Is Earth round or flat❓
You think the earth is flat, your assurances are somewhat empty. I would argue that you exhibit the tendencies of a contrarian science denier, perhaps even playing the role of a provocative devil's advocate. I struggle to fathom how someone capable of articulating arguments so skillfully could harbor such a profound distrust in science. There is overwhelming scientific evidence supports the Earth's movement in space. The Foucault Pendulum experiment (1851) demonstrates Earth's rotation. A freely swinging pendulum changes its plane of oscillation due to Earth's rotation, a phenomenon that cannot be explained without a rotating Earth. Stellar Parallax, first measured in 1838 by Friedrich Bessel, provides clear evidence of Earth's orbit around the Sun. The apparent shift in position of nearby stars against the background of distant stars occurs only because Earth changes its position in space. Galileo's persecution by the Church is a well-documented historical fact. While he may have been celebrated early on, his advocacy for heliocentrism led to the trial and his house arrest, as confirmed by primary historical documents from the 17th century such as.... Galileo’s Trial Documents (1633), Acts of the Holy Office (Archivio della Congregazione per la Dottrina della Fede, Vatican). The trial records, including interrogations and verdicts, document Galileo's prosecution for his book Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems (1632), which argued for heliocentrism. The Church accused Galileo of violating the 1616 decree by promoting heliocentrism as fact, not merely as a hypothesis. The formal sentence from June 22, 1633, condemned Galileo to house arrest and required him to recant his views. Consequently, Galileo, under threat of torture, was forced to recant his heliocentric beliefs in a formal ceremony. His oath of abjuration survives and reads: "I abjure, curse, and detest the aforesaid errors and heresies..." There was also the Correspondence with Cardinal Bellarmine, a letter from Cardinal Bellarmine to Galileo (1615) which clarified the Church’s position on heliocentrism and warned Galileo not to defend it as fact. This letter reflects the Church's initial caution toward Galileo. There are records from the Inquisition, namely The Manuscript of the Deposition (1632–1633) containing testimonies from officials of the Roman Inquisition and Galileo himself . These outline the charges and evidence presented against Galileo, including his writings and the Church's interpretation of Scripture. Then there is the Papal decree and enforcement; Pope Papal Bull (Urban VIII) approved the trial and supported the Inquisition's sentence against Galileo. His opposition to Galileo was partially influenced by personal and political grievances. There are also additional sources, such as “Galileo’s Daughter” by Dava Sobel and “The Crime of Galileo” by Giorgio de Santillana which provide detailed accounts based on the primary documents listed above. Additionally, The Vatican’s 1965 publication of trial documents in Documenti del Processo di Galileo makes many of these records publicly accessible. The quotes you have provided, are either taken out of context or reflect philosophical musings rather than empirical conclusions. For example, Stephen Hawking's comment in The Grand Design about models refers to the philosophical nature of frameworks, not evidence against heliocentrism. Modern physics overwhelmingly supports a heliocentric model. But, to go back on your comment regarding experiments carried out in the 18th and19th and centuries: There is modern evidence beyond the classical experiments. - Satellite technology, such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), requires precise calculations that account for Earth's rotation and orbit. These technologies are direct, practical proof of Earth's motion. - The CMB dipole anisotropy, detected by the COBE satellite, shows Earth's motion relative to the cosmic microwave background. Finally, your claim that experiments during the 18th and 19th centuries, such as those by François Arago, disproved the heliocentric model and were "memory-holed" is demonstrably false. François Arago's work focused on light's behavior, particularly its refraction, polarisation, and speed, which supported the wave theory of light and did not challenge heliocentrism. On the contrary, key experiments from that period reinforced heliocentrism such as... - Stellar parallax, first measured by Friedrich Bessel in 1838, provided direct evidence of Earth's orbit by observing the apparent shift in nearby stars relative to the background stars. - Similarly, the Foucault Pendulum (1851) demonstrated Earth's rotation, and stellar aberration, discovered earlier by James Bradley, confirmed Earth's motion through space. - The Michelson-Morley experiment (1887), while initially designed to detect the "aether," supported the consistent speed of light in all directions, aligning with Earth's motion and later explained by Einstein's relativity. Far from being suppressed, these experiments were widely documented and remain foundational in modern physics. Assertions of "memory-holing" are baseless. -

Gaza Famine Alert Retracted Amid Diplomatic Backlash & Incorrect Data
https://www.necn.com/news/national-international/gaza-us-asked-famine-warning-retraction/3424082/ https://www.nwaonline.com/news/2024/dec/27/famine-report-for-gaza-retracted-after-us-rebuke/ https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/aid-groups-concerned-after-u-s-says-it-pushed-retraction-of-famine-warning-for-northern-gaza https://truthout.org/articles/biden-officials-pressured-us-funded-food-monitor-to-retract-gaza-famine-warning/ For the record, these are some of the many reactions to the forced retraction of the FEWS report. Maybe next month we'll get to see an updated version of the report, but I doubt it. -

The Scientists and Spies Who Questioned Covid’s Origins
"They" would not do a dry-run with a less effective created pandemic vector to enable countries to organise better for the main event would they ? They'd just release the more potent one to have maximum wipeout effect on global population. = your idea is nonsensical. -

Is Buprenorphine available as pain medicine in Thailand now?
Bumrungrad says they don't have it. 8mg is for withdrawals, not for pain, which is 0.2-0.4 mg pr. dose typically. -

COVID is real and it is still circulating, just in a more contagious but less virulent form. -
