Rockets don't need the atmosphere to work, gravitation doesn't need the atmosphere to work, hence everything does not need the atmosphere to work.
Wrong.
Incorrect. The fact that rockets don't need any atmosphere has been explained numerous times and demonstrated.
Don't blame us for your inability or unwillingness to understand it.
And, whatever you might dream up, reality does not need your approval, Mr SkeptiManiac.
It certainly doesn't. All we do need is for those who bypass reality to actually give us back the reality. That's all that's needed.
However, if that happens then we would have very little news to go on to play with our heads, from war propaganda to silly space adventures that get sillier every day.
Just look in a mirror to learn one of those "who bypass reality".
But the whole point is that the shape of the Earth is not a recent theory and predates any of your claimed "silly space adventures that get sillier every day" by millennia!
Whatever you claim, it is impossible to deduce how everything works from "common sense".
Deducing how out how everything works requires a tremendous amount of research and careful measurement.
One person, however smart he thinks he is, simply cannot do that - get used to that.
We simply have to rely on the work of others.
Your problem is, you think I go against everything. I don't.
You reject all of physics that goes against the hypotheses you dream up yet those hypotheses have no useful applications.
Whenever you are asked to make a calculation based on those hypotheses you refuse because you can't.
But the real physics of gases and the atmosphere allows the design of aircraft and to predict just how they will fly and perform.
I just don't trust a lot of stuff and also think a lot of stuff is told in an alternate way to the reality.
They still work in reality but the explanations of how and why are hidden behind a smokescreen, in my opinion.
Yes, it's all "your opinion" because you refuse to research the available material on these things that you claim are "are hidden behind a smokescreen".
But most of the theories about gases are based on the
Gas Laws that were initially developed from experimental work as far back as 350 years (Boyle's Law). Back there the reasons for these laws were not known and that came later with the
kinetic theory of gases, developed during the 1800s.
If that wasn't true why would there be such a plethora of flat Earth "theories" none of which agree with each other.
Take for example the flat Earth "theories" presented in:
TFES.org: The Flat Earth Wiki,
Sandokhan's Advanced Flat Earth Theory and
Your flat Denpressure Earth Theory described somewhere.
These are all vastly different so cannot all be correct - and after looking into them it seems far more likely that none are correct.
Yep, including a spinning globe and many many more theories.
Nope, it does not include the rotating Globe.
That was developed gradually over millennia and for some 1800 years the Earth was thought "For truly it is an orb placed in the centre of the universe", the Venerable Bede, around 700 AD.
The Earth's being a
slowly rotating was developed over the period from the late 1500s till the early 1700s.
Finding which one is correct will take more than a tiny human with basic craft to fathom.
That's already been done and that is why there is such a plethora of flat Earth models - none can possibly work because the Earth is not flat!
A flat Earth is quite impossible.
One easily reason for this impossibility is that the real Earth has been circumnavigated in enough different directions that those doing it would have to meet the edge that any flat Earth must have.
What's left?
Simply admitting that it is impossible to develop a flat Earth model that "works".
It's all about putting it all together with the experiments (however small) we can all do to gain some kind of potential needle sized realism in a massive haystack of hypotheticals and basic lies.
The experiments have been done and there were plenty done many centuries ago. You really should study up on the history of the shape of the Earth.
And you simply have to, sooner or later, simply face the fact that when it comes to the basic shape and movement of the Earth there is no "massive haystack of hypotheticals and basic lies".
There are still plenty of unknowns but on Earth these are simply very small details or inaccessible locations - such as deep underground.
