Gravity comes from the incessant spinning of the Earth.
If you go straight along enough you'll end up where you were
even crazy people belive the earth is round.
you can go AROUND the world in a straight line, it has been done.
I know this FOR A FACT, the government knows the Earth is round, and they don't give a rat's ass about it
[about gravity] Basically, big things attract small things. This has been tested many times.
air resistance wouldn't play much part in how fast a person travels down towards the earth. Is it that hard to understand.
The gravity keeps you from descending into space because it holds you down. DUH!
In RE theory, once an object is too far from a massive celestial body, like the Earth or the Sun they go into a state of ingravity, where the forces of gravity are to small to force the object unto them, in other words, the object now only behaves in relation to its own centripetal force of movement. In other words, it retains the speed that was applied to it the last time it was under the influence of a celestial object's larger mass.
we can't design instruments to measure [gravity]
if I cannot feel [gravity], its not happening.
"Majority rules". Its as simple as I can get it. I mean, if the majority believed in FLAT EARTH, I would also believe it. But its not the case!
when something becomes big enough, it creates it's own heat.
Cosmologist do create odd universes, but more appealing ones..
97% of the Earth is water.
the further away from the mass of the earth the slower time will go.
[on dividing by 0] Sure it sounds bad. And yet there it is.
The ISS maintains a constant orbit around the earth because of the frictionless atmosphere it resides in.
Except that there's nothing about round-earth that we haven't already proven.
Why can't I wave hello to my friend in Las Angeles while I'm here in Sydney, Australia?
Forget [Earth Not a Globe]. That is bias.
In REALITY people dont spend [money] on covering up what would ultimately be very widely known
saying that the Earth is accelerating exactly proves my point that when you throw something up, it should stay where it is!!
In the FE model everything would weigh the same.
If you inhaled a lot of air, and then jumped, you would be able to jump higher than normal. I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen. And since air contains water, and we are about 75% water, then wouldn't we be really lightweight if everything is accelerating?
If the earths speed is increasing, how come I don't hear myself speaking backwards when I look up and talk?
Explain to me how you are posting on the internet if satelites dont exist.
also tell me, an object travelling at 9.9m/s straight upwards still falls back to earth.without the presence of gravity and if the earth only moves a 9.8 m/s, it is impossible for it to fall back to earth... yet it does.
If your theory that everything is falling upwards along with Earth was correct, we would be see stars and other objects as lines, instead of as dots in the night sky, much like a camera with a prolonged exposition shows.
If Gravity Didn't Exsist, Either Would Earth! (Or the Solar System)
If you "believe" the Earth is flat it might be...Becasue. Servere. Retardness.
If Earth is constantly moving up then when a car is on a hill shouldn't it stay there? Since it's already on Earth.
If they exist, why haven't I learnt about them in school?
The correct use of words in context is part of grammer so it was a grammer.
What do you mean by the cup not being supported?? It is falling.
All the statements ... are 100% true except a few.
acceleration is directly proportional to the velocity
1. This is not the prevailing model of thought in Minkowski-Einstein spacetime. Anyways, I'm hardly done, I have a few more questions: 4. Why is the causal horizon of the Earth spherical? The causal horizon of the Earth as measured by Earth based instruments is spherical. If the Earth was flat, and as large as you claim it to be in relation to the universe there would be: 1. No observation of the effects of the causal horizon, that is to say: Red shift of galaxies and stars would not be observed, and no celestial bodies would have been observed slipping out of the Earth's causal horizon. 2. The causal horizon would be cylindrical, not spherical and would be impossible to see the "underside" because it would become an avoidance zone.
If the earth is indeed flat, why can't I wave hello to my friend in Las Angeles while I'm here in Sydney, Australia?Also, can you guys explain continental drift to me if the earth is flat? Can you explain volcanoes? If there is a huge ice-wall, wouldn't that hold all the tectonic plates in perfect alignment?Yours,Concerned.

First of all, this is pure nonsence. And the only explination is that it's "special?" Secondly, where's the atmosphere? If there's no gravity, then one of 2 things could occur. 1) The air molecules simply drift of the edge. 2) the air molecules would be compacted to the point that everything would be crushed under the pressure. Also, then in order to have the feeling of moving upwards to simulate gravity, one would need an oppisite force to be pulling agianst. That would mean that the universe would need a floor, and that would have gravity to pull agianst, but then the earth would be pulled downwards and we would all be in free-fall. The only way for the system to work, is if the earth was round, and had it's own gravity.1) No they wouldn't , the air is accelerating.2) Why? Equivalence Principle. Acceleration is exactly like gravitation. You might as well say that about the Round Earth.3) WTF? No. The Earth is accelerating upwards, simulating a gravitational pull. There's no need for a "floor".I know that this post was from a while ago, but....If the air is accelerating upwards along with everything else, wouldn't that mean that if you inhaled a lot of air, and then jumped, you would be able to jump higher than normal?

Why justify an illegitimate attack with a legitimate response?
You can probably edit that all out except for Fredo's quote. But yes, it was extremely retarded.
You forgot this:Quote from: Fredo on May 09, 2008, 01:59:03 PMI know that this post was from a while ago, but....If the air is accelerating upwards along with everything else, wouldn't that mean that if you inhaled a lot of air, and then jumped, you would be able to jump higher than normal?

Time is never wasted when you're wasted all the time
tl;dr
Sorry, Narc, but that's wishful thinking. There are lots of things I could post critically of FE'ers: Floating oceans, dinosaurs with boats, penguins built by conspiracy, etc.
Also, Chris is hot.
Trust we world class physicists have shown that gravitons are good at explaining gravity
the gravity we experience of Earth is a result of the Earth spinning at an extremely high speed.
We're all jealous of Raist.
Edit: PS My sig should be added to your list.

No, but people were dumber back then
i'm sure most of the population also thought that god was watching them
Either way, how does this prove anything?

20 fo seven
