In which case I can make an equally valid claim about the uniform planar earth

In terms of your plane. We know the centre of mass exists. The point where force is exerted from. This is the point where gravity acts from. The reason smaller objects can remain non-spherical is due to how weak this gravitational force (this is because empirically the mass of the object is on the macro scale, which is tiny). However as the mass increases so does the gravity. This will result in a greater and greater force being applied to the object. At the certain point that object will no longer be able to structurally support the force being applied to it. This results in it taking the shape of the force applied. Which is a globe.

;)

Let's switch sides, so that you understand my point of view.

Furthermore, a globe earth allows many other scientific discoveries to be true. You have a creative mind. You would be good at applying this to the scientific world in astrophysics. You can grab a sense of scale. The only thing letting you down is not being able to grasp the centre of mass

look chief is 00:20 here and im waking up early tmr

Okay ;_;

!mute @Monticks

We can resume tomorrow hopefully

I can draw a diagram as well

But gravity doesn't act from the centre of a mass

acceleration is an effect. not a cause

It acts from the whole mass

@Citizen Z??

We can model the force in its centre in the case of a sphere.

if i drop a helium balloon in air what happens?

Not close to it.

@Citizen Z ???

What's your point???

it rises

Yeah

if i drop it in a vacuum it falls

Yeah

density of the medium was the direct cause that we can prove that made that happen

and

you can make the balloon neutrally buoyant

meaning is is the same density

of the medium

that is what we can prove using the scientific method

gravity is a law within a theory

its just an idea to explain a model

the flat earth can still use gravity if you wanted to. you could just say there is a uniformly dense medium under us

but that would still just be a guess

Hmm

Yes I agree

And it doesn't even have to be uniformly dense.

You can even have infinite mass under you

As deep as you want

Or as shallow as you want
