I appreciate your skepticism. However, the very charge you lay at 'our' feet, that when we can't deal with some problematic lack of veracity in claimed scientific knowledge we seize on some other unverified claim, seems to be true of you, as well.
"...the failures of ball earth, or the lies of NASA."
NASA is not the origin of the theories of relativity. It isn't either where the claim the Earth is an oblate spheroid arises. These facts are applied in rocket science for the same reasons farriers do mammalian biology, or seamstresses do knots. You and I don't believe everything NASA publishes, but that has no bearing on the research that has shown the Earth is an oblate spheroid that was conducted millennia ago, lost, and rediscovered millennia ago. NASA can't lie about where the shadow falls on a sundial at different latitudes, and you can easily test this yourself.
Like most of us, you don't test these things yourself, but depend on reports of such tests from whatever sources you deem most trustworthy, and most people don't have any recollection of Eratosthenes and his calculations of the shape and size of the Earth we should all have learned in grade school. Hive would be a great way to demonstrate the shape and size of the Earth with citizen science, in fact, because we have users from all over the Earth that can each perform a simple test and report the results.
Here's the test: each scientist selects a site that gets full sun at noon year round. Each then sets a stake in the ground protruding 1m perpendicular to the surface. On a given day, days, or every day, each scientist measures the shadow from the sun produced by the stick and the angle reported by a compass at noon at the latitude of their test site. If we do that we can speak with authority regarding the shape and size of the Earth, because with this data we can derive that information.
That, and similarly simple experiments, is what it takes to verify what we've been taught, or prove some other fact is true instead. Replicable experiment, replicated.
While popular science is quite corrupted by mammon, and the claims of influencers deranged by the credulity of the hoi polloi, such that claims that 'the science is settled', or 'trust the science' aren't immediately followed by the complete shunning of the claimant, the scientific method is simple, reasonable, and applicable by everyone with a pulse (and even them without one, as I suspect even Dick Cheney was able to apply the scientific method when he was alive, despite his propensity for disinformation and malevolent avarice). We don't realize how often we use the scientific method, for instance waving our hand over a pan on a burner to estimate it's temperature and readiness to cook in, or dipping our fingers or toes into water before bathing or swimming in it. We have been indoctrinated from birth in the West to expect science to be the domain of experts, whom we should just believe faithfully, and throw money at.
That isn't how science actually works, as our natural experimentation demonstrates. Don't trust the science. Do the science. Be the scientist. When those of us that realize this reality about the scientific method apply our understanding we don't blather about flat, or hollow, or crater, or toroidal Earth or moon, or doubt gravity is why massive objects tend to be spherical. We don't claim space is fake, or that aliens probed us without first gifting candy and flowers.
Skepticism alone isn't enough. Recognition and allowing for bias - our own biases - is also necessary. We aren't without bias. It is exemplary of bias to think we are. It requires humility to recognize we are biased, and to rationally compensate for it, and this is why humility is the only proper foundation for wisdom, understanding, and science. Hubris, which we all demonstrate to some degree, is the opposite of humility, and has the opposite effect on wisdom, understanding, and science. 'I am the science!' is a claim that proves the complete opposite is the fact.
Despite the absolute failure to demonstrate any failure of gravity, relativity, space, that a variety of supernatural and other psyops depend on, such as flat Earth, hollow moon, or fake space narratives, these things persist, and claims that faked NASA images and video prove any of these theories are made, despite there being no evidence whatsoever of any of them provided by NASA lying. NASA lying is only proof NASA seeks to deceive us, not why they do, nor what is instead true.
Do the science. Be the scientist - not the gullible naif that seizes on the first psyop that comes along when you realize liars are lying lies.
"We are probably living in 1100 AD (not 2025)
The Earth might not be flat, but it is definitely not a ball of the size stated.
Gravity is not based on mass, and we already have working flying saucers.
The "war" in Gaza with IsReal? was planned long ago, seemingly by both sides.
The moon is hollow, and has active dampening mechanisms.
and 3I/Atlas has changed course and is coming to visit Earth."
No. These are psyops that have been provided by the same sources that derange scientific publishing to catch those that have caught the derangements to prevent them from reckoning truly and grasping why published science is deranged. You are biased, and do not recognize your bias that causes you to swallow worse derangements than you have rejected from published 'official' lies. Palestinian children didn't agree long ago to be double tapped, starved, raped to death, or bombed to smithereens. They couldn't do anything long ago, because they're children and didn't exist long ago.
You aren't testing the claims about 3I Atlas in any way. You're just choosing between narratives based on your biases. Don't do that, because that's what your enemies want you to do. Be honest. Say 'I don't know.' Or, do the damn science to find out.
Thanks!
