Gravity: It's Only a Theory

Tis more likely a bacon deficiency.

The Universal Theory of Gravity is often taught in schools as a fact, when in fact it is not even a good theory.

First of all, no one has measured gravity for every atom and every star. It is simply a religious belief that it is "universal".

Secondly, school textbooks routinely make false statements. For example, "the moon goes around the earth." If the theory of gravity were true, it would show that the sun's gravitational force on the moon is much stronger than the earth's gravitational force on the moon, so the moon would go around the sun. Anybody can look up at night and see the obvious gaps in gravity theory.

The existence of tides is often taken as a proof of gravity, but this is logically flawed. Because if the moon's "gravity" were responsible for a bulge underneath it, then how can anyone explain a high tide on the opposite side of the earth at the same time? Anyone can observe that there are two — not one — high tides every day. It is far more likely that tides were given us by an Intelligent Creator long ago and they have been with us ever since. In any case, the fact that there are two high tides falsifies gravity.

But it works. Hence humanity and what not sticking to the gravity source below you.

1 there are a lot of things not done. So that's something of a strawman. However gravitational effects can be observed at distant suns and galaxies to work as predicted. The sun dance at the centre of our galaxy is a fine example.

2 the pull of gravity has an inverse square property, the sun is far enough away that its gravitational effect on the moon simply pulls its orbit onto an ellipse while the gravitational effect of earth holds its orbit. Interestingly the moon is moving away from earth at a rate of 3.8cm per year.

3 fluid dynamics seems to have you stumped. Now all you need to do is prove your creator exists and he gave us tides.

Edit : sorry, the image seems to have fallen foul of the RF bug/feature. Just open the post up in a reply window to see it.

Gravity totally fails to explain why Saturn has rings and Jupiter does not. It utterly fails to account for obesity.

Jupiter does have rings though guvnor. Not the kind you can see easily with the naked eye mind.

''The planet Jupiter has a system of rings known as the rings of Jupiter or the Jovian ring system. It was the third ring system to be discovered in the Solar System, after those of Saturn and Uranus. It was first observed in 1979 by the Voyager 1 space probe[1] and thoroughly investigated in the 1990s by the Galileo orbiter.[2] It has also been observed by the Hubble Space Telescope and from Earth for several years.[3] Ground-based observations of the rings require the largest available telescopes''

Here is evidence that physics is bunk....
Gravity should be an inverse cube function because space has 3 dimensions.
But it isn't. Therefore God!

Likewise fellow alumnus, it's been a while since I was last in the high energy magic building, tinkering with things I really shouldn't tinker with. I remember the librarian fondly, everytime I walk into a bookstore I am reminded of the day I spilt ink on a borrowed book and when handing it back I gave the Librarian a casual shrug of indifference when he saw the stain and said Ook! Ook? My sternum still aches in cold weather to this day.

Evidence is Satan's plaything.
Gravity is just an atheist's invention because of hatred for God.
Intelligent Falling comports far better with the Bible, which is
the ultimate science textbook.

Ahh, intellegent falling, the art of flying in a nutshell. The art lies in learning to fall to the ground and miss.

Of course, I know the frubalworthy reference.

Really we are in spacetime with a fourth dimension of time. Gravity being only half a power only requires 2 so logically it all add up, no god required.

Oh the librarian, i often shared a pint with him in the mended drum, we had some truly noteworthy conversations. What has happend to my long orange haired drinking buddy?

That's just Satan speaking thru you.
You need an exorcism!

You're an engineer too?
Woo hoo!

No one actually clicks on links, do they?

Those are great topix for a science class.
Tis a darn shame that those pix don't appear.

While we have this problem on RF,
tis good to supply links for viewing.

Oh, is it a thing with the website? I thought it was my server... I can see them in the edit screen just fine.

I'll fix

Well, if we live in a block universe* then currently he is jumping up and down upon my chest repeatedly.

* ''According to the growing block universe theory of time (or the growing block view), the past and present exist and the future does not exist. The present is an objective property, to be compared with a moving spotlight. By the passage of time more of the world comes into being; therefore, the block universe is said to be growing. The growth of the block is supposed to happen in the present, a very thin slice of spacetime, where more of spacetime is continually coming into being.''

Tell him he stlll owes me a pint and no ook about it.

Ive seen an admin post about it a couple of days ago . They are relying on tekies to (hopefully) fix it.
