have we tested the speed of light in space
yep
bounced laser off the moon
so we have to trust teh space agencies told us the truth
timed the travel
no, space agencies are just part of the scientific community
speed of light was measured long before space travel existed
If a person does an experiment and proves it through other people of the same field doing the experiment, what's the problem?
by mit off the moon yet nasa defenders will still swear that experiment is proof we landed on the moon and left reflectors there
well that is one of the pieces of evidence
but the fact taht we brought back pieces of the moon is another compelling piece of evidence
I think it means that you use math to calculate using known variables
the moon rock that turned out to be petrified wood ?
that piece of the moon ?
no that wasn't one that was brought back
Anyways, I got something at least;
https://www.askamathematician.com/2014/02/q-how-fast-are-we-moving-through-space-has-anyone-calculated-it/
didnt we give a moonrock to a country and it turned out to be petrified wood
no,, the netherlands ambassodor lied about getting a moon rock, and everyone in his country believed him
those aren't handed out like that
especially not to some random ambassador
He said it must have been secretly switched out with the real moon rock
And how fast is the Milky Way Galaxy moving? The speed turns out to be an astounding 1.3 million miles per hour
thats slow though lol
tell me again how we are better at space travel now than we were in 1969
human space travel
manned space travel
Well, since it would take 225 million years for the sun to complete orbit around the galaxy, it is very slow.
idk 1.3 million mph seems fast
Relative to the vast scale of such a universe, pathetically slow it seems.
"Seems fast" is not mathematical nor scientific
Yeah, it is subjective
I tend to focus on what can be proven by general observation and experiments ordinary day to day people can do, so this galactic orbit isn't really that interesting to me anyways.
I think things like earth rotation can be proven by general people in principle, as well as earth shape, no space agencies or scientific journals needed
yes but u observe a boat that appears to be going over the horizon and its not proof positive it is going over the curve it could be an optical thing
their is a second option other than it going over the curve
<:Redpill:551640293372329984> 👀
right off the rip when u look out at the ocean the water appears to be going higher than ur feet thats what we observe we know thats not correct though right
?
"it could be" isn't really a valid refutation. We observe obscuring, no hypothetical needed, onus is on someone else if they want to insert a hypothetical to explain it away.
I think flat earth will have a very hard making a comeback in light of this
so our first observation when we look out to sea is not correct with reality
It is the case because of our perspective in relation to the distance.
Same is true with objects decreasing angular size with distance, it is a demonstrable and known fact of reality.
