nah man that's not the round earth theory at all. ozone floats above the nitrogen because it's less dense, like oil floats on water. all the gasses on the round earth are held down by gravity

so how about we don't let this degenerate into an argument about arguing. stay on topic kids

how can spy planes fly eighty miles up if the ice wall only holds in air one hundred and fifty feet above the surface of the earth?

Flat Earth Q&A / A problem with your "gravity"
« on: June 02, 2006, 10:47:53 PM »
the relativity argument is quite valid. acceleration is a result of force. general relativity gives consideration to force exerted by gravity, but relativity in general says that if a force is exerted on an object, the energy used to exert the force is converted into matter and the mass of the object increases. so, assuming a constant, non gravitational acceleration, the limit of m (mass) as t (time) approaches infinity is infinity. this leads to the statement that the limit of f (force exerted on the object) as t (again, time) approaches infinity is infinity. long story short, the four elephants and a turtle pushing the earth up at 9.8 m/s/s will eventually exert an infinite force on the earth. that's not even taking into account the effects on time and space. so, in short, those four elephants and a turtle are pretty fucking strong critters

also, since this forum seems to be so obsessed with flight, i may as well mention that it turns out that flight(with wings) would be impossible above one hundred and fifty feet

Probably the same reason water doesn't escape over the edge of a bucket when you pick it up.
well, when you pick a bucket of water up, the water is held in because it can not pass through the walls of the bucket. if the ice wall is only 150 feet tall, that means that if you go up 150 feet, you run out of air, because any air above 150 feet would flow over the ice wall, because of the tendency of a gas to expand to fill all space available. acceleration keeps air down in the round earth model, the air does not have enough energy to escape earth's gravity, but it still tries to reach a state in which pressure is at an equilibrium, that is to say that the air moves across the surface of the earth in an effort to reach equilibrium. in the flat earth model, with the same acceleration, the air would do the same, but at 150 feet above the base of the ice wall, the air would still move laterally to eqalize pressure, but in doing so, it would move off the earth. i live at about six thousand feet. even if the government is lying to me and i actually live at sea level, i have traveled, on many occasions, one hundred and fifty feet up. i can verify this because from my starting point, i saw my final destination and it was certainly at least one hundred and fifty feet about my starting point. i could do some simple math to determine the exact change in elevation, but i'm sure most of you have had similar enough experiences to take this as truth

how do seasons work in the flat earth model?

what if, instead of talking about straight lines, i say "i get in a plane and go forward without making any effort to change direction"? of course, this is a thought experiment, so for now let's just ignore wind currents and all that and assume that the plane goes neither left nor right. it will continue to go in the direction in which it was pointed when i made it go, except that gravity on the round earth will cause the plane to follow the curve of the earth. to apply the situation to real life, what would keep a person from flying off the edge of the earth? do the jet streams flow in a circle around the north pole, east to west or vice versa, and cause enough push to turn the plane in a circle? do pilots have to constantly turn if they want to go east or west?
what if i get in a plane and fly south? do i go off the edge?

In the flat earth model, why does air, when pushed up on by the ground accelerating upwards, or pulled down by gravity, not compress and escape over the ice wall?
