OK let's focus on the global Earth thing. As you say my knowledge of the facts around global Earth have been taught as in reality has most everything else. This is mixed with personal experience/observation. As you put it I go with the flow which you say you do in some areas. My experience has not thrown up any suspicions of a fraud. I get on a plane and I appear to land in another country, my friend in Australia rings me and tells me its nice and sunny there when it's dark here, I read and see on TV shuttle launches, I have been to see Jodrell Bank space telescope etc etc. I haven't had a truman show moment sailing a boat to the horizon and instead hitting the dome. Just thinking something sounds ridiculous isn't a valid reason.Like I've said many many times on here. I accept a hell of a lot of stuff and have no need to question it. And there's a lot I do question.
It really is as simple as that.
There's many things you can hit me with.
You could say something like, " if you were told you were going to be hit by an asteroid and it was going to destroy Earth, would you be against sending up a rocket with nukes to blow it away like Armageddon or deep impact."
I would answer that quite easily and say I'll leave it to fantasy and go and make myself a nice cup of coffee.
If you ask me why I take pills for certain stuff, I'll tell you I made a choice to take something which helps me. Do I feel the need to question what I take?
I could but there's plenty of things which I accept.
I love football but I don't accept a lot of what's going on within it, money wise and corruption wise.
I accept some of what the authorities say but I question some of it.
And so on.
I'd hazard a guess that you will question a lot of stuff. It may be different to what I question but I'd be surprised if you go along with everything.
If you do question stuff and do not accept some stuff or refuse to believe it, then you're no different to me.
You can argue that you are and accept a lot of stuff I don't but picking and choosing what you agree with or do not agree with is no argument against someone who also chooses.
The only difference may be in whether you follow a mass opinion of disagreement and feel you're valid in that opinion based on that following.
It's easy for you to argue against me in terms of what I'm arguing against because you have everything at your fingertips in order to do that. And that's absolutely fine, although in your own genuine mind you know fine well that what you are arguing is only what you basically follow as your truth, but you really don't know if it is the actual truth, yet against me, a nutter and an idiot, it becomes a more than fair argument against me, in your mind..
I agree, it does offer you that higher pedestal and that applies to anyone else who goes that way. But that higher pedestal is what you placed yourself upon on the back of what you accept as a mass truth and a comfort blanket of knowing you stand with that mass and not contrary to it.
They don't travel at the same speed.
If you mean why does the feather travel faster under lower pressure then the answer is simple.
Much less resistance to it's mass due to extreme low pressure.
The magnet is the same but the difference is, the magnet is much more dense and will appear to drop no faster than the feather over a short height. The reality is, over a real big height in a legitimate environment any dense mass will overcome a less dense mass of similar shape.
I'll make this even more simple.
If you had a metal ball and a wooden ball of similar size and you dropped those balls at the same time from a great height, like a skyscraper, the metal ball would hit the ground a little before the wooden ball.
You would notice by eye the difference in fall.
Many people will argue against this and say they would fall at the same rate, regardless of offering a so called vacuum.
Why?
Because people are brought up with simple little experiments that supposedly offer this as proof.
They see a ball dropped from chest height or from a first floor window or something like that.
They believe similar sized balls of massively different densities will simply hit the ground at the same time...but when it doesn't happen with all, resistance is used.
It's so silly to use it when it suits when air resistance is always the barrier, even if it's a lower pressure resistance.
When I get offered a supposed big vacuum chamber at NASA and see their faces at dropping a supposed bowling ball and handful of feathers, then watching their faces in that room looking absolutely dumbfounded at the amazing thing they just seen, shows it up for what it is. A load of rigged up tosh.
People underestimate the power of atmosphere when you try to evacuate it by force against it to allow evacuation from a container.
The power of it is mental when you try to evacuate just a little of it.
Yes, I'm saying it doesn't.
However, don't get mixed up with me saying wavelength does not exist.
You see the key is in what makes light work.
What is light?
It's energy equaling sound which is vibration and the frequency of it.
So basically it's what makes the light that is the waves but the light itself is the reflection through the atmosphere/medium.
On the the other hand your whole philosophy is utterly utterly ridiculous.
There's lots of things (most) i don't really understand but that's OK just making up an alternative reality is insane.
Real science (which you seem to have an alternative definition of) has got us where we are today. If you want to live on a flat Earth world where your 'scientific' approach is in vogue go back to the middle ages.
You are proposing a huge conspiracy, a crime against humanity. But in any crime there has to be a suspect, a method and most importantly a motive. Its completely ludicrous.
At the end of the day you can think what you like, dress how you like, do what you like just don't go sending any hate mail to Brian Cox.
