Seems like a nice, wholesome thread.




I walked in the same direction the other day and it was FLAT
Y'all can't tell me the earth is round cuz I didn't go downhill brother

jump off a cliff and you'll go down alot real fast

pick up your goddamn sandwich punk


Gravity assists in the bringing down of black suspects as they take fire while fleeing from police, like a great ape being assassinated by fur poachers in the jungles of Africa.

yeah the existance of gravity's a real downer

thought this article was interesting

I recommend reading the actual submission by Dr. Erik Verlinde which can be found here (.pdf)

I'm glad you found one article where somebody who is at-least not an irrelevant nobody or renowned dumbass to say "gravity doesn’t exist" for the purpose of attention, but it's very clear that you have no idea what this article is saying, because it's agreeing that gravity exists, but saying it is an entropic force as opposed to a fundamental force. It doesn't say anything about my sandwich falling down when I drop it because it's "denser than air", that makes no sense.

Here is the wikipedia article about the theory, and it is unsurprisingly very much a theory. It literally says "The theory of entropic gravity abides by Newton's law of universal gravitation on earth and at interplanetary distances". I'm assuming you're switching your argument over to "Gravity is an entropic force" from "Gravity doesn't exist" now?

You're going to actually have to present your argument in your own words, and not just link to some NYTimes article that is 80% biography and 20% pseudoscience, if you want anyone to take this seriously.

even if your sandwich was denser than air it would still be attracted to earth if it was in say, space
it would fall straight down if you're spinning at the exact or almost exact speed of earth or fall at the speed you're currently at if you just let go of it in space
