Concave Earth Theory

For when Flat Earth Theory isn't quite crazy enough.

Atmospheric electricity increases with height, this is evidence for concave earth theory

Electricity and magnetism are intricately intertwined...

It is well established that magnets can generate electricity.

'So, if you glue a magnet onto an axle, and turn the axle, you create a spinning magnetic field. Place a length of wire around the spinning magnet, and an electric current (moving electrons) will occur in the wire. This is called induction.'

Like any field, the strength of the electric field diminishes with distance.

Unlike what you would expect in a convex model, the electric potential increases as height increases.

'In 'fine weather', the potential, aka 'voltage', increases with altitude at about 30 volts per foot (100 V/m), when climbing against the gradient of the electric field.'

This shows that the center of gravity/electromagnetism is in the sky, not below our feet.

If the magnet were below our feet, we would expect the electric field to become weaker as we climb higher...
