and allowed to float just outside earth's atmostphere...10 or so miles away, how would it move relative to the earth?

Also if such an object were equipped with some sort of burn resistant rope or fiber that dangled down through the atmosphere and would the rope remain stationary as seen from the earth's surface?

earth rotates on its axis and goes around the sun in an orbit right? so we are on a ball spinning around and around and around.....




couldnt people just jump in the air while the earth is rotating below them and then some down because of gravity???
and then land in a different spot??????????

If black holes are scientifically proven, then would there be some sort of opposite force of energy- like a white hole which pushes matter out rather than caving it in?

I have been saying for years that our "Local Spatial Field" is actually warped due to a nebula event that created our "Local Compression Bubble" that has been detected in our sector of the Galaxy. This infers that the space field is folded and stars that we "perceive" at certain distances are in reality merely "perceived distance" and not the "actual distance", which I propose is a "variable distance" going from greatest apogee to lesser apogee. My concern is that our Solar System may be on a collision course with another star system, and this has totally eluded the entire scientific community. I conjecture this is why the ecosystem and climate of the Earth is heating up, due to an approaching extra-solar star system that will penetrate through our Solar System, precipitating an extinction level event and wiping away all traces of our global technoculture and catapulting the post-catastrophic survivors back to a state of Neobarbarism reactivating the slow process of recivilization.

when your lying on the beach or something and you look at the sand and think wow this came from the ocean beating against rocks, to make this soft earth and everyone is gathered to relax on the beach on this humongous ball basically that is floating in space with a bunch of other planets and is being warmed by a star! It amazes me, and im only 15, have you ever had anything like this?
