There’s a reason why when the world wants to describe the dumbest possible person, they’re called a flat-earther

I don't understand this. Is the idea that "density" is the reason things fall or rise, and gravity is not a "thing"?

Density is a property of matter, not a force, so it can't exactly "cause" anything to happen. It doesn't "do" anything in and of itself.

If you think about it, gravity is the driving force behind buoyancy, because it is not only acting on the buoyant object, but also the medium around the object (air/water/etc), causing it to move downward around the object.

So does gravity still exist, but just only act in one direction (straight down)? In that case, why does the sun stay floating up in the air, rather than falling?
According to NA..ever a straight answer.. the gravity that you would think is a one way force towards earth some how slingshots space capsules further out into other orbits...

The sun is a pinpoint of energy, acting as a pilot light. Ever notice all the noble gases are highly flammable. Ever notice the northern lights look like a heater that just got lit with dirty gas and is heating up, about to stop the flicker.

How does it work though? The mainstream scientific model of how stars are formed and work is pretty well-understood; is there such a model explaining the mechanics of the sun as a "pinpoint of energy"?

How come you can keep watching a ship sail over the horizon? As soon as it disappears, you get a slightly bigger telescope, and it reappears above the horizon again. Then you watch it slowly disappear again through that scope, and then grab an even bigger telescope. The ship will appear yet again in the bigger scope. Then you watch it disappear "over the horizon" again. Then, lol.. you grab an even bigger telescope than the last few, and watch it happen again! Is the ship on the other side of the water or not?

Have you actually tried this...?

What do you suppose is the real reason people aren't allowed to explore Antarctica ?

What is the reason Admiral Byrd said there was vast land beyond Antarctica center and why did the military call some of their operations, "Operation fishbowl" and Operation Dominic ?

Were they just trolling potential flat earthers ?
