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] The atmosphere is a plain practical demonstration of gas pressure with no container. [/quote] You're a fucking idiot. [/quote] I don't think you can't understand the concepts. It goes back to the other thread where you were called intellectually dishonest. You don't consider evidence given to you, but only deflect. You run and hide. [/quote] I understand the concepts. It's not conceptual nonsense that is wanted, its practical demonstration. It's really not hard to work out. [/quote] Yes I agreed I think you can understand them. You are given practical demonstration in observations and measurements and just deny it. Air pressure is not just conceptual. We know how it behaves relative to altitude. In the way it behaves, there is no need for containment, and no evidence for it. But its behavior is evidence for a weighted atmosphere thinning out with distance to a vacuum. Like with gravity, yes, we can't explain the mechanism per se, but apart from the quantum level, we have the best mechanical description of its behavior in Newtonian mechanics. The scientists can correct me, but it can model projectile motion etc. accurately. Newton and gravity wins in practical demonstration, in predicting the behavior of masses. You have nothing better, but just deny. What an easy position to take, but not honest. [/quote] It is not honest if you are just invoking more nonsense to back up your claims. You can verify nothing about what you write.....practically demonstrate, no descriptions, no ideas. [/quote]
