If I do it 10 times and each time the result is 'flat', and 99.99% of scientists in the field say it's flat, at that point I would do some self evaluation to see why I was so hell bent on being wrong
If I'm grifting people into giving me money to prove it's flat I'll keep doubling down until that teat runs dry.
you think there are 0.01% of astronomers, geologists, or any scientists, who think the earth is flat? ๐
There's a couple grifters who pretend (or are stupid enough) to think so yes. It's like the "doctors" the anti vax guys point at
yeah but.. 0.01%? Maybe I'm delusionally optimistic but I can't believe 1 in a 1000 people believes the earth is flat, let alone 1 in 1000 scientists
Isnt it 1 in 10 thousand? 1% is 1 out of 100, 0.1% is 1 out of 1000, so 0.01% is out of 10 thousand
