I was hoping that we could arrange my server entry interview.

@Citizen Z
I am somewhat less than certain what I might expect in that interview, some term and roles were mentioned, but I do not know what it would take to qualify for some of those roles. I thought that that part would be up to the person conducting that interview.

Yes, I have selected those roles. Thank you all for your help. I can see now that I was importing ideas about the interview from the customs and rules of other servers. <@&484512215764828162>

*** *** We do not really have scientific theory for gravity. We do not have complete explanation for its cause. We do have good observations of gravity's mechanics. When we can describe somethings mechanics in that way, we sometimes refer to that as a law.

The Cavendish Experiment is repeated at Universities all the time, and it was first done around the year 1800.

*** *** That would be interesting, I would like to hear more. I would think that anyone who disproved that experiment would be eligible for some substantial rewards.

*** *** Yes, if the strength of the attraction was that high, those would be possible results. But the experiment does not suppose attractions like that, it does rather the opposite and is designed to detect minute attractions.

*** *** If what you had said truly disproved the Cavendish Experiment then yes that would be interesting. And if you could disprove the Cavendish Experiment, I would be urging you to go to your local university and talk with them, they would be falling all over themselves just to attach their name to your radical new proof. It would make a lot of people famous.

*** *** The Cavendish Experiment shows that two bodies are attracted to each other. It also shows that the attraction is based on the mass of the bodies involved. It does not attempt to explain why that attraction is taking place. So, when you say that it is not an unexplained force that acts undetected over distance and is based on the mass of the bodies involved. And that it is instead an unexplained distortion in the fabric of space that is based on the mass of the bodies involved. That really makes no difference in the experiment, its results, or what those results show, because that all addresses why the attraction is taking place.

*** *** I feel confident that President Barack Obama was born in the United States of America. If there was any significant reason to think otherwise, his detractors would have made those reasons public. If he had not been born in the United States, it would take a large, well funded, ongoing conspiracy to have made it seem in all records as if he was. If I were to suppose such a conspiracy, I would need to explain what made Barack Obama in particular so very important to them that they would be willing to take such a substantial risk. Why wouldn't _they_ just put someone else into the position, why take the extra risk. What could possibly make that worthwhile. Add to that the idea that there is not sufficient reason to assume the existence of such a conspiracy, and I arrive at a fair degree of confidence.

*** *** I went to Wikipedia, and there I found a picture of Wernher von Braun's head-stone, in Ivy Hill Cemetery (Alexandria, Virginia), 2008. One can see, it does not give a quote, it offers a reference. Even if Mr. Braun decided to have that on his head-stone, that would not mean that his understanding of Ps. 19:1 was the same as someone else's nor that the translation he was using was the same as theirs.
Just because someone enjoys the poetry of a verse, does not mean that they embrace the concept of a flat Earth because of any interpretation of that verse, however sound that interpretation might be.
Furthermore, even if Wernher von Braun was shown to have fully embraced the Flat-Earth and a firmament dome for it, and that the rockets that he designed were not reaching outer space or the Moon, that would not mean that the Earth was flat or that there was a firmament dome above it.

@Steve Angell
I really do not see where I did anything of the kind. I certainly was not saying that I knew what Mr. Braun knew or was thinking, I was only pointing out that others had been doing that. I can right now point out that when you said, "He seemed to understand nothing up there except the Firmament." that you were making assumptions about what he thought and understood.
I did not suggest that Mr. Braun did not have an understanding of what the verse said. I did point out that it was unreasonable to insist that he simply _must_ have been using the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) in English, and no other. And that even if he was using the NRSV in English, he still might not have had the same understanding of that verse, or been quoting it with that same understanding.
I was also pointing out that even if it was accurate to say that Wernher von Braun embraced the idea that the Earth was flat, that would not mean that it was. The whole thing is a non-issue.

*** *** The Cavendish Experiment shows the attraction between two masses. It does not require that any of the bodies involved have the mass of Earth. It is designed to be performed in the presence of a large mass, the Earth itself, and to exclude the influence of that mass on the results of the experiment. It was first performed around 1800 and is now an experiment regularly performed at universities everywhere, every year.
