Hello good people!
If i liftoff from the Earth in a helicopter and continually ascend slowly, at that moment i have beat gravity(i realize it is still hanging on to me, however the rotorforce/upforce is greater than it), therefore gravity should no longer hold me to the ballearth(because it has no force over me, although it still hangs on). Now, this means that while gravity has no force over me, the Earth should eventually spin away from me. Thus if i ascend slowly for say 10 hours and then descend, i should land a different place. This does not happen and I am starting to become a flat earther lol. Do anyone have an explanation? I'm not too good at physics nor math so cartoons and stuff would be the preferred explanation :D If you too are stumped i want to know too. I like to be confused together with people
