I entertained flat earth ideas for awhile as a thought experiment. I can see someone believing it wholeheartedly. I don't see any reason to debate it, because empirical evidence one way or the other is hard to come by, and also I see no real harm in believing earth is flat. Especially since I believe they're ultimately wrong.
Supposedly the centrifugal force from the rotation of the earth causes a bulge. Therefore, the globe earth model is not actually a perfect sphere.
The earth is actually egg shaped
It is not a perfect sphere
Are you saying that gravity is powerful enough to prevent everything from pulling away from the earth? Doubtful. Your model suggests a speed of 1000 mph at the equator.
But there would be very little centrifugal force at the poles. Please explain why we don’t feel more gravity at the poles?
If gravity truly exists, and keeps us from flying off the earth...gravitation would feel different at different points on the globe.
It does
It is different on different points on earth
We should be able to feel it.
Why?
What makes stuff fall if gravity dont exist?
Remember...gravity has never been proven. It is still only a theory. Your conclusions are based on assumptions.
True about gravity being a (working) theory.
<@484198784901840897> @HyperBaroque Please research and look at the Selenilion Eclipse.
Engineers still use even rough constants for force of gravity, such as just simply 9.8m/s^2 , and get things done. So even though gravity is "just" a theory, it is a working one.
You do knoe electromagnetism is also a thepry right gwench?
Explain how it’s possible for a lunar Selenilion eclipse can occurs when the moon and sun are on opposite horizons at the same time.

@DrPeper Of course. A Tesla theory. The greatest mind that ever existed.
Wat
No
No?
Electromagnetism is not tesla's theory
Sorry. No. Tesla used that theory for his many inventions.
I know
But tesla disnt come up with it
Or most of the break throughs in it
Yes, i am aware of a magnetic field
Even the electron itself is just a theory, one can't really prove the existence of an electron in a final, ultimate way. You can infer an electron's presence, though, and use that inference to get predictable results out of everything from conductive materials, to chemistry, to color applications.
The Selenilion eclipse is where the moon and sun are on opposite horizons from each other. Very rare.
9.8mps squared is the effect
not the cause
*9.81
However the shadow that eclipses the moon starts from the top and migrates downward. Please explain how that is even possible.
i would like to see the data shows the acceleration was tested on every square foot at sea level. i remember reading articles saying there is places on earth where the acceleration did not match the standard model and scienctist were baffled by it for decades and only recently have the come up with guesses (thats right guess work) on how that could be.
