if gravity is pulling things to the earth and Gravity is because the weight of the Earth - how is it that dropping something in a cup of water can resist this great force that is everywhere but so easily overcome? Even a tiny fly can resist this great force, you can see it when you look at birds in flight in slow mo - there is no constant force on them pulling them down as you mistaking believe an apple falling to earth makes you believe, they are simply overcoming the vibrational density of the volume they exist in.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok2T_dT5YJ0i don't think you understood my question, TBH i don't know how to ask it.
So, we have a phoenomena, when you drop an apple it falls to the earth.
This is true both in a gravitational model and the model you're proposing.
So why specifically would an apple in a gravitational model not float? I assume that's the point you're trying to make, that if gravity were real it would act on water and apples differently than what the phenomena produces. What im asking is specifically why would that happen?
More specifically water is a liquid, that is in a container. Without a container it would fall to the lowest possible point. So If i drop an apple in water its bound to the container, which gives the water form. In this sense the water takes up a certain space. In this way it is no different than a solid object sitting on top of another solid object in the sense that density matters with respect to which item can and cannot pass through another. This is the reason I don't understand your hypothetical as a critique of gravity, but try and answer the above more simple questions.

Another trick because of the concave windows in passenger seats, try the view in cockpits - oh thats right - they created a reason to lock the door and possibly armed guard it. You must obey.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc_9uFQ9Ss4Am i understanding you to suggest 9-11 was staged so that they could armed guard cockpits to protect the secret of the flat earth?
I think i just got a boner from 911 conspiracies and flat earth conspiracies having 0 degrees of separation.

Or trying to make a point about the general underdetermination of scientific theory.
TBH i've always thought this was the real motivation. to be fair to CS he's not a strict believer in much, as compared to malice or qodesh who are deep into their beliefs.
