Gravity - is it really there?

Definition of Klingon: Intelligent life form from the planet Qo'nos.

Do you think that being able to define something means it is real?

Surely you are not suggesting that Klingons are not real? chatlh! qaH, yIQoy!

Jump up. You fall down. Happens every time.

That was easy.

Would you like us to prove the existence of air next?

With that you have proven that you are heavier than air, that's all.

 

[d taylor]

Obviously that is not possible since it would require you to accept data that you currently ignore, or deny exists. For example, we could not have placed dozens of interplanetary probes into precise locations throughout the solar system if gravity did not exist and we have a sound understanding of it. But, apparently, you deny such probes actually exist, that they are some sort of conspiracy. So why even ask for proof, when you intend to ignore it. Is it not rather insincere?

Is that not how some atheist work, when asking a christian proof of God. And the christian point to creation and in many cases The Bible. They neither accept these as evidence, so why should i accept evidence that i believe is a lie.

Tu quoque much?

Why am I heavy at all?

Why am I heavy at all?

Because you should be

Heaviness and gravity are basically synonyms. If you understand what heavy is, you recognize the factual nature of the existence of gravity.

This doesn't mean that you accept or reject any particular explanation or description of it. But you clearly know that gravity is real.

He doesn't understand. And he doesn't try to understand. That's the whole problem.

See... he doesn't even get the standard flat earth explanations right!
It's the famous question about what is heavier.. one pound of lead or one pound of feathers. Many people don't listen, don't think first, go with an instant gut reaction... and get it wrong.

Flat Earther often claim that the observable motion is the result of "relative density". Not weight. Even on the Flat Earth, Yttrium would have proven that he is more dense than air.
But d taylor cannot even get that right.

You are unaware of the supramundane


Which is why you are atheist

Yeah, whatever.

You've never been able to show it exists. And no, you making claims without any supporting evidence doesn't count.

And no, just showing that there are some people who agree with you doesn't count as evidence.

Anecdote is not evidence.

Anyone can say any story they want. It proves nothing.

Why am I heavy at all?

Because you are full of water and dirt

Is this supposed to be some kind of point you're trying to make?

Do you really think your linking to random bible verses shows anything other than a superficial understanding of what the bible actually says? We can play the game as often as you want - it will get you nowhere.

 

[Ophiolite]

There's a lot of droll posts out of Emmet
And I can't see a way we can stem it.
His words seem so vague,
Just as nice as the plague,
It's the price that we pay when we slum it.

 

[JohnEmmett]

well death will test everyone's philosophical stance

The idea of a gravity force had to be created/thought up by scientist, so their absurd spinning ball of water would be believed.
And i will say it has been successful.
