ROFLMAO....

Sorry but that post just made my night. I just laughed so hard i almost fell out of my chair.

Are we really that bad?

Actually just cause it has the name lead weight doesnt mean it doesnt have that shape.

As long as it is lead and it has weight it can have any shape you desire.

exactly what i meant. if you argue what the term weight means it can be anything.

 

[Luke]

^exactly my point that a lead weight does not have to have a flotation device to float depending on it's shape.

Lead ore is just decayed uranium - that is what makes it so dense. I would like to see lukes lead bowl theory about a lead bowl tried out as it is possible / plausible but I would like to see it tried in fresh water as the salinity of salt water would aid in it's boyance.

Would it be possible to create a lead shape so thin and wide that it would float in mid air, because although it's densitiy is still more, the amount of air it displaces is vast in comparison. That would be awesome.

The Bible was written by man. By defination Man is falble. Meaning Man can make mistakes. Not to mention the Bible has been translated from its original text.
So who is to say that it has been translated correctly? I mean there are some words in other languages that do not have a English translation. So how can we sit here and be 110% sure that every word in the bible was taken from its original text correctly? There is no way we can say it has.

Agreed, but the part about the earth not being flat and Pluto not being a planet is blasphemy !

Why wouldn't a lead bowl float? :/

 

[Apokalipse]

Why wouldn't a lead bowl float? :/

because Lead is heavy
If it were thin enough, perhaps it could float.
But how thin can lead be before it's not strong enough to hold itself together?

 

[Kharn]

A lead bowl can float, the term i have been trying to remember is displacement. Think about it somthing like the HMS ark royal weighs much more than the water it displaces but it is held afloat by the air it has in the void. Or atleast thats the way I was taught it it's been a while since i last tried to understand fluid dynamics / an fluid related phyisics.
