This seems to describe Pete fairly well, but he's also in good company, a high flying doctor no less.

"Many believe gravity literally doesn't exist."

It doesn't. : \

It "does" exist, obviously, but what we call "gravity" doesn't exist. Gravity is the effect, not the thing. A.K.A. "acceleration".
I'd even go so far as to say it's not even a force. I'm out on a limb by myself with that I know.
It's far, far too early in the day for this , although it explains spheres very nicely.

Bonus: We are all in good company. Einstein was an avid sailor.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is owning this one.

"how do you know the earth is flat?"
"well, I watched 50 hours of video..." Based on that method of research I know that rabbits and ducks can talk, pirates have hill billy accents and Fog Horn Leghorn is the smartest rooster going around....!

Seems to me that if something is difficult to understand - rather than admitting a lack of understanding and actually self-educating , some folks reject the science and take cover in conspiracy/fake-science world and it's child-like simplicity and naiveness (flat earth a prime example).

There's possibly nothing more difficult to understand/explain than gravity as evidenced by different theories emerging like Loop Quantum Gravity and Erik Verlinde's Entropic Gravity Theory.

But even a lay person like myself can understand the basics (with some work) and it's fascinating, no need to full your head up with alternative BS

theres no room for people that believe the earth is flat in sailing or flying. if you do believe the earth is flat please quit. and take up cave diving, every underwater cave leads to your new home

How do you know the three towers were brought down by planes and fire - well I've watched countless hours of television footage (think indoctrination)

Based on that method I'm no longer a conscious being. Walking dead.


Gotta love the pic from NASA of the moon with the (fake) hill in the background

Just by an amazazing coincidence of biblical proportions it looks identical to a hill in Greenland


I have to find that pic.

What do any of those points have to do with the Earth being flat or Spherical ??

What will you do when you find it? What does it prove?
The possibilities are:
1) that the photos are as presented, a chance in a million detection of a NASA fraud.
2) that some wag has doctored a photo taken at NASA's test facility and never presented as a Mars photo by NASA.
3) that some wag has completely faked one to look like a NASA photo.

I tell you what. If you can find that photo on a NASA site presented as a photo of Mars then you have the beginning of what may be a fraud. Even that would not be conclusive because it may have been accidentally misrepresented.

I wouldn't waste my time looking if I were you. It would be easier to wander down to the beach and watch the ships disappear behind the curve of the Earth (or not disappearing).

Of course, the Earth is flat. I don't know why you lot go on and on about conjecturing that it is otherwise. Simple logic and observation proves it so.

My feet are flat.
My beer is flat.
I am flat-broke.

QED - 100% the Earth is flat. Cannot be otherwise.



On the other hand, . . .
