Please explain why an atmosphere would be needed.
Please explain why you cannot understand the Newtonian definition of a force, thus:
You do not need something to push off to move. You only need to develop a force on a mass.
Because it's difficult to explain anything to someone who does not understand even the most basic terminology involved in the explanation.
LULZ!!!
As for the irrelevant & misleading man-on-skateboard schtick - is that still the best you can do?
Strawman much?
Read my reply #1569 on page 79 for a thorough dismantling of this nonsense.
Now; try answering at least one of the five questions I posit below:
Can Predictive Programming & Propaganda, as well as many kinds of Symbolic Imprinting not be promoted through the medium of 'Stories', especially an audio-visual medium such as Film?
Because I suggest to you that it is in fact the best way to do so.
And do you deny that NASA themselves are planning to send an unmanned mission to Europa for the very same purpose of searching for extra-terrestrial 'life'?
Thus, the film Europa Report - which was made in close consultation with NASA 'experts' - sets the scene for them 'succeeding' in that search, does it not?
Seeds the Idea in the minds of the public, yes?
About the three-fold sacrificial offering, made in order to invoke a space-octopus, depicted in the propaganda movie Europa Report; would any three of the Satanic space-cultists on this forum be willing to do the same?
Or don't answer them & keep up your barrage of brainwashing...
Because every time you openly avoid answering my questions, whilst oppressively insisting I answer yours, you will revolt neutral readers even more, thus undermining your aims here.
Which reminds me; one last question: Is Control controlled by the need to control?
LOL!!!
Now THAT'S something you control-freak cultists really should ponder...
Toodle-pip, psychopaths!
Thanks for directing me to message #1569 on page 79, which is your explanation of the rocket/skateboard/cannon/rocket analogy.
The following is a portion of that explanation -
'A rocket & its exhaust are NOT Object A & Object B in a Newton 3 scenario; it is clear to a child that they both move together & are part of the same thing.
The combustED gases may trail off; but the combustING gases stay with the rocket at all times.
As previously stated, the 'man on skateboard' FALSE rocketry analogy is clearly more suited to describing the recoil from a gun.
Thus, the ball (Object A), represents the projectile; the skateboard (Object B) represents the gun; & the man, in THRUSTING or APPLYING PRESSURE/FORCE upon the ball represents the propulsive charge (i.e. gunpowder or such).'After reading the above, it is now perfectly clear to me where you have gone wrong in your thought processes, and it relates to the 'skateboard'.
Unfortunately, you've misunderstood the function of the skateboard in the momentum experiment. The skateboard is only there to simulate a frictionless state, whereby the action of the 'ball throwing' makes the movement in the opposite direction more pronounced.
In your explanation you've stated that the skateboard represents the gun? Actually, the skateboard does not represent the gun at all, as its only function in the experiment is to simulate a frictionless platform on which to place the man and the ball.
At least in the description of your analogy, you have correctly allocated the ball as the 'projectile', but unfortunately, your belief that the skateboard represents the gun is clearly wrong, as I've just explained above.
The correct labelling of the components in your analogy should be as follows -
The ball is the projectile.
The man is the rifle.
The man's arm is the explosive force/propulsive charge.
How you could possibly label the skateboard as the rifle/gun is plainly ridiculous, and points directly at your complete lack of understanding about its purpose/function in the momentum experiment.
Further to your quote, you've stated that a rocket and its exhaust move together, and therefore can't be Object A and Object B in Newton's 3rd law?
Actually, a rocket and its exhaust DON'T move together, as they plainly go in opposite directions, the rocket one way and the exhaust the other. How you can say that the rocket and its exhaust move together is clearly wrong.
You've also stated that the combusting gases stay with the rocket at all times. Clearly this is also wrong, as the only thing that 'stays' with the rocket, is the unburnt fuel which is remaining in the fuel tanks. The ignited fuel is expelled out of the engine nozzles, and obviously doesn't 'stay' with the rocket at all.
To say 'that they both move together & are part of the same thing' is another incorrect statement of yours.
