They did not go to the moon, look at this, you can see the moon in the background, they just staged in on the earth!

KSP is just propaganda to convince people the earth is round and that we can reach the moon, but it's pure nonsense!

"Yes, ever noticed what a compass does when it turns?"
yes, the compass keeps point to the center/edge of the circle! when you walk around the center you will see that it has made a full rotation, just like you on the earth!

You dont trust The Red Cross?
Tell me, without the RC, who would be helping people in countries that are in war, or after hurricanes, or other natural disasters?

The only things I can find, are that other people pretended to be charity funds, and they scammed, *not* the Red Cross

mhm, please give me the results you found then

ok, I'll see that as you dont have proof

my owners? na-ah, the people I trust.

But the government is controlling the internet, how are we supposed to find the evidence

I've tried it, but I couldn't find anything!

the dark web, hmm, good point

why not, the government has no power there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

mhm, working on it

I'll try

I'll let you know when I find something

Ok, I'm back, I was looking around some more on the internet (and the more hidden parts of it), and I found something about gravity not existing, but that the earth actually accelerates with 9.81m/s^2, which creates the illusion of gravity... But what is pushing the earth? And were are we going to?

geostationary? doesn't that mean an orbit around the earth?

"A geostationary orbit, often referred to as a geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO), is a circular geosynchronous orbit 35,786 km (22,236 mi) above Earth's equator and following the direction of Earth's rotation." - Wikipedia

@SAM101907 well, according to Einsteins theory about general relativity, the light speed is relative to us

moving doesn't create the effect like gravity

accelerating does tho

but what keeps us from floating away then?

wait, density keeps us down here?

doesn't that mean there is gravity?

sorry, just trying to understand

well, so do I

and if you want, I can get you some proof for general relavity later

not yet :P

well, I gotta go, I'll come back later! Cya!

you can see "normal" satellites with the naked eye no problem, you probably saw those

they looks exactly like stars, but move

you can also see the ISS, thats the same, but a lot brighter

there is a logic explanation for that, bigcal

in the middle of your are are more color sensitive cells, and less brightness sensitives, and to see a small light on a black plane, you need brightness sensitivity, but they're not there, when you focus on something

you can still see them if you focus just next to the satelite

please try that once, it will probably work

they flash? that sounds more like meteorites, do they drag a tail behind them, or is it just the object itself?

derp moment, I forgot about planes

dude, I'm just trying to give some logical explanations

but whatever

heyo

idk, 2 or 3, I think

I'm way to busy in other servers too

indeed, doing science costs money

ball sports, ew

can you give a summary of the video please, I can't watch it atm

hmm, ok

Random question: Has anyone received any weird DM messages from MEE6 (or any other bot) in the last few hours?

heyø

traveling

*wheres my :this: emoji*

ehh, 38h? maybe even a little more

so, it's nost *that* much

hi, classmate here, can you please explain it a little more

yes

thats correct

the `r` in the equation is the distance between the objects

how are you planning on taking a vacuum with you?

a normal vacuum chamber would be *way* too small to measure any difference

but a normal vacuum chamber is way too small to measure a difference in gravity

and bigger chambers are extremely difficult to make

with all the huge forces pushing on it

it's a fall of max 1m, you won't be able to measure any difference

how do you want to make a vacuum chamber of 2.6m tall

there are vacuum chambers that big, but it requires a huge foundation

and a lot of stuff to make it work

probably not, since there wouldn't be any measurable difference

thats why we have simulations, to prove it

jondar is just finishing his sim rn

you can also prove that by looking at the solar system, bigger distance from the sun => slower "falling" velocity

a globe/ball/sphere is the most stable shape, if the only force considered is gravity, because the force pulling to the centre (of the gravity) is the same from all angels.
so when a new star, planet or moon forms, it automatically becomes a globe, because all the gas and dust slowly falls together into a globe...

"we don't have the technology anymore"
when did anyone claim that we dont have the tech anymore, the space exploration tech is only improving, and we might get consumer space flight within the next few years

and we're even getting relatively close to sending humans to Mars

dont have != dont have the ability to make it

We still have all the technology to make rockets to go to the moon and beyond, elon musk is proving that over and over, but it takes a lot of development to make something safe for humans

mhm, people dont want to debate with him for two reasons: either they already agree with him, or they don't have enough valid arguments to prove the smart boy wrong

because there is a perfect balance between the gravitational force pulling the satellites down, and the centrifugal force pulling them out

@chad46

you simulate that with any mass on a string:
swing the mass around above your head, and the faster it goes, the harder its pulled outwards

and the string is the "gravity" and keeps the mass from flying away

try it, and you'll see that it works

want me to make a video of me doing that? as evidence?

thats also easy to explain with some simple logic
if you have a big cloud of dust and gas, and that collapses under its own gravity, it will form a ball, because that is the most stable shape for gravity
and that is exactly what happened when the earth was formed

you're living on the evidence: the earth

religion? nope, science

evidence of dust and gas forming a ball?

I assume you're trying to say that this is difficult to understand for you, want me to explain it further for you?

what kinda evidence do you want?

you keep saying that what I give you is not evidence, so what would you call evidence?

but all the logical explanations (which I'd call evidence) I've given arent enough for you

I've seen satellites and the ISS flying over, with the naked eye, I think that should be enough (for me at least) to confirm that there can be things orbiting around the earth

prove me wrong :P

give me *evidence* that I havent seen those things

what else could it be? someone with a flashlight?

I question a lot of things, but not science

how would you explain the day/night cycle? and seasons? if the earth was not a ball orbiting around the sun (which is also a ball)

I'd say there is a lot of science involved in getting something to orbit earth

and how would a flat earth take shape, during the formation of the solar system?
