For decades, we've been measuring our universe to be geometrically flat,
but a team of cosmologists are now reporting that our latest measurements actually prefer something rounder.

How could we believed for decades that our universe is flat? I am quite confused by this idea.

A few lines of evidence say its flat

One says its round

May be either or neither, fundamentally we need more data

The universe is an illusion. A dream and you are the only one in it

A crazy guy once told me that nothing is real, and that the universe is all in my head.

My question is how many and what drugs you gotta take to get that high?

I don't know the answer because I don't do any drugs.

That's a normal position. It's called a relativistic or materialistic view. The sophists in the antic Greek represented his view.

A philosopher from a very long time ago in Greece can not remember his name said you can never prove anyone else exiats and that this is not in your head there is just no way to prove that.

Philosophy doesn't prove any shit because it is not objective. All these philosophers are just guys with opinions. Maybe the exceptions are Descartes and Aristotle. Whatever, philosophy proves nothing.

Shows how much you understand. Philosophy was based on logic not opinion. If you tried to argue or debate a philosopher and you did not even understand basic logic or how to logically debate they would tear you apart. Take a college course on logic then philosophy and you will understand. They discovered through logical discussion there must be atoms way before we could even hope to confirm it. Honestly I took an amazing course on Philosophy and logic blew my mind man. I would say research into it the fact we do not have philosophers now makes no sense. You can discover things with numbers but also words and logic. I thought they were just opinionated assholes once upon a time but I was so off. There was a philosopher who debated the Catholic Church once on how Good and Evil must proceed God and have been around before him intereating rwad because logically it is sound. Take a logic course
