2. Went into upper atmosphere by the moon

2020-01-11 21:59:08 UTC  

3. Land on the moon

2020-01-11 21:59:13 UTC  

tell me what experiment that WE can do

2020-01-11 21:59:17 UTC  

Ohhh

2020-01-11 21:59:17 UTC  

I am standing on Earth

2020-01-11 21:59:21 UTC  

what experiment can I do

2020-01-11 21:59:35 UTC  

Well what would prove it for you?

2020-01-11 21:59:51 UTC  

I can't think of any experiment I can do to prove they are solid objects. that's my point

2020-01-11 21:59:51 UTC  

Make a spaceship and go there yourself would be one way

2020-01-11 21:59:53 UTC  

same for satellites

2020-01-11 22:00:02 UTC  

turn on gps

2020-01-11 22:00:05 UTC  

not sop hard

2020-01-11 22:00:06 UTC  

so all I can say as a scientist is that I observe a light in the sky

2020-01-11 22:00:06 UTC  

Um well heres the thing with satalites

2020-01-11 22:00:25 UTC  

They're built on the ground

2020-01-11 22:00:34 UTC  

So you know they're solid

2020-01-11 22:00:50 UTC  

Because they're made out of metal and powered by solar pannels

2020-01-11 22:01:03 UTC  

but if I see a light in the sky I can't prove it's the same object that was built on the ground

2020-01-11 22:01:26 UTC  

using the scientific method

2020-01-11 22:01:31 UTC  

Thats what telescopes are for dude

2020-01-11 22:01:39 UTC  

thats for the observation step

2020-01-11 22:01:51 UTC

2020-01-11 22:01:58 UTC  

here is the scientific method

2020-01-11 22:02:02 UTC  

And the experimental step, you can't do a test without being able to see

2020-01-11 22:02:05 UTC  

the telescope provides the observation

2020-01-11 22:02:09 UTC  

you form a hypothesis

2020-01-11 22:02:13 UTC  

then do an experiment

2020-01-11 22:02:17 UTC  

You do the obeservations during the experiment dummy

2020-01-11 22:02:28 UTC  

Remember highschool?

2020-01-11 22:02:36 UTC  

omg

2020-01-11 22:02:44 UTC  

the process is above

2020-01-11 22:02:56 UTC  

Yes

2020-01-11 22:02:57 UTC  

that is the scientific method

2020-01-11 22:03:22 UTC  

You need a telescope to do the experiment, you need one to see objects in space unless you have super powers

2020-01-11 22:04:15 UTC  

It's not following the scientific method that makes you a scientist, its the doing experiments and recording what you see and being able to critically think about it that does

2020-01-11 22:04:29 UTC  

so describe the experiment using a telescope that proves a planet is a solid object

2020-01-11 22:04:47 UTC  

Well we're on one right now

2020-01-11 22:04:52 UTC  

and it IS The scientific method

2020-01-11 22:04:56 UTC  

that makes one a scientist.

2020-01-11 22:05:18 UTC  

if you do an experiment without a hypothesis you are not following the scientific method

2020-01-11 22:05:35 UTC  

so please explain the experiment
