Ok, explain this then
« on: November 17, 2009, 09:54:38 AM »
Everything seems to fall straight down on earth because it is ROUND the shortest distance to the center of earth. So tell you friends things would fall at different angles if the earth was flat because since gravity pulls toward the center objects falling near the sides would fall at nearly 45 degree angles and THINGS DONT you idiots! Everything falls straight down because earth is round and the quickest path toward the center is STRAIGHT DOWN.

Also explain this. If gravity doesnt exist. What happens to an apple that falls off the edge of the earth? What pulls it down? What causes the apple to fall if gravity DOES NOT exist?
That would be a simulation of the fabric of space-time bending back upon itself

See plane of mass:

And earth accelerates up to the apple.
"We know that the sun is 93 million miles away and takes up 5 degrees of the sky.

I know the plane of mass and gravity. I was pointing at the FE'ers that continously say a sphere is impossible because all the water would *fall off* without something holding it. They say its impossible because gravity is non-existant and hasnt been proven. What i want to know is in a Flat earth world where would an apple go if gravity doesnt exist. How does anything even stay at its spot if gravity doesnt exist?

It's in the FAQs.

Go read them.
