"Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: For they prophesy a lie unto you." -- Jeremiah 27:9-10
"Then the king [Nebuchadnezzar] commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king." -- Daniel 2:2
"The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill." -- Daniel 2:5
"The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean. And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh. For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon. And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain." -- Daniel 2:10-14
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." -- Revelation 21:8
"... flying through the air by magic has has now become reality...." -- Georg Luck, historian, 1985
Burn the heretic...=)
The plane is falling at the same rate as the people in it are falling....why does that defy gravity?
ReplyDeleteGravity says that massive objects accelerate downwards at the rate of 9.8 meters per second squared.
ReplyDeleteGravity also says that massive objects have weight by virtue of universal gravitation.
ReplyDeleteThe plane and the people inside the plane are falling downwards at that rate.
ReplyDeleteIf the plane were falling downward at that rate it would crash.
ReplyDeleteIf gravitation is universal then how it possible to experience weightlessness?
ReplyDeletePeople experience weight all the time, the thing that is not always experienced is the normal force pushing in the opposite direction of their weight. Weightlessness should actually be called "free fall" instead, it is free-fall that people experience.
ReplyDeleteGravity is not the cartoon animal you make it out to be, that's why. You do not understand gravity, just like you do not understand evolution or geology.
ReplyDeleteI've learned not to be so annoyed with your incompetence.
I'm a much happier person as a result.
QF,
ReplyDelete"People experience weight all the time"
Not when they are experiencing weightlessness in zero g.
"Weightlessness should actually be called "free fall"
So when someone is in between the earth and the moon and they are experiencing weightlessness, to where are they falling?
Jeffery,
ReplyDeleteI've learned to ignore all your comments that don't address questions and topics.
They're falling away from an unstable lagrange point toward either the Moon or the Earth, and the Earth-Moon system is falling around the Sun which is falling around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy which is falling around a galaxy cluster...etc.
ReplyDeleteFalling to where? What about the things that aren't falling?
ReplyDeleteI've learned to ignore all your comments that don't address questions and topics.
ReplyDeleteBut I did. I addressed the fact that you have your head up your ass when it comes to science.
You somehow think that gravity implies attraction, lack of curvature, ignores lift, bouyancy, inertia and has progressed beyond Newton's simple math.
It has, but you can't let go of your mis-characterization, because if you did, you'd have nothing to say on the matter... there would be nothing to make fun of.
You keep stuffing that strawman with your bullshit, hoping someone will freak out, or react negatively, or (hopefully) censor you, so you can be "right."
No one would tell you to shut the fuck up if you weren't on to something.
I've asked you before to only comment on stuff you understand, but if you did that, you'd have to shut this blog down.
Falling -> increase in gravitational entropy
ReplyDeleteIf something is not falling relative to something else then there is another force in superposition with gravitation making it so, often times that force is centripetal force due to relative velocity, electrical. It is also concievable that antigravity could be in play (like the jet streams of anti-mass shooting out of a black hole).
Jeffey,
ReplyDelete"You somehow think that gravity implies attraction"
And you say it doesn't?
QF,
ReplyDelete"If something is not falling relative to something else then there is another force in superposition with gravitation making it so"
You are assuming that based upon no evidence.
What force acts as antigravity?
"If something is not falling relative to something else then there is another force in superposition with gravitation making it so"
ReplyDelete....In light of the great amounts of evidence for this statement and the fact that it is mainstream theory, I think the burden of proof is on you to disprove this assertion.
What force acts as antigravity?
In gravitational fields, like masses attract and unlike masses repel....this is my own hypothesis, and it makes a lot of sense to me. I'm basing this guess on the physical idea that there exists antimass in addition to mass.
QF,
ReplyDelete"In light of the great amounts of evidence for this statement and the fact that it is mainstream theory, I think the burden of proof is on you to disprove this assertion."
Geometrical propositions falsifying this have already been demonstrated.
"Since we have already proved through geometrical considerations the equivalence of all hypotheses with respect to the motions of any bodies whatsoever, however numerous, moved only by the collision with other bodies, it follows that not even an angel could determine with mathematical rigor which of the many bodies of that sort is at rest, and which is the center of motion for the others." -- Gottfried W. Leibniz, polymath, 1689
Q.E.D.
Physics uses relative coordinates, non-absolute since all things are in motion.
ReplyDelete"Physics uses relative coordinates, non-absolute"
ReplyDeleteExactly. No such thing as absolute motion.
"all things are in motion."
You haven't experienced all things. We don't know if all things are in motion or not.
Once again OIM, burden of proof is on you to show that there are things that aren't in constant motion.
ReplyDeleteQF,
ReplyDeleteWhat does rest mean?
We haven't experienced all things.
Therefore I make no claim about all things.
The burden of proof is on you.
Rest is relative to a given coordinate system, and at the resolution that the human eye can make out :)
ReplyDeleteThere is no given coordinate system of the universe, therefore there is no absolute motion (See Galileo, Leibniz, and Einstein).
ReplyDeleteYep, only relative motion.
