FAQ error....
« on: October 12, 2009, 03:03:13 PM »
i read this in the faq,
"Q:  Follow-up to previous question:  "How is it that the Earth does not have a gravitational pull, but stars and the moon do?"

A:  This argument is a non-sequitur. You might as well ask, "How is it that snakes do not have legs, but dogs and cats do?" Snakes are not dogs or cats. The Earth is not a star or the moon. It doesn't follow that each must have exactly the properties of the others, and no more."

and that isn't really the same comparison. we're talking about the laws of physics, people. it's more like if you dropped a snake and a cat off of the same building, and if, for some reason, the snake stayed floating in midair, and the cat fell to its death, asking why the hell it wasn't affected by gravity like the cat was. it's a legitimate question. according to FET, why don't we have gravity, and other places do?

The Earth is unique in several ways, one of which being that we lack gravitation.

So Einstein was wrong when he said that mass warps space-time causing gravitation, right?  Or is the earth not made of mass?

He already explained it perfectly as you can see.

Is this supposed to prove something here?
