough force to hold the weight of the oceans why can't it hold the a fly and prevent it from flying off? Someone said why is all the other planets and stars round? Do you know that we have never seen the dark side of the moon? All the images you have ever seen of a round earth are all CGI. All of it! So many questions my people. We should seek truth, ask and ask don't just swallow all that you are told and thought. Unlearn and relearn.

If they like let them approve all they want and ignore vaccine injuries. If covid did not kill as many Africans as predicted by Bill gates and Co then what makes us think the vaccines that were produced using subjects from US and UK will have the same effects on an average African. The rush will prove disastrous and we will not be able to take them to court as they will not be liable.

Health / No Need For Vaccines,covid Pandemic Is Over,says Former Vice President Of Pfizer by dhardline(m): 6:21am On Nov 30, 2020
While Pfizer pharmaceutical had made headlines on the release of their Coronavirus vaccine, a former Vice President and Chief Scientist of the company Dr. Michael Yeadon has said that there is no need for any vaccines to bring the COVID-19 pandemic to an end.

According to an article published in Lockdown Sceptics, Dr. Michael Yeadon wrote, “There is absolutely no need for vaccines to extinguish the pandemic. I’ve never heard such nonsense talked about vaccines. You do not vaccinate people who aren’t at risk from a disease. You also don’t set about planning to vaccinate millions of fit and healthy people with a vaccine that hasn’t been extensively tested on human subjects.”

His comments come at the end of a comprehensive criticism of the Scientific Advisor Group for Emergencies (SAGE), a government agency of the U.K. tasked with advising the central government in emergencies.

SAGE has played an important role in determining public lockdown policies in the UK, as a response to the COVID-19 virus.

Yeadon also highlights fundamental errors by SAGE in their presuppositions which cause their overall conclusions to go radically awry leading to the “torturing [of] the population for the last seven months or so.”

“ SAGE says everyone was susceptible and only 7% have been infected. I think this is literally unbelievable. They have ignored all precedent in the field of immunological memory against respiratory viruses. They have either not seen or disregarded excellent quality work from numerous, world-leading clinical immunologists which show that around 30% of the population had prior immunity.”

“They should also have excluded from ‘susceptible’ a large subset of the youngest children, who appear not to become infected, probably because their immature biology means their cells express less of the spike protein receptor, called ACE2. I have not assumed all young children don’t participate in transmission, but believe a two thirds value is very conservative. It’s not material anyway,” Yeadon wrote

“So SAGE is demonstrably wrong in one really crucial variable: they assumed no prior immunity, whereas the evidence clearly points to a value of around 30% (and nearly 40% if you include some young children, who technically are ‘resistant’ rather than ‘immune’),” wrote Yeadon

And considering the reality of herd immunity, when susceptibility to a virus falls this low, at around 28 to 35%, “that population can no longer support an expanding outbreak of disease,” and thus the virus “wanes and disappears.”

“The pandemic is effectively over and can easily be handled by a properly functioning NHS (National Health Service). Accordingly, the country should immediately be permitted to get back to normal life.” concludes Yeadon

Our legislators are part of our problem as regards this. They bill and charge this service providers unnecessarily. Who remembers Virgin Atlantic when they wanted to come into the Nigerian market? The greed of the legislators made them turn away. It's the same way they frustrate many other companies from coming to establish presence in Nigeria hence we keep experiencing the flight of business from our shores to neighboring countries making the youths jobless. The same legislators will corner the contracts from the various committees they form using aliases and end up not completing any of the projects (you would wonder why there is no law that will mandate any company that bids for a project must be the same company that starts and concludes that project and must not sublease it) or in worse case scenarios they sublet the projects at ridiculous amounts that those who procure can't do any standard work with the funds that is left... Till tomorrow I'll keep saying it, this legislators/legislooters are one of our major problems in this country.
