[MOVED] What happens when a non-NASA astronaut is asked about the shape of the earth?

[d taylor]

Yet you are using computer technology to post this nonsense ?

I am not the one going around saying the earth (actually they say planet) will end, be destroyed in 10 years, talk about nonsense.

The proposed NASA Authorization Act of 2018 would increase NASA's budget from $19.5 billion in FY 2017 to $20.74 billion in FY 2018, and again to $21.21 billion in FY 2019.

Is NASA the only recipient of scientific funding? Which individuals are getting richer than Croesus? Jim Bridenstine, the top executive, has a declared annual salary of $185,100. That's not a bad wage, but it's certainly not on a par with real high earners in non-science jobs. Let me put it out there - I earn more than that, and I'm not a power hungry, money grabbing scientist.

Do you care to explain, or present any links regarding, how this Flat Earth Cosmology functions.

You make it sound like it's actually a thing.

The beauty of the heliocentric model is that it has a physics to back it up, a physics that explains every detail. That is completely lacking in the FEC and, in fact the FEC is contradicted by the physics.

Which is a whopping half a percent of the total federal budget for the year. Color me unimpressed.

Well, would you look at that, you actually got an agnostic to pray for you. Maybe flat eartherism is good for something after all.

Lol. I don't recall hitting that icon. Still, I'll leave it for the comic value.

It is a thing. A well established thing. There are already numerous past and current threads on various aspects of the topic that 95% of the posters here have already rejected. If you want names of some YouTube content creators who tackle this and other aspects, I can do that and you can choose (or not) to spend your own time in research. Otherwise, I'm not going to derail my own thread to recover ground already covered.

I just connected

I am happy for you. Neuron meets neuron. It looks like a love story your posting has been missing so far.

Just out of curiosity, do you mean the physics causing astrophysicists like Neil DeGrasse Tyson to say things like they don't know what's driving 96% of the universe and therefore are "96% stupid" when it comes to cosmology, or Michio Kaku to state, "Usually in science if we're off by a factor of two or a factor of ten we call that horrible. In cosmology we're off by a factor of 10 to the 120. This is the largest mismatch between theory, and experiment in the history of science"?

Are those the physics explaining every detail? Or do you have your own physics they don't know about?

What happens when a need for money trumps a desire to retain one's integrity?

What happens when senility meets religious belief?

What happens when chronic alcoholism meets reality?

Just because you don't know everything ... doesn't mean that you don't know anything.

I am much more content with a scientific community which admits that it doesn't know it all ...

I'm sure that's fine as long as there is no hypocrisy involved by not extending the same understanding and patience to flat earth researchers who don't have everything figured out yet either.

You don't even have a working model.

We do, but the same response in post #128 applies to you as well.

They start a forum or a thread (or even a church!?) for support of their sin ?

Doors bang, chain gang
He hates it

Ask any two flat earthers some basic questions about their models, you'll get different answers.

I was referring to the physics of orbital mechanics commonly known as "Newtonian physics" or " classical physics" or "non-relativistic physics". This has taken us to orbit, to the moon and back and to navigate probes to the edge of the solar system. I am well aware of the cosmological problems beyond the solar system.

Newtonian physics is already under heavy bombardment by other heliocentric models, such as the electric universe theory. It doesn't need the FE model to be ultimately rendered ineffective.

Also, it's cute you think we've been to the moon. If you haven't seen through that hoax, it's no wonder a FE won't make sense to you as you haven't even yet realized there is a bigger hoax still.
