See, thats the beauty of the globe earth. We have an accurate model that can actually predict things

2020-01-19 00:01:18 UTC  

Plate tectonics are a theory.

2020-01-19 00:01:25 UTC  

yes

2020-01-19 00:01:28 UTC  

a unifying model

2020-01-19 00:01:33 UTC  

high predictive power

2020-01-19 00:01:37 UTC  

And predictions on a flat earth are just as easily made.

2020-01-19 00:01:47 UTC  

We observe.

2020-01-19 00:01:50 UTC  

what prediction can you make on a flat earth?

2020-01-19 00:01:52 UTC  

lmao

2020-01-19 00:02:01 UTC  

It has nothing to do with the earth’s shape.

2020-01-19 00:02:12 UTC  

@Derek Nelson but we have a problem

2020-01-19 00:02:22 UTC  

Yes it does, the FE cannot predict any stellar movement

2020-01-19 00:02:27 UTC  

why do we see faults where they exist?

2020-01-19 00:02:37 UTC  

and why do plates move?

2020-01-19 00:02:39 UTC  

Because you dont even believe orbiting bodies LOL

2020-01-19 00:02:42 UTC  

I think you can only know the truth if you have been both a globe earther and a flat earther, and you have genuinely believed in both.

2020-01-19 00:03:01 UTC  

This allows unbiased comparison

2020-01-19 00:03:17 UTC  

dude, the truth is simple.

2020-01-19 00:03:21 UTC  

The earth is round

2020-01-19 00:03:33 UTC  

@Derek Nelson please focus on this conversation

2020-01-19 00:03:51 UTC  

@he vibin tho would you give me a few minutes?

2020-01-19 00:04:00 UTC  

I don't think I'm sticking around much longer

2020-01-19 00:04:10 UTC  

@Amthyric We’ve never even seen a plate tectonic.

2020-01-19 00:04:17 UTC  

lol have fun, you wont get anywhere these guys like to spam pictures when they have nothing to say

2020-01-19 00:04:33 UTC  

@Derek Nelson do you know what plate tectonic means?

2020-01-19 00:04:39 UTC  

How can you claim that for sure, when you’ve never observed or measured them?

2020-01-19 00:04:43 UTC  

I'm a geology major

2020-01-19 00:05:00 UTC  

can you define a plate tectonic?

2020-01-19 00:05:00 UTC  

You’ve been over 100 miles deep?

2020-01-19 00:05:05 UTC  

hang on

2020-01-19 00:05:06 UTC  

Yes or no.

2020-01-19 00:05:12 UTC  

please define a plate techtonic

2020-01-19 00:05:19 UTC  

you said we have not observed them

2020-01-19 00:05:21 UTC  

Nah. You answer my question.

2020-01-19 00:05:24 UTC  

👀

2020-01-19 00:05:25 UTC  

No

2020-01-19 00:05:28 UTC  

You can say
"The truth is simple. The earth is flat"
500 years ago.
Now people say
"The truth is simple. The earth is round"
But how can anyone be sure that in the future people will not universally say
"The earth is cubical."
If we are not certain that our current model will not change and cannot be improved by changing the shape, then we can conclude that we don't have the right shape.

2020-01-19 00:05:28 UTC  

We haven’t.

2020-01-19 00:05:59 UTC  

because people 500 years ago didnt know jack. They were misinformed and also believed in unicorns and fairies

2020-01-19 00:06:19 UTC  

they are not 'plate tectonics' they are 'plates'
