[QUOTE="JSRG, post: 77362913, member: 418772"] You can only get up to 14 apparently by fudging numbers. For example, it says "the speed of sound is 666 knots per second". First, knot is a measurement of speed, so knots per second is like saying "miles per hour per second." It should simply say "knots" rather than the nonsensical "knots per second". Second, if I look it up, it seems the number is 667 knots, not 666. Thus the numbers seem fudged. Third and finally, even if it was 666 knots, why does the matter? What relation does the [I]speed of sound[/I] have to a [I]round Earth[/I]? None! The speed of sound would be the same whether the Earth was flat or round. A rather impressive number of errors it managed in the space of nine words! As noted earlier, I have no idea where the claim of gravity being 666 newtons comes from, as far as I can tell it's 9.8. It claims Peggy Whitson spend 666 days in space. This seems to be a false claim. Now, I assume the graphic was made a while ago, because due to a new trip this year she's up to more days than that (see [URL='https://www.space.com/38691-peggy-whitson-astronaut-biography.html']Peggy Whitson: Record-Holding Astronaut[/URL]). So even if that was true in the past, it's no longer true, and thus it's defunct. But this seems to have been a false claim even when that chart was made, because before the current trip, she had spent 665 days in space (see [URL]https://www.npr.org/2023/05/22/1177567288/spacex-nasa-peggy-whitson-iss-international-space-station[/URL]), so this seems to be another case of the chart fudging the numbers. I expect if I were to look into more of them, I would find even more errors. This is to not even get into how desperate some of these are (having to change between different units to find its numbers) or the fact that any that are not six hundred and sixty-six on the dot are completely irrelevant anyway, because the Book of Revelation calls that out as the number, not anything that just happens to have three 6's in it.
