Listen, I didn't say it was plausible. But that I think it's a gymnast + trick photography over the "obvious explanation" should tell you that I (1) am not trying to BS you, (2) that I genuinely do not believe in zero gravity, and (3) there is something seriously wrong with this video.
Why should it tell us that?
You might BELIEVE there is something seriously wrong with the video, but that doesn't mean there is one.
You claiming things about it, doesn't give us any reason to think there is anything wrong with the video.
Your excuses for it don't hold up at all.
And I'm convinced the only way he would have zero gravity is also not being able to breathe.
For starters, you are entirely wrong, as gravity does not depend on air.
Things still fall in a vacuum chamber.
In fact, they (appear to) weight more and fall faster.
This is because they don't have the buoyant force from the air pushing them upwards, nor air resistance resisting the fall.
And this can be observed on Earth.
But more importantly, you are again confusing zero gravity and 0g.
Probably because so much of your other crap relies upon this misrepresentation of yours.
They are in orbit. This means they are in free fall. Gravity is still acting on them, accelerating them towards Earth.
But their sideways motion means that they don't get closer to Earth and instead circle it.
And the craft they are in is doing the same.
This means they feel 0g. Not that there is zero gravity.
we are still accounting for the fact that this guy tosses a ball forward while zooming backward, and grabs something and climbs in midair
None of what is in the first clip requires any significant skill.
Do you somehow not see that. How do you do 6 twisting somersaults?
Well when you don't have a time limit from gravity making you hit the ground, you can do a lot.
Likewise, you don't have to deal with your weight when you do things on the bar.
CGI is not the be all and end all of camera effects.
Yet you are still unable to explain these 0g clips.
I'm just gonna call the whole thing movie magic and not try to explain it.
Of course you are. Because it is trivial for you to just dismiss evidence that shows your fantasy is wrong. It would be much harder to try to justify that dismissal of yours.
My point? Follow the money.
You mean the money that goes to building and fuelling rockets?
Building and launching satellites?
And so on.
If you follow the money we see there isn't any to waste on faking space.
I do know that real "gravity" is done by buoyancy and momentum
No, you don't.
That is your baseless assertion which you are yet to justify, which you flee from simple questions which expose it as blind faith.
Something being heavier than air provides no reason for it to move in any direction, nor at any particular rate.
Nor does it give it any justification for the existence of the pressure gradient in the atmosphere nor why things defy this pressure gradient instead of the gradient pushing things upwards.
Conversely, gravity provides a justification for the directionality, it is the direction towards Earth.
It provides a justification for the rate and why the rate varies. The different distance to the mass (including different distances/directions to the slightly non-uniform mass of Earth, with some parts having more mass than others).
It is this force that provides a justification for both why the pressure gradient exists, why this causes an upwards force on objects and why objects can still fall despite that.
...Here, I typed "Skylab Fake" and I got this.
Which you happily accept without thinking about it because you want to.
A wind tunnel.
Which in no way helps explain how those clips works.
If you bothered thinking about it you would easily see this.
Wind is based upon area.
If it was a wind tunnel, when the ball was thrown it would fly upwards.
If it was a wind tunnel, the person would be going all over the place as they change their geometry.
You have found an excuse, so you accept it without thinking because you want it to be fake.
Momentum, buoyancy, directionality.
Does not explain it.
Gullible.
Yes, you are.
You want it to be fake, so you gullibly accept whatever BS some conspiracy nut comes up with to accept it as fake.
You fell for a con.
If you didn't you would recognise that wind doesn't explain it.
