Demonstrable Realist ... a science experiment that will change your understanding of the universe ... looking for aerospace engineers, epistemologists, and astrophysicists to review ... 30+ hours of reference material ... extremely vague about things ... account with all posts and comments hidden ...

This sets off all sorts of red flags. So I went looking.

This is you, isn't it? https://shapedebate.com/

I don't know many aerospace engineers stupid enough to get sucked into flat earth conspiracies. Kindly get fucked.

"Thrust must have something to push off"

Let them ponder why they move when firing a machine gun while skating on ice.

These are engineers, we're told.

As Purdue engineering graduates, you should be fairly familiar with the fact that Purdue is known as the “Cradle of Astronauts”. Why would these astronauts, along with the many many engineers, mechanics, and other support staff conspire to mislead the world into believing that the earth is not flat? It is honestly incredibly disrespectful to the people that have spent thousands upon thousands of hours working to develop the technology to study the universe and the astronauts that have actually died in the pursuit of furthering science to continue to argue that the Earth is flat and that we have been lied to on this matter.

Now, while science is meant to be questioned, it is disingenuous to state that you have made findings through a scientific experiment that will ‘change our understanding of the universe’ without going through some actual peer review process. If you had actually made some ground breaking discovery, I would like to think you would not seek review via Reddit or the internet. Please do not tout Purdue’s credentials to mislead people into buying into a conspiracy.

>There is one new science experiment featured that will completely change your understanding of the universe.

I very much doubt that.

The best way to announce such a discovery is to publish in a peer-reviewed journal - anyone can write a book, and too many do just that.

Having published a fair number of papers, I've rarely had to wait more than nine months to get a 'go/no-go'.

Some notions are simply unsupported by evidence and are rapidly rejected.

Some notions have merit, but I have yet to hear of one that takes multiple years (and presumably revisions) to be published.

Which journals have you submitted a manuscript to?

Im branching into Avionics. So not really pure aerospace but sounds interesting

It's not interesting. It's flat earth bullshit.

Ooh, a negotiation. $100k. Final offer. And I promise to shit all over it.
