RE: The End Of Reason: A Glimpse Behind The Curve
Wow! Where do you live?
I live in Seoul, we have a saying here, "grey by day neon by night".
I can guarantee you that there are indeed stars at night, I and billions of others see them.
Argumentum ad populum
Astronauts guarantee me the Earth is round, politicians guarantee me the country will be better if I vote for them, priests guarantee me heaven if I have faith, etc. I can take your word for it, but that doesn't prove anything.
For hundreds of years, sailors have sailed across the seas coming back with tall tales. Today there are Photoshop and green screens.
Unfortunately, I cannot see the stars or the sky so I cannot use star or sun proofs. I'll have to stick to my gyroscope or wait a few months to observe.
I take the scientists word for it in the meantime as I always have, but I'm still unsure how to prove it is not a spinning coin without seeing the stars or sun.
I shall give you an experiment to do without seeing the sun or shadows.
Go to a tall tree, or building where there is a fair amount of visibility, perhaps in a park.
Then note how far you can see, then climb up the tree and note how far you can see again. Even with the smog, you should be able to see further when you're higher up the tree than on the ground.
This proves that the earth is curved....

Good idea, I work in tall building. Maybe I will check top vs bottom but I still need to wait for less dust in the air since I can barely see other buildings and hills10km away.
