Until they can show light curving in only one direction through an atmosphere their perspective arguments are dead in the water

Why cant a train go up hill?

I fail to understand this "logic"


I never said a train can't go uphill.....but using logic, why would it be a bad idea if a train (some weighing over 5,000 tonnes) was rolling down a decline with failed breaks?
On a level surface, a train has the ability to come to a complete stop.

Conventional freight trains in the US can average nearly 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) long.



On a globe earth, it would be impossible for a freight train to freely stop if part of the train is being pulled down over the curvature (because on a sphere is always moving down and away from you right?)
It would be POSSIBLE for a freight train to stop freely on a flat earth though...

Since gravity pulls towards the center of Earth's mass, none of what you just said makes sense. This has been explained to you before; you just refuse to understand it.

So yeah, this argument of yours was already debunked before you posted it.

but gravity can't be proven, it is still just a theory, albeit a weak one.
density and buoyancy is real and proven though.......how does density and buoyancy play out in the situation above?
