You seem to get your jollies having people come in and seriously debate your rubbish...
Your 'arguments' are childish, but you delight in all of the attention.
Is this some sort of High School creative writing project???
How many of your 'buddies' are crowded around the computer monitor right now, having a laugh as you eat Cheetohs and drink beer???????

I'm telling everyone the truth, not insulting you.
Your avatar says it all.......
The Mods have spoken as well. Hence, "FARCE"!

1) It has been proven that acceleration produces g-forces.
2) We experience 1g on the surface of the Earth
3) Gravity is a fictitious force (as I have explained in detail previously)
4) G.R. dictates that a stationary surface in an inertial frame of reference in a downward motion is equivalent to a surface accelerating upwards in the absence of gravity.
5) Free-fall is defined as being 0g inertial motion. Relative to a non-inertial observer, there is no acceleration.
6) "Outer Space" is the same "space" as the "space" inside our atmosphere, only one is closer to the surface of a planet and contains more molecules.
7) As long as something is accelerating toward you, you will accelerate toward it: every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

"Ignoring the topic"??!??
Your farce IS the topic!!
Nothing you have stated is based on any science, not in any way, shape or form. Your convoluted attempts to 'twist' established science into the funhouse fantasy that you wish to argue are really lacking in any logic, Mr. "magician".
But, I'll admit, your explanation for how airplanes 'fly' was truly priceless! Just think, my 30+ years of aviation experience had it all wrong!

Flat earth?
And NASA never put sattelite's in orbit?
I know we all hate NASA and all but . . . .
I can see the god damn Sattelite's in my home telescope.
You my friend need to sit down, have a break, maybe a coffee on the way, and just listen to yourself.
The earth is flat.
And i can fly.

"IF" the earth was flat, how would you explain day and night on different parts of the "flat" earth?.

I've seen many misconceptions from people who say the Earth is actually somehow a round ball in space. It is beyond absurd and preposterous. So, to try and clarify it for them, I've made a quick diagram showing just exactly how the Earth is flat and why it appears to be round from space. The reason that the earth appears round from higher up is because gravity bends light, so the father you get away from the light, you become aware of just how powerful an influence gravity and refraction have on it. It's not that the Earth is actually curved, it's just that the light is curving away from your eyes. The first picture here merely looks like a round object, but it is obviously fake because it only shows part of the landmass - an obvious hint that there is a conspiracy cover up.

Yeah sure, it's easy to say "it's not this, it's not that" without actually saying what it is or why it isn't.
Each of your posts should be labeled FARCE!

Same for your airplane. You can live in denial if you want, it doesn't bother me!

Sorry about that.
Seriously though, you expect me to believe that the Earth is flat? So, when you are in an aeroplane above 35,000, do you not see something that resembles a 'curviture' on the horizon? What are we then, a flat disc with every satelite (including commercial) projecting images of a 'circular' world - is there a point to this opinion / conspiracy?
Just trying to answer this makes me feel like the town fool.
Magician, yes, you'd have to be: Logician - no.
Good thread though.
Huh hum, Brei.
