  • Well, somehow this video turned the discussion around the existence of a god.

    It would make things much simpler if you think of god as an idea invented by man to cover up the plethora of missing information in the humans knowledge. e.g. when there's something u dont know why is happening, u just say god made it so, and that's it - the question is answered. god is great to cover up the faults in man and complement him. God is a great invention, but the space here is not enough to say it all.

  • How did we get to God on this video.. I mean shouldnt we be talking about David Scott dropping the feather and the hammer? Very good evidence that he was on the moon.

  • @DJGhese the hammer and feather were both held on fishing wire and pulleyed into the little pits where you see they land and the stagecrew lowered the two wires at the same rate as each other. The dude bouncing around had his own separate rope crew.

  • @NormanBatesIsMyMum mechanical flag

  • @coolstream1 Then you must abandon the flag waving idea

  • @NormanBatesIsMyMum the aliens did it! LOL!

  • great video

  • @weweallthewayhome It can be argued that it is a result of the weak equivalence principle, just not the version your used to in GR.

  • Gallileo was right....

  • @RockyBalboa211

    Not saying that he wasn't on Moon... just saying it would be cheaper to fake that on earth...

  • A wagon needs a loco to be pulled but a loco doesn't need another one to be pulled.

  • Two thumbs up for you! I agree...
