TechTranslate

TechTranslate The purpose of this account is to share my passion for explaining interesting technical and scientific facts that are not intuitive, often misunderstood, or simply odd. I'm always eager to learn, particularly when others provide context, correct me, or even prove me wrong. For unknown reasons, I have the urge to add the correct context to posts that state common misunderstandings or conspiracies. I primarily engage in this because conspiracy theorists are very active on social media and create a false sense of balance. Unfortunately, in recent years, I've encountered people in real life who were influenced by social media and believe in these theories, proving that this is becoming a real issue. This fact truly saddens me. I am realistic; I know I cannot convince the extremists or hardcore conspiracy theorists. However, I hope the context I provide will assist the undecided and vulnerable in making an informed decision. It's encouraging to receive so much positive feedback in recent weeks and to see that many people here are fed up with these conspiracy theorists. Happy Anti-Conspiracizing! 😉 Best regards ❤️ Geee from TechTranslate Technical and scientific facts explained step by step. 😃👍

At an eye height of 1.70 m on a spherical Earth with a radius of 6,371 km, the geometric horizon is about 0.04° below the astronomical horizon. Therefore, the difference is not visible to the naked eye. The horizon surrounds you 360°: ➔ In any single direction, it looks apparently like a straight line.

@TechTranslate_G 😂😂

Dear Flat Earthers, before debunking yourselves and asking me to explain it, please check whether I have already covered it. You may find it in the Highlights on my profile.

🛰️🌖 La NASA partage des images spectaculaires de la séparation du vaisseau Orion avec le module de service européen lors de la mission Artemis II. Peu après, la capsule entamait sa rentrée atmosphérique à près de 40 000 km/h !

@AdonaiOnGaia Because you’re standing on the surface and so small you’re looking at 0.0000134 of the surface Stop being idiots for clicks

@iLeedy1987 @AdonaiOnGaia 😅😂🤣 Marbles, these tiny nasty discs.🤣

@AdonaiOnGaia So you think marbles are flat?

If you're not a flat earther by now you're either 1. a paid disinformation agent 2. brainwashed so bad it's made you genuinely retarded or 3. simply a coward. The world is in a sad state.

@papaidaho This has already been explained. It is a very good demonstration that real-world observations comply with the equations of the spherical-Earth model.

@TechTranslate_G Explain this?

Dear Flat Earthers, just because there are no equations that can consistently explain real-world observations on a hypothetical "Flat Earth", that does not mean this is evidence for "Flat Earth". In contrast, all observations can be explained by equations on a spherical Earth.

@TechTranslate_G The Flat Earth community is led by grifters who are profiting off superstitions and uneducated people. Plus conspiracy theories abound today because of uncertainty and lack of trust.

@Mischa_e_k Why am I not surprised?😉

@d2fl Yep, this nails it. On top of that, social media algorithms amplify any nonsense that generates clicks and keeps people trapped in their echo chambers.

"Divided by half" does not mean divided by 2 nor the half of 90 but 90 divided by 1/2 = 0.5 ("half") Step by step 😉: (90 / 0.5) + 25 = 180 + 25 = 205

“90% of people will fail the simple math test are you the 1%??

A beautiful @NASAHubble image of the planetary nebula known as the "ant nebula" (Menzel 3, or Mz 3).

I took 1.7 million photos over 6 days to catch this photo of a commercial jet in front of the sun. The moment it happened, TWO floating prominences were visible, making this not just my best aircraft transit photo, but one of the luckiest of my career! Videos of the transit 👇

The stunning color of the far side of the moon, photographed by human hands for the first time since 1972. Advancements in digital photography over the last 54 years gives us a much better look at the moon's battered history. Photos captured by @astro_reid, processed by me.

The Sun last Saturday, active region AR4432: I realized that I had stacked the image I posted previously with the settings for my other camera. Now I’ve corrected it. Despite the difficult seeing conditions, the result now looks truly impressive.

💯👍 Yep, it’s like this: "If you think everyone else is wrong, maybe take a moment to consider that it could be you."

Just memeber this 🌎

This is a photo of the solar chromosphere, captured using a 6" telescope I modified to safely handle the intense heat from focusing the sun's powerful radiation By isolating the bandpass, vivid atmospheric structure starts to emerge That structure on the limb is 4 Earths tall!
