Blogs: Assigned Entry #2: The Helical 'Model' of Our Solar System

In August of last year, a man that goes by the handle 'DJ Sadhu' created a video on the supposed working of the solar system. According to him, the solar system is a helix that corkscrews throughout the galaxy. From what I knew, that did not sound right, so after a quick Google search, I found a rebuttal.
After reading the rebuttal, I decided to check his website. Apparently, he described it this way because his New-Age religion describes it this way. In addition, he has many other controversial and categorically false videos and posts, such as anti-Vaccine propaganda, MMS (using chlorine bleach as a dietary supplement) nonsense, and September 11th conspiracy theories. Needless to say, he is an expert only at making attractive videos.

  1. Interesting and eccentric topic to base this assignment off of. Maybe he chose to give out false information on the solar system because it is not something that people thoroughly study? If we were a little more knowledgable on what was going on around us maybe someone would have made a rebuttal even sooner.

    1. I think he really believes it; some people just aren't right in the head.
