I've had a few people ask me something along the lines of 'why are you giving them airtime' so I'd like to get on the front foot about that. The person whose video I show at the start has 11 million views and counting in 1 week alone. I checked to see if anyone at all had made a video responding to explain what was happening, and I saw nothing. So, I thought given how many people had seen it, one video out there explaining the phenomenon would do more good than harm.
It's about physics namely the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Gas cannot form a sphere shape inside of a vacuum. That's impossible in physics. That so called sphere shaped gas you call atmosphere cannot fail to expand into the available volume it MUST expand causing you Not to have stable prevarication on Earth to breathe. If Earth had an atmosphere (oxymoron as gas cannot form a sphere in a vacuum) that gas would leave Earth and you would die. Again, thanks to the real physics of the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Gravity has never been demonstrated to hold gas to Earth. Heavy gas may appear to pool for a short time but it will expand to fill the volume until equalization occurs. This all shows the heliocentric model is totally wrong. We Must have containment and not be in an open system. Earth Proven Flat, Globe Destroyed. Sorry fella but you believe a lie. If you think I'm wrong show me a physics demonstration of 1) gas forming a sphere in a a vacuum and 2) that gas failing to further expand into the available volume causing back pressurization. No one can do it in the 10 years we have been asking. You Cannot Fudge Physics.
Normally I'd leave it at that, but given how many views the original video got (11 million in a week and counting), I thought someone should actually explain what happened.

You're partly right, gas won't form a perfect sphere in a vacuum in the absence of any other forces (assuming it's not a spherical vacuum chamber I guess). And you're partly right in the sense that Earth is indeed losing atmosphere all the time. 95,000 metric tons of hydrogen and 1,600 metric tons of helium each year, to be specific. We don't lose more because of gravity. So I guess the question is, why would it be the case that gravity works for particles in a solid and a liquid but not a gas? I guess no one can replicate this because no one has access to enough gravity to attract the gas that heavily. That is, outside of a planetary body.
"We don't lose more because of gravity. " Several problems here. 1) who's gravity do you speak of out of the 5 known gravities? I bet you don't even know. I do however know that you allude to mass attracting mass. That was an invention of folks who sought to twist Newtons work in his own time. Not only did Newton never claim mass attracting mass, he staunchly Denied it! I give you Newtons letter to Richard Bentely: ""Tis unconceivable that inanimate brute matter should (without the mediation of something else which is not material) operate upon & affect other matter without mutual contact; as it must if gravitation in the sense of Epicurus be essential & inherent in it. And this is one reason why I desired you would not ascribe {innate} gravity to me. That gravity should be innate inherent & {essential} to matter so that one body may act upon another at a distance through a vacuum without the mediation of any thing else by & through which their action or force {may} be conveyed from one to another is to me so great an absurdity that I beleive no man who has in philosophical matters any competent faculty of thinking can ever fall into it. Gravity must be caused by an agent {acting} consta{ntl}y according to certain laws, but whether this agent be material or immaterial is a question I have left to the consideration of my readers." - (copied as is from The Newton Project) 2) The claim has Never been demonstrated nor could it be thanks to the 2nd law of thermodynamics. There are No laws of physics that govern gas behavior that suggest that claim of gravity is even possible because it 100% goes against the known behavior of gas. The Only thing known to stop the expansion of a gas is a solid barrier or to get the gas to zero Kelvin. According to Nasa, space doesn't even get that cold so if we were in an open system, that gas must continue to expand into the available volume. If that were in fact happening, we would not ever have a stable 14.7 psi at ground level. They made up numbers of escaping gas to prop up the fairy tale model and you fell for it. You sir are no scientist, just a young fella with a youtube channel. Evidence of that --> "why would it be the case that gravity works for particles in a solid and a liquid but not a gas?" Are you kidding me? You who claim to be a scientist do not even know the Basics. You Really need to Learn What a Gas even IS because you Don't know. You need to learn The Laws of Thermodynamics (Kahn Academy is a good source) and The Behavior of Gas. (Chem Libre Text is a good source) Gasses are tiny individual particles of physical matter that unlike solids and liquids are Not intermolecularly bonded! This means you can't pour gas on a scale and weigh it unless it is in a container. That gas will not press on the scale. It will in keeping with the laws of thermodynamics and entropic law expand in all directions to fill the available volume until equalization occurs. If you contain all the gas you can put that on the scale and will get a reading but it's really not an overall weight of the gas because much of the gas is floating inside the middle of the balloon not pressing on the part of the scale that's taking the reading. You are measuring an amount of pressure rather than actual weight except for the weight of the container itself because it is heavier than the medium it is in. For solids and liquids that are intermolecularly bonded you are able to increase the density by using larger amounts and all of the weight will be accounted for. The down pressing is not due to any gravity but simply because those materials are heavier than the medium of air they are in. This is what Archimedes taught us over 2000 years ago and he's still validated via the scientific method today where as Newton or Einstein's gravity fail the scientific method.
What do you think-was this explosion a setback for SpaceX, or just part of the journey to perfect Starship? Let’s discuss it!
Ooof! Thanks for posting!
My pleasure!

"No" the end

Good video! ✨👍 You’re very welcome using my content
Thank you!
