level doesn't necessarily mean flat.
is this flat shelf level?
if the vase were filled with water, it would be completely level even on that slanted surface
no. it's not level. So what makes it level, then?
"flat or even surface"
Dont try to reinvent the wheel
dictionary definitions don't mean anything in this example, you guys. if that shelf isn't level, then what makes something level?
if you pour WATER into the VASE on that shelf, the WATER will be LEVEL
do you understand?
I'm not talking about water in a vase, strike. that shelf is NOT level, but it IS flat.
do you get it?
sure
what makes something level then?
being flat
sigh
water would be become fully flat on the globe
wait your actually arguing this
but that defies the natural principles of water
no it doesnt think intuitively
you're ignoring the claimed principles of a globe earth, which is that objects are pulled to a center of mass.
you have a force that pulls all the water to the centre of the earth
look, obviously that model makes sense because thats what they taught me and everyone for years and years
yes
but the fact of the matter is that bodies of water do not curve
they find level
I'm saying curving water IS level because level is being perpendicular to the pull of gravity
on the globe earth model
great theory, but does not correlate to reality
are you saying that if you had a ball that attracted water to its centre
and then had a physical barrier that is a sphere around that attractor
that IS the theory. That's what I'm saying
it would not pile up in such a way as shown in that picture
a force cannot pull and repel at the same time. so gravity pulls the water toward the centre of the ball, but earths gravity ALSO repel's the moon from being pulled in. impossible
Magnatism both pulls and repels at the same time, just in different places
