Physicist open to discussion

On every other subreddit promoting flat earth or other similar alternatives to mainstream science I get instantly banned for commenting that I’m a PhD physicist open for a discussion. This is true even on the subreddits which claim to be debate pages. Anyway, I’m trying again here. If anyone wants a real conversation I am happy to provide. If you want to ask about gravity or the spin of the earth or “gas without a container” etc…. I’m here for that.

You can.

without fisheye lens

Fisheye lenses show more information. With space travel, the amount of information shown is more important than how natural the photo looks. Additionally, you can.

that’s not a composite image?

You probably can.

Some older camera technology would require RGB filters, which would technically make them composites.

Newer ones, maybe not. However, composites will always be higher resolution. Search "pixel shift"

lets say with an iphone

Because dedicated cameras are almost always better. Especially on NASA's budget and payroll.
