If that is so , then I still do not feel the answers given this far have given a satisfactory explanation !

Why...?

A centrifuge force is stronger than the weaker force of gravity !

The centrifugal force of the Earth's rotation is significantly weaker than Earth's gravity. Please refer to reply #5 for the math that supports this.

Why ?  Because the answers given do not seem to fit in with the physics given .

Yet it is enough centrifuge force to deform the Earths spherical shape !

You may have specific math to back science claims but the magnitude of force that would be needed to reform the earths shape is much more than you are suggesting exists .

Yes, but only because it spins very fast.

A centrifuge that only spun at one revolution per day wouldn't achieve much.

1 revolution per 24 hrs that is spinning very fast , ~1000mph !

It is fast compared to the speed of an automobile.
Members have given you all the information you need to know why the oceans don't fly off into space.  Stop fighting it and absorb the information!

Adequate answers have been provided but the OP prefers to believe myths and pseudo religious beliefs instead of science. That section has been moved, this is locked
