Wait, so if I put a rock in a jar and then suck all the air out to create a vacuum, the rock will become weightless and just float?


as long as the stone is in a vacuumed jar - there no reason it shouldn't float - that's basically how all steel boats float - having an airtight hull and not exceeding a certain weight - dont know the exact formula, but i know it's somewhere within reason

Supposedly even the ancient egyptians understood this and used huge cargo ships on the nile to transport goods but they dont really talk about this often.

Since you don't believe in gravity, all materials should float. How is that working out for ya?

Thats a pretty dumb assumption, kinda like I thought you were just acting pretty dumb too- but I was wrong on that assumption.

The formula is very simple - the weight of the boat must not exceed the weight of the water it displaces.

You might be interested in this video:


They drop two objects in a giant vacuum jar. You'll be shocked to find out that they both still fall. In fact, the heavy object falls at basically the same rate as it does in air. So there goes your theory, empirically demonstrated to be false.

the material or vacuum itself has nothing to do with why any object is able to float. any material at any size can float, the only thing that matters is the objects shape and weight distribution.

yet again u show how mind numbigly stupid u r :rofl:

The boat floats because it's less dense than water.
air 1.25kg/m3
Steel 7800kg/m3
Water 1000kg/m3

why card is a m3 of water 'heavier' than a m3 of say oil?

That's the dumbest thing i ever heard - that boats float because of their shape - lololollololollolollllooooolll

cant be dumber than any of ur previous posts, thats scientifically impossible even in the gravity-less universe u think u r living in.

trying to troll ur way out of it wont help :rolleyes: and i see u suffered a stroke or something towards the end of writing that 1 sentence... overloaded ur brain trying to think of what to write i guess.

face the facts, u r retarded by nature! :rofl:

Cuckspin thinks you can make stone float if you carve them into the shape of boats - I guess you learned science playing with your rubber ducky in the tub! :rofl:
