A friend of mine believes that the Earth is flat. I challenged him to prove it by walking off the edge...

Right? And it completely surrounds us. Right? A total vacuum, zero air pressure, torr of 0.00 Yet earth has an atmosphere and clouds. Right? How? The Karman line is the edge of space. 62 miles. So. Oxygen and nitrogen hug the surface with a hard vacuum a few dozen miles above? Tell us about gravity on your planet, Usul. Does it pull clouds down to the earth. [/quote] We know that air has weight and is more dense at lower altitudes, less dense with increasing altitude eventually at zero pressure, vacuum. [/quote] LOL. "We"!???!!? Who, the congregation? Ideas versus reality. You cannot have gas pressure without a container.....ever. Practical demonstration of your rediculous claim please....no interest in pseudo-science here. [/quote] Are you saying air has no weight? You can prove it yourself with two balloons and a dowel. I would say you can take measurements of air pressure with a barometer, but if I'm not mistaken, you don't believe such instrumentation. If you did, you would see that air pressure is higher closer to the earth, and reduced with altitude. [/quote] Nope I'm not saying air has no weight. Selective choice. I've stated clearly what the issue is. I'm not here for a fuck about. Now, the practical demonstration of gas pressure with no container...... [/quote]
