Awesome. Send me a DM of it when you're done
I understand that general beliefs are fundamental parts that make up morals and all that but what does the shape of the planet have to do with that
The only time it ever even comes to mind is if I have some spare time and am just thinking about random stuff for the hell of it
I just asked a question about applying to NASA tho :c
it has never factored into any part of my morals or major decision making
I could attack the flat earth model and the logic of it all but why do that when the concept of arguing over it doesn’t really add up in the first place
I know humans are competitive creatures by nature and will look for conflict where it may not even exist, but I feel like surely there could be a more fulfilling or logical conflict than arguing over the shape of the planet
I guess as humans we are curious beings and with that we need to excercise thoughts that may pop in our heads.
The cost of being intelligent is to become curious. Being intelligent separates us from humans and animals.
Well then let’s argue over the shape of the planet when space travel is widely available
I know curiosity and deep thought are grand concepts that have launched humanity eons ahead of other species
The thing is, space travel is not commercialized yet. So I guess debates like these will sprout up. Although the majority consensus believes the earth is round, there's nothing wrong with entertaining the thought of a flat earth model without accepting it and vice versa.
Absolutely
I'm just here to get a biased answer to a profession im interested in.
I know in the scheme of things I’ll always be hit with labels like atheist and “globe earther” I guess but those labels leave me misinterpreted by the vast majority
>Space travel is widely available
lol your average joe can't go to space
Because the truth is that I don’t want to blatantly attack any viewpoint
I’m honestly open to anything
I simply favor whichever has been further proven from my perspective
eons ahead of other species?
It’s a figure of speech what do you want me to say
like hundred years maybe
@Deleted User when is they word in the message.
when they are up to something

How can one use the scientific method to prove gravity?
Hypothesis: Gravity accelerates things towards each other
Procedure: Measure the forces and motion of large interacting bodies observable from earth
Just like how you would prove anything else through the scientific method? It's not difficult?
Use several sets of bodies to decrease possible error
How would you measure the forces and motion of large interacting bodies accurately?
Oh I'm so gonna take that last message out of context
Well for motion there are several ways
Depending on the distance you can use anything from triangulation by parallax to doppler shifts to hubble’s law
Or a combination
You would need a strong telescope, does your average person has the telescope of what NASA uses?
for forces use those measurements and use basic equations of physics to solve for the forces
To get results
You actually don’t and i’ll tell you why
You need a telescope that can track coordinates if you want to be really accurate but you can free hand it for a ball park estimate
