No I dodged the question because I know my science is right or not, based on instinct and observations.
You mean you dodged the question because you are so desperate for your fantasy to be right, and you know these simple questions destroy it.
Let's do something here. We're going to check "gravity" against the standard of a fantasy story and see how well it stacks up.
You mean you will check your fantasy version of gravity, which ignores so much about reality and does nothing to show any fault with gravity itself.
This is how backward and superstitious your so-called scientific theory looks to me.
No, that is how backwards and superstitious your fantasy invention looks to you.
That is not gravity you are objecting to, as has been explained several times.
It presupposes a force that doesn't have any consistency
Gravity is consistent. You are yet to a show a single inconsistency.
Saying it is inconsistent is like saying because magnets can attract or repel it is inconsistent.
You just fail to honestly represent the force you are arguing against.
ignores the fact that gravity can't be tested on a micro scale
You mean ignoring the lie.
Gravity can be tested at a smaller scale, but it takes care to set up your experiment so it wont be useless due to the much greater force of attraction to Earth.
e.g. the Cavendish experiment.
Buoyancy can be tested locally
Your delusional crap can be tested and shown to be wrong due to the pressure gradient.
If you ignore that, those tests are equally tests of gravity. But you want to reject gravity at all costs so you pretend it can't be gravity but can be your BS.
If you wish to disagree, clearly explain how it is a test of your delusional BS but not gravity, especially when you are doing whatever you can to pretend your delusional BS produces the same results as gravity.
But the sun's gravity is more massive than the Earth's!
Not when you include the distance, as already explained.
And this requires you to ignore the fact that the entire Earth is accelerating towards the sun as it orbits it.
Do you not notice the massive difference between your BS test and Earth orbiting the sun?
Earth orbiting the sun is Earth in free fall outside the Roche limit of any more massive body.
Your test is your tiny balls sitting on Earth.
They are not comparable.
Earth is not a tiny ball sitting on the sun.
If it were a pull thing, the sun despite distance, is thousands of times more massive.
You can't just ignore distance.
Not when the strength of the force is based upon distance.
Water doesn't stick to spheres. It's contained inside basins.
No, it isn't magically contained. It tries to go to Earth.
If you take the basin and turn it sideways, the water doesn't magically stay inside.
Birds fly for the same reason you are able to swim.
No they don't. We are roughly neutrally buoyant, depending on how much air is in our lungs.
Birds are much more dense than air.
Birds fly by flapping their wings.
We humans aren't pulled to the sun
Only in your fantasy.
that shouldbe proof enough that it is negative buoyancy that causes things to fall, and positice buoyancy that makes them rise, not gravity.
No.
The fact you need to continually ignore the pressure gradient is proof enough that objects fall due to gravity, a pressure gradient is established due to gravity, and this pressure gradient pushes things up as the buoyant force.
This results in a coherent system which actually works. Your delusional BS does not.
This is the only formula you need to know (in regards to this, anyway).
That formula is entirely useless as it doesn't tell me things like what weight would a scale read? How quickly will it accelerate?
Will it go up or down?
These are quite important when considering other forces. Like the force due to the pressure gradient.
Again, if we take an object with the same density as the surrounding fluid, we end up with a force of 0 from your delusional BS.
That means the main force acting will be the pressure gradient, which pushes it up. So an object with equal density should rise.
In order to have them stay put, you need to have your BS force change to a downwards force based upon mass, with the force from the pressure gradient countering that.
Again, if you want to pretend your BS works, you need to address these massive issues with your delusional BS:
1 - Why having a different density to air should cause something to accelerate?
2 - Why in particular direction?
3 - Why at a particular rate?
4 - Why does this rate vary with location?
5 - Why does this exert a force on scales, including when they are made of a material denser than the object in question?
6 - Why does this create and maintain a pressure gradient?
7 - Why this particular pressure gradient based upon the density of the fluid, such that a lesser pressure gradient causes the fluid to fall and compress the fluid below while a greater pressure gradient pushes the fluid up?
8 - Why this pressure gradient doesn't just push everything up?
