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
