And with FE in particular I would guess that this wasn't something he brought to the table initially, but something he stumbled on and was persuaded into which later led to having a bias to confirm. Purely guessing it was YT but either way would like to know what his take is.
Heliocentrism simply does not add up and I've instinctively known this for a very long time. All the anomalies which have already been mentioned ITT that I could never come to terms with for example:
Daytime full moons
Seeing Venus or Mercury at night
The obvious fact that the moon and sun are the same size
Only seeing one side of the moon
Complete lack of visible curvature anywhere
Perfectly circular star trails around polaris NO MATTER WHAT SEASON IT IS
Unchanging constellations
The disappointing let down when watching a launch on TV, and they cut to CGI before any curvature is shown
And yeah, I stumbled on YT FE vids one night without searching for it, it just popped up in my feed and I thought i'd check it out. That got me into watching the moon every night and realizing that virtually NO ONE knows SQUAT about the lunar cycles or when you can expect to see the moon come up. Not to mention the fact that people are always so surprised and confused when I point out the moon in the sky during the day.
It simply does NOT add up. ONLY ONE anomaly DESTROYS the entire theory. 3 is ALWAYS smaller than 5. If you ever find an instance that it is not, YOU START FROM SCRATCH. Truth does NOT CHANGE.
