If you light a candle and invert it.. Fire still goes up, why is that?
I got my own explanation but lets hear what anyone has to say..
This is just more proof that the "theory" of gravity is a myth.
yeah, it's combusting and everything.
Fire is GOD! It can do ANYTHING!
My fire goes down.
But my gravity goes up.
Oh! I'm standing on my head.

For the same reason hot air balloons rise; relative density and displacement of mass. The answer Phoenix gave is accurate and more detailed.
What happens if you light a fire in Australia? where everything is upside down?
it turns counter-clockwise.

Why else do you think Kangaroos go hoppity-hop?
Fire goes "up" against gravity because if it went "down" it would put itself out.
Thanks, RM. Pardon my advanced physics.
Fire goes up because the chimney is above it.
Otherwise your house would be full of smoke and your floor all charred, silly.
There you go, more down home common sense physics.
FAT CHANCE! But I like your optimism.

We crack tinnies and down them, throw some meat on the fire, ogle shielas, swat flies and argue about sport - what else would you want to do?
How hard is it to juggle in Australia?
Stumble It!
