I know this but why would Elihu say this if it weren't true ?

Job's false friends said a lot of things that were not true, such as Job's sufferings being a result of a sinful life.

Maybe Job's friend really believed he was right even though he wasn't. You have yourself said lots of things that's not true in this and other threads. Same reason?

@Herman Hedning that was a classic example of "Moving the Goalpost."

I don't, but I do believe there is a dome that seperates the waters from above from the waters below.
But just suppose for the moment that your idea of a solid dome preventing the earth's atmosphere escaping is true. Does that fit with observable facts? If the atmosphere was trying to escape, and was only prevented from doing so by a solid dome, we would expect there to be more atmosphere the nearer we got to the dome. But that is not what happens. The higher one goes from the earth, whether in a plane or by climbing a mountain, the less atmosphere there is.

Exactly. Air pressure, and its density, both decrease the higher up one goes. Why, if air is trying to escape from earth, and is only prevented from doing so by a solid dome barrier?

What does air do if faced with a vacuum ?

It depends on what else is around. Here on earth, if somebody opened a vacuum jar to the air, the air would rush in to fill it. But with regard to the earth, air has weight, which attracts it to the earth, and prevents it being "sucked away" into a vacuum. I must repeat that I am not a scientist, so I am sure that somebody with more scientific knowledge could put it much better.

Yes like the Morley experiment which they aggressively refute, by saying the aether does not exists when in fact it certainly does.
Do you wake up each morning and roll on a chart to see which conspiracy theory you will bring to the forum?

I find it hard to believe someone get’s it so consistently wrong at every take it really makes me wonder about your motives here.

Sorry, in the previous posts, you made no mention of crushing a vacuum chamber with a hydraulic press. I thought we were discussing the necessity or otherwise of a solid dome to keep the atmosphere from escaping from the earth.

We are, what would happen to air if confronted by a vacuum ?

Well, I have already answered that. It would depend on the situation. Air has weight - I understand tat a cubic metre of air at sea level weighs 1.3 kilograms, and the total weight of the earth's atmosphere is 5 quadrillion tonnes. The air's weight keeps the air on the earth. Without that weight, it would "escape" into any vacuum. I still don't understand why you posted a link to details of an experiment using a hydraulic press.
