You think the feds are just now working on the dot wins and it’s FE they’re pushing
How do you look at these 50 pictures and conclude that they’re all fiction
Amazing to me
As a flat earther, you should agree with me that any and all pictures alone can be faked and shopped
Okay then look at the fucking napkin picture and have you ever seen a crumpled up piece of paper or napkin before?
Did gravity pull it flat against the ground/surface?
No?
Or have you ever witnessed smoke rising from a fire?
Why doesn’t gravity pull the smoke down to the ground?
Or why doesn’t the earths supposed 1600 kmh spin at the equator effect the smoke column?
It’s like a half Km per second
No pictures needed
Just use your brain
The material strength of the napkin in crumpled form is greater than the force of gravity. Same reason we don't pancake against the ground
Air has mass and exerts force. Smoke in a vaccume would indeed fall to the ground, but in the natural atmosphere, sufficieny light particles get carried by air currents. In the case of fire, the hotter and less dense air travels upward, carrying the smoke along with it while the cooler air fills in the space below.
Speed is relative. If you've ever travelled on a plane or train, you'd know that you can be travelling 100s of miles per hour without feeling anything. The air inside the cabin/train car has accelerated to the same speed as the vehicle and you, so there is no wind knocking you down.
The atmosphere is the same. Through influence from the spinning earth, the air has accelerated to be in equibrium with the earth, give or take based on weather patterns. Recall above that smoke is carried by the air.
Even in a vaccume, if one observed an object get launched from earth into the sky (for instance, a stomp rocket), the initial forces on the object pre-launch bring the object in equibrium with the earth's rotation, bringing the object to a seemingly standstill to an observer also standing on earth. At launch, the only additional forces on the object are those exerted by the launcher pointing away from earth, so as the object leaves earth, it still stays relatively inline with the ground because no forces have been exerted to counter the object's sideways motion.
I am genuinely curious, if not gravity, what to you call the force that pulls a ball to the ground when you let go of it, or keeps you from falling into the sky when you jump?
Gravity is strong enough to hold trillions of gallons of water snug against a violently spinning globe but the napkin overpowers it
Amazing. Amazing that you believe this.
Do you know what cognitive dissonance is?
“What pulls things to the ground then?”
HAVE YOU HEARD OF DENSITY BEFORE
AND FUCKING INERTIA?! IS IT INERTIA CARRYING THE BIRD ALONG WITH THE VIOLENTLY SPINNING EARTH AS THE BIRD FLOATS TO AND FRO, CHANGING DIRECTION AS THEY PLEASE
THATS NOT INERTIA
" material strength of the napkin in crumpled form is greater than the force of gravity "
"... is greater than the force of DENSITY " - corrected
" sufficieny light particles get carried by air currents " - this is, again, density and buoyancy. Not only is it not gravity, when we try to apply the theory of gravity to what we are observing, it doesn't make sense
" what to you call the force that pulls a ball to the ground when you let go of it, or keeps you from falling into the sky when you jump"
LITERALLY DENSITY
The answer, is weight!
Weight is an intrinsic and inexorable property of all matter, and in no way imbued by fictional "fields" that do not in any way exist (nor can they in any way be measured).
Everyone in this thread is lost in minutia. Which is exactly how thread based conversations are designed to 'work'. It is how misinformation is created. It is why 'debate' is pushed on thread based forums, when in reality, debates can only take place in person. There is a reason the older format of forums disappeared, and that reason is the endorphin feedback loop.
Simply taking part in this thread, we are unknowingly taking part in misinformation.
I’ve heard every insult before
They have no effect
Understand that I’m presenting easily repeatable and verifiable evidence
And you’re the one calling me stupid
Present some evidence and go from there
