FlerfHub Deep Dive - Bob the Science Guy

Lore

Medical researcher turned science communicator, Bob blends academic rigor with a calm, methodical style. He’s known for dismantling pseudoscience with clarity and patience, often using real-world experiments and historical context. Runs the Shamrock Banks Observatory, officially registered with the Minor Planet Center at Harvard, where he tracks comets and near-Earth objects.

Trivia

Published multiple peer-reviewed papers before pivoting to science education. Operates several channels including 'ResearchFlatMoon' and 'Slide Rules and Mathematics'. His observatory streams live telescope sessions and citizen science projects. Once built a functioning radio telescope in his backyard to demonstrate signal triangulation.

Hub Updates

The Minor Planet Center at Harvard tracks asteroids, comets, and assorted space rocks—presumably before they try to crash our satellite-free dome. Trusted by scientists, ignored by flat Earth forums, and baffling to those who believe Polaris hasn't moved since Babylon.

Bob once strapped sensors to a balloon, sent it to the edge of space, and brought back high-altitude evidence that shattered dome talk and pancake logic. The flerf response? Accuse the cheese payload of globe bias. This snippet explores Bob’s mission architecture, trajectory logic, and the curious rage it triggered from those who think GPS means Government Positioning Sorcery.

In livestream duels with various flerf operatives, Bob deployed mathematics, diagrams, and polite exhaustion. This snippet captures his iconic rebuttals — from lunar parallax demos to low Earth orbit logic — and the awkward silence that follows when density-based debates crumble under actual physics. Not every flerf retreat is audible, but Bob makes sure it’s measurable.
