You have drank far to much agenda coolaid.
All this time we've been fooled, tricked into believing the earth is a sphere and our 'planetary system' is heliocentric, only so "they" could steal billions and billions of dollars of our money to fund 'space travel' or 'research'. All this time the flat earthers were right! Evil scientists!
This is hugh and series. Revolution time baby. I fear for our lives for what has been uncovered here.
Attributing religious rules and thinking or rapaciousness to the scientific method is ridiculous. Any supposition made is then looked at by professionals in that field and they try to disprove it, make it false, tell the person that they are full of sh*t. Even Copernicus was proved wrong. If they can't do that then, hmmm, we may have something here. So when 98% of those people say there is something there, it's kind of a big deal.
(Standard disclaimer. Yes, there can be corruption and unethical people in this and every line of work, class of people, religion, etc.)
Why don't you think that the earth is the center of the universe? Earth is flat? No? How do you really know? How do you know that your car won't just explode when you reach 70 mph? How do you know that taking that aspirin will really help you avoid a heart attack?
All that is just 'common sense'? Have any of you personally observed any of that and can prove it? I'm guessing you are trusting the people who do that for a living to have done it right.
But if you were born when one major influence was saying the earth was flat and the center of the universe, god created everything and man has dominion over the earth and can do anything he wants, and another saying we've evolved in a heliocentric planetary system on a planet with a fragile ecosystem that we're f*cking up and it's going to have some pretty bad ramifications, you'd think what was common sense would be quite different.
So what I'm finding funny is Copernicus, a scientist, is brought up as a brilliant example of critical thinking and scientific discoveries are just common sense, yet the same process, logic and reasoning that leads to conclusions one may not agree with for whatever reason can be religious, brainwashing dogma at the same time.
I'm sure the people who first heard what Copernicussy had to say were saying pretty much the same stuff you are. He's so arrogant thinking he knows all the answers, he thinks he knows more than god? He just wants attention. Who is he to question us and try to change our way of life?
Personally, I think the whole higgs particle thing is a scam. I've never seen a higgs. Freakin' grifters.
