Is everything black or white to you? You must be more binary dependent than a computer. The end of the quote beautifully ties humor and the uncertainty of it together. And finally, you might be wrong if the universe is infinite. You don't know. We don't know. We approximate. We believe. There is no truth. Only consensus. Remember this. Check out Kant.

@@BlaBla-hq1bu 1+2=12... is this the trickery? You are putting 1 and 2 to make 12...

[@BlaBla-hq1bu]

@@PeeP5051 Nah, the trickery is setting the zero point for a value with an absolute zero point. Somewhat like temperatures, sound also has a minimum possible value, an absolute zero. But 0 dB does not describe that point, but the lowest point that can still be registered by the human ear. (For the mathematical example I will now switch to temperatures, as I do not fancy calculating everything in 10^-5 Pa and the logarithmic scale of dB and because temperature has a much easier conversion.) Temperature has an absolute zero at 0 K = -273.15 °C, but the zero point of Celsius lies at the freezing temperature of water. Therefore 0 °C + 0 °C = 273.15 K + 273.15 K = 237.15 °C. Sound works relativly similar, although the increasing mechanism is somewhat different. In sound you have two noises measured in dB that amplify each other and not one value getting increased. That's why 0 dB + 0 dB is absolutely perfect, although a bit unintuitive , while 0 °C + 0 °C is a bit sketchy. I hope, I could help and you gave not up halfway through this horrific text wall. Anyway have a nice day and never stop asking questions.

[@yourlifeisagreatstory]

Ya I disagree with his “failed education” statement. Some of the flat earthers are educated and/or smart people but it’s a mental issue similar to paranoia in which they think there’s some organization out to deceive us all. It’s like the documentary in which they use the expensive gyro, or the light through the holes placed at long distances, which both prove there’s a curve and they still refuse to accept/acknowledge the evidence. There’s a large number who are college educated and/or are knowledgeable about certain topics who just don’t want to admit they are wrong. And there’s a large number who just don’t understand and/or comprehend the facts, which can be attributed to lack of education, but I’d hardly relate that to a failed system. You can be educated but not be intelligent. To put it bluntly: Some people are just dumb. FYI: to whoever is reading this; in DEC 2024, there is mission in which several people from the flat Earth community along with people who have science channels on KZbin, are going to Antarctica during a time in which the Sun will be out for 24hrs. This is said to be impossible with a flat Earth, so the point is to let these people experience the event to prove the Earth is a globe or to see what they will say.

Yes, but Tyson is too optimistic. Even with better schooling and teaching the fact remains that an IQ of 100 just isn't that bright, and most people hover a little above or below that point. People like Tyson suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect, in that they vastly overestimate the capability of other people. Tyson simply cannot grasp how dim most people are, so in his mind it's just a matter of educating them in some vague unexplained manner.

[@ishe728]

@@ptolemyauletesxii8642 i agree with you but I'm in the middle so i believe those that are dim can improve the iq up to maybe 115 to 120. Right now it's a failed system. We were once not as dim before we can get back with time. Plus he said to retrain the minds to think with reason not raise iq. Two different things there, in his defense. Which brings a separate issue, those are quick to question a book by a professor but do not do the same from a Facebook post?? I believe this is the dim you are thinking about and I'm just hopeful that its the education system, maybe it's like he said our right to freedoms that has facilitated this behavior?

why frightening? they aren't afraid. just curious about actual physics that don't make any sense so they went ahead and did the science to get some answers... shared em, more people got involved with more questions, did the research conducted experiments, shared the results, until now, there are good answers that those who just make claims, and believe based on their faith can't provide. Dont you personally have a single question? Like, if the sun really was over 90 million miles away, wouldn't it heat up and light up the one side of the earth equally, being that far away? Or, since we can easily calculate the 3rd side of any triangle, and can observe the angles of sunrays shining through clouds, anyone can calculate how high above us the sun actually is. It's obvious the sun is not millions of miles away. What about the constellations and north star... how do they stay in place while the earth is spinning, an also circling the sun, and hurtling through space, yet supposedly these stars that make up the constellations and the north star are billions of miles away yet have remained unchanged in our night sky through all time? It's kind of mind blowing to me that everyone isn't wondering how that could be. Well 10, 15, 20 years of keeping an open mind, there are some pretty solid answers that make sense. My hats off to those who also wondered and didn't just go by blind faith in what preachers like Neil give from their pulpits. I find him insulting. And not very good at giving answers. His answers make no sense at all. Maybe they did 10 years ago, but we know so much more today. Seems like he's not keeping up or he's doing what he's been told to do. The corrupt powers that be, never change.

@@andrewfreligh2347 Here's how you get firsthand proof: 1- Find a long, straight, and flat road. 2- Go to the middle-point of this road, and park beside it. 3- Get out and stand along side of the road. 4- Look to the "horizon" and focus on the on-coming lane. 5- At some point, your vision will allow you to see a vehicle at the furtherest distance your eyes are capable of performing. Even with great vision, you're likely to see a tiny and somewhat blurry dot. 6- Pay attention and watch the vehicle slowly grow bigger as it gets closer. 7- Notice that the vehicle is at it's largest, as it passes directly infront of you. 8- Pay attention and watch the vehicle slowly become smaller as it gets further away. 9- At some point, your vision will no longer allow you to see the vehicle. 10- Apply what you just saw, to the Flat Earth theory. The sun would be tiny when first able to be seen, huge at midday, and tiny when too far away to be seen. Also you could put your phone/camera in the middle of the floor, use a round flashlight, point it at the camera from as far away that you can, and then shine down on it from directly above. = Round Earth

Here is a modern version of the three wells experiment. Measure the angle above the horizon of the star Polaris from three different locations. I suggest Winnipeg, MB in Canada, Waco, TX in the USA, and Oaxaca, in Mexico. They are all on 97º W longitude (within about a 1/4º or so). This makes them almost perfectly aligned on a north/south line. You could also measure the angle of the Sun above horizon at local noon on the same day (ideally at one of the solstices), but the Polaris observation is much easier because it can be done on any clear night. What shape of the Earth supports the observations?

[@LecherousCthulhu]

​@@ogrelordmalfoy202 Saying that means you don't understand the definition the scientific community takes on theories. Theories are the way the are because we cannot prove them in every possible situation beyond every possible doubt that everything about a particular tested assumption is true. The reason we treat gravity the way we have is because we have done so many rigorous tests on the subject that, while not impossible, is incredibly difficult to throw doubt onto as a general concept. Particular finer details are still being worked out by the scientific community keeping the concept itself within the theory wheelhouse. It will be a theory until every word used to describe every facet of the idea of gravity is true beyond a shadow of a doubt in all situations that could ever possibly arise. So to say that something is "Only a theory" ignores the things that have been done to prove it to be true and the time it has taken to do those things as well as the scientists that have spent their lives attempting to prove and disprove those things. Gravity is a theory, but it is also a well documented and well researched concept that has been proven time and again to be true as a concept. While every detail isn't perfect, until someone else proves a better idea, it should be treated highly.

[@aftokratory]

@@ogrelordmalfoy202 Have you every studied Physics? Then you would know that laws are DESCRIPTIONS of natural phenomena whereas theories are EXPLANATIONS. Gravity is both a theory AND a law. Theories are basically explanations for what laws describe. No theory is "just a theory". Theories must have substantial, indisputable evidence and reviewed many times before they are recognised and approved by the scientific community. Laws can also be broken, many of them are only descriptions of natural phenomena in certain situations. If you seriously don't know what theories and laws are, you are not qualified to judge science that has been proven again and again to be true.

Notice how those who still claim that the Earth is a globe and that water is somehow just clinging to it and that it's spherical in spite of a perfectly-flat horizon (regardless of altitude) totally avoid science when making their argument. Instead, they hide behind NASA's CGIs as "evidence" and turn to satire---- not empiricism, not logic, not objectivity, not common sense--- but satire---- satire toward anyone who would dare challenge their little status quo. This tactic came directly from the despicable Saul Alinsky, a flaming homosexual who, like many other homosexuals, wasn't the kind who believed in a hard day of work but who instead believed in trying to destroy. (Not surprisingly, Obama and Hillary laud him and implement his tactics.)
