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
@Deleted User when is they word in the message.

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?
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
Avware#3516 LANGUAGE!!!
How would you be able to concur that those 2 objects actually attracted each other by using empirical evidence? You can't get accurate coordinates with your normal telescope
Creeper
Someone pinged me i cant see rn
Yes and I’m explaining how
aww man
