Lol

North - did not see your post. You gave him 3 more years knowledge that I did. Maybe I was being too harsh.

someone needs to tell him what happens if birds stop flapping their wings

You haven't explained how water stays in place in a ball?

Water doesn't abide to the rules of "gravity"

Fancy anything on the horse mex,perhaps the cricket,maybe the golf,what do you like betting on?

Birds can hover without flapping their wings, they use the air to stay up

Why doesn't a plane that's flying not ever leave the ball?

Why doesn't the plane ever bang into a country from above? wouldn't it hit the ocean above or below?

^ well they can glide but eventually they will come to ground without flapping their wings using their energy against
the gravitational pull

Are you off to Ascot next week Terry?

I'm going two days this year, but has F-All to do with gravity.

Are you going Terry?

Can't explain it so change the subject

Nice

Sont

The plane is attracted to the center of Earth (or ball for 5-8 year olds). It does not have enough power to leave Earth (the ball)

But it has enough power to get off the ground?

The further up you go the less gravity takes effect?

to paraphrase python : stop this, it's silly. very silly.

Sont

As explained already

Water does follow the rules of gravity. It flows down- I.e. Towards the center of Earth.

Someone of us useless eaters have to work and pay tax and some don't

Sont

Answering Terry is hardly changing the subject- it is politeness to answer questions.
Maybe you & Terry should try it.

Water does follow the rules of gravity. It flows down- I.e. Towards the center of Earth.

So you admit water does flow downwards? how come it doesn't flow downwards on a curvature then?

How come Austrailia isn't under water? if water flows downwards?

Terry

I believe workers in UK are entitled to holiday, if you are not bothered about flat racing just say so. Don't give the BS about work.

I answered your question- you should try answering some Terry

There is no side, top or bottom. Wherever you are, gravity pulls from the earth's centre.

In the UK, we are no more "further up" a curve than Japan, Indonesia or Australia.

Son stop playing with zombies brains there’s nothing thier .

Sont

So you admit water does flow downwards? how come it doesn't flow downwards on a curvature then?


Water does flow "downwards on a curvature "

Down is towards center of Earth (I.e. With gravity) up is away from Earth (I.e. Against gravity)


As already mentioned 5 to 8 year olds can understand this concept.

It is because of gravity that water remains on Earth.

Mexico your embarrassing yourself let it go .

Conditor

Just a suggestion but when you claim somebody is "embarrassing themselves " or have no brains, it might be an idea to know when to use the word "your" & when to use the word "their".

Just an option so feel free to ignore. If you believe the Earth is flat then so be it.

I can assure you that I would never claim that "your embarrassing yourself " when replying to one of your posts.

Hang on for 1 minute, this from a chap who condemns every view away from the norm, he thinks that posting **** from sheep will boost his ego ?

On windy days I see sheets of paper flying about all over the place. If the earth is flat, why doesn't it flip over in a gale?

So there's two sets of gravity now? gravity on its own isn't winning an argument, so we'll create another gravitational pull that pulls against the other gravitational pull?

Locking everything in place? should we be imploding under all this gravitational pull? the earth spins at a 1000mph but somehow all this water stays inside this ball despite their being a curvature?

Get a blender and leave the lid off....

The matrix bud for you alien chaps, each to thier own,

so we'll create another gravitational pull that pulls against the other gravitational pull?

Both pulling against each other is the argument here?

Shouldn't that rip this earth apart? two massive forces pulling against one another will ultimately rip this earth in two?

Wtf

Sont

I really haven't got a clue what you are on about with two sets of gravity.
Every object exerts a force (called gravity) on every other object.

As the Earth is massive compared to a plane, water etc. then we only really need to consider the gravity of Earth.

What are these 2 sets you are on about? Just use one (the Earth).

Is my stomach flat or round? Well I can balance a pint of lager and a packet of crisps on it when watching the telly and it doesn't fall off, so I can only assume I'm freakin RIPPED.

There is a simple answer to the original question that was the title of the thread: So... Is the Earth flat or round ?  No.

Its the initial joke taken to far scenario

Basically the lie has had to be added to with more bull****, thus creating an unexplainable pile of horse manure

two sets of gravitational pull pulling against each other, earth spinning at a 1000mph, whilst circling the sun at million mph, falling through a void at these speeds to boot

Amazing stuff really

We have two gravitational pulls in us as well?

Mexico

Down is towards center of Earth (I.e. With gravity) up is away from Earth (I.e. Against gravity)

You're implying there's two sets of gravitational pull, one with and one against?

Also implying theres two separate earths within the earth

"up is away from earth"

Sont

Have not got a clue what planet you are on .
What are these 2 sets of gravity?

Most of the Earth will be spinning at greater than 100mph , the bits near the poles won't be moving much, those nearest the equator will be faster.

Errrrr

What is strange about a definition of "up" as being away from Earth (I.e. Against gravity) ???

You are saying down is towards the center, up is away from earth, one with gravity and one against gravity, thus saying there's two sets of graviational pull?

Up being away from earth implies its not on earth but away from it?

100 mph ? A little bit more bud

No Sont

As mentioned earlier, just define "up" as against gravity & "down" as with gravity.

Water flows "down" - I.e. Towards center of Earth.

At believe it or not  set at 23 degrees.

Sont

Even in your BS flat Earth . If you fly 100km "up" you are going away from Earth.

Same as in the correct round Earth planet.

So two sets of gravitational pulls?

There's the main gravity? then there's one pulling again and one pulling with

Shouldn't that rip this earth apart?

We are on earth until we enter space?

WTF
Are you on about with your 2 gravity story.


There are loads of forces acting on Earth, The Earth is pretty big so will take a bit of work to rip apart.


Remember Down is towards center of Earth, up is away.

Then all your non-existent Earth problem go away.

The meteorite landed in the straights of Mexico,shallow seas killed all dinosaurs

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?

Sont

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.

The net effect is a summation of all these pulls.

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

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.

Lol JC - very good

Not a site I was aware of.

SS making a bid to depose tm as the dimmest poster but will probably need more than one topic to wrench the crown from his head.

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.

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?

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?

The tides occur when Jo jumps in the sea for her daily dip.

Spring tide when JC's ex goes for her swim at the same time.

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

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

More extreme weather causes extreme currents, that's why our seas are more erratic

Which strengthens my argument about the curvature being total bs

Cool parody thread.

Sont

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

^^.open your eyes

I once went to school

i think the planet is a rhomboid

SS
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?

@SS

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.

SS
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?

If I go from Kamchatka to Alaska in a few hours does that mean the world is round or that you are sitting in a bedsit with your ankles being encrusted in beef space raiders?

One can clearly see the curvature of Earth from an aircraft window. I’ve seen it myself many times.

I seen that, also Jesus in the clouds.

Bottom line : Everything else out there appears to be pretty much round , why should the Earth be any different ?

my abs are flat, as is my humour.

The fact that a guy posts a view, and the masses come back and mock without any other concrete to say otherwise shows why this world is not round, not flat ,it’s pair shaped , the word time is more important, because that’s what controls sheep

Sheepdog's control Sheep , surely ?

Actually Conditor if you could understand what "the masses" posted you would understand that there was "other concrete " in the replies.

Mouse it’s flat, if it was round we would all be happy, flat bud,get it?
