You have no idea how science works, do you?
You can observe gravity. Therefore there is gravity.
The next question then is WHAT CAUSES gravity? That's then where the scientific theories come in.
In science you always start with an observation, then you develop a hypothesis and then you verify it through experiments and formulate a conclusion.
In bullshit pseudoscience like flat earth, you start with the conclusion and then try to find things to support it. That's why you fail so badly.
For example, you claim that air gets opaque beyond a certain distance. That claim is not based on any kind of observation or evidence but you need it to be true because otherwise, you have to admit that you don't have an explanation for things not being visible which would be if the earth was flat.
Unfortunately, I already know that you won;t understand what I just explained and will most likely just reply with another video.
True. Gravity is a scientific law, millennia old. It is the phenomenon of falling, nothing more. Now gravitation - that is a very different matter and only a few centuries old.
Spot on. Though what an experiment is, how it works, and what constitutes a valid hypothesis are woefully misunderstood. Scientific illiteracy is ubiquitous.
For example, you think there is an experiment which confirms the hypothesis for how gravitation causes gravity - but there isn’t and never was.
Of course it is. The question you should be asking is why you don’t want it to be true. The air is opaque (technically translucent; ultimately effectively opaque when there is enough of it) for the same reasons the water is. Why cant you see the shark swimming out in the ocean from underwater near the shore? It’s too far away, and the water is opaque (ultimately/effectively). That’s the reason sharks “see” by their skin - they get much better range that way.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with videos (or any media, including text) - but i also prefer discussion and more or less ignore the videos (because they most often just waste time).
Air and water are different substances. Your argument is nonsensical.
That's like saying "Of course, clear glass is opaque. Look at this piece of granite. You cleary cannot look through it".
True, but they both behave as fluids and have remarkably similar properties. For example, if they were very different pascal’s law ought not work for gas - as it is far more compressible than liquid - yet in most instances it does. This is one example of many.
It’s not an argument. It is a simple analogy to help you understand. I see you are committed not to, and i cannot (and would not if i could) force you to learn anything.
Yes, of course it is (in the same way we are figuratively using the word opaque to mean translucent). Transparent isn’t really a thing in reality. Most everything we consider transparent is in fact translucent, and a thicker layer of it will be - effectively - opaque. Why you don’t want to know this easily demonstrable fact is intriguing to me. I think it should intrigue you as well.
Well, show that air turns opaque beyond a certain distance.
Should be easy. Go ahead, impress me.
