Trollface Science

Gravity would pull you out. The water stays there because sealing off the top and sucking the air out creates a pressure imbalance. 14 lbs/in^2 of force push the water up, and 9.8*waterMass push the water down, approximately.

Does someone know how to do that math? I sucked at fluid dynamics in Physics.

More importantly, the surface tension is what holds the liquid in the straw. It's narrow enough to allow that.

Alright hazzy here is another one

This is why none of what you learn is going to work:

I am VERY surprised people actually think that one talking about selling gold is clever. The diameter of the earth is virtually the same at ALL locations, and so the gravitational pull upon the gold is also virtually the same. If the earth were a cone or something rather than a sphere, then yeah it could work.

....That's right, I'm using logic in YOUR trollface thread, IllegallySane!!

Sup. If you don't mind, could you help clean up with the rest of us?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean there. :f6:

U JELLY??????

Who hasn't done that?

Buy in Himalayas, sell in Marianas Trench. Happy now?
Also, you're wrong.

Also, you're wrong.

That's actually an interesting point, Mad, I never even considered the rotation of the Earth's axis when I was thinking about gravitational pull; however I still don't think I'm wrong in saying that the idea would never work.

Just gonna point out that the diameter isn't the same since the earth isn't a perfect sphere.

Sure, it wouldn't work. But it has more to due with transportation and other costs than issues with gravity. I agree with you, but I disagree about why I agree with you.
