The Air We Breathe Proves Earth Cannot Be Spinning in Empty Space
Natural Laws Govern Our World
It stands in logical reason that the Earth is not spinning at 1,000 mph in a space void, despite whatever NASA says.
Did you know the speed of sound moves at 760 mph? This means the Earth would be spinning faster than the speed of sound. Yet, you nor I (nor anyone) perceives any such motion.
But we do experience the joy of a 15 mph cool breeze on a hot day and the terror of a 50 mph rattling wind on a stormy night.
Not only that, but the Earth is said to be whirling around the Sun at 66,000 mph and dragged along the Milky Way at half a million miles per hour. Plus, the entire galactic experience is rushing at an unfathomable one million miles per hour.
My head is spinning just thinking about it. Fortunately, my feet are firmly planted on stationary ground.
Does any of that make sense?
To find clarity in truth takes curiosity on how this world worlds and the courage to look. As parents it is even more formidable that we persevere through the misconceptions to better raise our children to be sovereign thinkers.
Fortunately, it doesn’t take much. Just a bit of understanding of Natural Law and a little common sense.
Natural Laws Governs Air Pressure
The air we breathe is a mix of gases and water vapor. The air we breathe is also pressurized and pressurized air cannot exist adjacent to a void.
Gas needs a container to have pressure and nature relegates that high pressure must move to low pressure filling up all available space until equilibrium is reached. This is the universal law of the property of air.
In the globe model, air would be sucked into empty space per Natural Law. The gas we breathe would escape our world as quickly as carbonation leaves a cracked soda can.
But it doesn’t. The air we breathe is reliably with us at just the right pressure.
Important Note: I find it important to refrain from using the term ‘atmosphere’ when referring to the air we breathe. The term atmosphere elicits the imagery of a gaseous layer around a spherical earth. The generic term ‘air’ is used to reference the gaseous layer we breathe.
Watch ‘Science Max’
In the first 30-minutes of this episode of Science Max host Phil McCordic explains the properties of the different states of matter - solids, liquids, and gases. Then takes a deep dive into the properties of air, including how gas molecules take the shape of their container and quickly exit that container if not stopped by a physical barrier.
Science Max might be designed for young learners but I promise it will be just as entertaining and educational for people of all ages. The beginning of this episode provides a refresh on the natural sciences that govern our world which will enhance your own understanding. The more you learn, the better you are at explaining to the friends, family, and kids that come along in your life how things actually work on our stationary Earth.
Learn Together
As your child’s mind grasps the logical concepts presented in this episode of Science Max help him or her place this knowledge into the larger context of our stationary, non-rotating, level Earth.
They will come to their own logical conclusion that a physical barrier is what contains the air of our realm. This is not an absurdity to a child but a logic conclusion based on direct observation of the Natural Law that governs the properties of air.
Sincerely,
