Well duh Kun
Duh what?
Because it would go against how the sun is actually observed and what the mainstream theory is pushing for what planets are
You know with the sun being in the center and all that
Also I don't think I've ever see anyone say "planets don't look like planets"
It's just that planets aren't what earth is that's all
Anybody who has observed the planets through a telescope knows the planets are NOT simply moving lights. This is the flat Earth claim. Maybe you haven’t spoken with as many FEs as I have. They believe planets are simply blurry lights that appear as lights in water because of the ‘waters above’. Now, since you don’t believe that, but believe they are celestial bodies, where do they exist? Within the dome, or outer space?
Most FEs don’t believe in outer space, hence the reason for the conspiracy (to make us feel insignificant and not connected to god). But it seems you may believe in outer space.
No I know that they think they're moving lights in a sense but most will say that they don't know for the most part
There are a lot better photos and videos of so called "planets" so yeah
You can even look at them yourself
No one is truly denying their existence or anything
Okay, so on November 11 Mercury will be passing between us and the Sun (transit of Mercury). If the sun is local, this would mean Mercury is even closer to us in this dome than the sun, correct?
We can predict the transits of Mercury and Venus with great accuracy because we know the orbits of the planets and it’s been observed for hundreds of years. The transit of Mercury happens quite often.
I wouldn't say that there is a dome
But other flat earthers would say that all these "planets" and all of that are already in the dome already and are closer
Passing between us and the sun though? Eh I'm a bit iffy on that one but we'll see
Well you can check out the amateur videos and photos of Venus (2012) and Mercury (2016) transiting the sun, and you can verify all the past and future dates of this occurrence.
So if you believe there are planets, do you believe in outer space?
I think they're something for sure lol
Some think we're on "the floor of the universe" and all that
There are a lot of factors that don't work if gravity doesn't exist or at least the way people think it works isn't right
If gravity didn’t exist on Earth, then masses/objects would be weightless. Gravity gives weight to mass
We can prove that mass attracts mass towards their centers with the LAW of Universal Gravitation. Do you trust this LAW?
The greater the masses, the greater the force of attraction. The greater the distance between their centers, the weaker the attraction. That’s it. Since Earth is a MASSIVE object, all objects on Earth will attract toward its center.
As I said it would put a lot into question if there wasn't any gravity but simply stating there isn't any gravity means everything would be weightless
We used to believe other things before we knew about gravity, there is always a better explanation
Well if gravity wasn’t real, then a force would be REQUIRED to force all objects DOWNWARD
Do you agree?
Downward?
Yes
Why Down? Why aren’t objects forced in any other direction?
Are we talking about gravity in general or on earth?
On Earth, but the same is true in space. In space the direction to which things are being attracted is down (since there is a mass attracting it)
Uh
gravity is the direction in which mass travels through time
:dab:
It isn't exactly attracted down though
How so?
down is relative
