You'd need something the size of the earth to do that
Continents have "sides" you know
so this is all thoery then
Nah
u cant prove water can be in a container with no sides
We can do small scale experiment
We can then extrapolate and look at the earth itself from high up
the continents are sides ? lol
gambino are the continents sides of the container ?
No the earth itself is the container
There are no net sideways forces, only downwards
Why hello
Kinda like an arch doesn't have walls
@The Big Gambino Not entirely true, pressure gradients are homogenous on all sides for fluids
yeah so what is the small scale experiment that shows water in a spherical container with no sides
May I add to the discussion?
sure
I sent a camera and fake airpods to space
add away
ok
Oh no the earth can't hear us because of the airpods
lol
@jeremy we can see the ocean curving by looking at the horizon drop with altitude. This is visible even at the small scale
ok!
u go up u can see farther
Yes bc of curve
thats a thoery
No it's simple geometry
Direct measurement
could be becuase of perspective angular resolution refraction
@The Big Gambino Not necessarily, it's the elevation, not the curvature
their are other options than its curving
Perspective angular resolution refraction is just a jumble word salad
when u look out at the ocean the water appears to be above ur feet its geometry so the water is really above ur feet ?
All of those other options are falsified
ok
i think instead of us debating we should brainstorm an idea for an experiment to prove it
This has been done
