Guys, the earth is actually flat.

We are arguing about the same thing, but in opposition due to different level of education hence indoctrination. I admit that I'm uneducated swine in term of schoolbooks science. It's all works on paper, JT effect is being disregarded for some reason ;) there was that video with a dude, toycar, balloon and a vacuum. Ones I get to my stationary troll machine I'll find that video. Also, there a cool video with a feather and a bowling ball by BBC - in regards to gravity.
You can't come up with everything on your own. You've got to trust someone. I know you trusted someone when you came up with this flat earth stuff. You are better off trusting guys like Newton than some unknown character with a website. Acting like I was indoctrinated is just an assumption. Assumptions are why you are in the intellectual hole you're in now. I grew up in the city, in a high crime area, and neither one of my parents even graduated from high school, lower middle class at best. I am not privileged, and have as much street-smarts as anyone. Broad knowledge is how you avoid getting conned.

That is the point, just because I don't believe what some folks wants us to believe aka moon landing and NASA fraud has nothing to do with a flat earth - they do ride that train a lot, but what makes you think I'm on that train? :mrgreen:

That makes no sense at all. I think you're trying to describe momentum, which is exactly why rockets work in space. It doesn't matter how big or small the mass is, it is still conserved. Fuel is propelled from the spacecraft with the burning of the fuel. It shoots out. It just doesn't disappear when it burns. It still has the same mass. Momentum will be conserved. That's why it's called a law.
It's called a law, cuz you aren't allowed to argue it. Most of us breaking the law by growing weed illigaly, however, everyone agrees here that Marijuana laws are nonsense, but hey - they told us it's bad for us...

Yes, using conserved energy you can "shoot" it to the orbit, however firing up a rocket in space from equilibrium will not work and this is what I'm talking about. Today's "space ceiling" for human kind is about 400K ft. they say. Yeah, Van Allen belt is da bitch - they will have to work hard on that one before they send monkeys to Mars ;)

You are disregarding friction....

Hang yourself on the long rope and then do it again with a ball that has the same mass as yourself.

You will move almost exact same distance from equilibrium point.
Vacuum(space)- discharge of energy-(calculated directional shifts)- momentum- (still no friction)- end of your rope=friction

The porosity of the traveled surface, wind, elevation, density of the air (friction) are not factors in space, as they are on a skateboard in Venice beach.

[/QUOTE]
hit a wall? it's not a friction...

Are you still saying that rocket fuel doesn't' work om outer space?
You really think you convinced me otherwise? :bigjoint:You really think you are that good...

I had so much fun in this thread today. I considered this is "successful trolling" and will be going back under my bridge...

You know, Newton is arguably the smartest human ever to exist, yet these flat earthers think they are smarter.
We are smarter than globeheads. Did an apple fall on you or something? The sun is just dielectric magnetic energy from Mount Meru (exceedingly tall) or something where Satan took Jesus to show him all the kingdoms of the earth. It's in my favorite science textbook, the bible.
