see thats the thing, im not here to dispute what you claim, just to see the sort of psychology behind it if you will. part of a social anthropology assignment
its incredibly interesting to me that you guys completely distrust established organisations like nasa and governments, just want an insight
So, you're not here to learn about the flat earth, just how people think the earth is flat? @r/scottishpeopletwitter
Who said we donāt believe NASA?
We simply donāt believe them when we Know theyāre lying.
sorry, you cherry pick information which suits your claim but discredit other things (the blue marble springs to mind) therefor you can't really claim to be unbiassed can you?
That sounds like an argument from incredulity
Cherry picking?
not an argument from incredulity, just wondering why certain information is distrusted while ^^ info is.
Why donāt you cherry pick your globe earth equations where we can observe, measure, and experiment with it ourselves?
Oh right. Because you donāt have any.
@r/scottishpeopletwitter Are you here to learn about the flat earth? Yes or no?
Or are you here only in attempt to learn how people think the earth is flat?
well in my physics class, equations are often simplified to exclude air resistance and things of the sort as they are negligible at such scales, much like how i imagine that that equation you posted is, to simplify it as factoring in the earths rotundity and rotation is not neccessary
yeah i agree in as much as gravity doesn't exist but current physics models including those presented by einstein suggest its effects are observed due to space-time curvature
Literally no one on earth can test the **"curving of space-time"**
no, but its effects can be observed. much the same as you don't witness a murder but can still use evidence to find the killer
Literally nobody can present any space time to experiment on
Where are these observations of space-time curving?
I can't see it curve
I call rubbish

which is why it is presented as a theory. i know you folks hate theories, but the whole point of them is to create a predictive model of our existence to benefit humanity. All the science greats were not tripped by the dunning krueger effect, they realised how little they knew despite their theories working

your argument is flawed, i cant see the earth form therefor it never happened. i cant see jesus, therefor he didnt exist.
The theories donāt work. Thatās the problem.
Thatās why your argument fails.
theories have predictive capability, thats why we can create a model which will accurately predict the weather a day from now. its based on theory, yet the calculations work
Theory is synonymous with belief. When mainstream pseudoscience is teaching people to Believe their theories, that ceases to be science. Itās religion.
Theory fails.
although if you erased all religious texts then they would never be recreated the exact same way. destroy science textbooks however and people will figure it out again
