Przemax, I appreciate that English is not your first language but sometimes I have a hard time understanding what you are trying to convey in your posts, your post above is one of them.
Great. Just point out my grammar or syntax errors so that I can improve my english skills. Thanks.
I will respond to the parts that I can understand by saying that the first part of your reply highlights the point I was making, if what you're taught is half-truths how do you know where the lies stop and the truth begins?
Its easy. You just need to use critical thinking. Lets look at the globe earth theory and their half truths. Globe theory aknowledges the karman line on the altitude of 100km, where meteorites burn out. They explain it as if a bug fly into a wind shield. To make it happen there would need to be a very dense particles like sodium. As they claim there is. Sodium is way too heavy to be on that heights so its a lie. Its some of the truth (karman line and the burnout of asteroids there) to justify a lie (mechanics of a wind shield).
Now you can argue with me based on the fact that Karman line exists. Concave earth/flat earth model suggest its solid object and globe theoretists suggest its not solid. But the Karman line/Glass sealing/dome what ever you call it exist. Its a fact. Some things are proven and some things are not proven. You should separate one from another.
You can't pick and choose based on how you feel about a particular subject, rather there has to be a point where you trust the information that is being presented to you.
Its not about feelings. Its all about critical thinking. Someone have it and others dont.
This trust is generally born out of a general consensus that the knowledge being presented is tried, tested and accepted as being correct, having withstood scrutiny from peers in their respective fields.
Every scientists should be distrustful. Even to themselfs. If you think scientists should just trust someone without doublecheck, then someone has lied to you what science is. Consensus is such an abused word now. Word consensus just smells rotten like.... Jesuits
. It should be a long dead word like Jesuit order should not be ressurected. If everyone would agree to cut off your head and piss on your deformed corpse, would you agree to the "consensus"? Right is right and no voting make it otherwise.
I agree with your sentiment of questioning things. We learn a great deal through questions, but at the same time we cannot simply ignore answers because they don't fit with our own understanding. If we disagree with the answer but the answer given was born out of our collective knowledge as a species, then it's up to the individual to prove that the answer given is incorrect. You can't simply dismiss this collective knowledge of mankind as being some conspiracy by a government or some agency of one specific country as this knowledge has been gleaned from many people of many nationalities over a long period of time, and the current politics you're applying to base your dismissal on are not relevant.
I dont dismiss the collective knowledge of a humankind. I just state that some of the knowledge is a bs. Dont spread lies ok? Just because I see some things as not true does not mean that I see everything as untrue. How could you spawn such a logical error?
Regarding both your and notbatman's comments in relation to rockets,[...] [...]. It's a misconception made by many that a rocket's thrust comes from pushing against the atmosphere that surrounds it, hence why you think that a rocket won't work in a vacuum. Here's a very basic explanation from, of all places, an oceanography website:
Thrust in other words is a rapid push. You know what a push force is? You push something against something. Why do you spread a misconception. Its not that complicated that to push you need to have something to push against.
Squid is pushing the water against the water by creating a massive pressures.
You cant push something against nothing. How could you came up with such an absurdal idea?
it's clear that neither of you have an understanding of the physics involved
They are like:
The gasses formed inside the detonation in a gun shell, don't have anything to do with outside air. They explode because of reactions among the materials that make up the "gunpowder." The instantaneous conversion of gunpowder solids into super-hot gasses (including CO2), is what creates the sudden pressure. The slug moves because it is the easiest part of the process that can be moved by the expanding gasses. The pressure is so extremely great that, if the slug is not allowed to move, the gun will most likely rupture, explosively.
Ok maybe a gun could fire up. My bad, but rocket fuel is another story. Its mainly a hydrogen.
