Flat Earth Theory / Re: Atmolayer lip hypothesis and its incorrectness

Pressure will try and equalise. You have a heat source over the earth, the sun, you don't have a heat source elsewhere. So the pressure over the earth will be higher than in the " thousands of miles of frigid tundra" around it. What is stopping that high pressure from leaking into the low pressure?
Also, you have no evidence for this thousands of miles of frigid tundra even existing. By definition it's not something which has been explored or observed in any way.
Good point.
I think we have shown it should be closer to millions of miles of ever cooling tundra (since we do not observe gale force winds). With the 25,000 mile FE diameter containing oxygen up to at least 20 miles (in a gradient), we have created a pyramid of gasses that should try to flow down towards the Earth (because of the UA), and then out towards this hypothetical tundra. Homeostasis demands that these forces equalize.
I cannot estimate how long homeostasis would take for the atmolayer to thin out and equalize pressures, but I think it should be done by now.
