They are not exactly comparable.

@^Kevin^ Can I ask what type of education you have?

So, nothing Physics related?

Why act like you do know that it is flat?

If your only knowledge about physics is extremely limited, why act like you know better than those who have spent much more time studying it than you?

Have you taken any optics classes?

Most people understand perspective, but optics is more complicated than that

What do you mean the sun's light is local?

I only see the light diminish when it goes behind the clouds

The time it takes for light to get from the sun to the Earth is about 8 minutes I believe, hence the delay.

If that's what you're talking about.

Exactly, that's because it takes time for the light to get from the sun to the earth.

And then of course there's the curve, allowing light to stay over it and refracted internally off of the atmosphere

Where's the proof that the sun and moon are the same size?

We can and we have determined it

No, because we can predict the movement of the other planets in the solar system. That's why we are able to land stuff on Mars.

Cosmology isn't astronomy

How accurate is it?

What all does it predict?

Then how did the astrolabe work?

How were they able to predict this stuff?

If they couldn't measure it, that is?

The shape of the straw is not the same as the shape of the nozzle.

There's less of a surface area for the air to push the vehicle forward

Why is that not CGI, but NASA's photos are?

Those are two different scenarios

No, they are different.

A feather and a rocket are different in their composition and structure.

A feather is made up of a bunch of loose parts while a rocket is one solid object.

Could you people listen? I've tried saying that when the gases in a rocket evacuate the chamber that they are in, the leave out through a cup shaped nozzle. The gas accelerates because the diameter of the nozzle changes, resulting in a force. Newton's Third Law, the opposite force is being applied to the cup of the nozzle

@tripolarbear Only when it suits them it seems

The gas is pushing on the rocket, the gas isn't pushing off of the air

@^Kevin^ Alright, what about what I said then

Yes, and the gas is pushing on the rocket as it is leaving the fuel chamber.

No, Kevin. The gas is pushing on the rocket as it is leaving its tank.

Kevin, the rocket is NOT pushing off of itself.

KEVIN, the rocket is NOT pushing off of itself

The gases leaving the rocket are applying a force to the rocket to propel it forward

No, Kevin it doesn't. The gas is combusting and expanding.

It is being forced out because of this.

Kevin, are you reading what I'm typing?

The combustion process isn't occurring in a vaccuum it's occurring in fuel tankks

They are separated off from the vacuum

The fuel and the oxidizer are separated until they need to be mixed

You can't ignore everything I just said and then say it doesn't work. You haven't given a reason for it to other than, "its in a vacuum"

I'm currently getting a degree in Physics and Chemical Engineering

Are you deliberately ignoring the whole part about "may be assumed" ?

Do you know what a manifold is?

It's a geometric object that locally resembles Euclidean space

For example, a circle is a manifold that locally resembles a line.

And a sphere is a manifold that locally resembles a 2D plane

Which is why over short areas, the Earth can be treated as flat because locally it approaches 2D Euclidean space

That video is working off of the assumption that rockets are propelled forward by gas pushing off of something.

That's not how rockets work.

I really don't want to repeat myself again

Its getting really old

What is thrust?

What is the definition of thrust?

Do you know?

I'll say it again, Rockets have nozzles at the end of them that are responsible for how they work. I'll link a diagram of it.

https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/rockth.html

Heres the image

No it doesn't. Thats not what thrust is

thrust is a force

its not a wave

the CONTAINER is the nozzle of the rocket

its pushing off of the nozzle

Heres the diagram again. https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/rockth.html

Check it this time

Calling out them for being Nazis is a bit hypocritical considering the way you were talking about transgendered people earlier.

You don't even know if they were legitimate Nazis or were just forced to be a part of the Nazi regime

@tripolarbear Yeah it's like 2:30 in the morning here.

@Citizen Z Do you even know what half of the words in that list mean?

@What does that have to do with vaccines?

Besides, the stuff you would get from something like that isn't contagious.

@Citizen Z what sort of background in medicine and biology do you have?

Do you realize how much that 1% actually is?

How many people even got Polio in the first place?

Oh, sorry .1%

my point still stands

What exactly does that chart prove?

I also see a number of other stuff like Penicillin being developed.

And the Influenza pandemic came after the mention of clean water facilities

Oh, sure. Clean water definitely improves and helps with that sort of thing.

Something like Influenza though is airborne

Some stuff is transmitted through bodily fluids

Basic hygiene and diet will eliminate most of your basic problems

You are incorrectly assuming a relationship based on just a couple of numbers.

The fact that there are more people who are being diagnosed with autism nowadays does not mean that vaccines are the necessary cause of it.

@Citizen Z What do you mean?

@Citizen Z We've also had a rise in electronics

And a rise in CO2 emissions

We've also had a rise in memes?

Memes=autism?

Maybe vaccines=memes/

Yes but you understand my point. You are ASSUMING a relationship between an increase in vaccines and an increase in diagnoses of autism

How do you know it didn't?

In the past several years there has been an increased awareness of mental illness

maybe more people are being diagnosed with it because we have a better understanding of what autism is?

I don't know man maybe Twitter
