we know things fall down at 9.8m/s2

and totally irrelevant to the shape of Earth

fyes

redherring

but why do they fall down at that speed

I don't know for sure. and as of my physics courses 20 yrs ago, nobody knows

but doesn't matter

I will never likely be able to confirm myself.

I care more about how far we can see objects

trying to measure curvature

because I cannot find a single paper in a peer-reviewed journal showing direct measurement of Earth's curvature

otherwise I could read the Materials & Methods section and replicate.

yeah i also tried looking

they are hard to find

I even spent a week trying to find studies involving microgravity that cited the ISS in the Methods section.

using CSI

found only a couple and it was only involving samples that supposedly spent time in the ISS

I found that odd given they are supposedly doing hundreds of experiments up there...if so...where are the thousands of papers that should be coming out of that

@Flat Earth PhD https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/funder/nasa/

this is a search engine for nasa's research

yeah NASA is already a discredited witness

I prefer to search using conventional science citation search indexes

that's how I approached it originally

it uses pmc

I can use PMC directly

or SCI

I don't need a filter for "NASA funded"

but it doesn't matter now. I'm 100% sure the ISS is on Earth

this was back when I was a glober and doing my own research

im pretty sure you can see it with a telescope

at the right time

seeing something doesn't mean anything

??

it means you saw something. unless you saw people through the window waving at you

I don't buy it

sorry

but you are free to

way too much evidence debunking it for me

and too little supporting it
