You are the one using two sets of gravity pulls
With and against implies you are using gravitational pulls to explain your argument? I don't believe in gravity, if gravity really was a thing birds wouldn't fly and planes wouldn't take off, because the way gravity is explained its a force that can't be beaten, and birds flap their wings and beat it easily enough? |

I am not suggesting 2 sets of gravity "pulls" - at least not to somebody with the scientific knowledge of a 5 year old. Just consider 1 "gravity pull" - towards center of Earth. I really don't know where you got your explanation of gravity from. That it is a force which can't be "beaten" It is just a force- provide a larger force in the opposite direction and the force of gravity will be "beaten". It takes a fair amount of energy for a large jet plane to take off and "beat" the force of gravity. If you don't believe in gravity then try jumping off a 50m building- flap your arms if you want. If gravity does not exist you should be able to "beat" it. Of course plenty of more intelligent people than yourself believe you will accelerate towards the center of Earth. Wonder who is correct. What have you got to lose Sont |

There are virtually infinite gravitational pulls on us, just some less strong than others. And we exert gravitational pulls on them.
|

By:
The net effect is a summation of all these pulls.

Is that why I find myself strangely drawn to Jo Brand?

By:
You are exerting a gravitational pull on Jupiter, though she likely doesn't care much, unless she's just seen Bridget Jones Diary.

Yes. That's exactly it. The "larger" a woman is, they more attractive they are. That's why my website www.500poundlardbabes.com gets so many hits.

Not a site I was aware of. |

It's so popular it's down at the moment, honest, but it'll be back up .. just as soon as I've registered it and taken a camera to my ex-wife's house.

Better take a cwt of rump steak as well.

By:
The way gravity is explained how do cameras stay up on the house? in fact why aren't we all riving in absolute agony on the floor because of these 100s of gravitational pulls?
|
|
By:
I'm convinced.
so now we know gravity is bullsh!t can you explain how come the oceans & seas have tides? does the flat earth just tilt a bit twice a day? |
|
By:
The tides occur when Jo jumps in the sea for her daily dip.
|
|
By:
Spring tide when JC's ex goes for her swim at the same time.
|
|
By:
Its called the weather, northanlite
warmer weather causes higher tides, notice in winter the tides are lower? Nothing to do with the moon or gravity |
|
By:
Turkey for example don't have tides, so that's proof right there the gravity argument is a load of nonsense when it comes to tides
|
|
By:
More extreme weather causes extreme currents, that's why our seas are more erratic
|
|
By:
Which strengthens my argument about the curvature being total bs

Cool parody thread.

Tide charts are published for months in advance giving times of high & low tides to the nearest minute. So this is because the weather around the planet is so predictable that we know there is a high tide every 13 hours. How did your jump of the building go - did you easily beat that non-existent gravity by flapping your Armstrong? Or did you decide to give this simple experiment a miss? Lunar & solar eclipses are predicted years in advance to the nearest few seconds & within 1km. You see for a lunar eclipse the spherical Earth casts a shadow on the spherical moon. & vice verse for solar eclipse. |

I heard he flaps his Armstrong thrice daily.

I've not seen such aggressive Fishing and Trawling since the Cod Wars. There's about to be another one between Scotland and Ireland, maybe we can drag Mexico into that one as well :)

We haven't got the physique to be able to fly  Our arms can't produce the aerodynamics needed, we can't trap air underneath them to allow us to fly Simple understanding |

Icarus was able to get fairly close to the sun.

Jumping off a bridge is suicide
Tides are easy to predict when we've got 100s of generations knowledge passed down to us |

how much fun have you had today SS. you must live a boring life but still it has been amusing

Jumping off a bridge is only suicide if you believe gravity exists. If you believe that Newton, Einstein & billions of other humans are incorrect & you don't believe in gravity then it won't be sucide. You may get a Death by misadventure verdict. Of course if gravity doesn't exist & you are not attracted to the center of Earth you should just be able to fly around. You can't have it both ways with tides SS. You claim they are so predictable that it is the knowledge of generations which allows predictions months in advance to the nearest minute. But you also claim the tides are due to weather- which can't be predicted months in advance to the nearest minute. Got to go. Watching the golf on sky. That satellite they have placed in geostationary orbit is pretty useful for watching sport from the other side of the globe. Seems to be very bright at Pebble beach but the sun is setting in UK. Must be another trick Sky Sports are playing. |

The sun circles the earth and the UK and the US ain't that far apart really

How would the sun light up a ball?
It would be missing either the top or bottom ? australia should be in total darkness all year round? |

One of the vital factors that make a comedian successful is that he knows the optimal length of his jokes. People expect a punchline. And the longer the joke, the better the punchline needs to be. While this thread was amusing at the start, you've sort of overdone it, especially with your comments on Gravity(and making up two types of gravities when no one said that). I am pretty sure you are still having a good laugh. But as the audience, I feel you've overdone it. Just my 2 cents. |

He's worked himself into quite a pickle on this thread, I don't think SS understands the gravity of the situation.

Good point about Australia Unless those round Earth bods claim the Earth (or ball for those 5 year olds on here) rotate once every 24 hours. Can't be true or the Aussie would have a name for a period of time of 24 hours This sky satellite in orbit above the Earth is great for Saturday night viewing. very dark in UK but they are still playing golf & it isn't dark at Pebble beach. |

“Well we never actually see anything from it, they never take an actual camera to the window.”
Yes, they do. There are loads of photographs. Can hardly believe anybody thinks our planet is flat. |

flat. round, square, who cares?
