Are you a woman? If not shut it, unless you can look at the above evidence objectively.

The Rabbit Hole

Curvature of water is quite simple. On a small scale, it looks flat. On a large scale it follows the curvature of the earth because it seeks the lowest possible level potential energy state. It is pulled towards the centre of the earth just like ...

The Rabbit Hole

So you are trying to switch the blame now onto my "sensitivities?" You're an even bigger arsehole than I thought you were. What you said to me, you would never say to a man, in large bold font, which makes you a sexist pig. You know full well what I ...

The Rabbit Hole

I would welcome you to pick holes in my explanations. Science is about challenging and being challenged. It is not about personal attacks. Verv has never attacked me on a personal level. So if you bothered to read the posts properly, you will see ...

The Rabbit Hole

Newton could explain what happens but he didn't know why. That is where Einstein's Theory of General Relativity comes in, but I'm not going to say anything more as I don't want to get any more personal abuse.

The Rabbit Hole

That's nice of you to end the discussion. I answered questions because I was asked. You really have an attitude problem. There was no need for personal attacks.

The Rabbit Hole

It does increase until you hit the earth's core. Look, I am doing my best here; I am not a teacher and what I learnt was a long time ago. I don't need this shit. Look it up yourself, this is just GCSE stuff.

The Rabbit Hole

It doesn't have to be a solid mass. Jupiter is a gas giant and has a number of moons orbiting it, proving there is a gravitational field.

The Rabbit Hole

I meant to the centre of mass. You do the explaining then, rather than having a go at me. I didn't see you countering the flat earth belief earlier.

The Rabbit Hole

The earth has the greater mass so the pull is stronger. The moon doesn't collapse into earth because of a balance of forces; it is not mass-less. It ends up in an orbit because of a sideways force from the momentum - think of swinging a ball on the ...

The Rabbit Hole

No you don't get the maths. This equation explains everything. image Why did the apple fall down to earth and not sideways or upwards? There is a force between all objects, in the case of planets they are gravitational fields. Why do you think ...

The Rabbit Hole

See Newton's Law of Gravity equation, post 10,375.

The Rabbit Hole

See graph above. Gravity increases the deeper you go. No ocean floor is remotely near the earth's core. It is all kept down by gravity.

The Rabbit Hole

The density of the earth is non uniform, being denser at the core, so until you get there, it will actually increase. image

The Rabbit Hole

No, increases. You're getting nearer the centre.

The Rabbit Hole

Gravity is the same whatever medium you are in, whether it's air, water or custard, assuming you are at the same altitude or depth. Gravity of the earth and pressure of your medium are entirely different things.

The Rabbit Hole

The latter. By far. You're not going that deep. You would be crushed to oblivion by the water pressure before you would notice any change in gravitational pull.

Ah, but gravity would be too great pulling them back to the middle, like trying to jump up a mountain. So you would be stuck with them.
