Is the World Flat? The Flatlander's theory..

The difference between science and scripture is that science has as its basis repeatable, demonstrable result of empirical experiment.

You can't prove faith.

so rocks hitting the moon somehow make it round, what are they chipping bits off like a 3 d lathe or adding so much more rock that the oblateness goes? moon is very round indeed but maybe its very slow axial spin of one rotaion per month is the explanation more than some meteor moulding/lathing

Another feeble ad hominem attack. Prove your self styled genius and refute me with logic and scientific proof rather than insist I am uneducated. That seems to be your only defense here.

I'll make another appeal to common sense: That is why I call it magical. It's ''proportional effect.'' Gravity has a size sensor? BULLSHIT.

Not a size sensor, a mass sensor. You can easily test this yourself with common household items. I'll use a gym example: They have 5 pound and 10 pound dumbbells, can you feel the extra force it takes to lift the ten pounder? That's gravity acting on double the mass of the five pounder. It's pulling harder on the dumbbell with more mass, that's gravity's magical, proportional effect. For the record, I did not use the dumbbell example as an ad hominem...

Silly rabbit, it's because the dumbbell weighs double. It really is that simple.

I'm systematically schooling you with both science and logic. The ad hominems are merely for color...




Very good. That's what WEIGHT is, the pull of gravity on an object. How have you managed to live this long???

Kansas has proven to FLAT.. As in almost pancake flat


How can that be possible on a globe earth

I hope you're beginning to see how out of your depth you are, and your major errors in comprehension that are right in front of your face...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight


In science and engineering, the weight of an object is usually taken to be the force on the object due to gravity.[1][2] Weight is a vector whose magnitude (a scalar quantity), often denoted by an italic letter W, is the product of the mass m of the object and the magnitude of the local gravitational acceleration g;[3] thus: W = mg. The unit of measurement for weight is that of force, which in the International System of Units (SI) is the newton. For example, an object with a mass of one kilogram has a weight of about 9.8 newtons on the surface of the Earth, and about one-sixth as much on the Moon. In this sense of weight, a body can be weightless only if it is far away (in principle infinitely far away) from any other mass. Although weight and mass are scientifically distinct quantities, the terms are often confused with each other in everyday use.[4]

They say there are thousands of satellites, how come I only get computer generated images when i search for photographs of the earth. There should be millions by now.

Ya and how there's so many satellites yet we never hear any of them crashing into eachother or falling down. Why isn't there a job as a satellite repair man yet?

I love how it's called the THEORY of gravity not fact


Please explain why can balloons float away? Hot air, helium.

I'm an idiot who needs to be spoon fed
