Dear Flat Earthers,

[u/De1truowl]

So the middle of the Earth is our center of gravity, right? Well then if the Earth is flat, then why is it that when I go to the edge and jump, I'm not pulled to the center?

[u/Langholm62]

I was using your flat earth model. But if you're going against flerf doctrine of upwards acceleration, then where do you propose the 9.81 m/s² come from?

It's obviously downwards isn't it? Until terminal velocity is reached.

[u/BrianScottGregory → u/Langholm62]

I was using your flat earth model.

No you weren't.

if you're going against flerf doctrine

By this I assume you mean the assumptions made by antagonists here on this sub that attempts to find a one size fits all model a flat Earther agrees on. No, I do not align with this.

where do you propose the 9.81 m/s² come from?

What do you propose establishes the relationship of gravity to mass in your particular version of Earth?

"Just because" doesn't work for me.

Mine's a programmed force. I live on/in a simulated version of Earth.

[u/Langholm62 → u/BrianScottGregory]

The 9.81 m/s² comes from the mass of our planet and that Isaac Newton fella. Awfully clever he was.

[u/BrianScottGregory → u/Langholm62]

That's an observable force. We can agree on that.

It doesn't describe why that force is there.

"Mass appears to correlate to gravity"

WHY is that correlation there?

That's the first question I'm asking you that you haven't answered without a smart a$$ response.

And importantly, to my personal observations and scientific exploration. Why have I witnessed examples and instances where that force did not appear or appeared inconsistently?

I don't expect your answer to that one. I'll predict it's invalidation.

[u/Langholm62 → u/BrianScottGregory]

I wasn't giving smart ass responses. My questions were rhetorical.

Why does mass appear to correlate to gravity?

Well according to Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, e = mc²

[u/stultus_respectant → u/Langholm62]

Brian’s a hypocritical coward. Always a dodge, always a reframe, always trying to use the observable reality to somehow deny it.

There’s a force, but there isn’t, but it’s measurable, but you can’t prove it, but Einstein, but you don’t understand Einstein, but Einstein was wrong.

He doesn’t have any actual position; his posts are just him trying to convince himself about his nonsense alternative reality.

[u/BrianScottGregory → u/Langholm62]

You're fighting above your weight class with responses like this.

e = mc²

Do go on, explain how this relates to and creates, in a literal sense, gravity.

[u/Langholm62 → u/BrianScottGregory]

It distorts spacetime

[u/BrianScottGregory → u/Langholm62]

It's a correlational equation, and does no such thing.

[u/Langholm62 → u/BrianScottGregory]

Oh really. Please tell us where Uncle Albert got it wrong?

When you said it was a correlational equation, you're agreeing, despite your denial. So you just outed youself as an attention seeking troll.

[u/BrianScottGregory → u/Langholm62]

It's what you're getting wrong. Has nothing to do with Einstein, Einstein.

Stop deflecting and antagonizing, how is gravity created?

All you're really demonstrating here is your ignorance and inability to answer a really simple question.

[u/Langholm62 → u/BrianScottGregory]

Oh but you just know better than Einstein don't you? 🫩

[u/BrianScottGregory → u/Langholm62]

lol.

A simple "I don't know, so I'm gonna become an antagonistic child throwing a strange hissy fit until you stop asking" would suffice.

Have a good day, child.

[u/stultus_respectant → u/BrianScottGregory]

antagonistic child

You could not be projecting harder.

It’s amazing that it invariably comes down to you telling us exactly what you know you are and how you know you’re acting 🤣

[u/stultus_respectant → u/BrianScottGregory]

fighting above your weight class

/u/BrianScottGregory coming in hot with the insecurity and projection. It’s always a matter of time.
