gravity is broken. a 1 ounce feather takes more time to fall than an ounce of steel -- nm - Peglegpete May 3, 13:48 4

- I suppose his next insight is that when speeding in his car it does not feel like he is moving at all. -- nm - VMan May 3, 13:41

This is the least of this guy's misunderstandings -- (link) - Reagen May 3, 13:34 23
- Trying to get this stuff to make sense gives me a headache. -- nm - . May 3, 14:07
- What he needs is a really long stick/board. Weight down one end and then walk along it. A growing gap will develop between the Earth and the board. -- nm - VMan May 3, 13:45 4
  - he needs a medium length stick, weight down one end and hit himself in the head with that end -- nm - crash davis May 3, 13:52
  - And then we can whack him with the stick and be far away. Good thinking. -- nm - Reagen May 3, 13:50 2
    - I'd rather toss him out of a car and see if he can just step out. -- nm - VMan May 3, 13:52 1
      - Moving "really fast". -- nm - VMan May 3, 13:52
- I don't understand his problem with seeing Venus and Mercury -- nm - crash davis May 3, 13:41 16
  - Willful misunderstanding of the astronomical unit. -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 13:45
  - The "logic" of it is that if they are between us and the sun, how can they be seen at night, as if they are always directly between - Reagen May 3, 13:45 14
    - i don't understand how they think the sun works *at all* if we were flat. -- nm - Andie May 3, 13:49 11
      - I feel dumber for having looked but the sun is a "spotlight" rotating around the north pole - oblique May 3, 13:55 7
        
        Ahhhh. So obvious. The earth does not need to spin for gravity since we are standing on a flat plane. -- nm - VMan May 3, 13:57 3
        
        The spinning of the Earth isn't why there's gravity. - Reagen May 3, 14:01 2
        
        Been a while. Forgot. But doesn't the spin help correct for the curvature or something? -- nm - VMan May 3, 14:07
        
        So, if the earth was round and actually spinning we'd fly off? -- nm - . May 3, 14:04
        
        What is The North Pole, then? -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 13:56 2
        
        And how does the spotlight theory work when demonstrated on a piece of paper? -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 13:57
        
        The center of the universe? -- nm - VMan May 3, 13:57
      - As I recall, the sun would be like a shaded lamp hovering over our spinning disc world. -- nm - VMan May 3, 13:51
      - It's just on a dimmer. -- nm - pmb May 3, 13:51
      - The Truman Show, I guess? -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 13:50
    - oh, because on a globe we are facing away form the sun at night....I got his madness here now - thanks -- nm - crash davis May 3, 13:48
    - (and of course you mostly can't see them at night) - Reagen May 3, 13:47
well see, it's a level ...it shows you stuff is "level" -- nm - mud May 3, 13:33
