Its not anti science to not blindly trust science. Its actual science to try and verify observations. Sure, most people dont have those skills to properly know what they are observing, but I think its good if people try to learn.

I learned tons of stuff about the common pitfalls about measuring the curvature of the earth by looking at flat earth arguments and seeing what science says about them.

Using lasers to track earth curvature across a big lake for example, absolutely fascinating to see why it doesnt work as you may expect.

Why would it not work as I expect? I’m expecting some beam decoherence, and possible deflecting due to temperature differences over a cold lake.
