The big book of all science
I mean even a 3rd grade book will do to prove a globe
Double standards only exist because they can't coherently provide a proper argument that doesn't fall into unfalsifiable claims or a war on credentials
But it'd be condenscending to say this when I'm the one responsible to prove my own damn claims
The simplest argument for arbitrary curvature measurement actually comes from Gauss
I wouldn't go as far as what Fluff is saying, there is a benefit of being skeptical of science
Science is skeptical of itself
But informed skeptism and FE belief are different
Yes
You need to learn something to disprove it
And most of the time I see misrepresentations
Isn't she a socialist Gwench?
At best?
The argument basically holding that if you line up a series of level fences or planks and measure the distance from one to the next it should be linear, but as you move outwards, the error starts to accumulate as a parabola or any arbitrary planar curve
It's a principle in differential geometry
@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS I’m not sure. Maybe.
You can figure out any random geometry using this method
Why does the website call her a communist then? @The Gwench
I love how people in the US are so anti communist but don't realise that their idea of communism is still right wing to the rest of the world
Cause socialism = communism
@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS Ask the author.
Imagine
I mean I don't know physics, it's boring and full of numbers. But basic science literacy and understanding how to read a scientific paper means I can get a wee clue of if something is trustworthy @Goldsteel
Also socialism isn't communism
Ree
It can be difficult though
Same
Physics is boring :3
Have you played arxiv verses vixra
No
It's a game about trying to tell the difference between real papers and fake papers that look real
I couldn't do that, not if it was a topic I didn't understand
I can only pull about 60% since some people write garbage papers and some fake papers sound plausible but make no new claims
oh that seems fun
People make a fake paper claiming they developed a new UV laser, bogus
The socialist studies non stem gross topics would get me every time
Man writes horribly flawed paper in M theory
Legit
The difference really is the citations
If the paper makes an outlandish claim and cites other papers on vixra it's fake
