I think that UA model breaks Conservation of energy rule
« on: April 12, 2019, 10:20:06 AM »
Well simple consideration. Whole Earth is accelerating at g = 9.81 ms-2 but what does it make accelerate??? And where does it take the energy to give Earth so big kinetic energy?? It cannot accelerate just itself because it would violate the Conservation of energy rule. So I think that because of this UA model cannot work.
Before you can talk to me learn physics.

There is a massive difference here.
I assume that you are referring to the dark energy hypothesis which is only relevant almost 30 million light years from earth so when it comes to the flat vs Globe question, who cares?
But the flat earth UA hypothesis is needed in an attempt to explain away the need for gravity right here on earth and it very relevant to the here and now.

There's really not a massive difference. It's energy that is inherent to space. If someone is about to prove that such a thing can't exist, guess what that does for inflation?

How about just the vacuum zero point energy, rab? That's not 30 million light years away. Is it ok of we talk about how the Casimir Effect demonstrates that you can extract energy from quite literally empty space?

Or is it ok just for once to admit that the OP's premise is flawed, even though you think you are on the same team?

It's funny how any old hypothesis will do to explain things away on the flat earth.
Sure "the Casimir Effect demonstrates that you can extract" tiny amounts of "energy from quite literally empty space" and what power is needed to accelerate the earth again?

Why admit that they are flawed if they are not flawed? Where have you proven that it is flawed? All you've done is posted hypotheses.

And why can't you admit that the whole idea of a flat earth is completely flawed?
I could give a list of reasons why the real earth cannot be flat but I'll refrain because you'll claim that they were "off-topic".

So what about you simply answering the OP:
Well simple consideration. Whole Earth is accelerating at g = 9.81 ms-2 but what does it make accelerate??? And where does it take the energy to give Earth so big kinetic energy?? It cannot accelerate just itself because it would violate the Conservation of energy rule. So I think that because of this UA model cannot work.

I just have to quickly apologize - it is law not rule :D
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy
And this is the LAW i was talking about :) And also the main uestion is how does Earth accelerate and where does it take energy from.

Mankind's current understanding of the cosmos demonstrates that the OP is flawed, because there is apparently a certain amount of energy that can make things like cosmic inflation work, and the Casimir Effect - things that violate the conversation of energy. You want to argue about the magnitude of this force. The OP suggests it can't even exist to begin with. Do you see the difference? You don't have to ass-pat every Round Earther that shows up and hamfists his keyboard.

Go look at my post history. Not that it's relevant, because we're talking about whether space can accelerate something. Can it move matter? Can the vacuum exert a force? The OP says it can't. Do you agree? Because quantum physicists and astrophysicists alike seem to think the OP may be wrong, and they study how the universe behaves on the smallest and largest scales respectively.

It was baked into the statement that he'd also be disproving inflation. Energy can be an inherent property of space. It's understood to be true today. The magnitude is what UA FEers would disagree with mainstream science about.

Let's look at your first post:
I'm excited. I think he's about to disprove cosmic inflation and UA at the same time!
For a start, what do you mean by "disprove cosmic inflation".
Are you seriously claiming that some hypothesis about the first 10−33 to 10−32 seconds after the "non-Big non-Bang" has any relevance to what is happening on the flat earth right now?

UA demands some source of acceleration equal to g and there is nothing in of these any modern theories (other than gravitation) that approaches that.
You say "The magnitude is what UA FEers would disagree with mainstream science about." Of course it is!

Gravity on the edge of one of the most massive galaxies, Messier 87 (that one) is a factor of about 1/(4 x 1010) less than g.
And dark energy (in case you suggest that) competes with far weaker fields than that.

All the other guesses you make are likewise exceedingly small. So, again the magnitude is important.
You claim is no better than flat earthers claiming that air refracts light, therefore refraction can explain sunsets on the flat earth ::).
Or getting "more (pseudo-)scientific", the atmosphere contains water (as vapour but they ignore that bit).
Water refracts light quite a lot, therefore the refraction of the water can explain sunsets on the flat earth ::).


So, yes the magnitude (and direction) here is vitally important.

From what I have seen one of the reasons many flat earthers insist that the earth must be flat is to avoid the "necessity" of believing in the "Big Bang".
That reasoning is totally false as is easily demonstrated.

But carry on if you must.

I'm beside myself. You really will take the side of any silly, terrible argument as long as the poster appears to be on your team, huh rab?

Let's refocus. Either the OP thinks there can be no violation of conservation of energy, in which case not only is UA broken but so is an inflationary universe, OR the OP selectively believes in the brand of energy conservation violation that he was taught in school while mindlessly dismissing the version that doesn't agree with his worldview. Neither of those is ideal. Yet you are here to twist yourself in knots to try and defend it. I'm pretty sure you know perfectly well that the rate distant objects are accelerating away from us in the universe is increasing. Yet you tried to paint my statement as if it was referring only to inflation from almost 14 billion years ago? Seems a bit dishonest.

Yes.
Quote
In physical cosmology, cosmic inflation, cosmological inflation, or just inflation, is a theory of exponential expansion of space in the early universe.
Words matter but I expect that you mean simply what is termed the accelerating expansion of the universe.
Quote
The accelerating expansion of the universe is the observation that the expansion of the universe is such that the velocity at which a distant galaxy is receding from the observer is continuously increasing with time.
And no expansion, let alone accelerating expansion of the universe, is taking place within some 5 million light years of here.
So the expansion of the universe can be of no assistance to UA even if you could convince flat earthers of the reality of anything astronomers observe.

Even if the expansion were taking place within the solar, with the current Hubble constant being about 70 kilometres per second per megaparsec, Pluto would be receding from us at the rate of about 0.013   mm/sec or 0.00005 m/hr.
And numbers matter.

If you think any of that explains the "force" driving UA be my guest.

He's about to point out that the rate of expansion within the RE Solar System is practically zero, despite the fact the properties of the RE Solar System specfically have no relevance here and that he accepts the force can indeed exist so it's a moot point regardless.

How do you know what the rate of expansion is or if it exists? Please explain how were you able to determine its value?

Basic logic generally works. Whether or not something can occur in one specific location is not relevant to whether something can occur in general.

Please learn to read before you dive in and make a bigger fool of yourself. This all started with:
I'm excited. I think he's about to disprove cosmic inflation and UA at the same time!
But in cosmology "cosmic inflation" does not refer to the current "expansion of the universe".
So Boydster's "Cosmic Inflation" likewise had no relevance.

It would seem, however, that it's far too late for you to "save yourself from the insanity".

All along I have been trying to point out the utter hypocrisy of taking a bit of "modern science", that is often quite inapplicable, and using it to explain some massive flat earth fallacy.

And even using the "expansion of the universe", which is completely non-existent even within our whole local group, to explain the enormous force needed to drive UA is ridiculous in the extreme.

You might be more believable if you simply claimed it was magic.

Then:
What source do you obtain your so called facts from? How on earth can you decide what is and what’s not relevant?
Basic logic generally works. Whether or not something can occur in one specific location is not relevant to whether something can occur in general.
Pray tell how "basic logic" leads you to decide "Whether or not something can occur in one specific location is not relevant to whether something can occur in general" when cosmologists specifically state that it does not?

Exactly what are your qualifications in cosmology again ::)?

I neither said nor implied any such thing.

All I am trying to get over is that it is a fallacy to to generalise something and pretend it can apply everywhere.

In particular there is no "expansion of the universe" within our galaxy. None, zilch!

In cosmology "cosmic inflation" has a very specific meaning quite unrelated to "dark energy" and the "accelerating expansion of the universe".

Or search for "If the universe is expanding why is Andromeda approaching the Milky Way?" and see what cosmologists write.

Rab, YOU brought up dark energy. And the OP WOULD be disproving cosmic inflation. And while I may have used the wrong term when referring to the present expansion, it applies to inflation, expansion, and I'm sure even more areas. So how long to you want to keep up this little charade?

Where did I ever say that "conservation of energy makes expansion of the universe completely impossible in our galaxy and beyond"?
I explicitly offered no opinion on that for the simple reason that neither you nor I can answer that question authoritatively.

Hence I will not "answer Y or N" - get used to it!

My first relevant post on the topic was:
I'm excited. I think he's about to disprove cosmic inflation and UA at the same time!
There is a massive difference here.
I assume that you are referring to the dark energy hypothesis which is only relevant almost 30 million light years from earth so when it comes to the flat vs Globe question, who cares?
But the flat earth UA hypothesis is needed in an attempt to explain away the need for gravity right here on earth and it very relevant to the here and now.
If you bother to study the "expansion of the universe" you might learn how slow it really is at such a distance and modern measurements are not consistent:
Quote
The current best direct measurement of the Hubble constant is 73.8 km/sec/Mpc (give or take 2.4 km/sec/Mpc including, both random and systematic errors), corresponding to a 3% uncertainty. Using only WMAP data, the Hubble constant is estimated to be 70.0 km/sec/Mpc (give or take 2.2 km/sec/Mpc), also a 3% measurement

I still stand by what I said that taking a hypothesis about what is happening "almost 30 million light years from earth" and using that to justify a far more massive "force" travelling at a vastly higher velocity (approaching 2,99,792,458 metres per second) if quite ridiculous and quite unjustified.

At the very least you logic is a classic example of an unwarranted generalisation.

Now run off and study a bit of cosmology.
