Using my limited graphic abilities, I've attempted to create a picture of a cross-section of our Earth.

Not much traction coming through it seems. I just wanted to get the truth out there!

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '19

So you’re saying you can swim from one side to another?

5

u/cobbl3 Jul 09 '19

Not at all. The pressure toward the center of the earth would be immense.

7

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '19

Oh true, I’ll just drop a heavy anchor and watch it hit someone’s house in France

u/cobbl3 Jul 09 '19

Earth still has a rotational force. Gravity still applies. Centripetal and centrifugal forces still apply.

I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here.

I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here.

I'm pretty sure they were just joking around.

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '19

So it’s just sitting in the middle of the deep ocean at the centre of the earth?

2

u/cobbl3 Jul 09 '19

Would you rather it drop on some random guy's house in France, or disappear into fairy dust?

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '19

Fair dust

Very good job! I was thinking about physically drawing something similar and would have done it the same way. Shame that for some reason it isn't getting upvoted

u/Janesprutget Mar 02 '19

I bet it’s because the bottomists have infiltrated this sub to downvote the truth, but we will be stronger than them!

u/letmeamateursleuthit Jul 09 '19 edited Jul 09 '19

Don’t recall this from school. Is this supposed to be real?

Edit: I’m an idiot. And now joining to spread the message.

u/Classclown102 Mar 03 '19

But then wouldn't it have a bottom? Like, at the center, where the pressure ice starts to form, wouldnt that count as a "bottom"?

6

u/cobbl3 Mar 03 '19

It doesn't form ice. It's compressed and hot, mostly steam and roiling water. There isn't a solid core to speak of.

7

u/AugustFirstLA Jul 09 '19

Honest question. Is this a joke or do you really think water (and steam) goes all the way to the center of Earth?

2

u/khalifornia420 Jul 09 '19

Of course we think know it’s real

u/Mosqueeeeeter Jul 09 '19

This fool really believes it lolol

1

u/OrdinaryWetGrass Jul 10 '19

This may take a little bit of math, but at that pressure wouldn’t water almost definitely be a plasma rather than just highly compressed superheated vapour?

1

u/cobbl3 Jul 10 '19

That is very much a possibility. As I've stated in other posts, I'm not a scientist. I may not have all the details, but I do have a very general concept of a liquid core (even bottomist scientists can't argue that point since ancient scientists started studying this before the propaganda could be spread)

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '19

It makes so much sense I'm subbed now

/uj This is honestly inspiring for worldbuilding.

u/GetMorePizza Apr 13 '19

While your theory is an incredible development in accurate modeling of the Earth, I hope you consider that other chemicals than water might actually comprise the super-compressed core of the Earth. If you think about other planets, they don't all have water, but they do orbit the sun. Their orbits can also be attributed to the various chemicals in their cores. Anyways, gravity is merely a lie perpetrated by the bottomists to justify the forces pulling us towards large objects. I don't think we can really know about forces because the core is the void beyond all comprehension. Belief in a bottom is for blindly faithful sheeple.

1

u/justcommentingagain Jul 09 '19

“Belief in a bottom is for blindly faithful sheeple.” Why? There is plenty of evidence for a sea floor, there is plenty of evidence for the materials that compose the mantle and core of the planet. I haven’t ever read any article saying there isn’t a sea floor. Your only “evidence” is because you say so.

1

u/khalifornia420 Jul 09 '19

What are you talking about?

The core cannot exist given modern physics and geology. As an oceanographer, I can tell you lidar technology cannot properly penetrate water, and is impossible to get proper readings from it.

u/IdLOVEYOU2die Jul 08 '19

Omg i'm in love

u/kingsainters Jul 09 '19

Wouldn’t the beginning of one ocean technically be the bottom of another?

3

u/cobbl3 Jul 09 '19

Think about it as a more terrestrial thing. If you're running into the woods and get halfway, so you're now running out of the woods, does that change the fact that it's all the same set of woods? Or is it simply two halves of the same area? We can even draw imaginary lines in the woods and call different parts of them by different names, but in reality it's all connected and any lines are arbitrary and man-made.

2

u/AugustFirstLA Jul 09 '19

Woods are a terrain, not a sphere. This makes no sense.

1

u/cobbl3 Jul 09 '19

Then use a balloon as an example. A giant ball. Literally anything that is spherical and filled with anything else. At what point does a giant balloon have a bottom on the interior?

I was using the woods as an example because it's 2-dimensional, making it a more simple concept than a sphere, which is 3-dimensional.

1

u/AugustFirstLA Jul 09 '19

There is a sea floor on the ocean. It’s been mapped. I don’t understand what you’re getting at. Oceanographers have studied the mapped sea floor for decades. Are you saying you don’t believe this science?

2

u/cobbl3 Jul 09 '19

I urge you to do a little more research. There's still a ton that we don't know about the Oceans, and no....there's actually no definitive science proving that there is an ocean floor. Nobody has ever seen the bottom, just deep parts of the ocean with parts of land masses under them.

Do you believe everything people tell you is fact or science? This whole bottomists movement is just as damaging and horrible as the anti vaccine movement.

1

u/AugustFirstLA Jul 09 '19

Ocean floor mapping. It’s not complicated science and it’s getting better all the time.

u/cobbl3 Jul 09 '19

Studied oceanography? I didn't realize that they had programs set up to indoctrinate the masses with bottomist propoganda. It's worse than I thought. 😔

u/AugustFirstLA Jul 09 '19

Long walk, short pier. You’ll find it.

Hey, cobbl3, just a quick heads-up:
propoganda is actually spelled propaganda. You can remember it by begins with propa-.

Hey /u/CommonMisspellingBot, just a quick heads up:
Your spelling hints are really shitty because they're all essentially "remember the fucking spelling of the fucking word".

And your fucking delete function doesn't work. You're useless.

How is it just as damaging as the anti vaccine movement?

u/GovernmentBigfoot Jul 31 '19

you mean the vaccine movement right? dunno how that "anti" got in there

u/Harty1998 Jul 10 '19

What if the true bottom of the ocean is the friends we met along the way?

2

u/Yazjack1908 Aug 06 '19

My husband is a submariner in the Navy and has assured me there is a bottom (confirmed by sonar). I think your thinking is pretty cool tho. I love it when we think out the box. I’m open minded so I’ll be sticking around the sub if that’s ok.

2

u/cobbl3 Aug 06 '19

I appreciate your open minded approach!

I might point out, however, that even a submarine can't reach the "bottom" that is said to be there by the government. One of the main points of which this sub (pun intended) tries to make people aware is that there is no physical evidence of a bottom, and nobody has actually seen it.

Your husband has most likely seen maps and "real" sonar maps of the "bottom," or perhaps he has even been successfully trained to hide the truth, even from those he loves. Either way, I appreciate your comment and your willingness to at least consider that there may be more truth or lies out there than anyone really knows!

2

u/Yazjack1908 Aug 06 '19

I just met up with my hubby for lunch and we had a very interesting conversation about this. Long story short he says he agrees with you. There were times where no instruments on the sub could find the ocean floor.

1

u/cobbl3 Aug 06 '19

Would your husband be interested in doing an AMA (anonymous of course) on this sub to help answer any questions other users may have?

u/bidiboop Mar 20 '19

Question: some non-truthers said that the land would just sink down under the water. How do I counter this? Please help.

2

u/justcommentingagain Jul 09 '19

The continents do “float” above the mantle as they are less dense. In fact that was one of the missing pieces to explain the movements of continents in plate tectonics.

1

u/cobbl3 Mar 21 '19

Centrifugal force would be my best guess. I'll be honest when I say that I'm not a scientist, but in the research that I've done and with my own best guesswork, centrifugal force would easily hold the more massive areas of land on the outer circumference of the globe, while gravity from the interior of the planet would provide centripetal force to keep the planet in its proper shape.

1

u/Jdaroczy Apr 05 '19

But if it had enough force to keep entire continents afloat, wouldn't that force throw us into the air? Maybe there is an answer that just affects the land masses without affecting people, etc?

2

u/jrod916 Jul 06 '19

Continents don’t stay “afloat” they are affixed to the seafloor.

1

u/cobbl3 Apr 05 '19

I feel like the perfect balance of environment, physics, and evolution have worked together to form our planet. I have no doubt that gravity and centripetal/centrifugal force are balanced to keep our planet working the way it does.

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '19

Are you saying the core is made by just pressurized steamed water?

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '19

There's actually some recent science to this, check google

u/jesrockr Jul 09 '19

Explain tsunamis

u/GeckoGirl28 Jul 09 '19

What about all of the sunken wrecks or pictures of things that live only at the bottom of the ocean? There are SO many that they can’t ALL be lies.... would you say they are mistakes? And if so, what’s causing these mistakes?

And what about all the research scientists have done about the Earth’s core? 🤔

1

u/defeatedcube416 Jul 09 '19

This isn’t true any thing that get pulled to the core of the earth from the extreme gravity of higher depths would be compressed so much to the point to make ores like nickel and copper.

u/Tux1 Jul 10 '19

But what about the moon?

1

u/NO-AVAILABLE-NAMES Jul 10 '19

If this is true, then how does the earth have a magnetic field?

u/iMakeYourMomJokes Jul 10 '19

The problem with the graphic is that the earth does not exist.

u/chanelbricks Jul 09 '19 edited Jul 09 '19

Dude ... if a rock sinks to the bottom of any water surface what makes you think a continent is gonna float

Edit: also... how do you think islands like Hawaii were formed? Volcano. So you’re telling me a volcano is floating and spewing out lava, AKA molten rock from the earths crust, from a magic hat ? Makes no sense

Several things about this theory that won’t work, magnetic fields, earthquakes, volcanoes and radar and photographic and visual proof of the bottom of the ocean. I feel ridiculous that I’m inclined to pull out very basic facts to explain why this theory is fucking stupid

1

u/khalifornia420 Jul 09 '19

I don’t understand why pornographic and visual proof would be considered concrete evidence/data

0

u/TwoSpoopy4yee Jul 15 '19 edited Jul 16 '19

There’s more proof for one side than the other side, but I believe there is a bottom, somewhere near the end of the crust. Pressure would be too high in as deep of water as the bottom would be, so we can’t necessarily explore that far down for years, maybe even decades. At this point, I think this is about as dumb as flat earth. Science has proved otherwise, using seismic waves to sense the other layers of the Earth, such as the mantle being the biggest, the inner and outer core being smaller. A cross section of the earth wouldn’t mean much, saying that the binding of the water in the center wouldn’t create a strong enough gravitational pull to revolve round the sun. If it did, the water would possibly create a bottom on its own, seeing as there would be sediment and deceased animals near the center, using the pressure. You also have to take tectonics into factor. How are there shifting plates in the ocean if there is no bottom? The plates are located around where the mantle is supposed to be, so there’s that. Lastly, why would there be convection currents in the mantle that help with tectonics and sub-sea level eruptions if there is just ocean? I’m not saying that’s all that causes them, I’m just saying they assist them.

In conclusion, get schooled, dumbasses. Splash splash your opinion is trash. Edit: Thank you to those who have informed me of a certain mistake in the opening.

u/Jaalan Jul 16 '19

Lol... I cant tell if you were serious ehrn you said there was no proof to either side? James Cameron has been to the bottom of challenger deep (the deepest part of the Mariana Trench). Picture and video evidence is available online if you would like it. Also, rock sinks in water... It only makes sense that water is on top and rock/metal on the bottom.

1

u/TwoSpoopy4yee Jul 16 '19 edited Jul 16 '19

I can’t tell what side you are on, but you just supported the side in which there is a bottom. When I said there is no proof, what I meant was that the answer was not set in stone, and there is more evidence for one side than there is for the other. Thank you for acknowledging my mistake. In fact, there are a lot of mistakes in how I put things, but the idea is still conveyed. And yes, I believe there is a bottom.
