But there has to be a reason for that right?

but so what? more than likely you and I aren't going to confirm it.

And it doesn't work the wayy you learn it at school on a flat earth

it's irrelevant w.r.t Earth's shape

why not?

nobody says it's a thin disk

we don't know what is underneath

because you are pulled towards the center and someone standing eg in Australia would stand at an high angle

no

we have no clue what the mass distribution is

under the surface

so you cannot make any predictions.

right.

so forget about it

funny how we used the nuke tests to probe the earth's content

worry about the things we CAN see and measure

we've only drilled 8miles

p and s waves were doing some funky things

irrelevant

around the world p and s waves from these blasts keep chaning velocities at the same depth

focus on finding/measuring curvature

we were able to keep detecting these changes in velocity

and there were several places where we observed this

fun stuff

angles of them bouncing off were really interesting too

let me see if I can find some diagrams

irrelevant

assumptions on top of assumptions

direct observations from measurements just because it doesn't agree with you doesn't mean you can throw it away

we have no clue what is under the surface

yes. bcs it assumes you know what is underneath

and we don't

lol we didn't

it wasn't until like the 60's we knew

that's the point

we stil dont know

!!

"reeeeee"

So this is fake?

This is basically what caused Isaac Newton to drop his right club banger @Toastlawine

. Usually, they use seismic waves, which are waves generated by earthquakes or nuclear-test explosions. ... So, scientists study the path and speed of these waves through the earth to decipher boundaries and the materials that make up the layers.
