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.
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.
Phenomenon can occur without our understanding though right?
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
forget about models
can we measure curvature or not?
yep
the ancient greeks did it
and we now have satellites which have confirmed the size of the earth
the horizon
the radio horizon
Yeah people have been measuring curvature since atleast 200 B.C
Thats probably off by many years but weve been doing this for a long time
actualy my guess was suprisingly close lmao we first calculated curvature in 240 B.C
hopefully we aren't talking about Eratosthenes
His calculation assumes Earth is a sphere
and to date nobody can send me ONE publication in a peer-reviewed journal showing direct measurement of Earth's curvature
I've looked myself of course in the scientific literature database
and couldn't find one
if we had that, we could simply read the Methods section, replicate, and this all would have died 5 yrs ago
Sorry i cant browse the internet at light speed
Coming from the man called Flat Earth "PhD"
I have a PhD
Chemistry
And thats very cool, i actually love chemistry. but has nothing to do with flat earth and never said you didnt have a PhD
so I had access to databases like SCI
which I also used to search for studies involving microgravity that cited the ISS in the Methods section
so you do beilieve that gravity exist>
?
I know that things fall down at 9.8m/s^2
And what causes this then
I don't know. No cause has ever been proven.
but it's irrelevant to me
the cause I mean
bcs it's not likely something I will ever be able to test/prove myself
So your saying that no one knows why things fall down?
I say no. originally it was mass-attracting-mass right. now it's space-time
neither have been proven
but it's irrelevant
