The earth being round seems logical to me

imagine north pole at the center

move East

logic requires axioms

keep going

you will end up back where you started, right?

Interesting

but they said its the radiation is too high and we dont have the technology to survive through it for even a few days

@ChinaGirlNL what are your axioms to tell you erth is a bll

your compass would keep pointing north....so it would take you in a circle

But there exist maps with both the north and south as center

but doesn't matter. compasses will always point North. south would be the other end of the needle

@ibn la'ahad "The astronauts on the ISS do not regularly spend time inside the belts, but from time to time solar storms expand the belts to the orbit of the space station. In the 1960s, several Apollo crews went through the Van Allen belts on their way to and from the moon."

@Flat Earth PhD the picture is good but the suez cannel didnt exist in those days

there are lots of maps out there

@chad46 lol. never thought of that. not my pic

but same point

There are also upside-down maps with Australia at the center

yeah so you have to be careful with maps...we don't know the methods used to generate them

And orange-peel-like maps, so Hawaii doesn't get cut off

but anyway..just an example of how there can be alternate explanations that we don't learn in school....

we are only given one explanation for things

e.g. Big Bang/Evolution for the origins of Earth and life

Now I want to write a book about this... Just to see how my teacher would react

NOW you're talking! 🙂

I would give anything to be in your shoes right now. I'd have a blast with my teachers

Lol

they'd hate me. they don't reward critical thinking but obedience. memorization.

Me: Is it possible to change the atom Ds to Sr?
_1 year later_
Me: Read this book. Then try to disagree ;)

lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdBR3tDXyVw has anyone ever seen this before

Yes

(Inside joke: Ds = Darmstadium, Sr = Strontium, translate darm and stront to Dutch and you see why my teacher looked a little strange after that question)

In the evening, I saw that quite a lot actually ^

@ibn la'ahad What about it?

_I killed the chat..._

no no...
