The very real fact that all observable science requires is that pressure is sealed by a container
That we experience and can demonstrate
ah the vacuum argument
Nothing about space is something we can demonstrate
as in?
The medium is a fairytale
We can demonstrate that rockets work in vacuums
exactly
plus
the atmosphere isn't a constant pressure
it gradually decreases in pressure with altitude
which proves that it is possible to go into space
Via rocket
so there's no huge pressure difference between the edge of our atmosphere and the beginning of a near-vacuum that is space
Oh yeah well my unicorn knows how to use a time machine
?
Rockets don't thrust in vacuums unless you can create a medium to push off
They thrust off themselves
And then it wouldn't be a vacuum
it's not a perfect vacuum
rockets work
by seperating matter from the craft
this creates kinetic energy
Even if you COULD demonstrate it, your medium doesn't exist
that applies thrust to the craft
So you created a boat with no water
no medium is required
think about it like this
let's say
you are in space, floating, right
no gravity, for all practical purposes a vacuum
now imagine
If you think that small tube is a vacuum you are not being honest with yourself
in front of you, is a large block
if you push off the block
you and the rock will both move in opposite directions
the same is happening with a rocket engine
the fuel mixes with oxidizer and is ignited to expand in a chemical reactipno
