Apparently gravity doesn't exist!!!

yes .. that's why the American Military guard Antarctica ... so you don't go falling off the end ....
gravity is weak.
The electro magnetic force is strong.
It holds all the atoms together.
Einstein kept two photos on his desk - James Clerk Maxwell along with Michael Faraday.
James Clerk Maxwell invented a lot of physics language - he invented terms. He made twenty equations to describe the electro magnetic world. These were boiled down to four.
light - electricity - magnetism are all linked. These forces hold all matter with the atomic structure.
the electro magnetic force is stronger than gravity by many magnitudes.
it both repells and attracts.

electro magnetic PLASMA is holding the universe together - not gravity.
Einstein is wrong - James Clerk Maxwell is right.
---------
The book of Isaiah says in Hebrew that the world is a sphere, In Greek it says Globus (globe), in the latin vulgate it's a circle. 700 BC.
the flat earth theory was made popular by the american writer Washington Irving in the 19th century, reinforced by the flat earth society. All the worlds cultures have believed in the past in a spherical world. Only sad sacks believe the world is flat.
One simple observation is all you need to make - look up at the moon? is it a line? or a circle? it waxes and wanes showing curvature? Every other planet in the solar system does this.... so why the FK would our planet be Flat. You sad sack.

Earth has to be round,coz when I zoom out at sea with my super binoculars.I can see the back of my head.
The bit where I live is, and when I've gone further afield, although it gets a bit hilly, it's still essentially flat.
And if it was round, all the water in the rivers would run away.
Defo flat.

Yes flat, as announced by the University of Southampton a few weeks ago, there's 'substantial evidence' it is flat along with everything else.
the universe is flat, as flat as a piece of paper.
it has to be because of time, everything becomes flat in time and because the universe is infinite in time it has had enough time to become flat.

is the earth flat??.........the bible says it is so it must be true
Course it's flat ... with a bit of a Trump wall round it to keep space aliens out and sea in.
fookin sea would all run away otherwise. doh
And it works ... seas still here and aliens not.

I read it in the Diskworld books by the Venerable Pratchett, so it must be true.
We are living in a massive computer simulation.

When you're at the beach and you see a ship sail into the distance, then it starts to dip down as if it's sinking before it disappears, but it's not sinking, explain that flat earth wack jobs

FFS, didn't you do any science at school?
It's called the reverse meniscus effect and it appears like that because you've got your specs on upside down. The Trump wall causes it.

I do not believe it myself, but I maybe program that way.

I began bemused. The notion that humanity might be living in an artificial reality — a simulated universe — seemed sophomoric, at best science fiction.
But speaking with scientists and philosophers on "Closer to Truth," I realized that the notion that everything humans see and know is a gigantic computer game of sorts, the creation of supersmart hackers existing somewhere else, is not a joke. Exploring a "whole-world simulation," I discovered, is a deep probe of reality.
David Brin, sci-fi writer and space scientist, relates the Chinese parable of an emperor dreaming that he was a butterfly dreaming that he was an emperor. In contemporary versions, Brin said, it may be the year 2050 and people are living in a computer simulation of what life was like in the early 21st century — or it may be billions of years from now, and people are in a simulation of what primitive planets and people were once like.
Philosopher Nick Bostrom, director of the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University, describes a fake universe as a "richly detailed software simulation of people, including their historical predecessors, by a very technologically advanced civilization."
It's like the movie "The Matrix," Bostrom said, except that "instead of having brains in vats that are fed by sensory inputs from a simulator, the brains themselves would also be part of the simulation. It would be one big computer program simulating everything, including human brains down to neurons and synapses."
Bostrum is not saying that humanity is living in such a simulation. Rather, his "Simulation Argument" seeks to show that one of three possible scenarios must be true (assuming there are other intelligent civilizations):
All civilizations become extinct before becoming technologically mature;
All technologically mature civilizations lose interest in creating simulations;
Humanity is literally living in a computer simulation.
His point is that all cosmic civilizations either disappear (e.g., destroy themselves) before becoming technologically capable, or all decide not to generate whole-world simulations (e.g., decide such creations are not ethical, or get bored with them). The operative word is "all" — because if even one civilization anywhere in the cosmos could generate such simulations, then simulated worlds would multiply rapidly and almost certainly humanity would be in one.
As technology visionary Ray Kurzweil put it, "maybe our whole universe is a science experiment of some junior high school student in another universe." (Given how things are going, he jokes, she may not get a good grade.)
Kurzweil's worldview is based on the profound implications of what happens over time when computing power grows exponentially. To Kurzweil, a precise simulation is not meaningfully different from real reality. Corroborating the evidence that this universe runs on a computer, he says, is that "physical laws are sets of computational processes" and "information is constantly changing, being manipulated, running on some computational substrate." And that would mean, he concluded, "the universe is a computer." Kurzweil said he considers himself to be a "pattern of information."
"I'm a patternist," he said. "I think patterns, which means that information is the fundamental reality."

That's because it's fallen off the edge. get a grip ffs!

Professor Dawkin's i'm sure said the world is Flat. I'm almost sure.
So I'll say he did. Just as the guy below says the bible says it? I'm sure he said it, if I clip the text coming out his mouth right.

The S*n is definitely flat...
The earth is cubed.
The earth is cubed.
the Biblical Hebrew word for “circle” (חוג—chuwg) can also mean “round” or “sphere.”
in the latin the word was changed to GLOBUS. (globe).
get it up yez.
bible BS that you atheist love. clock is ticking.

The surface of the earth is very lumpy and bumpy, has no definitive shape and is defintiely neither a circle or a sphere.
it's actually squeezed like an egg slightly.
rotating round a nuclear furnace.
a thin layer of earth, over rotating molten iron?
a bar magnet.
but we don't want to give you that... here's a burger and a coke.
