It proves there's no convex curvature.What is your water level experiment, and what does it prove?
Water level is there for all to observe. It's not hidden and is always repeatable.
It comes down to so called orbits and so called gravity.What exactly was your bell-jar/pump experiment and what were the results?
You see we are made to believe the opposite of what we actually see with our own eyes and understand.
We can see people on a fairground rotating set of swings all push outwards as they rotate. Break a chain and they go flying off away from the ride.
We are told objects can reach a speed around a spinning ball and they would not fly off into s called space because this magical gravity acts like the swing chain and supposedly pulls it back, creating an orbit.
The thing is, the thing that pushes those swings out is all down to atmosphere, just like it is on the rota (anyone remember this?) where it spins and people are pushed to the wall which naturally acts as a barrier to stop them being flung into the crowds outside of it.
But a global storyline offers up a spinning globe that can have objects flying around it at speeds on thousands or miles per hours around it whilst having a mysterious force stopping that object from flying off into s called space.
A bell jar and pump, plus a simple motor with an attached lid and a plastic bead will show the space orbit to be nonsense.
You've drawn a convex diagram and added in uniform water around it and are calling it legitimate.And just in case you need a visual aid and further explanation of this...
Logon or register to see this image
At the top of this drawing, the black outline represents a convex container full of blue liquid.
Below that container, the dotted lines indicate the distance from the bottom of the container to the centre of gravity (in our case, this is the centre of the planet Earth because this is our net centre of gravity.)
The labels r1, r2 and r3 represent the distances from the bottom of the container to the red dot.
The red dot represents the point of the net centre of gravity.
What you have said is that the liquid will never conform to a convex container such as the one in my drawing.
What I am saying is that it all depends on the values of r1, r2 and r3. If r2 is less than or equal to r1 and r3, then the water will conform to the container
When you try this experiment at home, it is easy to get r1 and r3 to be equal. You just find a flat surface and put the container down on it. You can use a spirit level to find a properly flat surface.
The problem is r2, which is effectively the measurement that determines exactly how deep the curve of the container is.
If r2 is equal to r1 (and also therefore equal to r3 as we know r1 and r3 are the same on this flat surface we've measured) then the liquid will perfectly conform to the container. The depth of the liquid will be exactly the same everywhere in the container (assuming it is a liquid with zeroYou must be logged on to see external links, otherwise there would be a tiny variation at the very edge where it meets the container).
If r2 is less than r1, the liquid will be deeper in the middle than at the edges.
If r2 is greater than r1, the liquid will be deeper at the edges than in the middle.
It is clear from your posts about this scenario that whenever you personally have visualised this experiment, you have always used a container that has an r2 significantly greater than r1, and so in your version of the experiment the liquid will obviously always be deeper at the edges than in the centre or spill out of the edges of the container.
.
This is why your version of this experiment is flawed and leads you to an incorrect conclusion that has helped to paint your incorrect view of the possible shape of the Earth. You've started with a mistake so it's no surprise your final conclusion that uses this as evidence is erroneous.
Go and try it on anything you want to in real time and see if you get to see what you posted in your diagram.
Simple reality shows facts in this case and yours is based on nothing.
