I put a scale in a vacuum desiccator and saw no change in weight.

I don't want anybody to misinterpret this fatal typo. Sokarul, in the last denpressure thread, performed many experiments that disproved denpressure.

Now, raise your hand if you (or anybody else, for that matter) have ever performed an experiment that provided supported evidence supporting denpressure. (No hands raise)

If denpressure was based upon verifiable fact and not the fever dreams of deranged schizophrenic minds, then this thread would not exist.

Thanks for clarifying. His post really had me scratching my head.

If density and pressure were what keeps us down, then someone would have figured that out hundreds of years ago and our laws of physics would reflect it.  There would be absolutely no reason whatsoever to hide such information.

Lol this thread is bonkers. No matter what sceptimatic or anyone else says you twats will never accept any alternative to gravity. No matter how nutty or foolish gravity is proven to be. There are experiments disproving the THEORY of gravity, but you people ignore those dont you.

Sure, gravity isn't a perfect theory by any means. We still don't know why the universe is expanding at an ever increasing rate.

However, we can use the theory of gravity to make all sorts of predictions, from calculating the force of a meteor impact to predicting where and when eclipses will be visible.

What calculations can one make using the denpressure model?

There are experiments disproving the THEORY of gravity, but you people ignore those dont you.

Like Sokarul, I would love to learn about these experiments.

Seriously?  Do you honestly think that stacking, expanding molecules is any less nutty or foolish than gravity?

If you or anyone else has a better alternative to gravity, then I'd be willing to be that there would be a Nobel prize in your future.

Do you have any links to those experiments?  Have any of those experiments not been thoroughly debunked?

Scepti - do you agree that air pressure decreases with height?
Absolutely.
Therefore do you also agree that the air pressure at the bottom of an object is higher than at the top of an object?
Absolutely.

Please show me these "experiments disproving the THEORY of gravity" that "we people ignore"!
And you say "you people" - I presume to be so bold as believe you are addressing me in "you people".
You have not told me anything about any of these "experiments disproving the THEORY of gravity" so you do not know that I ignore them or whether I know about them, have considered them and discarded them with good reason.

You accuse me (us) of generalising without reason and look what you are doing!

Now, you show:
(1) Valid experiments proving that Newtonian Gravitation is inaccurate on a "local" scale - say within the solar system,

(2) and an alternative theory that provides better and more accurate results.

Yes, I know about General Relativity, and I'll show (by means of a reference or two - not my poor workings) that for practical calculations (velocities << c and masses "not too large") General Relativity reduces to Newton's of motion and gravitation.
Even the sun's mass causes deviations from Newtonian Gravitation that are apparent only by very careful astronomical observations.

That is, show me a valid and better alternative and I'll certainly accept an alternative to gravitation.

Most alternate theories I have seen here are far more nutty and foolish than gravitation has proven to be.

On a cosmic scale and at a sub-atomic level gravitation (at least as explained by General Relativity) might have deficiencies, but on any macro scale up to the scale of say the solar system it is extremely accurate.

[1] I was going to foolishly say "I know all about General Relativity". I "I know about General Relativity", but certainly all abot it!
      Just as I know about quantum theory, but certainly not all about quantum theory.

Here's a pretty simple experiment to prove air pressure is NOT what keeps us down.
Use a large sheet (9 X 12) of the Super thin plastic sheeting, like the stuff used when painting to cover furniture, carpet, etc. Get the thinnest you can find. Now, drape that evenly over your head, and allow the excess to fall around you. Note that the miles of stacked atmosphere above is NOT squeezing the ultra thin plastic wrap around you. If it's not strong enough to squeeze around you tightly, then how can it possibly hold you down?
If you were to stretch the same plastic wrap over the top of the surface of the water in a swimming pool, then jump into the water directly in the center of the plastic, what would happen? We all know what happens, it squeezes all the way around you.
Now, this squeezing in the water is the same squeezing Scepti says the air pressure is supposed to do to keep you down.
Simple experiment debunking denspressure.

The reason for this is because the plastic is equalised with the atmosphere. You've created no pressure difference between the sheet.
A better way to look at it and proves my theory is a vacuum sealer bag, as they are known.
It's the same principle as what's being asked of in that description.
Place an object into the plastic bag and push as much air away out of the bag. As this happens, you can see the item (clothes for instance) become compressed by the atmospheric pressure.
That's all the proof anyone really needs to be fair but most will deny it because they want gravity and a spinning globe to be real and are desperate to keep it that way because somehow they believe it makes them smarter than the average bear...which it does not. It makes them more naive than they think they are.

BUT, that bit was just me having a dig.

That proves absolutely nothing. It is exactly what would be expected to happen with gravity and atmospheric pressure.
Though the only place gravity comes into it (in any significant way) is to cause the atmospheric pressure in the firest place.

So, I don't know why you think it demonstrates denpressure over gravity.

I'm sure rational people can now see that gravity is a complete and utter rigged up name to basically describe the true reality which is denpressure.
The clothes inside the (what's known as) vacuum pack are compressed by atmospheric pressure.
Now place a scale plate inside that plastic vacuum pack and see what happens to the scale.

No-one is denying that it is atmospheric pressure causing the vacuum pack to shrink. It's gravity that gives the atmosphere the weight to do that.

The other morning on my ride to work I encountered something that often happens - a temperature inversion - a layer of warm air capping dense cold air.

Did it suddenly get harder to pedal? Did I weigh more? Why did the cold air sink?

You still need to explain:

2 objects, the same size and shape, made of different materials eg. lead and aluminium, fall at the same speed.

An object weighs the same regardless of the changing atmospheric pressure during the day.

You've just shown that atmospheric pushes in all directions equally. So again, no proof that pressure causes objects to fall.

You've just shown that atmospheric pushes in all directions equally. So again, no proof that pressure causes objects to fall.
If I place a brick on the ground, that brick is pushed into the atmosphere by its own mass/density and is resisting the push back by the ground under it not giving way.

Right there it is being pushed down because IT is pushing up simply by it's own mass/density.
I've said this twice for a reason. It's the same reason why I'm going to say it again. To make you understand it.

The brick is pushing/resisting the atmospheric stack upon it by it's own mass that displaces the atmosphere it is in.

So basically any object that pushes into the atmosphere from the ground, displaces that atmosphere by it's own mass/density.

As long as that object displaces its own mass/density of atmosphere, then it's always going to be under pressure by that amount.
The issue WAS understanding how to measure it.
Solution was man made scales to measure what we know as a weight of that atmospheric pressure upon any mass that pushes into it, by leverage off of a scale plate whether floor mounted or hung from a solid structure.


This cannot be any clearer and it has no fictional gravity involved or required.
Take away the leverage from an object resisting atmospheric push of it's own mass/density and the atmosphere will overcome that resistance, which is why you see dense objects sink fast, because they dis-place most atmosphere over their entirety.

I'm sure rational people can now see that gravity is a complete and utter rigged up name to basically describe the true reality which is denpressure.
The clothes inside the (what's known as) vacuum pack are compressed by atmospheric pressure.
Now place a scale plate inside that plastic vacuum pack and see what happens to the scale.

No-one is denying that it is atmospheric pressure causing the vacuum pack to shrink. It's gravity that gives the atmosphere the weight to do that.

The other morning on my ride to work I encountered something that often happens - a temperature inversion - a layer of warm air capping dense cold air.

Did it suddenly get harder to pedal? Did I weigh more? Why did the cold air sink?
You keep harping on about gravity causing what I mention and when asked to explain gravity; you can't. You simply just say stuff like, " oh so you think Newton's wrong, do you?"
Or some crap like that.
Tell me how gravity causes what I've just explained.
You still need to explain:

2 objects, the same size and shape, made of different materials eg. lead and aluminium, fall at the same speed.

An object weighs the same regardless of the changing atmospheric pressure during the day.
Let's see how long you last this time, in this name.

The answer is, they do NOT fall at the same speed. They appear to fall at the same speed because the test is done over a very short height and you know this.
They do fall at the same speed, measured accurately over a significant height.  Do you have proof this is not true, measurements and/or calculations.

And the weight remaining the same with changes in pressure?
Do you have proof of your claim?
