FET's gravity
« on: October 18, 2011, 10:15:59 PM »
From the FAQ, I understand that you sincerely believe that the supposedly FE does not provide strange gravitational effects because gravity does not apply, but at the same time gravity somehow applies (and in pretty unreasonably strong quantities, if I understand your numbers right) to celestial objects. How does it not apply to Earth's mass? All that happened in FAQ to explain it was a wave of the hand and a claim that Earth is special. How, then, do you explain the Cavendish Experiment? I can see you claiming that, since the metal balls are not Earth, they can have gravitational pull. However, the metal was once part of the earth, was it not? Then  at what point and how would it gain gravitation?

In 1818, Doctor John Cleves Symmes, Jr. proved without any doubt that earth is hollow (and who would questions the genius of such a great man?).
On the other side, according to FE'ers, Samuel Birley Rowbotham proved without any doubt that Earth is flat.

The earth must hence be flat and hollow, a hollow cylinder of some sort, with insignificant mass in comparison.

P.S.: Am I doing this right ? I am new to this cosmological-conspiracy-theory-based-on-writings-of-an-obscure-19th-century-amateur-cosmologist business...

That depends on your definition of "right". You're a verbatim copy of the template angry noob, around and about since 2006 or so.

So... How does any of that relate to my question? Great theory, though, reminds me of Norse mythology; I like it.

Can someone acknowledge the Cavendish experiment's contradiction to FET, and how that can be reconciled?

Have you considered that there might be forces at work between those metal balls other than "gravity"?

Such as? More to the point, experiments have been done to determine G (i.e. the value the Cavendish experiment measures) that do not use the force between metal balls, so any 'other forces' are a moot point, as experiments have been done that would not have these forces.

In answer to the OP: Cavendish was a very poorly performed experiment. Even many globularist scientists agree with this. It completely failed to take other factors into account.

Atom interferometer measurements: Basically, they can determine very accurately how a collection of atoms has moved. By placing a mass near by and determinging any differences, they can determine G.

In answer to the OP: Cavendish was a very poorly performed experiment. Even many globularist scientists agree with this. It completely failed to take other factors into account.

So, because one experiment performed many years ago was flawed, all the experiments we have done since are flawed, even if they use different methods to account for the - obviously known - flaws in the Cavendish experiment?

Funny how you're quite happy to take mainstream scientists' opinion on a "poorly performed experiment" that doesn't "take other factors into account" when it suits your belief, yet you disregard the opinion of mainstream scientists who have come to the same conclusion regarding the Bedford Level experiment, the basis for all of this rubbish.

Sure Cavendish has flaws, but that is the textbook example for a measurement of g using small objects. Much better, more advanced experiments have occurred since which still demonstrate gravitation. Your theory, which entirely rests on an extremely flawed, unupdated experiment which you refuse to acknowledge any possible wrong with, contradicts these facts. How do you explain this, other than ignore the question?

I don't deny that conventional Round Earth scientists believe in the existence of such a machine. However, I believe that this device is fictional and is just another method of Conspiracy deceit.

That's all right Xenu, most people believe that you are fictional too.

Besides, perhaps FET is a conspiracy too.

Is that supposed to be of some significance in this thread? Looks more like a response to where you ran away butt-hurt from your previous comments here http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=51150.msg1258855#msg1258855 and here http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=51150.msg1258744#msg1258744
Maybe you should respond to them in the correct thread. While you're at it, if you use non-transparent text it'll be a little easier to read.

I haven't seen that done anywhere else, and to my knowledge its the first time someone has done that to me. Since when does everyone doing something mean anything? It's still a comment out of context and hidden.

Here's a quick real world hint: Actually thinking the world is flat is very silly. Doesn't seem to stop plenty of people claiming it on this website, so I guess looking silly isn't really much of a problem round here.

I hope you dont have to testify in court much, or string conversations together where they matter. Notice you said this just a couple posts ago?

That in simple terms is a denial that it is real and/or anyone believes in the existance of such a machine.

The problem with text LX is that people can go back and see what you said before. please try to keep it together.

Yes, it's called being new. If you prefer, it's called being a newfag. I tried being friendly and helpful, but apparently you're not into that kind of thing. I'll keep that in mind.

Unfortunately, I can't link you to search results directly, but with just a bit of your own initiative you can find out that "newfag" is a common word round here. With just a bit more, you can discover that it's a common word everywhere in the Internet.
