If you stand in a room with a match or candle you can breath just fine and you will not burn. assume an infinite candle and your life is infinite as long as you have oxygen, and you are in a closed room. what gives up first? oxygen is consumed, to be perfectly punctilious, transformed. It gets to be unusable. Yanno, in zero gravity there is no oxygen, no air as we know it, in the real world, so the atmosphere that is present in zero gravity invalidates the entire test, (a little FYI) if you hold your hand directly above the flame, why does your hand burn? could it be that the hot air produced by the flame is rising, and the colder air 'runs' in underneath and oxygenates the flame? (so you dont like suck......or suction, how about: admits air? it aspires or draws it, this would indicate that coordinated air movement is necessary: http://www.chimneydoctors.com/solving-drafting-problems-for-fireplaces/ ) although I blast a MOAB 10 feet above your head you are going to feel some heinous air rush.... so, scalar is scalar....that test worked. yanno - gravity is a measure of force, not of atmosphere. and did you know that the International Space Station actually orbits inside earth's atmosphere? It is just that the air is so thin, so very cold, and comprised predominantly of O1 and N1 (while we normally breath O2 and N2) that we just simply consider it an vacuum. Of course, scientifically it isn't. So these tests which occurred in the International Space Station occurred inside an atmosphere at zero gravity. Making the test entirely valid and completely debunking your claim in it's entirety. And while you sit here and try and shimmy your way around the word 'suck' - from a scientific perspective - Suction is a atmospheric difference in pressure. The lower pressure inside a cavity, causes the higher pressure from outside the cavity to rush in, producing 'suction'. Because the heated air is following the rules of Buoyancy and not because of pressure differences, it is not 'sucking' and further invalidates your statement.
