Wow Solace.... suddenly your not so loud now are you?
"Q: "Why does gravity vary with altitude?"
A: The moon and stars have a slight gravitational pull."
Ouch. Guess I don't need to be loud to be right, Do I?
Your reading skills impress me. No, really, they do.
The real answer is due to the graitational constant equation.
Fgravity=GMaMb/r^2.
Gravity on MT Everest is less because the radius is bigger. Thats why you weigh less not because the stars which are 1000's of lightyears away.
FE model doesnt have "Gravity". Which makes that formula sort of pointless.May be good to note the Model your arguing against has the stars alot, alot closer then 1000's of lightyears. theres probably a thread detailing that better elsewhere.
WHAT? A CONTRADICTION?
FE-ers don't believe in gravity... ERR in your FAQ gravity is mentioned several times.... ESPECIALLY when the stars gravitational pull makes you lighter if you are "higher" up...
Next line in the FAQ, you supposedly read, which, Chaos quoted. =D
My arguement with you was simply your answer was in the FAQ. You said it wasn't. I Proved you wrong. You tried to dodge the fact it's in there. I proved you wrong again. Yes, in the FE model, supposedly earth doesnt have gravity. Some acceleration.
*shrug*
WRONG AS USUAL SOLACE
you said that FE-ers don't believe in gravity, full stop. WHICH IS WRONG. Yes you were wrong. I did read in the FAQ the FE-ers theory about the earth accelerating upwards, maybe you didn't?
And if you had the mental capaity to understnd my question that is clearly NOT explained indepth enough in the FAQ, you would appreciate that the value of g is more at the north pole and the south pole. WHICH IS NOT EXPLAINED IN THE FAQ. N00B.
Now prove me wrong.
I've pretty much had my fun playing with you in this thread, but since you seem so serious on the matter. ill go one more lil' step.
Your question:
Can you please tell me why g on earth, value around 9.81 varies depending upon height?
FE Answer:
The Moon and the Stars have a slight gravitational pull.
What does this mean? Simple. that ~9.81 number changes, depending on height. So. Lets put your question, and rephrase it as a sentence with the FE answer
the value of "g" on earth, varies depending on height due to a slight gravitational pull from the stars and the moon.
Seems easy enough. And its covered in the FAQ!
Yes. I wasn't specific enough in an answer to say that FE-ers don't believe in gravity on Earth. That's nice. Doesn't change the fact that doesn't in anyway affect your answer.
By the way, degenerating to personal insults is usually the first way to show you're losing an arguement. You shouldn't get so worked up over this. Yes, this last line applies to both FEers and REers alike.
