| '''restricted_list''' is a United States-based flerf who posts on {{wp|Threads (social network)|Threads}}. He regularly argues with [[globers]] on the platform, and seems to rely excessively on {{wp|chatbot|AI}} to refute their arguments, and a result, he talks with an AI-generated tone quite often. If it wasn't for his sheer persistence in spreading flat Earth bullshit, there would be no reason to doubt him being a [[Poe]]. | | <span style="font-size:200%>Everything you wrote has been moved to the [[Talk:Restricted|discussion page]].

| ==Arguments and tactics== | | ==Context for other readers== |
| He has pushed truly some of the dumbest flat-earth arguments on the planet.
| | This page is currently in a state of perpetual vandalism by the flerf whom this page is about. Most of the page was a debunking of his "gravity-free" calculator. He's now saying the calculator has been updated. |
|
| |
|
| He posts out-of-context memes as "evidence", then refuses to provide sources.
| | In lieu of page protection, the only way to prevent vandalism will be to leave this page vandalised. |
|
| |
|
| He maintains that gravity is unfalsifiable because "you can't remove gravity from mass" and "you can't shield gravity".
| | His alt accounts include: |
| | | * Jupitor1407 (blocked) |
| He thinks being able to see faces in photos of Earth means they're fake (because NASA is intentionally hiding faces for people to find).
| | * Mercury797998 (blocked) |
| | | * Oscarpaw (active) |
| He consistently demonstrates all three [[laws of flerf]] to an exceptional standard.

| =="Gravity-free" calculator==
| |
| | |
| Recently, restricted_list has claimed to have developed a fully functioning calculator for predicting rates of fall without using gravity.
| |
| | |
| Of course, his "gravity-free" calculator uses gravity; {{wp|Gravity of Earth|g}} has just been substituted out for the atmosphere's pressure gradient, which is calculated using g because it relies on gravity existing. Whatever AI he asked to make the calculator likely interpreted his prompt as "a calculator that does not ''directly'' use g or {{wp|gravitational constant|G}}".

| | |
| ===Equations used in the calculator===
| |
| The calculator outputs two acceleration values; one [[density and buoyancy|due to "density/pressure"]] and one due to "electrostatics". The two accelerations are then added together to get the net acceleration.
| |
| | |
| ===="Density/pressure acceleration"====
| |
| This equation is actually all that is needed to fully account for 9.8 m/s<sup>2</sup>, but this is because its mathematically identical to gravity plus buoyancy. (Note that in its current configuration, the calculator is outputting ~9.5 m/s<sup>2</sup> due to its use of incorrect values for ''medium density'' and ''pressure gradient''. restricted_list seems perfectly happy with this error though, despite having asserted gravity was falsified after Newton's law was {{wp|Newton's law of universal gravitation#Observations conflicting with Newton's formula|off by 43 arcseconds per century}}).
| |
| | |
| The equation is
| |
| | |
| : <math>a= \left ( \frac{1}{\rho_{\mathrm{fluid}}} - \frac{1}{\rho_{\mathrm{object}}} \right ) \times \frac{dP}{dz}</math>
| |
| | |
| Where
| |
| * <math>\frac{dP}{dz}</math> is the atmosphere's pressure gradient. | |
| | |
| | |
| <math>\frac{dP}{dz}</math> of a fluid is calculated using gravitational field strength, g, in the {{wp|hydrostatic equilibrium}} formula:
| |
| | |
| : <math>\frac{dP}{dz} = -\rho g</math>
| |
| | |
| An attentive observer will note that this is the same as restricted_list's formula but without <math>1/\rho_{\mathrm{object}}</math>. This is because his formula is not explaining where the acceleration comes from, its using the fact that a downward acceleration is already acting on the fluid to cause a pressure gradient. As <math>\rho_{\mathrm{object}}</math> approaches infinity, the buoyant force approaches zero, causing the value of a to approach the value of g (because it approaches the hydrostatic equilibrium formula).
| |
| | |
| The <math>1/\rho_{\mathrm{object}}</math> is simply adding the effect of buoyancy, resulting in a slightly lower acceleration than g. In fact, his equation can be directly derived from the formulae for gravity and buoyancy:
| |
| | |
| {|class="wikitable"
| |
| |-
| |
| ! Gravity !! Buoyancy !! Net force
| |
| |-
| |
| | <math>F_g=-mg</math> || <math>F_B=V \rho_{\mathrm{fluid}} g</math> || <math>F = F_g + F_B</math>
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| : <math>a_B = \frac{V \rho_{\mathrm{fluid}} g}{m} = \frac{V \rho_{\mathrm{fluid}} g}{V \rho_{\mathrm{object}}} = \frac{\rho_{\mathrm{fluid}} g}{\rho_{\mathrm{object}}}</math>
| |
| | |
| | |
| : <math>a = a_B + a_g = \frac{\rho_{\mathrm{fluid}} g}{\rho_{\mathrm{object}}}-g</math>
| |
| | |
| | |
| : <math>a = g \left (\frac{\rho_{\mathrm{fluid}}}{\rho_{\mathrm{object}}}-1 \right)</math>
| |
| | |
| | |
| : <math>a = -\frac{1}{\rho_{\mathrm{fluid}}} \frac{dP}{dz} \left (\frac{\rho_{\mathrm{fluid}}}{\rho_{\mathrm{object}}}-1 \right)</math>
| |
| | |
| This simplifies to restrictedd_list's equation. In the last step, g is substituted using the hydrostatic equilibrium formula (shown earlier).
| |
| | |
| ===="Electrostatic acceleration"====
| |
| This relies on object polarisability and a non-uniform electric field. The Earth's atmosphere does indeed have a non-uniform electric field (starting at around 100 V/m then decreasing with height), but ∇ E is nowhere near great enough to noticeably accelerate a macroscopic object.
| |
| | |
| ==Use of AI==
| |
| He has convinced chatbots like Gemini to agree with him on his flat Earth talking points. ''Because real research involves listening to AI's opinions, especially when AI's opinions are designed to be aligned with your own.''

Message for Flawrock (or whatever account you create next)
Everything you wrote has been moved to the discussion page. I have not deleted any of it, so please, stop page blanking.
I will leave your wiki page blank whilst we discuss your new calculator on the discussion page in good faith.
If you keep vandalising, you are avoiding good-faith discussion entirely.
