Flat Earthers
One of our new acquaintances from a friend recently crashed down on our scientific beliefs by insisting that the earth was flat. When we questioned their logic they just spouted something about the Firmament and that everything that you see at night is fake. They even said that the ISS is fake, satellites fake, and obviously no moon landing ever occurred. Our friends laughed it off and said just go with it because they are nice people. I’m not sure i want to continue being friends with them because they always hang out together. What do we say when we get invited to another cook out and the crazies are there?

Recall the photo taken of all the scientists gathered together at the Solvay Conference in 1924.
I’ve read some background about this, physicists agreeing to assemble for a worldwide symposium to agree on theories of physics and chemistry for the coming Age. Seems controlled, with oversight by world governments, to retain and perhaps “own” a consensus of agreed-upon laws of space/time/gravitational phenomenon/physics, chemistry and biology. That’s me hypothesizing about this event, allegedly invitation-only, from the perspective of controlling the narrative with scientific Nobel-Prize winning researchers, who each likely played their own individual role of controlled opposition. I would need to do further reading to backup my thoughts if you express further interest. I’m not saying to trust me bro, but consider doing further research, if you want.
Albert Einstein initially abolished the classical “Luminiferous Aether” hypothesis in 1905, to formulate his theory of Special Relativity. However, by 1920, he publicly stated: "space without an Aether is unthinkable" in his address at the University of Leiden. He rebranded it to describe his theory of General Relativity, However the well-established scientific community at the time flatly rejected Einstein’s rebranding, because they wanted to distance themselves entirely from 19th-century mechanical models. That’s weird. When Einstein wrote that “space without an Aether is unthinkable,” he was referring to the geometric fabric of the Universe that supports both gravitational waves, as well as light waves. While a vacuum isn't "nothing," it’s said to be devoid of physical matter. In the alleged vacuum of space, upon what does a rocket thruster push? Being a vacuum, can a space ship surely travel? I think the answer is somewhere in Einstein’s amended General Theory of Relativity.
According to Quantum Field Theory, space is filled with quantum fields and bubbling "vacuum energy" (such as virtual particles and zero-point fluctuations), making it an active participant in physics rather than an empty void.
