The fake universe

Like all mysteries, the discussion of the universe is always based on a bunch of theories. We've had hundreds of them over the years, some truly probable and others downright ridiculous.

There is one theory about secondhand information that is certainly true, secondhand information cannot be trusted. You see, you and I will never go into so called space so we have to take what the experts tell us secondhand. History is full of false truths and lies as the winner writes the narrative and always inflates the outcome to suit their agenda. 

Let's take the image (note: Not a photograph, therefore somehow interpreted) of the MeerKat image of the furthest point in the universe. When viewing this it is apparent that it first of all looks like a close up of some braaivlies fire and has no relation to what we actually see with even our most powerful private telescopes, begging the question of course is "what use is this image for human beings?"

Surely all this money spent is wasteful and fruitless expenditure and could have been put to better use here on earth where problems needing money are a plenty, but unfortunately our obsession with things we cannot fathom seem to generate millions of dollars.

Humans like to bask in the glory of their accomplishments and we often have over inflated perceptions of ourselves and we keep on reminding ourselves how great we are. Therefore we believe that anything is possible, which in  a sense of personal and collective perception is partly true. However when we start delving into the mysteries of the universe and hand out fake moon rocks to universities to perpetuate the interest there is a serious flaw in our scientific evaluation of these so called science Gods. Just like the flat earth theory, nothing adds up when you test the heliocentric theory either. The world long distance Photograph stands at 450 kms.

There should 14.5 kms of drop at the end of the picture and that is clearly not the case. The shoreline is visible and refraction does not conveniently bend the view up from 14.5kms for your pleasure. No one has ever been to space and never will. Like NASA has publicly stated that we have NEVER been out of lower earth orbit. Research Flat Earth.

We live in a world where facts and fiction get blurred
