You're looking at this the wrong way if you think there is an egotistic element in my posts. It's interesting because you're encouraging me to drop it and let you guys enjoy your echochamber. The fundamental issue, I believe, really is social pressure and group effect. You are incapable of addressing the incoherences of the heliocentric model and systematically default to the "it's not possible because too many people would have to be in on it" position. "Pseudoscience" is a BS term which, in essence, refers to anything which challenges the doxa.

Please spare me the pseudo-psychologism.

I say this respectfully, but you need to study this more in depth. Start with the Antarctic Treaty. We are not allowed to go.

The Final Experiment Sounds like a Netflix series. I will watch it tomorrow nonetheless and get back to you.

I know you're not ready to go there yet, Hummin, and as I said, I get it. Keep on asking questions, stay honest and open, breaking away from the deception is a slow process (it took several years in my case).

The process of believing one's eyes and common sense independently, breaking free from the doxa in spite of the massive social pressure and vilification, is the opposite of indoctrination. Dave Weiss is a pretty reliable source of information among others, IMO.

You and I can climb Everest anytime. We can't go to Antartica. That's my point.

Water always remains level. Water drops are round because of a phenomenon called "surface tension", which is caused by the cohesive forces between water molecules, making them naturally pull together to form a spherical shape that minimizes their surface area, essentially acting like a "skin" on the water drop.

"As for only certain areas being accessible this on the whole is true but because it's very dangerous." Letting people decide where you are allowed to go or not, what is true or not, without question.

The earth is very big and gravity is very weak and water is heavy and paper isn't. That doesn't mean anything. Midnight sun and Summer solstice already explained in this thread. Antartica (bar small enclave granted to the plebs) inaccessible due to Antarctic Treaty. If you wish to refute, kindly articulate rationally and refrain from posting laughing or confused emojis.

Please explain how a force can be strong enough to stick trillions of gallons of water to a ball, but not enough to flatten a napkin on the surface of said ball.

Think.

Please explain why this entire napkin, when dropped on the ground, isn't pulled towards the Earth's core.

It appears you did a bit of googling and (at least partially) copy-pasted whatever result suited what you wanted to say (as evidenced by the change in font and white background in the text, which only happens when copy-pasting from an external source). If you had had the humility and patience to get acquainted with the facts presented, you would know that the Jesuits were the driving force in establishing heliocentrism. This is what @DD86 meant when he said “Specially the Jesuits part in all this is important”. But you interpreted it as being a claim the Jesuits supported the flat Earth, which demonstrates that you have no idea who the Jesuits are, nor what the political and cultural context was at the time. I will take this opportunity to make a general comment on the dynamics of this thread: there are two opposing views on this matter and nobody is superior to anybody in this debate. If one doesn’t actually know what they are talking about, one takes a big risk (and risks damaging one’s credibility and relevance) by making assertive comments.

Please explain.

Nice jargon! Water doesn't curve.

Ouch, misunderstanding there… That's what happens when one "knows" without knowing.

Ah, well I know better than to challenge Those Who Know. Happy knowing!

There are seven lines of supporting argument after the quoted sentence.

1h42 is very little considering the wealth of information presented.

Please elaborate rationally.

Your point on water mass makes sense. Though Newton himself, and many detractors (especially in the 18th century) stressed that gravitation was merely a theory. That is absurd to me. A pull so great that it would force water to curve (a physically impossible phenomenon in any case) could not be overcome by a measly bird.

Good.

I could do a better job with GIMP. Where are the stars? (Off you go on Google – fear not, there is an official explanation.)

At leat he has the honesty to say he doesn't have a clue what gravity is. video_2024-12-25_20-16-24.mp4
