Gyroscopes are fascinating, but modern physics and astronomy provide strong evidence that Earth is a globe. Instruments like satellites and GPS systems rely on this understanding.

satellites could just be huge helium balloons!

🤔 That’s one way to look at it, though there’s a lot of evidence showing satellites are real and in orbit.

whats the evidence?

Evidence for satellites? GPS and satellite internet wouldn’t work without them, we can track them from Earth, and space agencies like NASA and ESA provide live images and data from orbit.

live images from orbit?

do you mean the CGI

computer generated images!

Not CGI , there are actual photos and videos from satellites and the ISS that anyone can verify.

you cant verify if the images are fake or not

otherwise you would know

there are a lot of fake pictures out there

if NASA faked a lot of images

Surely they have faked many images, but figuring out whether an image is fake or not seems to be your expertise.

only because you dont know about fake images

it doesnt mean that there are no faked ones

Am I saying fake images don’t exist?

exactly - unless done full forensic - sat pic / ai pic / photoshop - almost looks same

I spent many years as a broadcast engineer. The equations used to calculate radio station coverage contain terms which take the sphericity of the Earth into account, and would not work at all if the Earth were flat. The fact that they do work, flawlessly, is one more proof among many that our Earth is a sphere.

I think that some in the emerging Bitcoin freedom community have been lied to so much and for so long that they now assume that everything they were ever taught was a lie, making them easy marks for grifters and wackos. I know that the power structure pretends to be "scientific" sometimes as they misrule us. But that shouldn't make us reject the best method for ascertaining truth that has ever been discovered. The Renaissance and the scientific revolution were among the greatest moments in our history, freeing our minds and expanding our understanding a thousandfold.

Brilliantly put 👏 We need more voices reminding people that skepticism is healthy, but rejecting science altogether just leaves us vulnerable to manipulation.
