And this, of course, is completely just for fun.. The Flat Earth Society is a web board I stumbled upon some time ago. Needless to say, it amazes me what people will believe in the twenty-first century.
Under the section header Flat Earth Questions & Clarification, a Curious Guy (bl4ke360) posts the question: "Why do you all think gravity doesn't exist? Is it because it's invisible? Do you know another force that is invisible? The wind. Does anybody think the wind doesn't exist because you can't see it? Don't think so, but you can see its affect (sic) on things, like you can see gravity's affect (sic) on things."
Robosteve (a supporter of Flat Earth Society) responds: "We say that gravity doesn't exist because we accept Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity as valid."
Curious Guy (bl4ke360): "The last time I checked, Einstein believed in gravity. I'm pretty sure he knew what he was talking about more than you think you know what you're talking about."
Robosteve: "Please read the Gravity sticky."
Curious Guy (bl4ke360.. who turns out to be more intelligent than curious) responds: "Please read:" ->
Robosteve (Trying to sound a little smarter now): "Have you read the Gravity sticky yet? On FES, we make a technical distinction between the terms "gravity" and "gravitation" that is not always adhered to in colloquial language, or even normal scientific practice."
Johannes Kepler (Who quickly rallies to Robosteve's and Flat Earth Society's defense by admitting they've never read anything scientific) joins in: "You haven't read that yourself, why should we? Clearly we understand the subject."
DorkDestroyer (Rallies to support Einstein's theory on General Relativity in relation to Gravity, by challenging the Flat Earth Society defenders ..): "Feel free to provide a quote from GR which says gravity doesn't exist."
John Davis sums it all up and the topic is concluded with: "One of the main points of his (Einstein's) work is that gravity is a fictitious force. Its (sic) the cornerstone to much of the text you link. If you read and understood that, this would be obvious."
And there you have it. Gravity is all in your imagination, folks.
Boggles the mind, doesn't it?
