Has everyone here forgotten that an awful lot of science is theoretical? Many popular theories are based on well substantiated explanations. "The Scientific Method"?? Theoretical Science?
Einstein's Theory of Relativity? All phenomena can be regarded as theoretical whether it is known or unknown, particularly in a science class at a learning institution such as a university or a school.
It is not about WHO is right. It is about WHAT is plausible. Science is not about YOU or ME. None of us here, taking our parts in this forum, are obliged to accept anything. All we can do, as curious as we are about "phenomena", is communicate with each other, each of us (hopefully) wanting to understand and be understood by everyone involved, by being objective and rational.
Substantiating a claim as comprehensively as possible in a scientific debate is so very important. This is not politics. (Einstein Quote-Politics is more complicated than Physics)
When I first became aware of the flat earth theory, and subsiquently considering its credibility, the first questions I asked myself were the most obvious ones...some of the theories presented to us here via "10 easy ways you can tell for yourself that the earth is round" are the among the first questions most of us would require sensible answers to if we were to consider a flat earth as at all possible. This "DISQUS sion" presents 10 theories for us to consider/ DISQUS.
These 10 fundamental theories provide adequate and believable explanations that makes it perfectly plausible to believe that the Earth is a sphere.
Surely for any contribution to this DISQUSsion to be considered of any value, would be purely objective, non personal, and would discuss these 10 fundamental questions presented in the DISQUS thesis.
I'm no genius, but one would think that within this "scientific" discussion and considering its 10 fundamental theories, ( the word FACT pops up many times) that the phenomena we see and observe with our own eyes every day would be far more relevant than theology and a personal desire to be correct.
