Things have changed since then:
Well it is an invented fantasy you stick by and evidence against it is so easy to find. I'm not sure what else I'd call it. I think you're talking about your spinning globe in a space vacuum an d all the absolute gunk that goes with that.

He now has experimental evidence to prove what he first thought. So all we need is details of those experiments and the results, then we can all get on board with the idea.
In many ways the idea is sound. For example if you get a bowl full of water and blow down on it, you will see an indentation on the surface of the water and naturally the edges will rise a very small amount to compensate. While a blowing blast straight down at the water would cause a number of local issues of wind hitting shipping and planes flying over, it doesn't need to be that strong. If you increased pressure a very small amount over a very large area it would have a similar effect. The effect on each individual molecule of water would be tiny, but the cumulative effect of something as big as the world's oceans then it starts to become significant. In this respect it is no different to the effect of gravity in the standard model of reality. That is a very small gravitational force over a hell of a lot of water.
The question is, is the pressure change something we can find evidence for or perform an experiment to measure.
@Nukehasslefan claims he has this, so once he shares we can all take a serious look at this proposal.
So Nuke, what are your experiments?
