Wait, what

gravity is gay, our feet just pull on the earth

Wrong.

>> No.9418460

Gravity isn't real. Or at least, not in the way we understand it. The earth is accelerating upwards. We aren't falling down.

>>9418459
So you've discovered a way to travel through time?

that guy is just a retard nitpicking semantics who thinks it speed of light through a medium has relevance to this topic

>>9418440
there are multiple ways to interpret gravity, you can view light as bending around massive objects (maintaining its speed by the way) or moving locally straight through curved space-time, either way the physics stay completely consistent if you examine things formally

Why should we even believe reports on what life is like of earth? They keep on jerking us around.

>maintains velocity despite changing direction
This is literally the same thing as saying that the laws of motion aren't static and may not apply for a particle, and this absolutely breaks the math for the most basic equations. Physics is bullshit.

>>9418440
Fun fact: C does not equal the speed of light. The speed of light changes, but C does not.

The cracks of metaphysics are starting to grow.

Light cannot travel or have a speed, it is a constant.

Speed is constant, not velocity

>> No.9419477

>>9418440
Speed and velocity are two different things, nigga.
If the trajectory of an object bends, the velocity changes, but not the speed. Your two quoted statements do not contradict one another.

>> No.9419607

>>9418440

speed =/= velocity

this

the light isn't bent, it's space/time. The light is going in a straight line.
