@aliali-xx9ru - What you (and all other flat Earth believers) fail to understand is that a vacuum, from our point of view, is an absence of air! Most people know our atmosphere gets thinner with altitude, i.e. there's less air as we climb. I'm sure you know that too, hence I'm sure you are also aware of the difficulty in breathing for mountain climbers or anyone at high altitudes. But lets go even higher... At 10 miles up, there is 10 TIMES less air compared to sea level. That's a low vacuum, where your saliva will boil at that altitude, and at 12 miles up your blood will start to boil! You can easily recreate those same conditions with any vacuum chamber! At 20 miles up, there is 100 times less air compared to sea level, that's a medium vacuum. At 30 miles up, there is 1000 times less air, that's also a medium vacuum. At 50 miles up, there is a 1,000,000 times less air, that's a high vacuum. Low Earth orbit is an ultra high vacuum and so on. Therefore there isn't a sharp line where we suddenly go from our pressurized atmosphere to the vacuum of space, instead it is a gradual process, where with increasing altitude there's decreasing air, resulting in gradually increasing vacuum conditions as I've shown above (normal pressure -> low vacuum -> medium vacuum -> high vacuum -> ultra high vacuum and so on). The decreasing air pressure and hence the increasing vacuum conditions with altitude has been directly measured by instruments on balloons and on aircraft sent up to high altitudes, hence up to altitudes of whatever flat Earth theorists are willing to accept. So given the explanation of how we encounter increasing vacuum conditions with altitude as there's less and less air, you should now understand how we go from the pressure of our atmosphere here on the surface of the Earth to the vacuum of space without a barrier in between.

@aliali-xx9ru - You're grabbing at straws with complete nonsense my friend. Let me remind you that flat Earth theorists claim the sun and moon circle the Earth 3000 miles up and that the dome is claimed to be ABOVE the sun and the moon. So point out where the timing of the reflection you speak of is consistent with a dome that is higher than the sun and moon! So again, explain the measured and confirmed increasing vacuum conditions with altitude and hence the fact that pressure continues to decline (and vacuum conditions increase) until and beyond reaching the official altitude of space.

The fact that you parrot without thinking "rotating 1000 mph" when rotation is measured in revolutions per time period really says it all :-) So tell me, if a basketball player span the ball on his finger and asked you how fast you think it's spinning, would you say something like "Hmmm, about 10 revs per second?" or would you say instead "Er, about 12 mph?". If you would estimate it revolutions per second, then why do you blindly parrot the flat Earth claim about the speed of the surface? The Earth rotates at a rate of 1 revolution per day, the speed of the surface is irrelevant, especially since out atmosphere rotates WITH the Earth. After all, people flew inside Concorde at around 1300 mph and yet they didn't feel the speed. Just as today, we don't feel the speed of around 550 mph when inside a cruising passenger plane.

@InLakech_AlaKin - In other words you effectively admit to parroting flat Earth claims without thinking. So thanks for that :-) I can present proof of the Earth being a globe that even YOU can check for yourself. Can you do the same for a flat Earth? But first, which version of a flat Earth do you believe in please? Because there are a number of versions out there and yet none of you seem to be able to make up your minds. For example; - Does your flat Earth have a firmament dome? If yes, then exactly how high is it? If no, then why do some claim there's a dome enclosing the Earth? - Does your flat Earth end at the wall of ice? If no, then how far does the land go beyond the wall? If yes, then why do some say it continues beyond the wall? - Are you one of the minority who believes your flat Earth rests upon pillars? If yes, then how many pillars are there and where are they positioned? - Is the sun and moon in your flat Earth shaped like discs or balls? - How far away is the sun and the moon in your flat Earth? - Can you provide an accurate flat map of your flat Earth? A map where all the countries are the correct shapes and the correct sizes and where all the distances are correct as they are on the actual globe of the Earth? Just to make sure we're on the same flat page ;-)

@aliali-xx9ru - And is the pressure of the water in your glass the same everywhere in the water, or it is significantly different from top to bottom? So if air pressure is caused by air being enclosed by a dome with no gravity, then shouldn't the air pressure be the same everywhere, like compressed air in a can?

@aliali-xx9ru - That's nice, but care to address the points I made? :-)

Wait a moment.... are you an Electric Universe believer? :-)

@theELUSIV - Hehehe, you're 100% right. I've been replying to so many threads that I got confused, hence I'll delete that reply. My humble apologies :-)
