i think it is
but that's beside the point
the point was that no one i've argued with can disprove it
Still no correct map of the flat earth?
why do you say "gravity doesn't work in accordance with a flat earth theory"?
I don't see them as mutually exclusive...
Even if we assume the mainstream understanding of gravity
how would it work then?
how wouldn't it?
if gravity is mass attracting mass...one could imagine a flat-surfaced earth with the same mass as the globe model
equations would work fine
How's it going, doc! I think because gravity pulls mass towards a center of gravity, so a sphere would be the natural resting state for any accumulate pulled together through gravity.
Hey @Drewski4343 !
exactly
yeah I've heard this argument before. it's rubbish. look at huge mountains. they are not globes. so is there some "critical mass" at which point things turn globular?
never observed before
what is that mass?
what does that have to do with anything?
saying that earth should be a sphere bcs of gravity is BS. it's not science
has never been observed...or replicated
I believe mountains are formed from plate shifting, though.
but if there is a natural effect of gravity to force large things into a globe..
why are they not "globing" ๐
it's rubbish
not science
because the theory of gravity states that gravity is a field
a "field"
which has a spherical radius
and?
could also apply to a flat surface earth. nobody said it was a disk
we have no idea what is underneath
imagine a magic 8-ball toy
flat spot on top of a sphere
Gravity could work with a flat earth if itโs infinite
Or big enough
or, say, a longer cylinder.
Why not
but then logically, the sphere would have to be so big that all of it would be affected at the same rate
and that still doesn't explain how it would have formed
the earth being infinitely big makes no sense
