Brouwer is so mad and angry. I am sorry for defeating your round Earth beliefs. Why do you always get so defensive when you are defeated? I think I answered my own question. lol
I don't agree that you are defeating our round Earth beliefs. UA itself
must be a constant acceleration.
My whole point has been that I fail to see how the "gravitational forces" of the moving celestial bodies can possibly explain how the gravitational field on earth is predictably lower at high altitude and higher at each pole.
Surely if the variations from a constant were due to the moving celestial bodies then these variations would move around the earth and not stay in the same location as observed.
Also no-one has ever given a sensible rebuttal of the original Cavendish experiment or the numerous later experiment that give quite consistent results.
This is not to claim that all gravitation or even the universal gravitational constant is completely understood. In fact the measuments of the "universal gravitational constant" appear to show a very slight periodic variation over time, yet no sign of long term variation - as yet there is no explanation of this (that I know of).
I know I run the risk of what I accuse many FE supporters (esp Charles and Jeranism!) of, that is a failure to under the opposing model - I try to understand it, hence these questions.
