B Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution under the influence of a gravitational field

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on finding a simple video that illustrates the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution in a gravitational field to explain pressure gradients. The original poster expresses frustration with trying to convince a flat Earth proponent of these concepts. Respondents highlight the challenge of communicating scientific ideas to those with opposing views. Despite the skepticism, there is a request for resources that effectively demonstrate the Boltzmann distribution in a gravity well. The conversation underscores the difficulty of engaging with individuals who hold firmly to alternative beliefs.

Could anyone suggest a simple video showing the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution under the influence of a gravitational field?
I trying to show a flat earther idiot how pressure gradients arise in a simple manner.

Thank you all.

Wasting your time.
The other guy will always have a "Yeah, but... "
 
I think you are probably correct. What a sad state of affairs! None the less do you know of any video which would be simple enough to just basically show Boltzmann distribution in gravity well?

Plotted is the Irradiance over Wavelength. Please check for logarithmic scaling. As you can see, there are 4 curves. Blue AM 0 as measured yellow Planck for 5777 K green Planck for, 5777 K after free space expansion red Planck for 1.000.000 K To me the idea of a gamma-Ray-source on earth, below the magnetic field, which protects life on earth from solar radiation, in an intensity, which is way way way outer hand, makes no sense to me. If they really get these high temperatures realized in...
