Some things to think

-If you are in a car that is stopped and you put a ball on the floor, as soon as the car moves forward the ball goes backwards. Once you have been going forward for a while, if you put a ball in the floor it doesn't move, right? This is called Inertia explained for dummies.

That's why when you put a ball on the floor it doesn't move to the sides(speaking about a RE)


Then, on a FE... if you let a ball go at an alltitude, why does it go down? It's supposed to have the innertia of the earth moving, so it should not move.










-Columbus went directly west and a little bit south in his first trip to "India" which ended up being America. According to your maps, he would have ended up in a very different place than he ended up in.






-Anything to say about metherology and the satelites they use for it?  I've been in metheorology offices and they have pictures of earth every few minutes which CORRESPONDS with what it was happening where I was.




-Why would other planets be round except earth?  Then the rocks, clouds, dust and other things in other planets on the southern hemisphere would fall down, right? Or do THEY have a different kind of gravity?


-How thick is your FE for you guys?



-etc.

It does have the inertia; But the Earth is accelerating, which means that it will decrease the distance between it and the object regardless.

Meteorology* - And do you have a picture example of what you saw? Satellites aren't required for meteorology.

-Why would other planets be round except earth?

Why not?

Then the rocks, clouds, dust and other things in other planets on the southern hemisphere would fall down, right?

What?

Or do THEY have a different kind of gravity?

There are different kinds of gravity?

-How thick is your FE for you guys?

Unknown. There is no data off which (except maybe drilling data) to base a number.

If we take the Earth to be your car model, then we are still speeding up along the motorway, at ten metres per second per second so the ball will still go down

-Columbus went directly west and a little bit south in his first trip to "India" which ended up being America. According to your maps, he would have ended up in a very different place than he ended up in.

He'd have ended up in the same place, if he follows a compass bearing west then the needle keeps rotating to match magnetic north, just as it does on RE. He travelled in a circle, just as he would on RE

metherology?? meteorology is aquired by pseudolites

-Why would other planets be round except earth?  Then the rocks, clouds, dust and other things in other planets on the southern hemisphere would fall down, right? Or do THEY have a different kind of gravity?

Why do other planets support life? why do no other planets have no water, the question is non-sequitor . And I don't understand your second question.

-How thick is your FE for you guys?

thick enough.

Seriously, though. nobody can know without a borehole to the bottom.

-etc.

that's what i thought

The flat earth is 9000km thick.

The flat earth is 9000km thick.

where do you derive this figure from?

to an infinite slab of density , obtaining

where A is the area of the "pillbox," G is the gravitational constant, and h is the thickness of the slab. Therefore, the gravitational acceleration is given by

And so, g = 2*pi*G*D*t for an infinite plane with thickness t and Density D.

Plug in 2500 kg/m^3 for D,  9.81m/s/s for g, G for G, and we find a minimum 9000 km for the thickness, t.

While that's all very nice, for that to take effect the  there must be gravitation as we currently understand it, thus negating the UA and asking the question why it isn't ball-shaped.

If its infinite it wouldn't be ball shaped...

if it's infinite then it isn't any shape and the crust could be 1cm thick and it would have infinite mass

if it's infinite then it isn't any shape and the crust could be 1cm thick and it would have infinite mass

Infinite horizontally.  It would have infinite mass.  Where do you get that value for the crust size?

He said "could be 1cm".

Chris Spaghetti, you may or may not already know that Username's model is different from the classical one presented more often on these forums.

Ahh, he did say could.


Still is questionable though =-)
