[QUOTE="lasthero, post: 75453601, member: 335892"] You seem to have this really flawed understanding of how force works, and what a force is. Let's say, for a moment, that the Earth is how you think it is, and that it's a snow globe. Okay. Even on this snow globe, things don't just...move. They move because a force is acted on them. If you hold a ball in the air and let go, it [i]moves[/i] towards the Earth. It [i]accelerates[/i] towards the ground. Why? You say on a flat earth there is just up and down, but why does the ball move [i]down[/i] and not up? Why should it move at all if there's no force acting on it? Right now, you're accelerating towards the ground. You'e not moving because there's nowhere for you to go, the ground is stopping you from going further down, but if a hole suddenly opened beneath you, you would accelerate again, until you hit whatever ground was beneath you. Things don't just accelerate, they accelerate because a force is acting on them. If you say gravity isn't real, what is this force? What is making every object on this planet accelerate, and not only that, accelerate in the [i]same direction?[/i] [/QUOTE]
