Gravity is a well-established phenomenon

2019-11-10 19:00:20 UTC  

We can show you how two masses interact with each other based on gravity

2019-11-10 19:00:26 UTC  

as for today, it is no secret any more, that noone can define what gravity is.

2019-11-10 19:00:37 UTC  

yes we observe that phenomenon

2019-11-10 19:00:40 UTC  

I can define what gravity is

2019-11-10 19:01:01 UTC  

you can define what you observe.

2019-11-10 19:01:02 UTC  

It’s the force between any two objects that have mass

2019-11-10 19:01:23 UTC  

ok, cool, i observe the same

2019-11-10 19:01:23 UTC  

The attractive force*

2019-11-10 19:01:47 UTC  

Like, we can literally model gravity with math

2019-11-10 19:02:02 UTC  

We have equations to explain this, that work 100% of the time

2019-11-10 19:02:14 UTC  

Gm1m2/r^2

2019-11-10 19:02:31 UTC  

The equation for the force of gravity between any two objects^

2019-11-10 19:03:28 UTC  

ok, it does

2019-11-10 19:04:17 UTC  

Gravity is an apparent force, not an actual force

2019-11-10 19:04:24 UTC  

Just gonna clarify that

2019-11-10 19:04:54 UTC  

But your statement that earth has to be a sphere just because we observe attractive force which is very apparent, no doubt, is no relevant

2019-11-10 19:05:14 UTC  

we do not know the real nature of our enviroment beyound our perception

2019-11-10 19:05:33 UTC  

We have physics. We can model this stuff.

2019-11-10 19:05:47 UTC  

Anything as massive as earth will inevitably become a sphere

2019-11-10 19:05:55 UTC  

This is simple thermodynamics

2019-11-10 19:06:13 UTC  

I will guess that you already have come accross the fact that most of the truth that we got learned is based on theories and assumptions that those theories might be correct

2019-11-10 19:06:53 UTC  

You understand that “theories” in science are **incredibly** reliable, right?

2019-11-10 19:07:08 UTC  
2019-11-10 19:07:19 UTC  

This is for evolution ^ but it gets the same point across

2019-11-10 19:08:45 UTC  

@Say can you observe the moon right now?

2019-11-10 19:08:53 UTC  

No

2019-11-10 19:08:54 UTC  

Not right now, no.

2019-11-10 19:09:28 UTC  

i can. does it make earth a globe?

2019-11-10 19:09:44 UTC  

Not necessarily

2019-11-10 19:10:06 UTC  

You could claim a spotlight but you’d need a mechanism to explain such a phenomenon

2019-11-10 19:10:13 UTC  

^

2019-11-10 19:10:40 UTC  

Regardless of what flat earthers say, you would see infinitely far on a flat plane.

2019-11-10 19:10:46 UTC  

In the way we understand light to function, you need an explanation as to how the light from the sun doesn’t illuminate the whole earth at once

2019-11-10 19:11:01 UTC  

good. and so here is an explanation. and we all know it. it is spherical, the Moon circles the globe earth and so the story goes.

2019-11-10 19:11:38 UTC  

That is explanation of the phenomena.

2019-11-10 19:11:42 UTC  

But not the only one.

2019-11-10 19:12:00 UTC  

We literally just told you you’d need another explanation for the phenomenon

2019-11-10 19:12:28 UTC  

Yes we need the explanation, not that our lives depent on that. So lets find it

2019-11-10 19:12:29 UTC  

That’s as close to asking for the phenomenon as literally asking

2019-11-10 19:12:45 UTC  

You don’t have a possible explanation? What?
