Tom. I seriously can’t believe you referenced this dude to refute the Cavendish Experiment

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Miles_Mathis

I see that that’s also where you got the pi = 4 nonsense from.

That's a humor website. What are the credentials of those people who call his work "comical attempts"?

Pi not equaling its traditional value is entirely valid. Pi is a concept that depends on the existence of perfect circles. If the circle is not perfect, and if space is "quantized" (divisible by discrete units) rather than continuous then the distance around all of the little pixelized elements is much longer. Who proved that mathematically perfect circles exist?

Are you going to prove the existence of perfect circles in this thread? I don't think that you will.

If you are not going to actually address arguments and instead resort to attempted attacks on character, then you should not bother to debate. Why should I address your arguments? What are your credentials to say that General Relativity and gravity as it exists in the mainstream is correct, in contradiction to the physicists and professors who say that it is not correct?

Had to revive this when I read Miles thinks the flat earth movement is part of the grand jew conspiracy.   LOL.  Still like this guy Tom?

Do you have a citation for this sweeping generalisation?

Wow.  Read the whole thing.  This guy is quite crazy.  Plus a massive narcissist:

And why would Flat Earth reconvene in 2009? Was some new use for Flat Earth discovered in 2009? Or should I say, is it just a coincidence that 2009 is when my science site really lit up, gaining traction in the mainstream?


He actually thinks the flat earth movement is completely made up, they are all paid shills and it was done completely in response to his web site.
I love this site, it's a fantastic collection of evidence of a spherical earth:

Full moon
