Problems with FE's "gravity"
« on: September 12, 2007, 02:06:41 PM »
Okey, so your idea is that the earth is flying upwards, and that makes it look like we are falling down, but instead it's the earth that is going up?

The problems with this is that we wouldn't "fall", we could fly around - because we have the same speed as the earth.
In a falling airplain, people can try to fly around (because the airplain is already falling with the highest speed it could get from the earth's gravitation) so, it would be the same effect here. If you were right, they would crash into the roof inside the plain, and they don't.

I also think you should try to explain how we can fly around in a falling airplain, if gravity doesn't exist?
I'm talking about this: http://english.people.com.cn/200412/22/images/1221_A91.jpg
How does this fit into the FE world view?

I encourage you to read the RE Primer on this topic. The FE Theory correctly explains the primary effects of Earth's gravity. It fails to explain secondary effects, such as the variances of 'g' in altitude and latitude and the Cavendish experiment. I suggest that you move your challenges to the secondary effect of gravity.

I'm surprised if it can explain what I said.

Another one:
Double stars clearly indicate that gravity exists. So does gravity bended photoes.

It really can. Check it out. We've worked the math for a parachutist for cb. in the 21-page topic: here.

Yep, gravity exists. Only the inane Tom Bishop still says otherwise (though TheEngineer told everyone differently for about a year). FEers, though, are forced by physics to reject that the FE produces gravity.

The earth is accelerating upwards. When an airplane is in free fall and accelerated to terminal velocity its occupants experience Zero-G because the plane is no longer riding upon the atmosphere. The plane moves downwards at the same rate its occupants fall. The plane and its occupants are completely disconnected from the upwards acceleration of the earth.

See Einstein's Equivalence Principle. Gravitation and acceleration are exactly equivalent.

This is false. The EP does not say that. TomB lies, again.

Tom Bishop:
so you are saying that when a airplain is at free fall, it's accually standing still in the air and then the earth is moving towards the airplain?

It wouldn't work because the airplain already had the same speed as the earth.

I don't remember saying otherwise.

But according to you, acceleration is relative.

Look. The earth is not moving upwards at a set speed. It's accelerating upwards.

When the plane stops riding along the atmosphere and goes into freefall, reaching terminal velocity, it is no longer accelerating upwards with the earth. Hence, the plane is disconnected from the atmosphere and the acceleration of the earth. Therefore Zero-G is felt until the plane pulls up again.

It's really funny to see the limited understanding of physics laws of some RE-ers. Obvious for them, SCIENCE is nothing more than a BELIEF (since they cannot understand basic concepts as accelerated movement versus constant speed) regardless of the name they are using it for that.

Thats what I was thinking. 

The EP only works for uniform gravitational fields.  The EP does not say "Gravitation and acceleration are exactly equivalent."

No word from Tom.  I wounder if he saw his mistake and ran to hide under his parents bed.

I doubt that he has parents. If he does, I doubt that they have a bed. If they do, I imagine they moved away without telling him.

So, when FET says the FE is accelerating at a constant 1g, it's incorrect--according to both SR's rules on FoRs and to an outside observer. What FET should say is that the FE feels like it's accelerating at a constant rate to those on the surface of the FE.
Seems pretty relative to me...

Really, go back to highscool, that's basic stuff that you are confussed about...
I was talking about the question of this thread - how a plane that stops it's engines is falling towards Earth if is no gravity...
EP is not involved here as far I am concerned because gravitation doesn't exist... on Earth at least.
Try to keep it to the topic:
Okey, so your idea is that the earth is flying upwards, and that makes it look like we are falling down, but instead it's the earth that is going up?

The problems with this is that we wouldn't "fall", we could fly around - because we have the same speed as the earth.
In a falling airplain, people can try to fly around (because the airplain is already falling with the highest speed it could get from the earth's gravitation) so, it would be the same effect here. If you were right, they would crash into the roof inside the plain, and they don't.

I also think you should try to explain how we can fly around in a falling airplain, if gravity doesn't exist?

Gee, I can't help but notice that "relative" doesn't even show up in that quote.

It's clear that in defending that acceleration is relative that you don't understand physics.

Do keep it up though. Sokarul and I are enjoying a great laugh.
