Does the gravity that keeps us on the surface a force that pushes us down rather than pulls us down?
The Earth is surrounded by the entire mass of the external Universe.
The combined mass of all this matter, within the Universe, might well exert a "pushing" effect.

But the mass of the Earth might "push back" a bit against the Universal inward push.
Which would account for why the Earth remains stable. Instead of being instantly crushed into a Black Hole.

If that was the case, then objects with more mass would push back more, thus resulting in the opposite of what we actually observe.Quote from: charles1948 on 01/02/2021 21:39:33Which would account for why the Earth remains stable.

See - I knew somebody would appeal to "Quantum Physics" to explain the inexplicable!

Subatomic particles exhibit a degeneracy pressure that pushes back against external pressure. It's a decidedly quantum phenomenon.
Which means, it doesn't make sense.
But just believe in it!
You mean, you have statistical "meter readings".
Which prove the existence of the "Higg's Boson".
I regret your use of the word "denialism". Doesn't it sound ideological, not scientific
"Denialism" doesn't sound scientific.

Like believing in the Higg's Boson.
