Some good sighting opportunities coming up for the ISS over the next few weeks.
Baffled as to why they went to the trouble of fabricating a new moving projection on the dome that is observable everywhere in the world. You think it'd be easier to just not bother.
Have you made your own superfluid?
You're entitled to believe what you wish.I think phrases like "I've done my own experiments" then refuse to say what they are, can be perceived by others as being untruthful.
In your mind.It hints to a complete absence of any experiments.
It is fair enough to doubt the results and validity of experiments made over thousands of years of scientific development. But when they are replaced by "secret" experiments it doesn't add much balance.
It goes along the lines of " well, it looks like there's observable, testable and repeatable experiments that show the Earth not to be a spinning globe.It is along similar lines of "well I think I have a greater information source", which is a standard line from a conspiracy theorist play book.
A lad in my team is like a work conspiracy theorist, and follows the same patterns as flat earth, twin towers attacks and other discussions I've seen. He comes out will all sorts of stuff that is apparently going on and going to happen at work, and each time challenged "well I have my information sources, but I can't tell you what they are".
One day he was claiming something, getting the rest of the team wound up and I had to say that is the opposite of what is happening. Sure enough "Well, I think I have a better source of information than you on this one". "Erm no. The decision on this was made half an hour ago between me, the director and other senior managers. I was the one who put forward this solution". The response, a knowing smile and a nod, "as long as you feel like you have been involved, that is the main thing but I know for certain that is not what is going to happen.". Sure enough what I said happened and what he claimed didn't. But he was convinced he knew better. Could not reveal his information or sources of course.
When it comes to conspiracy theorists, I think that is a natural form of defence.
You doubt some of the maths I use as bowing to authority, fair enough.
Only natural sceptics are not going to be in possession of the truth's of potential lies, because they're cloaked behind balderdash calculations for unprovable things.But, I maintain things like the circumference of a circle is 2πr.
I have something out there to be attacked along with all the other maths and physics posted on this forum. But what I find with conspiracy theorists is they never have the details, never the experiments, only ever vague hints.
Yet this is what we get told all teh time with a global spinning Earth, just set out in a slightly different gobbledygook way.Nobody is going to come out and say the circumference is 14cos(squirrel), because it can be disproven.
I agree, for those who set this global stuff up and people like you who argue it based on that info.Or in other words, nothing there to be attacked. It is a safe defence.
What keeps the discussion going is basically two things.I think it is what keeps their discussion going.
Something with details can be shot down, a vague hint can't, so their theory continues.
Basically, yes.The discussion here today is a great example. "I have experiments to prove what I'm saying", "Can you tell us more", "No"...oh, well that is the end of that discussion isn't it?
No need to. I'm explaining bits of it. Try and put the pieces together, or don't.I think it is the same reason you will not provide the shape of your earth.
We can demonstrate the globe works, but can't prove or disprove yours, because there is nothing there to attack or disprove.
And this is exactly the global spinning Earth.It is the invisible rhino in the corner that only you know is there.
My advice to you is ignore me and get anyone else to do so who believes I'm trolling.This is way beyond misunderstanding, this is deliberate trolling.
Whatever you feel you need to go with.Elements exist, because the acquired knowledge of science says the elements exist.
Superfluids, gases, liquids, solids, temperatures, pressures, they all exist because the acquired knowledge of science says they exist.
Planets, stars, galaxies, gravity, trigonometry, in fact all of mathematics, no, they don't exist because they're just stories that the sheeple believe...
Riiiiiiiiiiight.
.
What is hydrogen? What is helium?
Then stick with that if that suits you, until you feel you can accept something different.I don't believe they exist. I've never seen them.
Are we supposed to believe that these so-called "gases" that are invisible supposedly exist?
You're entitled to believe what you wish.I'm not going to believe these arguments from authority.
What is pressure?
Nope, you can not believe a word of it if that suits you.Are we supposed to believe that this magical invisible so-called "force" actually exists?
It could well be.Sounds like an argument from authority to me.
I briefly explained my side. What do you think it is?What's a superfluid?
No probem.I've never seen one.
I've heard so-called "scientists" talking about them but I've never seen one.
Are we supposed to just believe they exist and act in the way Nukehasslefan says they act?
Could be.Sounds like an argument from authority to me.
My advice to you is ignore me and get anyone else to do so who believes I'm trolling.
By not doing so you are feeding this troll you pretend I am.
Try it and give yourself a happier time.
It's just one topic, why the frenzy?
Whatever you feel you need to go with.
Broken down elements into their more expanded form. IMO.
What do you think?
Then stick with that if that suits you, until you feel you can accept something different.
No. Only if you feel they may be a reality. It's down to you.
You're entitled to believe what you wish.
I believe it's compressed matter. What do you think?
Nope, you can not believe a word of it if that suits you.
It could well be.
I briefly explained my side. What do you think it is?
No probem.
No problem.
Nope. You are not obliged to believe anything and also you're not obliged to correspond to this post or me ever again if you so wish.
Could be.
Show us proof of your ramblings please.My advice to you is ignore me and get anyone else to do so who believes I'm trolling.

Have you?Have you made your own superfluid?
Have you?
Let's just accept that I know about it.No of course not. I've got no reason to.
Have you made your own? Just wondering how you know about it
No, lets not accept it. Show us proof please.Let's just accept that I know about it.
Yeah this is a more extended version of my earlier statement that it all stems from insecurity.I think phrases like "I've done my own experiments" then refuse to say what they are, can be perceived by others as being untruthful. It hints to a complete absence of any experiments. It is fair enough to doubt the results and validity of experiments made over thousands of years of scientific development.

Sure enough "Well, I think I have a better source of information than you on this one". "Erm no. The decision on this was made half an hour ago between me, the director and other senior managers.

I think it is what keeps their discussion going. Something with details can be shot down, a vague hint can't, so their theory continues. There is also the attention grabbing bit "Oh please tell me more of your wisdom?", which both gives attention and elevates their status in their minds as a sage holding secret wisdom, rather than what they actually are.
The discussion here today is a great example. "I have experiments to prove what I'm saying", "Can you tell us more", "No"...oh, well that is the end of that discussion isn't it?

Let's just accept that I know about it.

No, we’re all sheep for relying without question on the stories we’ve been force fed for centuries … but we should just accept that he knows all about it.Relying on stories from authority, or did you make it yourself?

You choose. I'm ok with whatever you decide.Relying on stories from authority, or did you make it yourself?
