>>15993440Ahhh, yes. "They". It's those infamous "they" people again. "They" are lying to us. When ever you hear a person use "they" in the context of a conspiracy, you know two things about that person -- 1) This is a very untrustworthy person who is hiding an agenda behind his talk of conspiracy, and 2) This person is either willfully dancing around the surface of things to avoid looking in places that might collapse the conspiracy theory, or is too low-IQ to even consider digging deeper.
On the planet right now, there are tens of thousands of people who work for government agencies, independent science labs, and post-grad universities, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of amateur scientists around the world who collaborate on projects to receive telemetry from satellites and telescopes. When a satellite orbits the earth and sinks below the horizon, scientists on the other side of the earth can pick up the telemetry transmitted by that satellite. When celestial objects sink below the horizon, telescopes on the other side of the earth can see the object. When new radiation is detected from a distant location in the sky, a sort of three-dimensional image can be produced by compositing the data collected by locations in three or more hemispheres of the globe.
"They" are tens and even hundreds of thousands of professional and amateur scientists with direct access to verifiable and quantifiable off-world telemetry. The conspiracy snake-oil salesmen would have you believe that tens of thousands of people are in on the lie, none of them breaking rank and spilling the beans for a multi-million-dollar book deal. All these people keeping this secret, and not one of them leaking verifiable proof of the lie, and all to maintain the illusion that the world is flat. To what end exactly? What is to gain from making people believe the world is round and not actually flat? No one's life will change whether the earth is round, flat, conic, toroidal or cuboidal.
