How do people on the other side of the world keep from falling off? Do they walk upside down?

Answer 1

They just don't know better. Don't tell them, or they'll realize their problem and go flying off into space.

Answer 2

Contrary to what secular scientists were teaching people at the time, the earth is not flat, and the devout catholic, Christopher Columbus, set sail to prove that the christian scientists were correct, in that the earth was not flat, but round. (See Chris' own writings.) So, how do people keep from falling off? Well, no one knows, actually, however there are several theories about a thing called gravity, which have been used over the years, like Newtonian Gravity, which said a magical force pulled objects toward eachother, and heavier masses (like earth) did more pulling, but then there was another theory given by a man named Albert Einstein, who said Newton was wrong, and there is actually a fabric of spacetime that gets bent by the masses sitting within it. The heavier the object, the more it bends spacetime around it, and so smaller masses (people) are sort of stuck floating in the vicinity of the larger mass. However, a new theory, called quantum theory, has been emerging, and now scientists have rejected all previous theories, and attest to quantum theory as a better explanation for gravity. But, I'm optimistic. I think it will not end with quantum theory, and yet another new theory will emerge someday, as well, and quantum theory will join the other theories in the garbage can. My point - no one knows why people don't fall off the earth. (Hence some of the goofy answers you're receiving) And if they say they do, they're full of sheeet.

Answer 3

I think your joking. But space and time is relative. Relative to them you are on the other side of the world so how do you keep from walking upside down. Gravity is the answer, for everyone. Whats gravity? Influx of matter/mass on
space-time which creates a curvature on space-time itself.

Answer 4

If you visit the Science & Mathematics section, they will happily explain Newton's Laws of Gravity to you.

Essentially, the Earth's gravity keeps us on the ground, and the fact that we are traveling at the same rotational speed as the planet keeps us from flying off the surface.

Answer 5

no they do not fall off. Have you not heard of GRAVITY??

I can swear, and affirm, that you do not fall off if you live on the other side of the world.

I spent 30 years Down Under. I now live in Canada, and I never FELL OFF the planet.

Answer 6

How do you know that you are on the "top" of the world? What if your country is actually on the bottom? How do you keep from falling off? Maybe you should invest in some suction boots right away!!!

Answer 7

You are the one walking upside down.

Answer 8

Oh they fall off all the time. They just get back on when it rolls around again.

Answer 9

Hi,
Yip gravity holds them on the world,,if we didnt have it we would all fall off
