Is it hateful to state the planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun?

His moniker suggests before AND after.

Check PMs, unrelated.

Usually when I make threads and see the flags I get I understand this is how other approve my threads and what I have said. On this thread I am not quite sure why my thread was flagged. Do people believe that stating Kepler's Third Law is hateful? Given that some people will get offended if anyone states facts.

Some years ago you would have been put to death.
So I would imagine in some way someone might get offended?
I don't really see how challenging science in this matter would anger others, but this is 2023.

What if the feelings of those people who don't accept the planets go around the sun in elliptical orbits are hurt? And they may get really offended as they have different beliefs.

By the way I don't see why someone can not challenge science. You can challenge anything you want if you have good evidence.

My philosophy is to always challenge what is commonly accepted.
That is how we move forward.

And to kinda answer your question about what if others get offended.
I think this specific subject could be worked out with discord. Nowadays maybe.....

So presumably you don't think it's hateful to state that the orbits of the planets around the sun are elliptical.

Round-Earth theorists would like a word.

Yep! And probably accuse you of bigotry if you keep insisting.

I learned about the eliptical orbits back in the early seventies or late sixties. They did not teach it in the class, but I got curious and did some reading from books I got from the library. I used to have the librarian order me special science books that the library did not have. They were in some sort of shared library program...I think they still do that at libraries. The librarian was in her late sixties and she knew how to do her job well. I guess not many kids had interest in things and she noticed I was interested in all sorts of weird stuff so she helped me and maybe a dozen others get all the books they wanted. Back then most kids were more interested in sports and socializing, not many kids went out of their way to learn more.

I wonder if there are still people like that working in libraries these days when everyone seems to just search the internet and grab all sorts of BS that reinforces the beliefs they hold.

Different times back then. Less access to information but the quality of learning much greater as you had to search and learn from...books! Now books have been replaced with every sh*** information you can find online and even though the internet is the largest library that has ever existed not many know how to use it properly and efficiently.

You are absolutely correct!

And my question is why on earth others are angered when one states there are only two biological sexes and nothing else! And I will repeat after you: I don't really see how challenging science in this matter would anger others, but this is 2023.
