It looks as if it were a riddle to find a treasure map, but it's not ☺

-The Sun is not a star.
-Planets are stars.
-Stars are not suns.
-Earth is not a planet.
-The Moon is not a satellite.
-New stars are not created.
-"Old" stars do not die nor explode.
-Stars do not collide with each other.
-There are not new planets being found.
-All stars move in the same trajectory.
-Wandering stars move in different trajectories.

It’s not a riddle, it’s straight gibberish.

This is an excessively long Jeopardy answer. The question is, “what is geocentrism?”

Basically, this is a description of how things looked under pre-telescope geocentrism. (As in, the sun revolves around the Earth, and the stars are on a fixed sphere.) Back then there was no concept of a “satellite”, but if there had been, the moon wouldn’t have been considered one.

-All stars move in the same trajectory.
-Wandering stars move in different trajectories.

Ummmmm…

This is a poorly-written way of saying that the stars of the “fixed sphere” move at the same trajectory, while the “wandering stars” (planets) don’t.

This is also stupid and suggests that they don’t quite understand what “trajectory” means. The stars near the poles have vastly different apparent trajectories (from the geocentric view) than the ones near the equator; the former appear to orbit the earth more slowly and in a tighter circle than the “faster” equatorial ones. I think that they meant “same relative position”. (Of course, they don’t do that either - they’re orbiting the galaxy at different speeds and positions, but they’re so far apart that it takes thousands of years to measure the difference without modern tools.)

If it helps, remember: in geocentrism, the earth doesn’t spin. Day and night are because the sun orbits the earth.

So that job interview at NASA didn't work out, eh Arse Callol...?!

Yeah, nothing that hilariously wrong could lead to an actual treasure. Maybe a chest the crew took a dump in before burying, but certainly not treasure.

I was thinking this one might be so basic they don’t know what trajectory OR same and different are.

The only map you need is one pointing the nearest astronomy center.

Very creationist, no?
You cannot compare two flat earth statements, that'snot how their logic works. They examine and deal with and refute one idea at a time, in series, then stop thinking about it and move on.

To quote Munchkin Cthulhu, the stars are confused

- Lizards are monitoring us
- Pizzerias are actually illuminaughty headquarters (they work on the Nude World Order!)
- Birds are government spy devices
- Earth is banana-shaped
- Hitler is actually Antarctica (yes, the continent!)
- Arlo Calles has actually any clue what they are talking about

REALLY? You’re back in the days when they thought that Galileo Galilei and Nicholas Copernicus were wrong, back in the Dark Ages.
