A gomboc is a some what spherical object with only one stable side while supposedly having equal mass no matter which way you turn it.
As we know a perfect sphere can't sit without rolling about. If we were rolling about we would very disoriented and probably fall over. This is why Earth is a gomboc

Interesting explanation, but deeply flawed reasoning. A sphere sitting on a solid surface might roll about. One held in tension by gravitational and centrifugal forces is not unstable.

But we dont know what gravity is made of so ...

But we can test and observe its effects with great precision, so the substance of it is quite thoroughly irrelevant. ;)

Is commonality and causality the same thing?

Because if we were spinning around we would get dizzy and fall down and then like from a merry go round we would get ejected from the planet.

I don't think there is gravity. I think much like dinosaurs. Not real. Somebody has an over active imagination.

That’s a strawman fallacy. If you understood the physics of Earth’s rotation you would not make such silly claims.

You are welcome to your opinion on both matters, of course. Reality is not affected by your disbelief.

🤣

If they ban you for your flatulent sense of humor they gotta be fair and ban the one who started the earth is flat argument that has always been a theory full of ....

It's only fair.

[That's a mirror that's set in front of the spider, btw] That's so cute. ☺️


😆 Watch, a 'gravity is a myth' thread is coming soon.

Dude you do know I am making fun of how flat earthers make their arguments. It is satirical sarcasm. Sorry bro. But I did think you knew and were just playing along.

here is a really cool app:

http://walter.bislins.ch/bloge/index.asp?page=Flat+Earth+Dome+Model&demo=Intro#App

shows how light rays would have to travel for flat earth to be true.
i read that it's being shared around FE forums as though it's **proof** that FE is true, but the author's express intent is disproving FE -- and the people sharing it clearly have zero knowledge of optics.


play around and see how ridiculously inconsistently & impossibly light rays have to bend in order for FE to be remotely possible.
be amazed at how gullible and ignorant the people sharing this as *proof* must be.
