peggywebbs: The confusion here is that; someone that can type like this cannot understand some simply applicable facts yet you make your affirm opinion with such confident...... Have you heard about mass distribution of the earth ? How the water table of that borehole in your house was determined ? Have you heard about gravity observation for the determination of minerals ? Those are simple comprehensible application of gravity And how can the earth be flat ? In elementary secondary school geography, earth was taught to be sphere with proves such as; differences in time at different geographical locations, ship visibility, day and night etc....it is characterized with an imaginary lines of longitude and latitude As a bonus for you....those imaginary line are not imaginary in actual sense........they make it possible for you to use Google map, they are also an important fact when constructing roads, bridges, navigation on sea and in air and so on In advance geodesy, the earth shape is actually oblate spheroid........as an assignment for you go read about solar mean time |

wickedtuna: Baring air resistance, your phone and a feather will pretty much fall to the ground at the same time. This experiment has been carried out countless times with same result/outcome. You can easily find such videos on YouTube. |

EMILO2STAY:i should prove that China, U.S, Japan, Russia and Europe all came together to lie to us? Should I disbelieve them and believe someone like you who has absolutely no knowledge on how gravity works? |

EMILO2STAY: The feather will slow down due to air resistance |

nwabekeyi:your smart sha but not as you think. then how come a small magnet can overcome gravity by attracting objects to it. is it not close to a Much bigger spinning object called earth?. so how come the earths gravity make men and every other thing stick to it but the suns gravity makes planets spin around it. or how come gravity make the ocean stick to earth but let mosquitoes fly in the air. |

nwabekeyi:if I have no knowledge about it then why don't you prove it to me. |

EMILO2STAY:can you define a magnet? If yes then why can’t a magnet attract a pinch of salt or probably a feather? 3 Likes |

2metrelaurie:but I thought gravity is pulling it. how come gravity can be able to stick objects like cars and trains on the earth but let something like air overcome it? |

EMILO2STAY:Make money, pay NASA, they will take you to the ISS. Simple It’s gonna be a total waste of time after all because you will still argue that they took you to a cinema. |

Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by EMILO2STAY(m): 9:06pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
nwabekeyi:if according to the theory of gravity object with mass attract other object with lesser mass. then the ball should attract other smaller objects just like he magnet does. if gravity is acting on the objects on the ball to fall down then that same gravity should also attract the object to fall off a magnet or it a mag net more powerful than than gravity? |

Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by Nobody: 9:10pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
EMILO2STAY:ol, you expect humans with such little mass to spin around a huge mass like earth? The answer is here F=GMm/r*r If you are smart enough to crack that formula, it will provide the answer on why humans cannot spin around but stuck to earth. If you can’t then that’s not my problem, go back to school |
Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by Nobody: 9:10pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
EMILO2STAY:what is a magnet? And why can’t magnet attract a feather? |
Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by EMILO2STAY(m): 9:12pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
nwabekeyi:yea of course they went to the moon in 1969 brought back a moon rock but years later it turned out to be a wood. maybe the moon is made of wood. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/space/6105902/Moon-rock-given-to-Holland-by-Neil-Armstrong-and-Buzz-Aldrin-is-fake.html they also said before sending people to space they must first solve the problem of the van Allen radiation belt. they also told you that satellites are in the thermosphere were temperature goes up to 2000°c enough to melt titanium and gold. oga you need to stop arguing about what you don't know go and seek knowledge first. |
Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by Ola17: 9:15pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
I’ve come to understand that ‘flat earthers’ are mostly people with trust issues(no offense). You doubt gravity, satellites in orbit etc, dismiss science as ‘nonsense’ yet you enjoy the fruits of such painstaking discoveries. How can weather forecast, gps, Dstv etc work without satellites in space? This kind denial of the obvious weak me walahi. It has become obvious that these people aren’t trolling. 1 Like |

nwabekeyi:I don't know what is a magnet but I know it attracts stuffs, my problem is why will earth's gravity allow a magnet to attract an object but would not let a massive ball attract an object according to the theory of gravity. is the magnet more powerful than gravity?. |
Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by Nobody: 9:17pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
EMILO2STAY:The thermosphere is between altitude 53-55miles above earth surface. The low orbit satellites are 400-1000miles above earth surface. Where do you get your info from? |
Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by EMILO2STAY(m): 9:18pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
Ola17:there are ground based gps satellites . and TV satellites were invented and were working long before NASA claimed to have sent satellites to space. |
Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by Nobody: 9:19pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
EMILO2STAY:now I see where your problem lies. You don’t even know what a magnet is. |
Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by Nobody: 9:20pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
EMILO2STAY:can you Tell us the full meaning of GPS? Global Positioning System, say it slowly It’s global not flatal |
Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by Ola17: 9:22pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
nwabekeyi: Lol. |
Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by EMILO2STAY(m): 9:34pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
nwabekeyi:I should be asking that question . https://science.howstuffworks.com/satellite7.htm |

EMILO2STAY:Half education is dangerous. Start by grasping basic scientific concepts first, every other thing will be easier for you to understand. |
Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by EMILO2STAY(m): 9:36pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
nwabekeyi:yes I don't know but the problem you are yet to answer is why will gravity attract a 20ton object to it but leaves objects to gum to a magnet and biasedly drag object from guming to a massive football. pls explain why?. |
Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by EMILO2STAY(m): 9:37pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
Ola17:you haven't proved gravity to me with all the science you studied. |
Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by Nobody: 9:39pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
EMILO2STAY:Highlight the portion of this article that said satellites can be launched into the thermsophere. Does that even make any sense to you? Satellites are lunched into orbit not into the atmosphere (how can a satellite orbit in the thermosphere?) Show us where the article said satellites are lunched into the thermosphere. |
Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by EMILO2STAY(m): 9:39pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
nwabekeyi:oh yes global positioning system but not One picture of earth from space they keep recycling a photoshopped image of the earth. |
Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by Nobody: 9:40pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
EMILO2STAY:Should I start by explaining what a magnet is or what? |
Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by Nobody: 9:42pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
EMILO2STAY:Do you even know the function of a ground based GPS? Or you just want to confuse yourself? Tell us, what’s the function of a ground based GPS? |
