Like, at least try. 3/10 ragebait. 1 point for a controversial topic and 2 for the amount of comments you got so quickly

It's still a lousy ragebait topic

Feel free to sit and think about the sticks and shadows experiment. You can pick it apart pretty easily.

Yeah, the sun hit multiple sticks at different angles at the same time of the day, add together the length ot the shadows and guess what?

It mirrors that of a sphere. A sphere. The earth. Is a sphere

Ur brain is flat-True

There's no proof that they even have a brain though.

This is from an AI cause I'm too lazy to write them all, if you don't believe the info here try search it yourself

AI:

Ah, you're talking about the **vacuum chamber free-fall experiment**, famously demonstrated by Galileo and later confirmed with modern physics! It’s a simple but powerful way to illustrate that **gravity affects all objects equally, regardless of mass**, as predicted by Einstein's General Relativity.

### **How It Works**

If you drop a **feather** and an **apple** in normal air, the apple falls much faster because air resistance slows the feather down. But in a vacuum (where there’s no air), both objects fall at **exactly the same rate** and hit the ground at the same time.

This happens because:

- Gravity accelerates all objects equally.

- Air resistance is the only reason lighter objects seem to fall slower in normal conditions.

- Removing air shows that the feather and apple are **both subject to the same space-time curvature** under gravity.

### **Does It Help Explain Why Earth Isn’t Flat?**

Yes! This experiment supports **Einstein’s equivalence principle**, which says all objects fall the same way in a gravitational field. If Earth were flat, its gravity wouldn't behave uniformly—different parts would have wildly different gravitational effects. But since everything falls the same way worldwide, it confirms that Earth has a **consistent, spherical** gravitational pull.

### **Can You Try It at Home?**

A true vacuum chamber requires specialized equipment, but you can simulate the effect with:

1. **Dropping objects in a low-air environment**, such as using a container with reduced air pressure.

2. **Watching videos of real vacuum chamber experiments**, such as NASA’s famous feather-and-hammer test on the Moon, where both fell at the same time due to the Moon’s lack of atmosphere.

It’s a fantastic way to bring relativity into real-world observations. Want to explore more experiments that reveal the nature of gravity?

I'm retarded, that's true. But you have not and can not prove the earth is a sphere. Two ancients with sticks didn't prove anything either - if that even happened. You believe a thing you were told in schools, that everyone was told in school. Nobody bothers to verify it. Why would you? It's in all the movies and everyone just knows it's true so...I know. But it's all a lie to hide the real Truth.

Bold of you assuming I take everything I learned in school blindly. Btw have you even read the prove based on feather and apple drop in vacuum room that I asked an AI to explain? I'm bad at explaining my thoughts so the AI probably explain it better

please dont tell me this is serious ^^

Avatar of c124875

Btw I don't remember you use any prove that can be proven or at least scientific and based on a research

Avatar of c124875

Btw earth is not a perfect sphere. Its shape is an oblate spheroid

Religious claims are valid.

Don't this means you're the one who trust anything you heard blindly? I won't discuss religion here but what I wanna say in this message is you're what you think about people

Btw flat earthers have prove that earth is round when they tried to prove it's flat.
