Brother James is on sabbatical, I am sure his upcoming work will be most illuminating.
It would be great to have you, dogplatter and theengineer back here on a regular basis.
Then, this forum can become again what it once was, some eight years ago.
Regardless of who is or isn’t here does not change the facts of the matter that there are no flat earth scientists and no Verifiable flat earth science being done.
Simple observations prove the earth is a sphere, simple observations that flat earth believers choose to misinterpret. Night/day, setting sun, southern constellations being different from northern ones, orientation of the moon viewed in the northern and southern sky. The list goes on.
Observations by every professional astronomer prove beyond doubt that all the views of a flat earthe believer are wrong. While professional astronomers have the means to study the cosmos, flat earth believers have nothing more than their own eyes or simple optics. Just as there are no flat earth scientists, there are no flat earth astronomers. Any comment in regard to the cosmos made by a flat earther that contradicts accepted knowledge is no more than idle speculation.
If you look at your own posting history all the scientific papers you provide links to are all done by main stream scientist. The irony being none of them would agree with any of your beliefs.
Take one of the main areas you post about, the sub-atomic world. That’s an area that you can have no real opinion on as it’s so far beyond your capacity to study or interact with. All that is available for you is to misinterpret those papers you cherry pick, and deliberately ignore information that contradicts your ‘opinions’
For example, the existence or not as is the case of subquarks. It is clearly stated on both the Websites of Fermilab and CERN that the smallest know subatomic particle is the quark, yet you maintain sub-quarks exist.
The best you or any other flat earth believers can have are opinions based on belief and not on science. Basing your arguments on pure belief would be much more honest that basing them on distorted and misrepresented science.
