The older a story becomes the more believed it becomes and the more certain people can be stood out as the overall authority/experts on retelling that story.Again I agree, looking back its with a pinch of faith, is what was written the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, I very much doubt it. Take war, the winners get the right to write the history, what did the people of tory think after the city state was sacked? We dont know as the main written accounts were from hundreds of years later in The Iliad and The Odyssey, in fact for a long time it was thought Troy didn't even exist and it was just a story.
So it is hard to know truths when looking at the past and what's been written, but is that the same in science, is that not held to a higher standard, where the science of what we understand changes as we learn more, now that doesn't account for if we are being deceived, but thats a lot of scientist that are onboard doing the deceiving if there is a way to disprove the globe theory.
And what do you say about scientists and a global Earth and how many would need to lie? It's easy to see why that thought process would be there for many but that's basically because the word scientists are generally assumed as ultra intelligence over the average Joe and how could they all lie or not know facts about a globe?
However, how many scientists are dealing factually with a globe over those who are basically dealing with hypothetical and reliance on various takes from Tom Dick or Harry or Julie Ann and Mary?
You see you could equate that to, how can all teachers be lying about teaching a globe? Where do they get their info from? They follow a curriculum and scientists follow their own set patterns for innumerable things to do with Earth and theoretical's about space and whatnot.
And that's the best way to go. I still have an open mind to all manner of theories and I still have an open mind as to what Earth is in its entirety and what's beyond it.I dont have the skills or the knowhow to run my own tests and so I am left with using the knowledge of others to make my choices, I always keep an open mind as facts have changed in science before, just like in history, sometimes we get stuff wrong and we change our thoughts on it.
The thing is I never used to have one. I simply believed all the stuff told by authority and only really opened up around 30 years old.
That's the same here.Having an open mind is very important, I dont believe in god, but I have kept an open mind and happily wait for someone to come along and prove to me I am wrong.
This is why I always say I accept a hell of a lot and find no reason to question it at any specific time, if ever.recent past, distant past doesn't matter, history can be rewritten, if enough people jump on board it can become its own truth, this is very true.
But we have to be careful dont we, do we just not believe any experts moving forward, do we only trust what we ourselves can see and do, I for one dont have the equipment or training to test everything, I cant explain how a simple record works, how the groves on it make sound and how a needle running over it makes it replay the sound, but i can see it does that, just because I cant explain something doesn't mean its not so, so it comes to a point I need to trust the people that can explain it.
It's all about what comes down the line as I go through the bits and pieces of trying to understand this Earth.
Absolutely.its like quantum physics, it blows my mind I always thought you could have something from nothing, but science has shown this is not the truth, that fluctuations in energy can spontaneously create mass not just out of thin air, but out of absolutely nothing at all.
Could the very reasons you think there's issues with the history and science behind the globe and moon landings to use your example not just be its something that hasn't been explained yet, maybe the moon landings were faked, but for a completely different reason?
As I said above, my mind is we live inside a cell.anyway thank you for taking the time to reply, which version of the different world do you subscribe too, as I see there is more than one version of flat earth, be interesting to read some of the things that made you change your mind over time, full disclosure I agree we are sometimes lied too, I agree sometimes we are mislead but with regards flat earth or globe issues, I have yet to watch or read anything that would prove it, with the last thing i watched on it was a laser experiment that was done to prove the flat earth theory but instead ended up going against that, but like with everything I have an open mind.
Can we escape it?
It's not something I know for sure, obviously but maybe we're trying to tunnel into other cells. Maybe we have.
Maybe we weren't the first to do it and maybe something else tunnelled into ours.
A wacky thought but like you mention with the so-called moon landings...maybe we're being swerve balled.
Living in a cell would mean we have to have a central core. Energy. We see that energy reflected off the dome as a sun that we're told is 93 million miles in space.
Anyway, there are many reasons I go down the route I have and a spinning globe is absolutely nonsensical to me in how we're told it is, in terms of us walking upon it. This makes it much easier to start to understand much more about an alternate.
Isn't that what you're also doing?You assume without apparently any evidence.
Such as?The so called stays quo is not a status quo it is an evolving evidence based reality.
It may not invalidate it to you but it certainly does to me with the simplest forms of evidence. I'm sure you know what I'm about to say so I'll save you the argument.The fact you choose not to accept that doesn't invalidate it or more importantly give your assumptions any equivalence.
