that experiment has been talked to death as held up as some ultimate truth but its simply a misunderstanding
so "gravity" is just the molecular density of one object compared to that of the medium it exists in
a no air environment is still a medium, not a void

Yes, actually, contrary to popular knowledge, space is not a perfect vacuum
The matter between the stars and galaxies could be gas in ionic, atomic, and molecular form, as well as dust and cosmic rays.
And the medium is even assigned a name and is called the Interstellar Medium (ISM).
But still, a perfect man-made vacuum has never been obtained and the most nearly perfect vacuum that exists, is in outer space where on an average it contains less than one molecule per cubic meter.
The interstellar medium is composed of multiple phases, distinguished by whether matter is ionic, atomic, or molecular, and the temperature and density of the matter. The interstellar medium is composed primarily by hydrogen followed by helium with trace amounts of carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen comparatively to hydrogen.
And all this matter exerts a pressure too. The pressure exerted by these gases is in equilibrium with each other...

Again, that dumb picture where you play six degrees of separation with words - alternating between Old and modern English and picking a ‘weak’ synonym that’s used for particular situations.
You should post pictures of flat Earth or of a working model instead.
behold a working model - see how water sticks to it - something you've never seen

Helium balloons cant bring you over 53 kilometers height. After that the air's density is too low.
Lol I remember that flat earth guy saying ISS was probably " a helium balloon" floating at .. 400 km :rofl:
Nasa claimed they were sending balloons to 1200 km in the 60s- look up project echo
how to be total are clueless on recent history/10
