Revisiting a commonly presented image...

Here is Newton proving you wrong:

Newton can't prove anybody wrong. No theory is dependent on the words of any one person. Newton was also an alchemist.
And Tesla certainly believed that the earth was a rotating Globe,

NATURAL FORCES INFLUENCE US

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Accepting all this as true let us consider some of the forces and influences which act on such a wonderfully complex automatic engine with organs inconceivably sensitive and delicate, as it is carried by the spinning terrestrial globe in lightning flight through space. For the sake of simplicity we may assume that the earth's axis is perpendicular to the ecliptic and that the human automaton is at the equator. Let his weight be one hundred and sixty pounds then, at the rotational velocity of about 1,520 feet per second with which he is whirled around, the mechanical energy stored in his body will be nearly 5,780,000 foot pounds, which is about the energy of a hundred-pound cannon ball.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The sun, having a mass 332,000 times that of the earth, but being 23,000 times farther, will attract the automaton with a force of about one-tenth of one pound, alternately increasing and diminishing his normal weight by that amount

Though not conscious of these periodic changes, he is surely affected by them.

The earth in its rotation around the sun carries him with the prodigious speed of nineteen miles per second . . . . .

But for some reason you disagree with Tesla - was  Nikola Tesla wrong about the shape and motions of the earth?

It takes a single counterexample to invalidate a hypothesis.  A pressure on an object will add a force to the object. This force will depend on the objects area. The acceleration of the object will depend on this force and the mass of the object.. This is not see by objects in freefall.  Objects in freefall fall at the same rate regardless of mass or shape.

You really need to learn how to use the "Quote facility" so that you  victim  is identified.

Your assertion has been debunked right here:
https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=73925.msg2026418#msg2026418

Rubbish, of course  "Objects in freefall fall at the same rate regardless of mass or shape".
Try dropping objects dense enough to be negligibly affected by air resistance.
Or dropping any objects in an extremely low pressure chamber.

Which means you are trolling the upper forums as usual.

Incorrect, that would be your presenting arguments totally contrary to well accepted physical laws.

Lol check out the rabbibot claiming satellites sit on tables then calling himself an idiot for saying so:

Here is Newton proving you wrong:
...

Newtonian gravity is no longer the accepted theory for gravitation. You need to advance a few years.

What is interesting is that Einstein's GR can be solved using the Schwarzschild metric^[1] for the case of a small object (say a rocket, a satellite, an aircraft, a car, you, I or a ball) travelling at a velocity much less than "c" near the surface of a massive object (say the earth).

This solution then ends up with simply Newton's Laws of Motion and Gravitation, and includes even centripetal acceleration and the Coriolis effect.

Hence Newtonian solutions are perfectly acceptable for velocities up to at least c/1000 and even for masses well above the earth's mass, though this depends on the precision one needs for the answer.

The gravitational potential energy equation for rockets is based totally on Newtonian gravity.
https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=73925.msg2026412#msg2026412

That's no problem! For all practical purposes GR and Newtonian Gravitation end up with the same result.

[1] See Wikipedia, Schwarzschild metric.

The rabbibot doesn't think gravity forces things downwards:

If you think that post says anything about "claiming satellites sit on tables" you reading comprehension score is about -5 out of 10.

Just check out that post to see the Ignorant Deceptive Voodoo Priest again trying to deceive everybody, as it always does.

But what can we expect? Papa Legba is well known for being a trickster and deceiver.

Gravity does not force anything down! Look at this again.
So gravity does not force things down but just applies a downward force to books on chairs and to satellites in orbit.

But an Ignorant Deceptive Voodoo Priest could not be expected to understand the difference.

So, run away and attend to the Voodoo Priestly rituals that you've been neglecting while trolling here.

The posts prove that you lie and contradict yourself about the most obvious and provable effects of gravitation.

Yet here you are, pontificating about its causes...

You are a timewasting AI algorithm.

And, as usual, you posted another reply whilst I was writing this one.

You did this to waste yet more of my time.

You also contradicted yourself again in it.

Oh, and another reply from empirical whilst I was writing this...

If something is sitting stationery, then it moves away from something, clearly it has gained velocity.

The usual time wasting waffle and personal abuse from an obvious AI algorithm that contradicts itself in the space of one post and does not know gravity forces things down.

This is all it is programmed to do.

The rocket and satellite equations of motion are much more complex than the thrust formula.

How about you deal with your earlier failures before moving on.

Do you accept you were wrong regarding the thrust equations?
If so, are you going to admit that?
If not, are you going to defend your claims?

Or better yet, quit with this off topic tangent (which is just you spamming now, leading the thread further off topic) and deal with the OP.

WHAT CAUSES THE CURVE??

Yes, that does seem to be all you are capable of doing.
Now how about you address my posts explaining why you are wrong (I see you completely ignored it this time, did you run out of excuses?), or better yet, tell us what causes the curve in the image in the OP?

Now how about you address my posts explaining why you are wrong

How about you stop wasting my time asking me to repeat things I already did?

Oh, you will never do that, because you are a time wasting AI algorithm.

Incorrect.

Here is where I answered your mad AI question:

Quote from: JackBlack on February 15, 2018, 04:19:09 PM

A rocket and its exhaust do not move as a single entity.

The mad AI algorithm lies blatantly.

The exhaust of a rocket is a force exerted by the rocket itself and moves with the rocket at all times.

The simplest of observations proves this.

Look:



No further communication is possible with the mad lying AI algorithm.

Since then you have gone mental, as you know you have no plausible response.

Incorrect.

Here is where I answered your mad AI question:

No. That is where you avoided it yet again and provided more evidence that you are wrong.
The rockets are burning fuel, producing exhaust, yet the same amount "stays" with the rocket, indicating the rocket is continually ejecting that exhaust.

In order for you to provide a video showing me to be wrong, you need to show the rocket after it has burnt all its fuel, with all of its exhaust, still attached.
But you will never do that because it doesn't happen in reality.

Now as you are not interesting in any honest response to that and it is already in another thread, deal with the image in the OP.
