RE: Interviewing the SteemSTEM Language Curators! - @greenrun
I am wondering whether they printed greenrun on your passport... ;)
If you write original content on why the earth is flat, no matter how authentic the writing is since we already know the earth is not flat, such an article is guaranteed not going to be curated.
This is so true... People should write about why the universe is flat! This is so way superior :D
To come back to what you said about Einstein, it is important that everyone bare in mind that the science of today is built on the science of yesterday. Without the work of the previous generations of scientists, we would have to restart from scratch every time. This means, much less progresses. It is true that Einstein had to rely on the work of others. But this is true for anybody.
If the universe is flat, doesn't that mean the earth is flat too?
If someone writes a post arguing for flat-earth from that perspective, is it then steemSTEM content? :P
No it does not. The key point here is the 'scale' part. The universe is flat at large scales. Our good old planet is definitely not what we could call a large scale. As for the stomach of @justtryme90 by the way. For some reason, the same discussion is happening on discord and on the blockchain :D
The building on works of others makes the progress so much faster. Imagine starting off every scientific venture from scratch, there's no way we would have made so much inroads like we have now.
Definitely!
