Probably not.More likely that chips 'n' vinegar has simply managed to learn to block out inconvenient or distressing evidence. I doubt it's even concious,which is unsurprising.
It's also a true Christian who could not possibly say anything unkind,therefore he didn't.
When dealing with such fools,best not to ascribe to malice that which can be explained by ignorance and incompetence.

Ok Phil, I apologize for not seeing your balloon example. However, this example is based on the assumption nothing is compressing it. If something were, it would indeed be more curved.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
-4th verse of the american national anthem

Could be a force or a multitude of things. We have barely touched on physics as we have discovered quantum mechanics. We aren't even close to explaining such things.

I laugh so hard at chip even trying to understand quantum physics 
Yeah R I really hope he's a troll.

I'm wondering why he even invoked quantum anything, or even a "force". It's the waters above the firmament Chip. Just go with it, there is a vast undiscovered ocean surrounding the entire cosmos. If not, why not?
