I'm also a bit confused about the whole heavier things = lower concept.
What goes up, must come down. Heavier things come down first (Earth and Sea are the heaviest) and as you go up, the other, lighter things find their level. There's this picture I've seen, where someone filled a glass with an assortment of objects and liquids. The liquids (vegetable oil, water, dish soap, honey) all are perfectly separated and the objects (cherry tomato, bottle cap, bolt) find their own levels in the glass. It's cool.
How does that prove water is pushing UP at the bottom of the globe while the air sits underneath it. Unless your mind is so hopelessly globewashed you forgot that what goes up must come down.
GLOBEHEAD>No, because any place on a globe is the top! Therefore the water is always beneath you
FLATMAN>Oh wouldn't that mean that if two people travel to each other from 500 miles away, they're both going 250 miles downhill? What if two other people were meeting us from two different locations?! Wouldn't they also be going downhill!? Is the earth a giant hole? How can you have your globe AND live on it, too?
How does 'what goes up, must come down' stretch so far to "confirm" that the moon and the sun are millions of miles apart and are somehow the exact same size when viewed from the ground. THE EXACT SAME SIZE. Out of all the possibilities, and BY ACCIDENT?
If you believe the earth is a ball, you'll believe ANYTHING
