Gravity
Imagine you have a balloon filled with helium. Now imagine it cannot pop.
If the balloon rises throughout the atmosphere, against gravity, would it then travel into space?
The gasses of the least density rise to the uppermost parts of the atmosphere.
Why does the gas rise to a point, then stop?
If gravity is holding the atmosphere to earths surface, why did the balloon rise? If gravity works then how could the balloon stay in the atmosphere the further it rises from the source of gravity?
Does gravity get weaker the further we travel from the surface?
Wouldn’t this allow the balloon to escape the atmosphere?
Wouldn’t the atmosphere escape entirely at this point?

Fe vs Globe court case
I heard about a court case that was fairly recent, within the last year or few, where a flat earther was involved in a court case and actually won. It may have had something to do with a bet. Does anyone know of this?
Cheers

Mach speeds over long distances.
To my knowledge the fastest travel we have reached is the Avangard missile which can travel at mach 27. I have had discussions with Chat GPT about what would happen to something if it was traveling at mach 27 and had to make a turn at 8” per mile squared. I was told it would destroy the traveling missile. Then when I frame it in terms of globe curvature correction it changes it answer.
Why would Chat change it's answer?
Is it possible for a missile traveling at mach 27 beginning at a max height of 100 km descending to its target over a globe with a range of 10,000 km to not be destroyed by "g-forces" of the arc of travel while traveling at that speed? Or is it only possible when such a missile travels at this speed on a flat and level plane?
