Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT!
Hello,
as this is my first post, i think i should mention, that soon i will be a teacher for physics, so all the common theories are known to me. Furthermore I do not want to insult anybody who has another point of view, I just want to add my opinion to this conversation.
Experiment 1.
If you were standing on top of a fast driving truck, and you jumped, you would sure fall off. This is caused by the wind, if you repeat this this inside the truck, with the wind beeing eliminated, you would just land where you started. As long as the air around you does not move relative to your body, you will land where jumped (we are talking about a vertical jump).
Therefor I think Experiment 1 does not prove a flat earth.
Experiment 2.
People who believe in gravity calculate it using a formula.
Force= G * m1 * m2 /r²
G is a very small constant, 0,000000000067
m1 and m2 are the masses of the 2 bodies, in our case, m1 is the earth, m2 is a person. Or, it is the ballon and the piece of paper.
r is the distance between the bodies, center to center.
If you use this formula, the pulling force of earth is far higher then the force of the ballon, meaning even if the ballon attracts the paper, the earth attracts it MORE, and the paper falls.
It is like saying a child cannot lift a button, and if it tries to lift it, i just hold it down with my thumb, the child can apply a lifting-force, but not a force stronger then mine, holding it down.
If you want to see that ballon attracting the paper, just try it in space, you will never be in space, neither will I, so we cant try it.
Experiment 3.
How far can you see, let´s say it is a sunny day, clear sky, clean air. Can you see any further then 20 miles? 20 miles on the surface of a globe with a circumference of 25000 miles, that is just too small a fracture to notice.
Concluding I dont want to say earth is round or flat, but the mentioned experiments are not sufficient to prove the flat earth, or to disprove a globe.
Please excuse my poor language skills, I am German, I hope you can understand what I am trying to say.
God with you, Claus.
