So the EM repulsion between your electrons and those in your chair provide a resistance force balanced with the force you experience due to gravity

2020-03-02 03:50:25 UTC  

If it was more you'd find yourself floating upwards, if it was less the chair would break

2020-03-02 03:50:28 UTC  

Oh ok makes alot more sense when you put it that way

2020-03-02 03:52:05 UTC  

Indeed, that's the established theory. When resolving mechanical problems on earth, there's usually a 'resistance' component involved. As stuff isn't falling through the surface of the earth

2020-03-02 03:53:02 UTC  

So when something, for example, floats on water, the buoyancy force is the dominant resistance force to gravity, stopping the object from sinking further

2020-03-02 03:53:33 UTC  

From the objects point of view it feels no net force, as gravity and the resistance force are balanced

2020-03-02 03:55:43 UTC  

When it comes to buoyancy, the buoyancy force is dependant on the volume of medium (e.g. water) displaced by an object. A dence object, like a bowling ball, displaces less mass of water than it's own mass. Therefore the buoyancy force would be less than gravity. So it will sink until something balances out the forces (such as hitting the seabed)

2020-03-02 03:57:21 UTC  

An aircraft carrier, though more massive than the bowling ball, will displace a greater mass of water than it's own mass. In this case the buoyancy force will be sufficient to balance gravity.

2020-03-02 03:57:56 UTC  

Last I checked the standard bowling ball is mostly cork so in some cases floats but that's nit picking

2020-03-02 03:58:11 UTC  

You can then work out how much of the carrier should be submerged in order to balance forces but it's very late/early so don't want to give the wrong information accidently

2020-03-02 03:58:38 UTC  

Well, a granite boulder then. But yeah.

2020-03-02 04:02:13 UTC  

So essentially no gravity needed just resistance holding things up instead

2020-03-02 04:02:32 UTC  

Air has low resistance so most stuff falls through

2020-03-02 04:02:46 UTC  

Ah see that's the thing. The resistance force is /resisting/ gravity

2020-03-02 04:03:16 UTC  

In the flat Earth model I mean

2020-03-02 04:03:16 UTC  

Without gravity there'd be no force to propel things in a certain direction.

2020-03-02 04:03:22 UTC  

Ohhh yes sorry

2020-03-02 04:04:00 UTC  

Afaik yes from those I've spoken to, though I can't speak for those in this server (heck I'm a glober anyway so what do I know?)

2020-03-02 04:04:19 UTC  

More than I do apparently

2020-03-02 04:05:19 UTC  

I'm not really a glober or a flat earther but I lean more towards glober

2020-03-02 04:05:41 UTC  

It's good to be curious.

2020-03-02 04:06:36 UTC  

I need to go to bed but if you have any more questions feel free to message me and I'll answer them tomorrow

2020-03-02 04:06:49 UTC  

Alrighty thanks

2020-03-02 04:06:54 UTC  

Ninis

2020-03-02 04:06:58 UTC  

No worries, take care

2020-03-02 04:07:13 UTC  

You too

2020-03-02 04:41:19 UTC  

guys the earth is flat

2020-03-02 04:41:21 UTC  

right

2020-03-02 04:43:29 UTC  

theres a humongous ice wall surrounding the earth

2020-03-02 04:43:33 UTC  

and NASA IS FAKE!!!

2020-03-02 04:44:00 UTC  

its a hollywood based fake image sourcee!!!!

2020-03-02 04:45:22 UTC  

do you agree with me @California Nightmare 3.0

2020-03-02 04:45:26 UTC  

nasa is fake right

2020-03-02 04:45:43 UTC  

No

2020-03-02 04:46:09 UTC  

whatt??

2020-03-02 04:46:13 UTC  

you're crazy dude

2020-03-02 04:46:15 UTC  

nasa is fake

2020-03-02 04:46:23 UTC  

and they're fukll of lying communists

2020-03-02 04:46:25 UTC  

like bernie

2020-03-02 04:46:30 UTC
