OK smarty pants, then you tell me. What is the burning of the rocket fuel pushing against to move the space shuttle.
Either this is a joke, or "serious" discussion between a bunch of guys stoned, or you are infants or retards.
What are you talking about? A rocket burns fuel in space in a chamber, this produces pressure, the hot/pressurized gas shoots out the cone. The
force is transmitted through the pressurized gas from the cone, so that is where the rocket gets its acceleration from.
To create pressure, don't you need some sort of atmosphere.
Forgive me if I'm wrong. LOL
No, you don't need an atmosphere to create pressure. Think of it like this, if your feeble mind can do so: Imagine a box. Completely sealed and made
of glass, the box would be brittle if you applied some sort of a force on it correct? It being glass and all. Now, imagine again, if you can do so,
that you can pump large amounts of, say, water or air into the box from the outside into the box, thus creating pressure inside it until the box
shatters, releasing the pent up water/air. The pressure is caused by the molecules of said air/water pushing against each other inside of the box,
until there is no more room for them, and they cause a massive failure of the glass box itself. Pressure is not derived from air and air alone, it
could be caused by anything pushing on itself. Take for instance, you push on your arm with your index finger, this causes pressure on your arm
because the molecules are repelling each other, and they aren't actually touching, opposite magnetic polarities keep them from coming in contact with
each other. You have heard of the "Atom Bomb" correct? That is what happens when atoms hit each other, they explode so to speak, causing other atoms
to then create a chain reaction of explosions until you get the desired effect, i.e. masses of dead people, or huge holes in the ground.
Now please, take your senseless banter elsewhere and leave us alone, the community has spoken and answered your question and you refuse to accept the
answer, no matter how true it may be.
And by the way, before you begin pointing fingers and saying that I don't believe in God because I also believe in science, you are sadly mistaken.
Heaven is not a physical place that we can see/touch, it is a state of being which only our souls can reach, in my opinion. The same applies to Hell.
The so called "heavens" HAVE been reached sir/ma'am, we HAVE been to the moon, and nothing you say can change those facts.
