Does water always find its own level?

Be careful how you answer.

Surely it just obeys the inverse square law of gravity as proposed by Issac Newton? The Earth is a sphere. attracting everything to its centre, including water. So I guess it would be more accurate to say that "water always finds it's gravtitional level"?

@TBIman Gravity is a belief invented by Newton. If you see a leaf falling from a tree, there is no reason why that happens. Who cares?

If you walk too closely to the edge of a roof and feel an instinctive fear of falling, you might be curious to know why things fall. And if the roof collapses under you, you may want to find out what can be done to build a secure roof under your feet and over your head.

I was an engineer by trade and needed to study Newton's belief in the existence of gravity in order to design and build secure roofs and floors of buildings as well as bridges and highways. I used the theories of physics for earning a living even though I don't believe in the crap. I am like a person who needs to earn a living as a preacher of religion. I don't buy the teachings of the faith even though the truth can set you free.

@sree251 Things fall because they weigh more than the air that surrounds them. It has nothing to do with gravity. There is no such thing as gravity.
sree251 · 41-45, M
@TBIman Of course, there is no such thing as gravity: material things physically attracting one another.

There is no such thing as weight either if you don't believe in the existence of gravity because weight is gravitational force. Forget weight. Just focus on the heaviness of an object. You can feel it with your sense of touch. Stop there. Don't try to explain why. The explanations of science is pure bs called knowledge. You don't need knowledge if you have enough money to live happily without the need to know why things fall.

Try telling that to a globe believer and watch them spaz out.

@TBIman The theory of gravity is being questioned by some academics. I flat out reject it as a statement of existential truth. However, it must be accepted as a practical conceptual tool because it has enabled us to develop the technology to live a modern way of life.

@sree251 Gravity is not real. Deal with it.
sree251 · 41-45, M
@TBIman Don't just say it. Explain how this concept of physics is accepted as a material fact.
TBIman · 41-45, M
@sree251 The fact that gravity has never once been proven to exist.
sree251 · 41-45, M
@TBIman You have got this the wrong way round. Never once has gravity been proven to not exist.

You are like gravity also. You don't exist. Never once have you been proven to not exist.

@sree251 Someone is typing this message to you. If not me, then who?

Please start making sense.

All I am saying and have been saying to you and everyone else here is that none of us live on a spinning ball. If you have some evidence I'd be willing to look at it.

You are a strange individual. Come with some evidence that is not NASA fakery and we can discuss it. If you wish? Good luck finding a shred of factual evidence that supports the spinning space ball.

@sree251 If something does not exist, why should I have to prove to you that it doesn't? I am saying that everything is exactly how it appears to be. That's it. I don't even know what you believe, but through our interaction, I take it that you are one of the slow ones who still believe that they live on a ball that is not protected from the vacuum of "outer space."

Am I correct?

You need to look around and figure it out on your own.

@TBIman And you my friend need to get yourself educated.
sree251 · 41-45, M
@TBIman I don't live anywhere: neither on a ball nor on a flat plane. However, the perceived nature of the world is explained by science. And according to science, I am a human being living on a ball protected from the vacuum of outer space, as you phrased it. I don't believe anything that science says as a matter of fact. I take it for granted because it enables me to live as a human being on a ball. If I reject the belief that I live on a ball, I must keep my life basic and simple, and my home range small. I won't use any electronic gadget (i.e. GPS, TV, radio, internet, cellphone, etc) made with the technology based on the belief in the existence of the ball. I won't even use the clock to tell the time because it is sychronized by atomic clocks to the movement of the ball relative to the Sun.

Do you know what I am saying? If you don't believe in the ball, then live according to your belief. Don't tell yourself that you are living on a flat plane when your lifestyle is exactly the same as someone living on a ball. If you are doing that, then you would be as deluded as an American President who swears that he serves the best interests of the American people. Actually, he is not deluded. He knows he is lying. An Italian prostitute who makes the sign of the cross whenever the church bell toll is deluded.

So, which are you? The President or the whore?

@TBIman By the way, you may have typed the message. It doesn't mean that someone was typing it. There is only the action of typing, there is no actor. When you are eating, there is only the action of eating, there is no eater. When the sun shines, there is only shining,no shiner. When the snow melts, there is melting, no melter. When water flows, there is only flowing, no flow-er.

Keep reciting it as a prayer. It's a form of meditation for attaining the selfless state.

@sree251 Please tell me what you [u]know[/u] to be true about the Earth? It gets confusing for me. It sounds like you still believe that you live on some sort of spinning ball. Am I correct? If so I am asking for one, just ONE irrefutable proof. When you are unable to provide just [u]ONE[/u] irrefutable proof, then, and only then will you understand where I am coming from. I need an answer to the very first question that I asked if you want me to reply,

@sree251 You gotta exist somewhere.
sree251 · 41-45, M
@TBIman Yes, we do exist. It's obvious. We are talking to each other. It's not two people in conversation. Two people are inhabitants of the ball, known as Planet Earth. If you reject the idea of the ball, you must also reject the idea of people, you being one of them.

You don't have to exist anywhere. "Where" implies space as defined by physics. Be free of physics that has created not only the ball but the flat plane also. Get rid of physics. Then, you are free of the ball, the flat plane, space, and time.

@afreshstart77 I've never heard of the "inverse square law of gravity " but because gravity is false I am assuming that inverse square law of gravity is false as well.
