Paul, You are obviously confussed about a great deal........After further searches for unequivocal evidence that you do indeed claim that acceleration caused by gravity can be measured internal to the body being accelerated -- free fall -- I submit the following (relevant portion shown in (my addition) italics) - ABSOLUTLY!? Paul, I went one step further, it is not a "claim", it is a fact of reality in any and every ref frame you can create! & I NEVER, EVER SUGGERSTED OTHERWISE.....!? you did not get it .....so here it is again...... .******************** I did not claim that "an accelerometer would indicate a change in velocity due to gravity" ..I stated as a fact that any change in whatever interial state ( in GTR/STR Gravity and inertia are one and the same) you are in, no matter what you take as your interial "ref frame", that for a fact, in-deed and in application that change will and has and always will be detectable as you said "for ever and ever amen"!.....I have "steped up to the plate" and showed, demonstrated and even cited proof. It is you keep changing ("Making like an eel in a bucket of warm fat") the approach without ever addressing my original post (quantum & laser gyros/accelerometers) or my secondary post to your "mass/spring" diversion. I have already shown you clearly and specificly how and exactly why a accelerometor can and will and in fact does measure any change in the intertial state, in a free fall or not. The only outstanding issues left to be addressed if any are ones of scale not practical/ actual application(s) ************************** Not only did you miss the emphisis complely, but I did not even word my position that way ...!? Continuing Now:..... back to the issues...... -Gravity and inertia are one and the same thing in MS.....!? -An acceleration is a change by defintion but a change wrt what!? That is why my previous post addressed the grav/inertia and acceleration issues as follows......... Snip................. If the earth remained stationary wrt a distanct star but a car on the earth first sitting at rest then began to accelerate by 1g due to that same distanct star, would that motion be detected by your mass accelerometer in the car or not? There are only two posibilites: 1. If not....... then please expalin to everyone what causes the tides and planitary bulges so we can establish the underlying physics for gravity/ inertia.....? 2. If so......... then the only difference is scale of the effects....between a car laying horizonaly on the earths suface and "free falling at 1g toward a distant star or a bomb hanging horizonaly to a distant star and free falling 1 g to earth's suface.... The problem with your "mass and spring" is only one of resolution or scale that is why I appealed to quantum and laser acclerometers/ gyros. It is not that the effect is not there in relaity it is just that in relaity our mass on a spring is not sinsitive enougph to measure what is taking place regaurdless of GU or HC universe....... ......................................... Let me futher expand on the thought there with the car in that previous email........hint ....the car is accelerated & to the distant star as the ...Oceans.....tides...are accelerated by/ to the distant moon....via...??....ummmmm......it starts with a "Grav" and ends with a....."ity". ..now jump to point # 2. If so......... then the only difference is scale of the effects....between a car laying horizonaly on the earths suface and "free falling at 1g toward a distant star or a bomb hanging horizonaly to a distant star and free falling 1 g to earth's suface.... If gravity acts on all parts of the accelerometer equally and simoltaniouly then ......come on, the fire works and light bulb should have gone off days ago by now....!? All and any of my post were all addressing the exact same issue in the same way!? In my last Posting I decided to exand upon your questions but only so far as to put another nail in and Prove my point and add more highlight to your error. If you can't understand your logical error here then all the math in the world will not prove anything excpect to discrtiact from the issue...YOU HAVE A LOGICAL CONTRIDICTION IN YOUR/MS EXPLINATIONS/ UNDERSTANDING/APPLICATIONS of Gravity, inertia and "inertial reference frames"....just to name a few...! I will not be diverted by your attempted sleight of hand tricks. Point out the error in my closing paragraph or forever hold to silence. Paul D That is what you asked for and that is what i gave you......!? Read it again.... "I'm going to be charitable and assume that you still do not grasp what I'm saying about accelerometers........................ Now for the crunch, the bit where our velocity changes due to acceleration by gravity. (Note - from a recent post from Regner, perhaps 'speed' is more appropriate here -- please comment if you think it appropriate. In any event, what I'm trying to convey is that our rate of travel increases). This time, we place our vehicle into elliptical orbit -- around Earth will suffice -- and as we pass apogee, we begin to accelerate. At this moment we place our accelerometer 1 kg mass outside the vehicle with velocities matched and engage our distance and time measuring devices. After we have passed perigee we will have stopped accelerating and begin decelerating. At no time from apogee to perigee will the 1 kg mass have fallen behind or overtaken us and this will not change from perigee back to apogee and so on for ever and ever amen. Despite acceleration and deceleration due to gravity in an elliptical orbit, our accelerometer will indicate no change in velocity.",,OK quite simply your wrong ...why? ..Then how exactly does the moon accelerate the ocean tides separate and very disticntive ( in my opinion) from the rest of the mass on the earth it passes over.......why, it appears to take the water wrt land and "leave it behind" .........ummm ..............Maybe it has somthing to do with "Hooke's law of elasticity"..!? :-) The error in your closing paragraph.... here it is..... You can't use gravity to create "Differential Forces" & effects and then use the same causes for thoese same forces to cause the same forces to be "non-differential" (wrt measurable acceleration) all at the same time...!?..I suppose though that is "the micicle of modern scicence" Again class, .....in MS Gravity and inertia are one and the same, and acceleration (& even direction too:-) is always and only wrt the "almighty" "INERTIAL REFERENCE FRAME".....????? Does the sun & or moon accelerate the tides or not ? If not then where do the tides come from ?..:-) If it does then how can you claim that you could not detect or measure an acceleration using a "mass/spring"/ earth v water ( im herby now invoking "Hooke's law of elasticity"..i think:-) of a body in free fall within "inertial ref frames"? NOW..ummm.. couph.....exactly why do you think that your mass outside your craft would not get left behind again.........????? ................................ However all of this was a distraction you inserted away from my primar address which as i pointed out so many times was........... "The problem with your "mass and spring" is only one of resolution or scale that is why I appealed to quantum and laser acclerometers/ gyros. It is not that the effect is not there in relaity it is just that in relaity our mass on a spring is not sinsitive enougph to measure what is taking place regaurdless of GU or HC universe......."
