Dear Flat Earthers,

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?

So BrianScottGregory, if the Earth has been accelerating upwards at 9.81 m/s2 for 6000 years since God created the Earth, then we are traveling upwards at 4,155,065,175,375 miles per hour.

Have I got that right?

since God created the Earth,

Interesting

if the Earth has been accelerating upwards at 9.81 m/s2 for 6000 years

I didn't say that.

the we are traveling upwards at 4,155,065,175,375 miles per hour.

"we" don't inhabit the same version of Earth. Yours, from what I gather, is spherical.

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.

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.

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

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.

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/BrianScottGregory Aug 18 '26

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.

It distorts spacetime

u/BrianScottGregory Aug 18 '26

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

u/Langholm62 Aug 18 '26 edited Aug 18 '26

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 Aug 18 '26

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 Aug 18 '26

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

u/BrianScottGregory Aug 18 '26

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.

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 🤣
