What, i don't understand. What idea did i steal? I just bought some magic dust to make the earth flat and that was someone elses idea?

Flat Earth Debate / Conclusive Evidence Of Flat Eart Found
« on: September 16, 2007, 06:38:54 PM »
One day i was walking along the VERY FLAT flat earth and i stumbled apon some magic dust. This must be the magic that makes the earth flat and yet disobey so many laws of science. Well i sent this magic dust into a local university for study (Harvard) and they returned the sample with a note saying that this magic dust is very magic and they all believe in the Flat Earth Theory because of me.
Here is a picture of the magic dust.
Please don't reward me all at once, my pay pal account only has so much room for money.
PS: I think you can buy this magic dust at a local grocery store for around $3.00. DON'T USE TOO MUCH or else it will cause the government to kill you and your family for the lots of money they will get from the conspiracy using these steps.
1-Kill family for conspiracy cover up
2-???
3-PROFIT!!!

« on: June 13, 2007, 07:27:58 PM »The answer is simple. Other planets are not the earth.Thats because we have magical dirt.
Again with the Magical stuff. If anybody uses Magic as a reason that just means they have no argument.

« on: June 13, 2007, 07:23:30 PM »Well, all of the planets look flat even when viewed with a powerful telescope, therefore you are on the Conspiracy.
If you record it for hours you will notice what is called "rotation". Something that round planets do. And you will see not one side but a 3D figure of a rough Sphere.

Yes it seems i was terribly mistaken. I was confused for a moment. But we were both wrong, mass is not constant.
On the other hand i found this:
We often use the terms "mass" and "weight" interchangeably in our daily speech, but to an astronomer or a physicist they are completely different things. The mass of a body is a measure of how much matter it contains. An object with mass has a quality called inertia. If you shake an object like a stone in your hand, you would notice that it takes a push to get it moving, and another push to stop it again. If the stone is at rest, it wants to remain at rest. Once you've got it moving, it wants to stay moving. This quality or "sluggishness" of matter is its inertia. Mass is a measure of how much inertia an object displays.
Weight is an entirely different thing. Every object in the universe with mass attracts every other object with mass. The amount of attraction depends on the size of the masses and how far apart they are. For everyday-sized objects, this gravitational pull is vanishingly small, but the pull between a very large object, like the Earth, and another object, like you, can be easily measured. How? All you have to do is stand on a scale! Scales measure the force of attraction between you and the Earth. This force of attraction between you and the Earth (or any other planet) is called your weight.
If you are in a spaceship far between the stars and you put a scale underneath you, the scale would read zero. Your weight is zero. You are weightless. There is an anvil floating next to you. It's also weightless. Are you or the anvil mass-less? Absolutely not. If you grabbed the anvil and tried to shake it, you would have to push it to get it going and pull it to get it to stop. It still has inertia, and hence mass, yet it has no weight. See the difference?
The Relationship Between Gravity and Mass and Distance
As stated above, your weight is a measure of the pull of gravity between you and the body you are standing on. This force of gravity depends on a few things. First, it depends on your mass and the mass of the planet you are standing on. If you double your mass, gravity pulls on you twice as hard. If the planet you are standing on is twice as massive, gravity also pulls on you twice as hard. On the other hand, the farther you are from the center of the planet, the weaker the pull between the planet and your body. The force gets weaker quite rapidly. If you double your distance from the planet, the force is one-fourth. If you triple your separation, the force drops by one-ninth. Ten times the distance, one-hundredth the force. See the pattern? The force drops off with the square of the distance. If we put this into an equation it would look like this:

« on: June 13, 2007, 06:23:29 PM »11) So, an object not experiencing gravitation has no mass?
You are getting Mass mixed up with Matter. Matter is constant. Matter can weigh anything depending on the gravitational pull. So if there were 0 Gravity which usually there isn't considering the massive gravity of nearby stars (even if they are hundreds of light years away) it would weigh 0 kg. But the matter would still be there.
Is that not a contradiction? And isn't it mass that is constant?
Mass is not constant, mass changes with gravitational pull, Matter is constantly there but it's Mass can change. I worded the structure of my paragraph wrongly.
