How do explain how your hair stands UP when you reach the peak of the vertical?
-
Its the moon sucking out your brains.
-
ahem...
-
How do explain how your hair stands UP when you reach the peak of the vertical?
Free fall.

yea but if the earth is accelerating upward , there is no way your hair could stand up
-
What the hell are you guys talking about?

What the hell are you guys talking about?
Ok lets see if i can put this together for the slow one...
if the earth is accelerating upward...How do explain how your hair stands UP when you reach the peak of the vertical(jump)?
-
Air resistance.
-
Hmm, we must have different internets because the post reads:

Air resistance.
exactly... when you are in the down fall of your jump, the air resistance catches your hair
-
Why ask the question if you already knew the answer?

Hmm, maybe you need some common sense and read the rest of the thread and get a clue
Why ask the question if you already knew the answer?
because i just disproved the theory that the earth accelerates upwards instead of having gravity
-
ohh why stop? run out of excuses?
-

Uhh, no, you didn't.

Uhh, no, you didn't.
Uhh, yea, I did.
-
Uhh, yea, I did.
Not in the slightest. :roll:

Ok then disprove me
-
Your hair up due to air resistance, which you already said you knew.
-

how would resistance come about when all your technically is moving up
-
Due to the earth accelerating all that is in contact with it.
-
Explain why it happens in a vacuum.
-
Does it?
-
Yeah.
Honestly though, it has nothing to do with gravity. It's just a change in inertia.
-

But your buddy tom says the earth 'falls' up to you instead of you coming down
and there would be no change in inertia if there is no down motion
-
Yeah.

Oh right, I forgot.
I guess the earth really is round.
They almost had me there for a second.
Alllllmost!
:wink:
I'm gonna have to keep an eye on you guys.
-
It's just a change in inertia.
No it isn't. Your hair would fall at the same rate as the rest of you in a vacuum.

There is another thread about this EXACT topic I answered just yesterday. But why am I surprised? Geoguy is right, kids!
-
Only one?
-

No it isn't. Your hair would fall at the same rate as the rest of you in a vacuum.
Yeah but they wouldn't start falling at the same time.
Inertia is determined by mass.
-
Yes they would.

yea i know..i copied and pasted this exact question that I asked in said topic, but i wanted to see what bill thought
-
Yes they would.
If you say so, captain.

Since you people don't understand:
Gravity and acceleration are locally indistinguishable. There is no experiment or observation that can differentiate between the two locally. There is no observed effect, due to gravity, about a pendulum, airplane wing, rock or hair on someone's head, that cannot be explained by acceleration.
For more information, see Einstein's Equivalence Principle.

Except that gravity on earth is detectable as radiating from a spherical point.
Did I forget to mention, gravity is detectable. They use the process to find underground oil caverns.

Einstein believed in a round earth, why are you listening to him?
-

What is being radiated?
-
Negative pressure.
Individual gravitons would only be detectable by particles smaller than gravitons, which may be impossible as gravitons could very well be the smallest particles in existence. So claiming gravity doesn't exist because we can't see them is bullshit.

This is a gravity map of an underground crater.
The darker parts are looser sediments from after the crater was gouged out.

Free fall.
you don't know wtf you're talking about. The earth is accelrating upward at 9.8mph. Therefore there would be no freefall.

Acceleration warps space-time in such a way that it creates a uniform gravitational field around the object accelerating
For more information see http://xxx.lanl.gov/ftp/physics/papers/0204/0204044.pdf
However one of the main tenants of general relativity is the Principle of Equivalence: A uniform gravitational field is equivalent to a uniformly accelerating frame of reference. This implies that one can create a uniform gravitational field simply by changing one’s frame of reference from an inertial frame of reference to an accelerating frame, which is a rather difficult idea to accept.
