Is the earth flat?

[TitoFan]

The pressure of a gas is the force that the gas exerts on the WALLS of its CONTAINER. Are you disputing this?

Are you disputing the existence of atmospheric pressure? Where's the "container" for that? I already gave you an out (that thick black line at 30 km), but you didn't take it.

I have already explained to you that the atmospheric gradient works on temperature. The denser gases are near the surface causing the temperature to increase. Hot goes to cold, higher energy goes to lower.

Pressure Alpha. Pressure. You left out the word "pressure" from your statement. Atmospheric PRESSURE gradient. Are you again denying the existence of atmospheric pressure? If so, what do those little round gauges measure? What do manometers measure? "Denser gases near the surface cause the temperature to increase." Classic. Do us all a favor. Stick to voodoo magic and leave engineering and science to the rest of us.

I'll also ask again, 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?

I skipped through the rest of the gobbledygook nonsense to get to this question, so that you don't continue to ask repeatedly.

Answer: Provided the opposing (to gravity) air resistance forces are equal in both, they'll both fall with the same velocity and acceleration toward the ground. F=ma In this case F would be the force of gravity minus the air resistance forces opposing it.

Here's your question answered again.

But I fully expect you to continue to parrot your cult-like proclamations. Then you say WE'RE the ones who are brainwashed.

C'mon man...

Why are you guys still bothering

Why are you guys still bothering

Good Point.



Fuck it.

[TitoFan]

Why are you guys still bothering

I'm a half-breed.

Half social worker..... half hopeless masochist..... half eternal optimist..... half fierce technical person.

Yes.... that's more than two halves..... but then I also believe the Earth is round.

Interesting. Here's an excerpt from that article:



"While Landrum didn't explicitly blame YouTube for the rise in flat Earth believers, she does believe that Google could be doing more to stop the spread of scientifically incorrect ideas. "There's a lot of helpful information on YouTube but also a lot of misinformation," she said, as reported by The Guardian. "Their algorithms make it easy to end up going down the rabbit hole, by presenting information to people who are going to be more susceptible to it." Google has acknowledged there's more it could do to combat the spread of false information on YouTube and, as recently as January, outline new plans designed to push back."



Too late, Google. The damage is already done. The proverbial closing of the barn door after the horse has gone.



So in other words, here's what Flat Earthers pretend:



YouTube > (Decades of space flight) + (countless scientists, physicists, mathematicians) + (routine transglobal airplane travel) + (COMMON SENSE)

Is that Don Omega or the Iron Truth narrating that? I forget which one is which.

HAha On that vid the first thing the guy does is quote from people in the 1800's. And that is exactly where it began to grow from ,them and some literal bible readers regarding the 'four corners of the Earth' verse. Heres an idea: Go and get a picture off the edge if theres an edge. While you are at it; stop the shadow of the earth being curved on the moon during an eclipse. So if it is flat why are we the only one that is? The rest up there are elliptical.If they are also flat (like the Earth) why are not some seen as a line through their elevation view or do they all face us on a plan view all around the Earth?

How is that pressure created Tito? You are ignoring the scientific fact that the pressure of a gas is the force that the gas exerts on the WALLS of its CONTAINER.

I have already explained to you that the atmospheric gradient works on temperature. The denser gases are near the surface causing the temperature to increase. Hot goes to cold, higher energy goes to lower.

Pressure Alpha. Pressure. You left out the word "pressure" from your statement. Atmospheric PRESSURE gradient. Are you again denying the existence of atmospheric pressure?

Yes Tito, we already went through this, it's based on a density gradient, the denser gases fall to the surface, increasing the pressure, which increases the temperature, causing the higher energy to rise to the lower energy above. The fact remains that "gas pressure" is the force that the gas exerts on the WALLS of its CONTAINER. I am not denying that we have atmospheric pressure, I am denying your claim that we can create pressure without a container. And again you would need to provide a practical demonstration of this.

I'll also ask again, 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?

I skipped through the rest of the gobbledygook nonsense to get to this question, so that you don't continue to ask repeatedly.

Answer: Provided the opposing (to gravity) air resistance forces are equal in both, they'll both fall with the same velocity and acceleration toward the ground. F=ma In this case F would be the force of gravity minus the air resistance forces opposing it.

So are you saying both substances would fall?

As to the link you provided, a gas is described as a large number of particles, all of which are in constant, rapid, random motion. The randomness arises from the particles' many collisions with each other and with the walls of the container. You can't just claim the air we are breathing in the atmosphere, as that is what we are disputing. The fact that we can't create gas pressure without a container. And we can't touch on space and stars yet, because we haven't settled the gas pressure situation, which is a problem in itself for 'space'.

Again all I see are explanations and assertions, so us a practical demonstration of this happening.
