What I've learned is there's no definitive model of FE that all agree upon with the exception that it is flat. Some have different understandings of what globers consider celestial bodies to be, what's going on subsurface, other implications relative to religion/philosophy/conspiracy - it's a very diverse community.

2020-03-06 04:32:02 UTC  

I understand that its very diverse but for the flat earth to exist at all there has to be a model describing how every phenomena we experience is happening on a flat earth, for example if you cant describe the coreolis effect and seasons at the same time then how is it actually happening in the real world.

2020-03-06 05:26:50 UTC  

Phenomenon can occur without our understanding though right?

2020-03-06 05:29:55 UTC  

In specific cases i guess but the ones that happen on earth can easily be explained by a globe model but not so much my an FE model

2020-03-06 05:43:12 UTC  

forget about models

2020-03-06 05:43:21 UTC  

can we measure curvature or not?

2020-03-06 05:45:57 UTC  

yep

2020-03-06 05:46:18 UTC  

the ancient greeks did it

2020-03-06 05:46:46 UTC  

and we now have satellites which have confirmed the size of the earth

2020-03-06 05:46:55 UTC  

the horizon

2020-03-06 05:47:03 UTC  

the radio horizon

2020-03-06 05:55:31 UTC  

Yeah people have been measuring curvature since atleast 200 B.C

2020-03-06 05:56:15 UTC  

Thats probably off by many years but weve been doing this for a long time

2020-03-06 05:57:44 UTC  

actualy my guess was suprisingly close lmao we first calculated curvature in 240 B.C

2020-03-06 06:03:21 UTC  

hopefully we aren't talking about Eratosthenes

2020-03-06 06:03:36 UTC  

His calculation assumes Earth is a sphere

2020-03-06 06:04:11 UTC  

and to date nobody can send me ONE publication in a peer-reviewed journal showing direct measurement of Earth's curvature

2020-03-06 06:04:27 UTC  

I've looked myself of course in the scientific literature database

2020-03-06 06:04:34 UTC  

and couldn't find one

2020-03-06 06:06:27 UTC  

if we had that, we could simply read the Methods section, replicate, and this all would have died 5 yrs ago

2020-03-06 06:07:04 UTC  

but still waiting

Sorry i cant browse the internet at light speed

Coming from the man called Flat Earth "PhD"

2020-03-06 06:08:25 UTC  

I have a PhD

2020-03-06 06:08:28 UTC  

Chemistry

2020-03-06 06:09:15 UTC  

And thats very cool, i actually love chemistry. but has nothing to do with flat earth and never said you didnt have a PhD

2020-03-06 06:09:20 UTC  

so I had access to databases like SCI

2020-03-06 06:09:43 UTC  

which I also used to search for studies involving microgravity that cited the ISS in the Methods section

2020-03-06 06:10:39 UTC  

so you do beilieve that gravity exist>

2020-03-06 06:10:50 UTC  

?

2020-03-06 06:11:09 UTC  

I know that things fall down at 9.8m/s^2

2020-03-06 06:11:27 UTC  

And what causes this then

2020-03-06 06:11:50 UTC  

I don't know. No cause has ever been proven.

2020-03-06 06:11:57 UTC  

but it's irrelevant to me

2020-03-06 06:12:04 UTC  

the cause I mean

2020-03-06 06:12:21 UTC  

bcs it's not likely something I will ever be able to test/prove myself

2020-03-06 06:12:33 UTC  

So your saying that no one knows why things fall down?

2020-03-06 06:13:01 UTC  

I say no. originally it was mass-attracting-mass right. now it's space-time

2020-03-06 06:13:08 UTC  

neither have been proven

2020-03-06 06:13:18 UTC  

but it's irrelevant
