yes we observe that phenomenon
I can define what gravity is
you can define what you observe.
It’s the force between any two objects that have mass
ok, cool, i observe the same
The attractive force*
Like, we can literally model gravity with math
We have equations to explain this, that work 100% of the time
Gm1m2/r^2
The equation for the force of gravity between any two objects^
ok, it does
Gravity is an apparent force, not an actual force
Just gonna clarify that
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
we do not know the real nature of our enviroment beyound our perception
We have physics. We can model this stuff.
Anything as massive as earth will inevitably become a sphere
This is simple thermodynamics
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
You understand that “theories” in science are **incredibly** reliable, right?
This is for evolution ^ but it gets the same point across
No
Not right now, no.
i can. does it make earth a globe?
Not necessarily
You could claim a spotlight but you’d need a mechanism to explain such a phenomenon
^
Regardless of what flat earthers say, you would see infinitely far on a flat plane.
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
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.
That is explanation of the phenomena.
But not the only one.
We literally just told you you’d need another explanation for the phenomenon
Yes we need the explanation, not that our lives depent on that. So lets find it
That’s as close to asking for the phenomenon as literally asking
You don’t have a possible explanation? What?
i want to be honest to myself and respect others too.
so yes, i have seen several explanations.
But all have some missing bits.
