And, I am still waiting for an explanation on how the downward force of gravity can manifest an impervious 'hard-lock' grasp on anything enough to move it sideways against all other forces in existence as if they did not exist at all.
Despite the proclivity of most/some people to believe that 'gravity' holds everything in a structured spatial pattern relative to the earth,
Ball Earth model physics itself does not support the idea.
According to Ball Earth model physics, the force of gravity
only pulls objects (in the context of this discussion)
toward the [center of the] earth. It
cannot apply a force of
any kind to an object other than to pull it
toward the [center of the] earth. It
cannot move an object in
any direction other than
toward the [center of the] earth.
According to Ball Earth model physics, an object leaving the ground has a certain amount of momentum -
in a particular direction. It is a
limited amount of momentum - it is not infinite-amount-of-energy-and-force 'forever' momentum. And, to whatever degree that the motion of the object changes direction, the initial momentum -
in the initial/original direction - is lost (in terms of driving the object
in the initial/orginal direction). Whatever has caused it to change direction has 'overcome' the initial momentum -
in the initial/original direction.
According to Ball Earth model physics, the momentum of the object comes from the movement of the object (mass x velocity) -
not the force of gravity!
The force of gravity has
nothing whatsoever to do with the
momentum of the object.
It
can be said that the turning of the surface of the earth -
in contact with the object - "imparts" to it a certain velocity - which is "retained" at the moment the object is no longer in contact with the earth. However, at/after that moment, no other 'earthbound' force is acting upon it. Whatever momentum it has when it "leaves" the earth (amount
and direction) - that is it.
Whatever momentum it has will 'drive' the object in the initial/orginal direction; however, if another force overcomes it (driving it in a different direction), the momentum
in the initial/original direction is 'lost'.
The force of gravity
cannot do
anything but pull the object
toward the [center of the] earth.
No other 'earthbound' force is acting upon it for as long as it is not in contact with the earth.
There is
no 'earthbound' force -
of any kind - acting upon it
in a horizontal/'sideways' direction.
And, gravity can only pull it 'downward'.
According to Ball Earth model physics, the only possibility of an off-ground object 'following' (staying with) the rotation of the earth - "at best" - is
until the initial/original momentum is 'lost'/'changed'/'converted'/etc.
If a airplane takes off - makes a circle (as they often do) - and heads for its destination - the momentum from the 1000 MPH (classic example) velocity
in the initial/original direction is 'lost'/'changed'/'converted'/etc.
In such a case - in the Ball Earth model - the earth should "spin away from" the airplane after it took off - because, there is no force acting upon the airplane that would drive it in the same direction as the rotation of the earth.
The momentum of an object is an aggregate vector. There is no such thing as the momentum of an object in one direction (i.e. - an airplane) "riding on top of" a separate momentum in a different direction (i.e. - from the rotation of the earth).
