well since they like to teach us the inverse of the truth, perhaps 71% is ground not covered by water - who knows

or maybe its a lot more complicated than that

or perhaps there is an equal balance of all or at least there once was

The sea is very deep, we have yet to explore the most of it

@Seeker of Truth so wait your saying that only 29% of the earth is covered in water because the government says water covers 71% of the earths surface?

I am saying that perhaps if you added all the water, then perhaps all land would be covered and perhaps equal in their depth compared to each other.

this included what might be considered waters above and water below

just an idea

@brother mutton I am not saying anything to you.

@Seeker of Truth whoa ok there dude coming in a little hot dont you think?

Not really.

@brother mutton how can you prove that earth is covered in X% of land?

@danny aerial photography at a sustained altitude

meaning that the scale will remain the same

you can't go above a certain point without reaching the firmament

get your measuring bucket and start heaving 😆

@danny im not even going to go into the firmament, but it really doesnt matter so long as the altitude is the same

have you seen the people who attach cameras to a ballon and it goes up? at some points it just pops and i think thats the firmament

also, why do they always fisheye lenses for the expirments?

why wouldn't they use a normal camera

or maybe they just need a stronger / bigger balloon

fish eye globe deception

it will pop up still, the firmament doesn't let anything go out

@danny if the firmament (which to my knowledge is solid) existed the balloon wouldnt pop but would come to an abrupt stop when it hits it

do u see nasa rocket launces? they always go in an arch

launches*

if they go at a fast speed and hit something hard, it will pop

@danny rockets need to go into an arch in order to achieve a circular orbit as launching straight up would mean more correction burns to get into a stable orbit

@danny dude its a balloon, how fast do you think its gonna go?

did you see how much lands it can see by the minute?

it must be going very fast

and theres less air the further up u go

so more acceleration

@danny dude those videos are fairly commonly in a timelapse, and due to the fact that relative density is a thing on both models the balloon would slow down as there is less oxygen meaning its closer to its density area

@Seeker of Truth yes the ideal circular orbit maintains a constant altitude and with enough velocity can be anywhere so long as its out of the atmosphere, looking at what im assuming is a long exposure shot of a rocket launch that rocket looks to be going into a low earth orbit possibly for sattilite placement or a possible station resupply
