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

2020-03-06 06:13:37 UTC  

if it's mass, so what. it's not mutually exclusive to a flat-surfaced earth

2020-03-06 06:13:58 UTC  

and doesn't impact the fact that all attempts to measure curvature, fail

2020-03-06 06:14:03 UTC  

it's a red herring

2020-03-06 06:15:17 UTC  

So you think that gravity just doesnt exist?

2020-03-06 06:15:26 UTC  

stop trolling
