I thought i was the only one.

okay but like am i the only one that’s intimidated by their own goals??

My confusion with the flat earth perspective

07.10.2021/Thursday

Science has been a controversial discipline since time immemorial. Science and religion have always had head on collisions on important topics such as Astronomy, genesis and evolution, so it is expected that some people will side with science and some will side with religion, regardless of the year we live in. After all, one school of thought believes in drawing conclusions after rigorous testing and cross checking and the other school simply asks one to have faith and naturally, there are people who find one or the other more comforting or convincing.

The above are somewhat understandable differences. What truly leaves me dumbfounded is the kind of ideas that conspiracy theorists seem to hold these days about simple, provable universal truth. In particular, the flat earth idea simply leaves me speechless. Even when the shape of the earth can be inferred from numerous everyday observations (the presence of the horizon, the appearance of the top of a ship first, before its bottom etc.), it is absolutely astounding to think that there are those who do not believe that the earth is a sphere.

Perhaps the most  hilarious part (aside from internet trolls) of this whole ordeal is that most flat earthers use the internet on some sort of cellular device to declare their beliefs, a technology that is  possible simply because the earth is a sphere and because general relativity works.

I am truly, utterly clueless as to how you look at pictures of the earth taken from the ISS and proclaim “That is fake!”

These are the moments when I wish I could read minds so that I could understand the complexities of the minds that hold these beliefs better. Truly remarkable.

So goddamm true ✨

when the numbers work out for a physics problem you've been working on for hours.... so sexy so goddamn sexy

my opinion on quantum physics is that we should stop looking into it. it's none of our business and frankly the particles seem to agree

things are going to be difficult. But you

life is not for having responsibilities life is for basking in sunshine on chilly january mornings with a book in your lap and nothing but the sound of wind whispering against the bushes around you
