Is there an example of a large object being forced into a spherical shape due to its mass anywhere?

speculative mathematical model idolatry

no substantial evidence that mass attracts mass

Yeah, we are aware of the theory of gravity

lol

we dont know why things fall toward the earth. the idea that it's the earth's mass which causes things to fall requires substantiation.

Zero gravity planes only demonstrate that things fall at a constant rate, not the cause of that falling.

Pictures were faked in darkroom "photoshops" before the means of digital manipulation.

Also sophisticated miniatures & special effects have been employed in the space program from its inception.

"Douglas Trumbull, the industry pioneer behind the special effects of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Blade Runner joins post-secondary students and faculty to discuss his remarkable career in visual effects and his own directorial projects.This Higher Learning event was held on December 9, 2010 at TIFF Bell Lightbox." https://youtu.be/FBaZQojd1_s

This guy worked for NASA before being hired by Stanley Kubrick to create special effects for 2001. He describes all of this and the means by which NASA faked its early missions in the video above.

Do you have any proof that it wasn't?

Zero g planes aren't evidence that mass attracts mass. I already accept that things fall at 9.8m/s/s

Newton himself acknowledge that he didn't know what the cause of gravitation was.

If NASA was willing to lie about their missions, obviously they would also be willing to lie about their budget.

Their budget report is not a strong argument to support the reality of their missions.

That's true, we don't know why atoms stay together. I already said I agree that things fall at the rate Newton measured. But only if it's caused by mass attracting mass would object tend toward sphericity - that's what this argument was originally about.

You don't know for a fact whether it's true or not.

It's a claim that isn't easy to prove or disprove. Personally, I am highly skeptical of it.

Why would the fact that things fall on earth force objects into spherical shapes?

agent smith is a bot

Do you really think I'm simply unaware of basic physics?

The point is that you're simply taking experts' word for it rather than demanding tangible and reproducible evidence.

No it hasn't. You are assuming that the movement of the "planets" is caused by the same force that causes things to fall on earth.

That's where the evidence is lacking.

I dont have a better explanation. But my lack of a better explanation is not proof that your speculative mathematics provide one.

I think that the "experiment" used to derive the gravitational constant is bogus.

Without solid evidence of "Big G", the heliocentric model is merely speculative.

The equations are not proof. You have to include a large number of assumptions to arrive at those conclusions.

bye

equations are not proof. obviously. what makes you think I dont understand the equations?
