In this article series, we delve into reasons why our planet of residence Earth is flat. In this episode, we will deal with water and gas components of the earth and how they are a contributing factor to the argument.
So, as early as five years old, we begin to study the solar system in school. Our schools are built to also engage us in the discourse of the planetary system. That is alright as far as education goes.
Let us recall the properties of gas and liquid matter:
The diffusion of gases from a point of higher concentration to a lower and how it needs a container in the first place;
The fluidity of liquid matter which can be transferred (osmosis), retained and requires a container and yet always find its level within one;
In defining the properties of both gas and liquid, we have a common denominator which is, a container. As such, without one these two matter cannot be sustained. As practical as it gets, we can apply this scientific fact to every work, domestic, etc, field we find ourselves in, and it would still prove to be true. This is what science truly is.
When we consider the sea, we see how true science is in saying that water always find its level. In industrial tools like the leveler, we see the same property. And remember that this feature is consistent of water irrespective of its volume. Put a few drop of water in a tiny bottle cap and in no time, the water spreads out and fill the space within. It will be no different when we apply this method in a big basin.
Gas, on the other hand, cannot be in a closed container or else it will lose its concentration and eventually be lost completely by diffusion. An example is a can of spray, a bottle of perfume. Gas can only be pressurized in a container.
In conclusion, it would be an incorrect assumption to make, that the natural properties of matter does not apply in practical terms. Don't forget that true science does not argue away facts, but weighs them out before approving or disapproving them.
