Comment on Bend It Like Newton by Jan Rosseau

The force that a ball applies to the Earth is the same as the Earth applies to the ball. This follows from Newton’s third law. But because the Earth is so heavy (inertial mass) this does not matter much. But for the ball it does 😉 So that’s why the ball falls to the Earth and not the other way around, even though the size of the force on both objects is equally big.

Isn’t the hourly precession as describe due only to the earth’s rotation on its axis, as opposed to the earth’s revolution around the sun? It seems to me that the precession due to the earth’s rotation would take much longer to manifest and would be a more complex observation.

Albert Einstein is the greatest scientist of all time. The end.

Honorable Mention to Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Charles Darwin.

Agreed as well with Brian..!

Comment on Cosmic Expansion and Tired Light by Brian Koberlein

Photons lose energy TO a gravitational field in the case of general relativity. Or gain energy in some cases. Tired light says something very different. Tired light claims that photons spontaneously lose energy over time, in direct violation of conservation of energy.

I find the reasoning flawed when BK writes that “tired light violate conservation of energy.” In that case any body, that loses energy during its path violates the conservation of energy. Anti parallel laser beams attracts each other, because energy/mass has gravitational field, which was shown 1915 by A. Einstein in his general theory of relativity. During a solar eclipse 1917 his predictions were shown to be correct. Measurements on systems with two neutron stars shows an energy loss exactly as Einstein predicted. Consequently a photon also loses energy when it travels in a gravitational field.

Hi Brian What is Mirza on about. Logic – incorrect premise leads to nonsense. It was the logic of Plato, Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Aquinas among others that kept Europe in the Dark Ages for over 1000 years and held back science for a similar period.

Comment on Does the Aether Exist? Hint: No by FRANCIS MAXINO

FRANCIS MAXINO — Sun, 03 Feb 2019 23:06:17 +0000

Excuse me but what exactly is the medium upon which electromagnetic energy and photons travel ? These questions can still not be sufficiently answered and until the true nature of the time-space fabric is really known (because if it was ‘nothing’ then there would be no way for particles or waves to move). Until it is solved eerything else is purely philosopical speculation. Even what gravity is is not really understood so to say an ‘aether’ isn’t there is about as valid as saying ‘gravity is there’ even though we know how it affects things etc. but not really what it is made of or how it causes attraction between masses.

In the moment immediately after the Big Bang why did some particles ‘ Slow down and crate Mass while others continue at the created speed?
