      Governments and our modern day false science will NEVER give up the ball Earth model because that would mean that they would lose power and influence over YOU. You are enslaved to them. You are a slave. God sets man free and all those who seek dominance and power are also enemies of freedom. This is why you are raised up into believing that there is no God. This is not the truth but you are raised to deny and reject God in all ways and forms and by that you also reject your only way to freedom. So, you become a slave who fights for staying a slave. Brilliant strategy and definitely worth billions and trillions of dollars annually all over the Earth.
      It is by the love of God that some people wake up from their slumber and escape the slavery, being set free by the Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.
      These saved people now have eyes to see and they see billions of people on Earth who are still slaves and they want that all be free from slavery and bondage. This is why they tell every living soul out there on Earth about the truth in hope that others also see the truth and escape slavery too. They do that for the love they have for the world and they even take mockery, persecution, and even death upon themselves in order to help more people coming out of slavery and tyranny of the world.

Serious answers for a serious question now, how did someone like Galileo prove a round earth? Like did he actually walk around the earth? And if so, how do you know he wasn't just lying to make you believe him? Also, NASA has admitted that all or most of their photos of earth is fake and CGI, so seriously, how do we as a human species know if the earth is flat or round?

      +John Smith His calculation is actually sound. In fact, this is a fairly straightforward exercise that most physics undergrads do in their first mechanics class. Essentially, what he's doing is calculating the pressure due to gravity on a thin spherical shell at a radius r inside the sphere. If the sphere has to form, then this pressure must be greater than or equal to the compressive strength of the material (essentially gravity needs to crush the layer of material). He estimated his material to have a compressive strength of 100 MPa and a density of 10^4 kg/m^3, which is somewhat off, but still a valid estimate. Granite for instance is a little above 200 MPa and around 10^3 kg/m^3. With his numbers, the answer is, in fact, roughly 120 km.
      Those equations were in no way random and his method is largely sound. In fact, if he used the average density of the earth, he'd actually get 6000 km (which is roughly the radius of the earth).

    Well, Mr Cox, I think you're not quite right here, and the measurement you've made does not explain the sphere shape, it's just an observation based on size, hiding the true answer, so I'll try and explain forgive if I'm wrong.
    Now gravity, a pull or push down force, can be made differently depending on where one is...but here on Earth, gravity is the electric field lines created by a gravity well where negative charge is pulled to ground and where a inverted EM wave creates spin, and a barrier and another force and the gas in the biosphere becomes a pressurised material contributing to stopping us falling over or flying off into space...that is why planet's seem roundish.... And if a material were say too high up into the atmosphere it would suffer massive g forces, and collapse, thus the shape is being chiseled, and maintained, but morphic much like all great art
    Also the Earth being round is a half truth, from one perspective, I'm sure it does look round, but in another it may have a more egg or disc shape....
    Unless this is actually a synthetic structure...alongside the ghe fact the spin is also moving use with the pressurised materials....gravity is a space warping effect and why Earth may be a multidimensional in nature...

      @ambientsoda106 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Maybe your right or maybe in this case your wrong, but isn't that what is great about science and perceptions, I think I'm right because gravity is a mixture of things; it is not just the brute force atomic aggregate attraction, as if it was the moon and much more material would be being dragged towards us and each planetary body would eventually collide. and become a galactic mass!
      My point is on Earth Gravity, is already being defined as a downwards force or example swinging a rope with something attached to one end; although this type of gravity simulation may not produce the same level of quality as one based on more pervasive forces such a electric fields and EM fields at specific angles...

    • @LakshayMunjal
      @LakshayMunjal 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      You're right in saying it's not a brute force, it's basically a consequence of mass distorting space time, but that is usually difficult to understand (or not necessary to know at the surface level), so it can be considered as a downward force. Infact if you study engineering, it's the general assumption in most calculations. So I believe it's better to not correlate it with EMF as it only serves to confuse you.

It sacks the the sphere from all sides by sitting in the center of it.How ever some say that kind of gravity does not exist. Instead, they say that the earth is rolling on the curved space time (by the big big sun). So, that rolling made the earth spherical and slightly elliptical. But, Obviously there does not exist anything as curved space time surface at all
    That means, gravity does not exist. therefore, we don't need to worry about that fiction.

    How would we know that the earth is not affected by a force(its own force, or gravity coming from other objects-we don't see that kind of force).
    Test: you just put a dust of iron on a tiny sand,put the sand on soil(earth) or on a rock. . then , leave it for weeks like that . then you will find your sand and dust of iron there, unaffected by such a force called gravity. Gravity is fiction, buddy. thanks.

      Why would the balloons go up first of all? You know what? you can debunk gravity simply by analyzing the so called asteroid/comet which they say exploded in parts and flown away above Russia 6 years ago.
      Everything falling words earth when it is in the earth's atmosphere is falling then it it falls by taking known acceleration=9.8 m/sec^2. Then how did that "asteroid" escape the earth's gravity while it was passing above a city? by the way I don't believe in asteroid and gravity because both are fake stories.
      Floating in air/sky/space for massive objects is impossible.They must fall until they get support.right?

      highwayvagrant1 Remember that the Earth is a sphere, like a giant ball: so there is no "up" or "down", since a sphere is symmetric. That is, it looks the same no matter what way you look at it. So, people in Australia have just as much right to call themselves "up" as people in the Northern Hemisphere do.
      But more to the point, the force that keeps everything on the Earth from falling off it is gravity: it's the pull exerted by one object on another because of its mass. For objects like the Earth, the force exerted by the Earth's mass pulls objects in the direction of the Earth's centre. This means that wherever you are on the Earth, the force is always "down" into the ground. That's what keeps everything on Earth "right-side up", even those in Australia!
