which has a spherical radius

2019-11-19 17:18:35 UTC  

and?

2019-11-19 17:18:48 UTC  

could also apply to a flat surface earth. nobody said it was a disk

2019-11-19 17:18:57 UTC  

we have no idea what is underneath

2019-11-19 17:19:16 UTC  

imagine a magic 8-ball toy

2019-11-19 17:19:22 UTC  

flat spot on top of a sphere

2019-11-19 17:19:36 UTC  

Gravity could work with a flat earth if it’s infinite

2019-11-19 17:19:41 UTC  

Or big enough

2019-11-19 17:20:33 UTC  

or, say, a longer cylinder.

2019-11-19 17:20:54 UTC  

Why not

2019-11-19 17:20:59 UTC  

but then logically, the sphere would have to be so big that all of it would be affected at the same rate

2019-11-19 17:21:11 UTC  

and that still doesn't explain how it would have formed

2019-11-19 17:21:23 UTC  

the earth being infinitely big makes no sense

2019-11-19 17:21:25 UTC  

though, according to mainstream science, a cylinder can't form that way.

2019-11-19 17:23:11 UTC  

true

2019-11-19 17:26:27 UTC  

The "attraction" of mass to a central point is uniform in all directions, so particulate would naturally accumulate in a sphere.

2019-11-19 17:27:44 UTC  

or, roughly sphere-shaped. Beyond a certain mass, though, the mass is dense enough to continually "fall" inwards, collapsing further into a sphere.

I read up on mountains and gravity and, apparently, mountains actually lose half their height by around 20 millions years.

2019-11-19 17:31:37 UTC  

*well then*

2019-11-19 17:35:08 UTC  

it's not science. has never been observed. cannot be replicated. not testable

2019-11-19 17:35:23 UTC  

it's just a supposition

2019-11-19 17:35:35 UTC  

we still don't even know what causes gravity

2019-11-19 17:35:41 UTC  

in 2019

2019-11-19 17:35:49 UTC  

ergo we can't replicate it

2019-11-19 17:35:52 UTC  

tune it

2019-11-19 17:35:55 UTC  

to test it in the lab

2019-11-19 17:36:10 UTC  

the fundamental cause is still unknown

2019-11-19 17:36:23 UTC  

Yeah, it is presupposition.

2019-11-19 17:36:27 UTC  

right

2019-11-19 17:36:39 UTC  

that's all it is

2019-11-19 17:36:45 UTC  

no data to support

2019-11-19 17:37:46 UTC  

what seems to cause it is the mass of the object. The idea is that it warps the fabric of spacetime, distorting the path of other objects

2019-11-19 17:37:52 UTC  

that's how gravity works

2019-11-19 17:37:53 UTC  

LOL

2019-11-19 17:37:57 UTC  

uh

2019-11-19 17:37:58 UTC  

ok

2019-11-19 17:38:03 UTC  

it's still just a theory

2019-11-19 17:38:09 UTC  

there is no space

2019-11-19 17:38:22 UTC  

every scientific observation has been used to create theories

2019-11-19 17:38:24 UTC  

but it's a theory. space time is a concept

2019-11-19 17:38:27 UTC  

they're all theories
