Flat Earth

... How does gravity work in this model ? ...

There is no gravity, denser than air objects fall and less dense objects rise.

That's semantics. You are simply redefining "gravity."

If there were no language, people would still walk the earth rather than floating off into the air. That is what gravity does no matter what word you use for it. Call it "density" if you want. Other folks call it "gravity." It's simply a word describing something.

In addition, your explanation of what density is and does, and how it works, is a redefining of the word "density." Probably your redefinition isn't scientifically possible anyway. Note that I am not saying that Einstein's Theory of Gravity is accurate. I am simply talking about using gravity for gravity, and density for density.

If you folks would stop trying to mix people up by changing definitions, you would have a head start on convincing anyone about flat earth. As it is, you sound like you have been on LSD too long.

Instead of believing in this nonsense, knowledgeable people know that the Earth goes up with constant acceleration of 9.81 m / s - that's why any abandoned objects fall down to the same acceleration. And do not worry about what will happen when the planet reaches its maximum speed - most likely, it will never happen. Checkmate your theory of relativity, Albert!

Please try not to regurgitate the controlled opposition nonsense from the Flat Earth Society, the Earth is motionless!

The earth is full of motion. Consider that simple heat is molecules in motion. What about earthquakes and volcanoes?

Besides. It's really funny how notbatman disappeared for a while when nomad13666 was blabbing. Now nomad13666 seems to be gone, but notbatman is back. Just saying.

There seems to be some misunderstanding about my point above.

Whenever there is a photograph showing curvature of the Earth several possible sources of error must be considered. Fish eye lenses would obviously distort an image. A more common problem is that virtually all camera lenses project an image that suffers from some barrel distortion.

If you want to accurately assess curvature from a photograph, the horizon must be placed precisely in the center of the image on the optical axis.  David K. Lynch published a paper a few years back on how to do this.

http://thulescientific.com/Lynch%20Curvature%202008.pdf

Lynch shows that below 35,000 feet the curvature of the earth is more or less undetectable to the naked eye. As one climbs higher it can be measured and he lays out exactly how to do this using a camera.

Soon those who believe the earth is flat will be able to see for themselves that their worldview is false.

Arizona-based World View Enterprises aims to start launching paying customers to the stratosphere in 2017 beneath a giant balloon, for $75,000 per seat. Passengers will spend two hours at an altitude of 100,000 feet (30,500 meters), where they'll be able to see the blackness of space and the curvature of Earth.

If 75k is too expensive you could always try the cheap method and do something along the lines of what this kid did.

A Totino-Grace High School student launched a weather balloon 20 miles into the atmosphere and captured incredible footage of the earth’s curvature. The experiment was on display at an exhibition on Sunday.

With the low cost option you might have some difficulty getting the horizon precisely in the center of the image on the optical axis but that problem could probably be overcome.

I mean, how retarded can you flat earth jokers get?

Get a common, household, glass drinking glass. Fill it up to the very brim with water. Then, very carefully fill it above the rim of the glass. Notice that the water can be piled up higher than the rim of the glass for a tiny distance. The water actually curves in this bulge, down to the rim of the glass. This proves that water is NOT flat. The earth is round, and the water curves as it tries to find the rim of the glass.

I feel bad for you flat earth folks so here is a link that might help you out.

incredibly, physicists across the world are thinking the same thing: That what we perceive to be a three-dimensional universe might just be the image of a two-dimensional one, projected across a massive cosmic horizon.

"Lynch shows that below 35,000 feet the curvature of the earth is more or less undetectable to the naked eye."

But you can see ships disappear over the curve?

[Sundark]

It is amazing to see at this day and age, that some people are still blind to a accept basic scientific knowledge about our planet.
I don't know if that is caused by stupidity, ignorance or religion being the problem here.

Yes its caused by stupidity, ignorance and religion (faith based science), people just believe what they are told and don't think for themselves

Water always finds its level - is that a theory? Or can you test that as a fact

What ball earth facts are there that I can test myself

[Whtwabbit]

Now you're getting it, I or you can't build a satellite(because they are a hoax anyway) to test it ourselves

I can show you water always finds its level, and you probably already know the laws of perspective, so how could you see the  sun "set or rise"

[Whtwabbit]

You see a light moving across the sky, you cannot prove they are "satellites", next.. Looking for facts I can test myself

[Whtwabbit]

"What are these moving lights across the sky, then ?"

I don't know and neither do you

Okay, I wasn't a Flat-Earther till I read the above. I now clearly see by your experiment that if I sliced off that layer of water and enlarger it thousands of miles, I would have a flat Earth model once I freeze the outer perimeter which represents Antarctica then introduce ~25% solid stuff floating on the surface and molten rock beneath it all. Shit, almost forgot something. I'd need to go to the pet store and procure a giant turtle for its base.
