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?

lol

It’s a figure of speech what do you want me to say

like hundred years maybe

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

But here’s how you can measure movement

I think the hypothesis for gravity is mass attracts mass

who pinged,,,,,,

Use some form of celestial body distance measurement tool like I mentioned before
