HOW do we KNoW the EARTH is RounD, WheN WE Does NOT KNoW ThE ExPoNeNTiaL GRoWTH WiTH WHiCH ThE MaTTeR of mass|ANDOR|rock is ACCeLeRaTING in HeiGHT ReLaTiVE To The PReSSuRE oF AiR in ThE ATHMO|sphere -> WiTH REsPECT To the daTa of ThE InsTRuMeNT THaT MeaSuReS HoW the ATHMO|spheres-PRESSURE iS AFFecTING The InstruMenT That Measures The RELaTIVE HeiGHT, and ONE:ANOTHER inSTRumENT ThaT Measures HoW iT iS AFFECTED BY BEING Measured by PREVIOUS Measured data coming out from instrument, and one on top of that measuring how it is being affected by our measurement of previous AFFECTION UPON the INSTRUMENT, ad infinitum. BOHr:quantum|HEISENBERg :principle ANDOR RELaTIVITY:EINSTEIn . is the work(R) from WHiTCH all OuR rockSCIENCE TheorieS aRe BaSED upON and a REPresenITATION what WE ACTuALLY kNOW. We GOT OUR THREE WISE mEns oF SCieNCE, the THREE GREAT PRoPHeTs, the THREE JUDENs...back to the measuring inSTRUMENT. ad infinitum. I MeAN, FoR all we KNoW, the Great MOUNTAINchains of the planetEARTH could FORM a CuBe WheNever We'RE NoT LooKING, and FORM a SPHeRE OnLY WheN WE'Re ThiNKiNG We'RE OUT iN SpaCE. Descartes, who spent a lot of time on thinking and founded most of WeSTerN SCieNCE said: i am therefor I exist. Descartes also said that all is THINKing and iF aLL iS THINKing Then The WoRLD CERTAINly is RELATIVE, the very capacity of US THINKing so must make it so. AND so the WoRLD must be infinite sense the point that lacks DUALity HAVE NO RELATIVE POINT to COMPARE WITH, but still EXIST by BEING . DOT WiTCH EXIST and and NOT EXIST aT the SAME TIME. Existance can be SEEN in TWO WAYS, but Existance IS PRIORI WAY. Existance can be true of many things; i am and therefor I exist, or maybe some other reason like fdjsaoifj or plkjjhj ANDOR something, IT IS EVIDENT FROM the very EXPERIENCE of IT for FUCK SAKÉ. I do NOT HAVE TO BE a CERTAIN thing to have an experience do III? YoU CaN HaVE Experience without someone there, I MeAN, maybe the mass that makes up a robot really are experiencing something, only it's very stupid so that it doesn't understand anything of what it is doing. I MeAN III have HEARD about these ROBOTS behaving very Weird for NO REASON at STATE OF THE ART TECH UNIVERSITIES here in SWEDEN? I mean I haven't actually seen any matter around, all III SEE is FORMS of COLOR ANDOR a FEELing of GRAVITY...back to the measuring inSTRUMENT. ad infinitum. I have also SEEN some DATA that tells me HoW Much matt|rock|er There are IN ME, but III have NO CLUE WHAT this IS actually suppose to MeAN to ME? is it like a measure on how slow and heavy I am so to make sure that I know how to relate to people better? That explains it, it must be ImPoRTanT WHaT To ProJect WhEN SociaLizING:ThE ExPeRiENCE oF GRaVITY, people like that so much. Have anyONE accTUally seen the EARTH except s0me astro|nauts OuT in SPaCE, PoSiTIONeD in LarGe Spaceships NoT Having a CluE HoW ThE GRAVITY oF those massES aRe aFFcting What They aRe eXPeriencing. ALL we KNoW iS ThaT at least SoME oF THeM, ThE MoRE OPEN-MINDED of the BRAVE ARMY of rockSCIENTIST-HEROAsTRoNauTs, have HAD FAROUT mindBLowiNG ExPerienCEs FROM iT, THaT Changed THeM FoR LIFE .AND. sOme RuSSian cosmo|NAUTs that GOne MAD...back to the measuring inSTRUMENT. ad infinitum. For all We KnoW iT Could Be Perfectly Safe To Go Outside and BREED in ThE AiR uP theRE. WE have NOT ACTuALLY TRYid IT with a human BEING taken by SUPRISE. HavE We? I MeAN FoR ALL What SCieNCE HavE TaughT uS WE might asWELL BELIEVE what 'ThE HitchHiker's Guide to Galaxy' tells us: "/If you hold a lungful of air you can survive the vacuum of space for about thirty seconds. However, what with space being the mind-boggling size it is, the chances of getting picked up by another ship within those thirty seconds are 2 to the power of 276,709 to 1 against./". iF We DoN'T KNoW iF thE EarTH is RounD ALWAYS or OnLY WHeN SomeONE in SPaCE is LookiNG aT iT FroM a SpaCEsHiP WeaRiNG a space|SUIT, BEING in a rockETShiP. And HoW Then, DoeS HiS EXperiencE deCidE HoW I SHouLD RELaTE to mine? I MeAN, I HaVe FLieD Many Times, a LoT of TimeS, it WaS in DreaMs oF COURCE, BuT How Does ONE Really KNoW that IT IS TWO separate WORLDS when ScieNCE Says ThaT All is RELaTIVE and RELaTIVITY IS something that is BORN FROM ONE,1,án,an,one,ane,en,ien,aan,een,ién,iën,ein:ainaz? I MeAN, ONE is SOMETHING isn't it?...THE FEMENINE DEVOURS. OH NO NOT THE DARKNESS PLEASE HELP LITTLE ME. You'VE BEEN THERE, YOU REMEMBER, it is SLaPPeD RIGHT in YouR FacE, the v0id behind YoU then!stop. CeRTaINLY iT Was NOT WRoNG to SAY that the EARTH was once FLAT, III MeAN iF all is RELaTIVE and they couldn't FaTHoM/5(piphi) RounD, then HOW COULD THEY BELIEVE? that the earth was IT, RounD, IT, RounD, IT, RounD? I MeAN, they SAW what they SAW, how could they BELIEVE that THE EARTH was what they did NOT SAW? TheY SAW, and they SAW THAT the EARTH was FLAT, WHY did THEY HAVE any REASON to BELIEVE that the EARTH was something else then what they SAW?...back to the measuring inSTRUMENT. ad infinitum. I Guy Comes to YoU AND TeLLs YoU that the EARTH isn't round, but something else COMPLETEly, and !YOU! THiNK: What the hell is he talking about, I've seen all the data myself do you think that I'm stupid? I am a r3al mAn I kn0w what I'm d0ing, d0 you seri0usly THiNK: YoU CouLD MAKE ME BELIEVE ThaT Wh0le of SCiENCE iS a HuGE CONspiritcy?

WeLL, MAYBE, BuT if YOU accKNOWLEDGE ThaT ThE EARTH could be FLAT for ALL we KNoW. iF iT HAD Been a CUBE and I had BEEN a 2Dimensional BEING, III would CERTAINly have SEEN rockSCIENCE to BE the FALSE PROPHETEA that j-UDAISM, CHRIST-IN-sanity, is-LAM SPEEK ABOUT.
HoW FaR do we ReaLLY SEE NoW? When the Great KNowER IN uS DaRe To SuGGeST THaT ThE MIRACLE of THE WoRLD of MANIFeSTATION ItSELF IS not WEIRD EnouGH to ALoNE BLOW OUR MINDs, At LEAST enough to enVISION AND, FAR IMAGINE something FAR MUCH GREATER TheN a SPHeRE? How ABoUT TRYing ON THE MODEL and GO for a RiDE? I MeAN, INFINITY sounds pretty INTERESTING iF ONE COULD actually POINT IT to something TO BE SEEN. I MeAN, iF oNe COULD 0nly VISUALIZE IT ONE could actually SEE IT. WHAT WouLD iT Be Like to BE IN tHe MIDDLE of a HOLO|g(gram) for inSTANCE? In the MIDDLE oF the POINT that arE ProJECTing the holo|g(gram) IN aLL DIRECTIONS an inFINITElay AmouNT oF SPiNS/per s(second), SCROLLing through INFINITELY MANY POINTS, CHANGEing DIRECTION TO SPaCE of NOTHING. s; being the only time variable in its dimension (number of divisions) and so always equal to 1, ALWAYS in the WORLD oF LANGuAGE, having a square EQUAL to itSELF .stop.

I MeAN, WhY ThiS? CouLD'T SoMeTHiNG ElSE COMPLETEly then!stop EXiST? WhaT GiVeS Us ThE HoNoR of THiNKiNG ThaT We HaVE ThE SlighTeST CLuE WHaT's Going ON HERE......back to the measuring inSTRUMENT. ad infinitum
