@Daiel there is

Who?

Lots

As if scientist dont do their own independent research and just get all their info from books

Yes, but they're usually outcasts . their job security is threatened if they speak out

some of them do lie

im bad

@Citizen Z Is there a specific example you have or...?

@Daiel name one scientist that measures the earth

not all scientists have access to a private lab 24/7 where they can do -whatever- they want

🥺

Agreed some do lie but most just ignorantly repeat lies

Hey gooey

<a:cockroach:625641374871584768>

@Citizen Z Eratosthenes measured the earth

@Daiel so you believe a 2000 year old story?

@Citizen Z yes

Kek

@Daiel then you believe the bible also?

@Abe Lover no

Lol

Well, it's not really a story so much as an experiment

Jesus = fake
Eratosthenes = real

Cuz science

What?

No I was referring to Citizen

The *why* isn't really all that important. Any answer is conjecture.

@Vir Magnus if you cant think of one reason then you should move on with your life

@Abe Lover so the entire reason for the world lying about the shape of the earth is "just because"

they do if most of it is profit

Then what's even the point

this deception took multiple lifetimes to pull off, no?

How much does it cost to go to the moon and back? @Vir Magnus

they dont go to the moon that much dude

they go to the international space station with a bunch of other countries

alot of that is spent on R&D

because it was the anniversary of when they went to the moon however many years ago
