@icansiencethat thank you for responding! I found your information helpful! I’m a little surprised, and a little not, that no one else had anything to say but I guess even that helps me realize something. I do have a couple things to ask but seeing as you aren’t a FE I’m sure you’ll be able to enjoy the moment with me and not take any offense. (Please don’t take offense I’m just feeling a bit cheeky today)
I’ll start with rain”drops”. You stated that the rain drops aren’t being pulled but rather floating in zero-g, but how can zero-g exist if g itself doesn’t exist? You also stated that the spherical shape is the result of surface tension pulling at the water, but how can something pull at the water at all, wouldn’t that also suggest gravity? My knowledge of how rain forms is rudimentary at best, and based on a spherical earth, but my understanding is that rain leaves the clouds when it becomes more dense than the surrounding space, in order for that process to happen something has to force the rain out right? I could possibly buy that the acceleration of the earth would push things downward but it seems like you are saying that instead the ground is being pushed up into them yet these droplets of water can be observed in a tear shape, suggestion that they are indeed falling.. again this is a lack of information on my behalf and neither malicious or intentionally disrespectful, just good ole curiosity!
Anyway, thanks again for responding to me. I am convinced the earth is a sphere that orbits our lovely star. While I would greatly enjoy hearing more about how a flat earth could be possible, a requisite for serious consideration would exclude “it’s a conspiracy” as the primary counterpoint to decades of recorded space exploration.
Hoping you’re well, and grateful for your time,
This guy
