This cannot be the case my friend @Boften_jkl
@Boften_jkl if you decide sometime that you want to have a talk(not an argument) I'm happy to anytime I'm about my man.just tag me and we can see if we can come to a concensus About what we think and or think we know 😎
You should study the equation F=G*(m1 *m2)/r^2.

Sorry cant send pics no permissions.
The path objects flow to is towards more force. Minimizing r^2 will maximize F since m1,m2, and G are constants. Minimizing r happens when objects move towards the center of gravity which would be the center of earth (technically the center isnt quite since the mass of the water would move it a bit but this is negligable). Thus the 'pseudoscience' model fits this description better.
F= force, m1 and m2 are the masses of the 2 objects, G= the universal gravitational constant and r is the distance between the 2 objects.
What is "r" for Earth? and how was it determined?
Ask MichaelBudgie, who claims to be an astrophycisist and that he's the only one who knows physics an thast no FE'rs do 😄
r is the distance between the 2 objects. More specifically it is the distance of the center of mass between the 2 objects. So for earth the center of mass is the center of the earth.
This is a well known equation I can provide citations if needed.
what is the diameter of the earth? and how was it determined?
Find a point in 3D space. Then take a distance, say d= 1. If you map all points with distance 1 to that point you will get a spherical shape.
This can be demonstrated easily in 2D space by getting a protractor and spinning it around a point on a piece of paper. This is a circle.
Hence in order to minimize R, water would form in a circular shape
My argument is irrelevant to whatever you take as the diameter of the earth. Take whatever you want, and my argument should hold.
water forms a spherical shape due to surface tension. not "gravity"
try again
If you are arguing the earth is flat it makes no sense to argue water forms a spherical shape regardless of what phenomena causes it
it only forms a spherical shape when surrounded by air. because a sphere has the lowest ratio of surface area to volume
but totally irrelevant to the shape of earth's surface. what's more relevant is that water is always level
"The water level is lower-tech than the laser level, but it can be more accurate over long distances"
The shape of the earths surface is irrevelent it will flow towards the location that minimizes R
water = level. Earth's surface = >70% water. Earth's surface = level
cope
Hold up my bad I'm in class I'll read what you sent me
gimme a bit lol
Computer engineering major
Water is always level unless a stronger force works against it
You admitted this yourself by admitting that water can take a sphere shape
Inside a container
yes true slash
Water sicks to itself. Surface tension isnt gravity
water takes a spherical shape to minimize surface area to reduce the free energy of the system because of both enthalpic and entropic penalties due mostly to hydrogen bonding
if there is a container, water will seek to minimize surface area by filling said container leaving a level surface
Lograian: one can take an angle from 1 side of the water to the center of the earth to the other end of the water. If this angle is negligable then practically speaking the water will appear in your image. If the angle is not negligable then the spherical phenomena will occur I described earlier.
Technically speaking this water is not completely strait however but the difference is too negligable to notice.
This can be explained intuitively by drawing a circle on your favorite graphing software. Pick a point on the circle and zoom into it a lot. It will appear to be a line even though it has curvature.
""The water level is lower-tech than the laser level, but it can be more accurate over long distances""
Probably not as other forces would be at plau
