I've explained the pressure issue to you backwards and forwards, but you keep on harping about container to whoever will listen.
You don't believe in gravity.... fine. We can do this without gravity.
Air has a density. According to you, it's what makes things fall (the scientific world disagrees, but let's proceed).
As the dense air stays close to the ground, it creates pressure. With me so far?
As you go up in altitude, the density of air, or number of air molecules in a given volume, decreases. This occurs in a pressure gradient. No walls.... no containers.... no giant tank or dome.
At some point, there is very little air in the space (I know you don't like that word, but it's the only one that fits at the moment).
Very few air molecules, very little air pressure.
Finally, there is an absence of air, thus creating the lack of pressure. A vacuum, if you will.
Why doesn't the high pressure air rush to take the space of the low pressure air, you ask?
Density.
That magical "force" that makes things fall.
But whatever bro. Had a few minutes to kill before breakfast and thought I'd give it another futile shot.
