Why does the air get thinner as we go higher up?

who's 'we'

gravity = theory

why does the ionospher act so weird?

Pressure gradient @Triscuit
Only works in a container btw

You guys think a magic invisible force holds the atmosphere in... 😂

Why can’t a pressure gradient exist outside of a container?

Electromagnetism is an invisible force but I don’t hear you rejecting that

because it would disperse

@California Nightmare 3.0 But you do acknowledge that space is possible if the container in big enough?

@Ferocious Chicken no

Why not?

Even in a container, the gas would even out to equal pressure

@RadRhys there is plenty of evidence for that

Vacuums and non vacuums cannot exist together

Yeah and...?

There would be no outer space

@Triscuit but it doesnt

Vaccines save lives, best thing around. <#606994836423442452>

Why not?

you tell me

Well

Are you ignoring what I just said. No one ever claimed space is a total vaccuum, it has a really low pressure @California Nightmare 3.0

I say it is gravity

The pressure difference between the troposphere and stratosphere is much greater than any place higher. Unless there was a barrier there, which I know none of you would claim there was, why wouldn’t the air from the troposphere disperse into the stratosphere?

so bendy space time causes different pressure in a container

There’s nothing magic about a (relative) vacuum

i dont know what bendy space time is

What you’re doing rn is called defamiliarization

No, you cannot have different pressures inside (or outside) a container without a force acting in the gas within.

can you detect the force?

@Ferocious Chicken that does not make my point irrelevant or refute my point

Sure

It’s what pulls us down to the earth

you can detect gravitons?

Yes, there is an undeniable vector going down. Call it whatever you want but there is a downward vector

circular

Gravity doesn’t involve particles

@California Nightmare 3.0 Yes. Space could exist on a flat earth if the dome is high enough.

@Ferocious Chicken nope

[20:22] RadRhys: Yes, there is an undeniable vector going down. Call it whatever you want but there is a downward vector
