Is the earth flat?

Those amazing workers i mentioned have only gone and pulled a huge white cover over the south of England.
Must have done it straight after the dark one with stars on replaced the blue one they used all day yesterday.

Clever fuckers

Hey @smashup how is gas pressure (like our pressurized atmosphere) created?

Here I'll help you out:



Remember what science is?



So where can we observe gas pressure being created in the natural world without a container?

Alpha brother..... if you were really arguing in good faith, you'd acknowledge certain things that have been said or brought up to you, instead of conveniently choosing to ignore them as you see fit.

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.

Tito you are making a reification fallacy. How is the gas pressure created? Let me put it here again:

The pressure of a gas is the force that the gas exerts on the WALLS of its CONTAINER. This is basic science. You are making an assertion that gas pressure can be created without a container. So show me where we can observe this in nature. Show me a practical demonstration of this happening.

And again you are making another assertion that a higher pressure energy will not move to the negative energy of a vacuum. So show me where we can observe this in nature. Show me a practical demonstration of this happening.

You bring up gravity again, so where can we observe mass attracting to mass in the natural world.

I am using real science, all you are bringing is pseudoscience.



Question Tito: if you take 10 pounds of 1 substance in one hand, and 10 pounds of another substance in the other hand, and drop them at the same time, what will happen?
