{quote} It really seems as if some of you people have never left your parents’ basements and your main insight of the world comes from the sketchier places on the internet... The railroad tracks are not made of single long straight pieces of metal. If they would/could be, they would bend in hot weather and break in cold weather. They are made of pieces of track that are cca 20 meters long. Adding many such pieces together easily accommodates for the curvature of the Earth over large distances you are referring to. k
Your comment assumes youthful folly.. I can assure you I ain't wet behind the ears. The most recent significant railway building in the last 50 -100 years or so in UK is the Borders railway. Track laid using single lengths of rail in the region of 100m long. I don't know the setting out details for that project so can't make any further comments on that. However I have several times transferred Ordnance Bench Marks distances of around 3 km without accounting for curvature, using simple differential levelling. Many will say ah yes but level is the curve due to gravity, I say for something to be level it has to be straight, something straight can't be curved.

I'm of the opinion those "physicists" are pissing away too much of the taxpayers money and are nothing but an illusion themselves. That illusion being the importance they give themselves when they supply zero value to real life.
Mark ... Everything you have been told is a LIE

How do we know that?
Bc we saw it on the TV. The same TV that told us abt Saddams WMD's.

You have to be trolling? lol

Yes the stuff from Iraq was horse shit but if you look up on a clear night at the right time of the month....(with binoculars you may even see the ISS or commercial passenger planes pass in front of this illusion).

Why don't you look at the moon through a telescope? You will even be able to see the rock formations.

Are you a hologram? Are we? Tell you what, when you next cross the road, step out right in front of a "hologram."

I think you should progress onto Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Explain the bending of space time and how that relates to gravitational forces.

At least you accept the principle that the TV lies to us.
Thats a start, keep it up.
Think a few others in here need to expand their horizons/consciousness beyond the goggle box too.

So over the distance I mentioned it's about 27 inches. If you are transferring levels to construct anything. 27" is very noticeable.

That's why I am not going there. I leave that to a proper Physicist to convince you lot. I can't even convince you why you piss downwards. Or maybe it's sideways.

Ok, let me turn it around. You tell me, why is there gravity? How does it come about?

{quote} I leave that to a proper Physicist to convince you lot.
If somebody does not accept the argument that if the Earth were flat, there would be no horizon (the objects in the distance would just become smaller and not vanish below the horizon) it is a waste of time to discuss anything more advanced.
