Flat Earth Theory / Re: Why Does Water Look Flat?
« on: July 22, 2019, 04:32:08 AM »
Centrifugal force cannot be the reason that water sticks to the surface of the Earth, as the Earth is a sphere. Centrifugal Force is a two-dimensional vector. For your theory to be correct, the Earth would have to be rotating in every single direction at exactly the same time, in perfect unison. Otherwise, there would be no water at the geographical north and south poles. I did not say that the Earth's gravity was caused by density, I said it was the product of mass. Since the Earth's center of mass is at it's center, the Earth is a sphere, and all matter tends to follow the curvature of space-time, the Earth's gravity points toward it's center, and everything falls downward relative to us.

Flat Earth Theory / Why Does Water Look Flat?

Many supporters of the flat earth believe that if the Earth is spherical, then water should flow to the low ground.

I am here today to inform you all, as to why this notion is incorrect, and the logic is flawed:

      The Earth is spherical -- while it may not be a perfect sphere, it is still round -- yet water is flat, and does not fall to the bottom of the globe. Why is that? Well, to explain why this is, I must introduce to you all the concept of space-time. Space-time does not have a similar metric to that of Newtonian physics, whereas time can be measured in meters, for example, since space and time are combined ceremoniously into a single metric. Unlike the common viewing of space and time -- Newtonian space-time -- where space and time are two completely different metrics.
      Space-time is what makes up our reality, our perception of time and space. It twists and contorts, and has no describable shape to it as it is four dimensional -- meaning it's existence consists of infinite 3-dimensional spaces, just like our three dimensional world consists of an infinite number of 2-dimensional planes. The only known way for space-time to be altered is with mass, where the point of most curvature in space-time will be around an object's center of mass. The more massive an object is, the greater the curvature the space-time around the object's center of gravity will be, hence the greater gravitational influence that object will have on others around it. Simply put: the more massive an object is, the more the space-time around it will contort.
      What does this have to do with the water on a round globe? Well, all matter follows the flow of space-time. Meaning that, objects with smaller mass will be attracted to objects with larger mass. Earth is made up of numerous objects, and is not a single piece of matter floating in the void of space. Earth is the grouping of those numerous objects, meaning that Earth's center of gravity will be at the center of the Earth -- give or take considering rise/fall in elevations -- . That is why water and all other objects 'fall' to the ground, and appear to be flat, since matter will always flow to the point of greatest curvature in space-time, which is the Earth's center of gravity in this case.

Have any questions, or things I can be clearer on? I'd be happy to answer them as best I can! :)
