Hello

I have a few questions if there are any flat earthers here

I know

We can see the moon because the sun shines light on it. When the earth is inbetween the moon and sun (like this: 🌙 🌍 ☀️) then the light from the sun isn’t hitting the moon, thus we cannot see the moon

That’s not true either

Light refracts

It doesn’t travel in a straight line

Wait what?

How does that make it impossible to see the moon and sun at the same time?

What...?

There are two types of eclipses

Solar and lunar

Citation needed then

No

No, im a physicist

Im more curious about how gravity works within a flat earth model

Like, it’s impossible to not have gravity

Or some force that makes things accelerate at 9.8 m/s2

Math is easy

And that isn’t what the brackets and parentheses mean @mineyful

Brackets mean that that value is included in the domain, parentheses means that there’s a hole or asymptote there

I dont see how gravity fits into a flat earth model

Then how do you explain that things accelerate downwards at 9.8 m/s^2

9.8 m/s^2 isnt a speed

No. Things fall at different speeds

Are they increasing in density as they fall?

Why do they go faster as they fall?

What force is acting on it

In my model, yes ik what force causes things to increase in speed

It’s a scientific theory.

A scientific theory is not the same things as a “layman’s” theory

What..?

That’s not how that works

Water isn’t kept “upsidedown”

Up is always away from the center of the earth

Okay?

They aren’t upsidedown

There is such a thing as aviation

^

No..?

Because “up” and “down” are relative

Up is always away from the center of the earth. Down is always towards the center of the earth

Because gravity is pulling them towards the center of the earth

Relative to the current orientation of the camera, yes

No

What...?

Gravity pulls you towards the center of the earth

Therefore, you can stand on opposite sides of the earth but still feel like you’re “upright”

Yes. They knew a lot less back then

Our intuition is often flawed

If psychology has taught us anything, it’s that our intuitions are flawed

And that’s not the only evidence

I still want to know how things accelerate with a flat earth model

There is no flaw with my system

Propose a perceived flaw and I’ll address it

Ever been on a plane?

Or a car?

When you get up to speed, do you feel yourself moving? Or do you feel still?

You feel yourself moving in a car when you’re at a constant speed?

I dont think you’ve ever been in a car

Next time you get on a car, go at a constant speed, and see if you can feel a change

What we feel is the acceleration.

Because we have inertia

We can measure it

Literally, get a meter stick, a stop watch, some paper and a ball

Drop a ball from varying heights and measure how long it take to fall

You can verify this for yourself

We can also measure that

You just need a telescope and a basic understanding of trigonometry

We can find side lengths of a triage with at least one distance

Triangle*

Of course they change

We don’t travel in a perfect circle

https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/review/dr-marc-solar-system/planet-distances.html

We can use parallaxes to find the distance

You can test the effectiveness of parallaxes yourself, you just need a meter stick

Vaccines are medically valid

And good

Nah, you’re harming those who are unable to get vaccines

I still want to hear an answer for gravity in a flat earth model

That’s not an explanation

Well, it’s not an explanation you can support with evidence

And that explanation could just as easily apply to a globe earth

What cancers and toxins are they injecting in our body?

Thermisoral is just a preservative. Its formula is nonlethal

It doesn’t matter that mercury is part of the formula

Chemical formula changes chemical properties

Na is a highly reactive element, cl2 is a highly deadly gas. But when you combine the two you get table salt

Can you send the actual study instead of a random picture

You understand that we had autism before then, right?

Yeah **diagnosed**

Because we didn’t have a term for it

Methyl mercury doesn’t have the same chemical properties as mercury

You understand that, right?

That compounds don’t have the same chemical properties as their elemental form?

Send the study

Idc about out of context pictures

Im not sure, usually i read the studies and its peer reviews

Isnt the CDC a governmental organization?

Aka, not paid by pharma companies
