--- Quote from: Rally on November 05, 2017, 11:18:13 PM ---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.

It makes sense to me. If your sandwhich was comprised of something like helium then it would float. I guess "gravity" only applies to certain sandwiches.

--- Quote from: Rally on November 05, 2017, 11:18:13 PM ---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?

It is very much theory, and no
--- Quote from: Rally on November 05, 2017, 11:18:13 PM ---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
--- End quote ---
So your telling me that you would believe my words over a perfectly legit scientific article I just linked you to? Your suggestion does not sound like it would work very well

So Goth if the earth isn't really round then have we actually gone to space or is that a hoax?
HellHound:
helium isn't a solid though. density is relevant for fluids interacting, not a solid and a fluid like air. balloons with helium are lofted because the lower density of helium creates a pressure difference at the top and bottom of the balloon that pushes it upwards. if you actually knew a thing about physics or gas laws, this "discussion" wouldn't be happening.
