I seriously just died when I read this explanation.... I had to be revived. water doesn't stick to a ball.... At 1000+ miles per hour. Nice.
You had to be revived when someone mentioned water sticks to a ball at 1,000 mph? Sorry that happened to you.
Let me tell you a simple trick so that you are more prepared next time.
Take a plastic bottle of water, remove the cap, and turn it upside down. You'll notice two things right away.
1)
The water does not fly sideways at 1,000 MPH. The bottle, the water and the earth have the same
relative velocity. Need more proof? Start running, toss a ball in the air and you'll be able to catch it even though you threw the ball straight up.
2)
The water moves towards the center of mass until it encounters something. This is evidence of
gravity, and is how water will stick to a very large ball, a globe, a cube, a theoretical shape, or anything else with enough mass.
Hope this helps you in the future.
P.S. Nomind does not believe the earth is flat - he is just trolling.
