A Physist from OZ says some things are impossible to photograph, such as a change in angle the of a vertical line, what do you think. Please note this guy has NOT tested his theory by actually shooting photos....

hmm, another conspiracy theorist? they never go away, don't they?

well, I looked at the site, and he is complaining that objects move while he thinks that they shouldn't move.
from my extensive panorama shooting experience, all I can say is that a handheld camera will always produce some sort of parallax error, and the video footage shows just that... no conspiracy at all, just plain old parallax errors due to shaky camera.

Interesting indeed, but there was a nice recent Mythbusters episode where they busted some of the NASA moon landing photography myths quite easily. Haven't taken a close look at the site linked, but I'd imagine it would face a similar fate with some extra scrutiny.

Another junk website trying to cover up shoddy thinking with fancy words.
Example: For "The images were corrected for pincushion distortion and perspective effects before being “stitched together” using advanced computer programs." read "we have a copy of PaintShopPro".
He uses the expression "scientists have proved" with no references. If you google " James H. Fetzer", the man behind these views you will discover that he is barking mad. Don't waste your time. David
