@Matt85 What's gravity?
redredred · M
Step off a ten story building, you’ll get a crash course in gravity.
TBIman · 41-45, M
@redredred Look Red, why is it soooooo very important to you, that clearly motionless plain beneath our feet, be an extremely ridiculous spinning ball?

I really would like an answer. I mean to hate humans who just live free of this oppressive government is fucked up bro. Do I do a little research bro. There is so much evidence out there that conclusively refutes the 24,901 ball.

@TBIman what is the motive for this conspiracy? If you can’t even guess at a potential motive then your whole conspiracy notion falls apart.

Gravity is the weakest of the four basic forces. It does, however work over galactic distances. Matter attracts other matter gravitationally. In space matter accretes and the body grows in size. The only rational shape for such accretion is spherical; no other shape makes any sense, certainly not a disk.

Go back to motive. Unless you can give any reasonable motive for keeping a flat-earth a secret and pushing a false narrative about spherical earth (and all other planets) then you have a huge burden to prove your idea.

@TBIman

try reading what you wrote yourself

https://odysee.com/@EricDubay:c/WhyWouldTheyLieAboutFlatEarth:3?r=BCfYmKRH5f8mS4YmDFsy61fy3v3n4BFE

what the fuck? what language is it in?

continuing the discussion requires the potential interlocutor to have the ability to express images in one of the legitimate code chains

if you have a mind, please reformulate your images into sign symbols, if images in your head are capable to be built into logical constructions

@fakable I always read what I write, but I have a traumatic brain injury.

@TBIman
then it's okay
keep talking crap
people love it
but for combat space fighters, your thoughts will remain forever inaccessible
Let me guess. You think that tennis ball is somehow "evidence" that the Earth isn't a globe because it's actually flat.
Well, if that's the case, then you're [b]wrong[/b]. But I'm hoping that ISN'T the case, because that would be rather embarrassing on your part.

@Cassie2083 There have been a few flat-earth believers on this site.
DrWatson · 70-79, M
Many flat earth believers say they do not believe in gravitational force. But apparently you believe in centrifugal force.
DrWatson · 70-79, M
@TBIman But what gives an object its weight? Weight is, by definition, the force of gravity acting on an object.

w = mg

Where w = weight, m = mass, and g = acceleration due to gravity. It's a special case of Newton's Law, F = ma.

The same mass will have different weights on the Earth as on the Moon because the two bodies have different gravitational accelerations.

But you don't believe in planets, so you probably dismiss what I just said as nonsense. I encourage you to read my recent post about things I have observed with my own eyes while looking at the moon through my telescope.
TBIman · 41-45, M
@DrWatson Mass gives things weight. All you see through a telescope is a bunch of moving lights.
DrWatson · 70-79, M
@TBIman The amount of weight that mass produces depends on the strength of the gravitational field the mass is in. I have already explained that, and I am sure that I am not the first to have said it.

What you say about telescopes is false. Through my telescope, I have seen, first hand, that Mars rotates. I have seen shadows of lunar mountains cast on the plains. I have seen a meteor strike the moon. At high magnification, it is easy to see that the lunar landscape is strewn with rocks. Again, I invite you to read my recent post about what can be seen on the moon through a telescope. It is not true that all you see through a scope is moving lights!

Two parting thoughts:

1) If gravity is not real, how do you explain the results of the Cavendish experiment? Some science museums have this set up so that visitors can perform the experiment themselves.

2) If the earth does not rotate, how do you explain the motion of a Foucault pendulum?

But you will keep repeating the same memorized lines over and over, completely ignoring any evidence that people show you to the contrary. For example, any time, from now on, that you say that all one can see through a telescope is moving lights, you will be consciously lying! And you know it. And you have conveniently ignored the things I have said to counter your other claims.

If by chance you cling to this worldview for Biblical reasons, you must know that many Christians (like me) accept modern science. And you must also know that lying is not God-like behavior.

(If that last part does not apply to you, skip it. But it probably applies to some of the people who read this.)



Good bye.

what causes the water to spin away from the tennis ball?
TBIman · 41-45, M
@DavidSBianchet centrifugal force.
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
Centrifugal forces, which on a planetary scale is gravity.
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
@TBIman No I’ve no intention of actually hurting you. But if you’re going to sell flat Earth, ridicule is more than suitable.
TBIman · 41-45, M
@WintaTheAngle Why is ridicule more than suitable? I am not hurting anyone by offering a different perspective on the world. I totally realize that it sounds ridiculous, but that's only due to the brainwashed spell that most of the world is still under.

Have you ever researched the flat Earth? Or do you believe it to be just another "conspiracy theory?" Believe me when I tell you that the Earth is provably [u]not[/u] a spinning water ball corkscrewing throughout infinite space. Once you know that then you begin looking for other options of what it could be. I am open to any shape that the Earth could be... as long as that shape possesses 0 curvature.

You should look into flat Earth. I was totally blown away by finding out that flat Earth was in fact the truth.

@MarmeeMarch Psst! Don't go there! 😂
TBIman · 41-45, M
@MarmeeMarch No, I mean in general. Will water ever stick to a ball, spinning or not?
