    OMG...you actually are being serious aren't you.

    I will happily "Stop Bothering" you......I already feel a bit guilty.

    UGH!!!

    Do you have any idea how many things I would have to explain to you???

    How is it POSSIBLE that you were never educated in such matters???

    The Coriolis effect ONLY has to be taken into account when a sniper is shooting at a target beyond 1400 yards away and even then the effect is minor but when inches count it must be taken into account.

    Gravity on Earth overcomes CENTRIPETAL.....NOT CENTRIFUGAL....but CENTRIPETAL FORCE because everything on the Earth's surface is already moving at the velocity of the Earth's rotation and if you are near the poles CENTRIPETAL FORCE is a non-issue.

    Nice try, but that is ignorant. If the sun can tug on the earth, that means it is pulling it towards itself. There is no other explanation here. What is stopping it from getting closer to the sun? What about the planets that are much further than earth from the sun. How is it keeping them in rotation and equal distances all the time. They say mercury is only 48 million miles from earth, that means it is only 42 million miles from the sun, if the gravitational force on the earth is as strong as it is at 90 million miles. Than the gravitational force on Mercury should be that of double, seems how it is about half way, should it not?

    You could have just said that you would have expected there to be 1,040 mph winds - right? After all, if you think a hovering helicopter would be carried over the earth's surface at a rapid rate you must believe there are huge winds..

    Do you really think you just discovered something with this post of yours?

    Maybe you should turn your post into some questions that could be answered for you.

    There comes a time when putting forth the effort to educate becomes pointless........I have reached that point.

    Dark Matter attracts, Dark Energy Repels. I think its repulsion rather than attraction that is driving the universe apart.

    OOOPS!!!

    My mistake!!!

    I did of course mean Dark Energy.

    My bad.

    No sweat. There are probably a handful of people that enjoy discussing this stuff, I'm appreciate your response.

    Again, you should turn this into questions.

    Somehow, you missed high school physics. And, I know that was probably not your fault, as we just don't seem to have the funds and the guts to require people to take science classes.

    Earth would travel in a straight line in the absence of other massive objects - it's orbit is caused by the constant pull of gravity. The mutual attraction of the sun and earth cause earth's path to bend. We stay in our orbit because of the balance between the force of gravity and our speed.

    Do you know the hammer throw in track and field? The speed of the ball and the force on the chain have to be in balance.

    Other planets orbit at different distances, because they are traveling at different speeds and are of different sizes - so the only possibly place for them to orbit the sun is where they are right now, where there is a balance of forces involved.

    I KNOW I should not throw this fact into the mix as it will probably confuse him to no end BUT....in Reality...Gravity is not a Force.

    It is Space-Time Dimensionality altered by body's of mass.

    lol! Yes.

    I just figured it would be best to stick with Newton and ignore velocity and momentum. Given the state of education today, physics can be an unfair topic.

    Fortunately NASA's Gravity Probe A and B have definitively proven that Gravity is not a force but Space-Time warping.

    Right after you tell me why no one can see Europe from a tall building on the US east coast with nothing but ocean, the lowest point on earth, between them.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I have never heard there is no gravity in space. At least from reputable people.

    There is not a camera with enough zoom to do so.

    Actually I had a kid while I was a kid, she was born before I turned 17. Therefore at the age of 16 I dropped out to get a job. So yes I have no high school education. However there is a difference between education and indoctrination.

    Fast forward to 45 seconds, and you will see what you are trying to defend.

    The entire post is questioning the current heliocentric model. How is not a question or questioning?

    LOL. You don't need a camera. A telescope and your own brain will suffice. The brain is to process and store what the eyes see.
    Which is water and then sky, because Europe is below the horizon because the earth is curved.

    The galaxy is moving at 1.3 million mph. The sun travels at 483,000 mph. Earth travels around the sun at 67,000 mph. And the earth rotates at 1,040 mph. Earth is 4.54 billion years old. How then have the stars stayed the same all through man's history? Think of the math one would have to do, to figure out how far the galaxy has traveled in 4.54 billions years at 1.3 million mph? Or figure how far the galaxy has traveled just in the time of man. And yet the stars stay in the same position the entire time? I am not the most educated person (admittedly), but I do not think one would have to be, to see this is nothing but nonsense. NASA budget for 2016 is 18.5 billion dollars to produce cartoon images. I think it's time we keep that money in our pockets.

    Extra-solar planet PHOTOGRAPHED in 2010-


    A planet outside of our solar system, said to be the first ever directly photographed by telescopes on Earth, has been officially confirmed to be orbiting a sun-like star, according to follow-up observations.

    The alien planet is eight times the mass of Jupiter and orbits at an unusually great distance from its host star — more than 300 times farther from the star than our Earth is from the sun.

    Astronomers first discovered the planet in 2008 using visible light observations from telescopes on Earth, making it the first direct photo of an extrasolar world. But at the time there was still the remote chance that it only looked like it was orbiting the star, from the perspective of Earth, due to a lucky alignment of object, star and observer.

    jrr777 will now say "Who are you going to trust.....a book written by sheepherders 2000 years ago...or your lying eyes?!?!?!!?" :)

    Correct, that is the theory of gravity. It cannot be proven or demonstrated. Dropping something does not prove gravity. However it does show pressure and buoyancy.

    So now your imagining things. If one has to imagine to understand the current heliocentric model, than they are imaging. And it is said that space does have gravity. And any object moving upon another, will have friction.
