Check above.
most flat earthers do not believe in gravity.
What’s keeping us from floating up into the stratosphere
I'm not sure I'd say most, but the most public ones, I'd agree.
They argue it is density.
Most flat earthers don't believe in Newton's laws if you push them hard enough
Density of what
Relative density / buoyancy.
Ask the Flat Earthers, not me.
they think propulsion in space is impossible lol
of the object in the medium.
(some do)
Well, you know what the more scientific term for Relative Density is, right?
haha specific gravity?
Also, of note, Buoyancy and Relative Density are two entirely different things.
Yep.
Relative Density doesn't even have units
Because it is a ratio
On its own, it isn't a force or anything.
And on its own it does nothing to hold down matter.
But that's my two cents.
The bouyant force is scaled by the relativity density tho
It is.
relative
Because it is a ratio
You need to multiply it by something for it to be of any use
no relative wouldn't be a ration it'd be a difference I think
since at equal density bouyant force is zero
Relative Density is a ratio.
but that would be a ratio of 1
Relative Density is p[1] / p[2]
Usually p[1] / p[H20]
So, for example
860 kg/m^3 / 1,000 kg/m^3
= 0.86
Unitless ratio
But if it's the proportionality constant for bouyant force then it would multiply that by 1 and you'd get a nonzero bouyant force
At equal densities
Which we know isn't right
