Paul, Demonstrate your position with observations….. but do not and you cannot assume the very thing you are attempting to demonstrate.....it is that simple!...I completely understand that you don’t like the "phrases" that i keep using… You still don’t see the difference between imagination and observation do you?!………... the tides are not thought experiments they are observations…so is the Alias effect your "free fall" is not a observation it is a assumption about an inertial state that you are trying to demonstrate…the concept of ."free fall" as you use it is the very thing you are trying to prove you cannot just assume it it there……Now what is the observation that shows us that falling to the earth is the same as inertial neutrality…..hint there is none...... the fact that any and every acceleration that can be produced demonstrates a detectable effect even when objects begin to accelerate at gravity…….is not a thought experiment.. that is a fact! ..It is reproducible and consistent every time!...... Your arguments about free fall can only be made by assuming the very things you are trying to demonstrate in the first place v (the ordinary and plain observation of inertial rest) so as to convince folk that accelerations in "free fall" cant be detected but the way you use "free fall" is it self the assumption of the very thing you are trying to prove….if there is no orbit then no free fall can exist! ..You assume the very thing you are trying to demonstrate!.. Secondly you don't seem to understand the difference between observed event and the explanation for why that event occurred .....The problem here is with your examples and how you use them..... Please explain to us exactly which "two 1 kg lead spheres will be in front, behind, or on a par with each other when passing perihelion" and how you know that as well as exactly how that proves why they behave that way.....? again you cannot make your argument without assuming your idea of why gravity works the way that it does and why or how it is related to inertia...in fact you must assume paul that gravity and inertia are related period... Paul that is what you are trying to demonstrate....you cannot first assume all those things in spite of observations to the contrary, to interpret the observations that supposedly validate that very thing you are attempting to demonstrate....it is called a circular fallacy.........Accelerations cannot be detectable and not detectable at the same time wrt the same exact bodies.....All the imaginations and explanations will never ever make that contradiction disappear.....if you want to show us how it is just an illusion then you must first demonstrate the observation that shows it to be an illusion not first assume it is an illusion by which we interpret what we see....how can you be so self contradictory and not see it......Your discussions are nor based in any attempt to figure things out your only trying to justify why what you believe is not realy "faith" and win a argument ...dam the observations...if i am wrong then you should have no problem demonstrating something without asking us to assume the very things you are trying to show us.......Paul what you put forward quite simply neurotic, bipolar and schizoidfrantic....by definition… ----- Original Message ---- From: Paul Deema <paul_deema@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2008 4:02:02 AM Subject: [geocentrism] Re: Proof of heliocentrism Allen D I have highlighted a number of phrases in your post which I've heard over and over and over and over and over and over and over ... Your posts have a depressing quality which conjure up visions of a "random buzz-phrase generator". It's like I'm not really talking to anybody -- it's just a computer program. You assert many things which you choose to remember as demonstrations. You choose to condemn my offerings as valueless 'thought experiments' while simultaneously assessing your 'thought experiments' as demonstrations. I'm tired of it. If you really wish to 'demonstrate' -- demonstrate which of the two 1 kg lead spheres will be in front, behind, or on a par with each other when passing perihelion.

The logical contradictions are all yours...you canot demonstrate anything without first assuming your conclusions...where as we do not have any problems with taking data for what it is.....Again you must first demonstrate via a observation that the observation you wish to consider as a illusion is in fact a illusion first .....it is not logical to first assume it is a illusion and the use that assumption to interpret which observations you take as face value and which ones you take as "illusions" Your so wrong Paul and it is very sad that you don’t seem even capable seeing your own inconsistencies.....i don't have a problem with what is shown in the lab..the problem is .....the only things you attempt to use from the lab do not support your positions unless you first assume the very conclusions you are attempting to validate with those observations from the "lab" . You use your assumptions to interpret the data that tell you exactly what you want to here!?.......I find it humorous however sad that you cant see that you nor Regener never actually demonstrate anything. You Like Regner simply make assertions that make perfect sense but only if you assume the very conclusions you are trying to reach first!? Otherwise the things you can show at face value show a motionless earth centered universe…..because as I have already demonstrated accelerations even in free fall no mater what Physics construct you take can and are detected…..You nor Regner have any place to hide in these debates……..so go think about it and come up with something coherent and consistent that can demonstrate a logical path to it’s conclusion that I have never heard before… ----- Original Message ---- From: Paul Deema <paul_deema@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, May 24, 2008 1:43:30 AM Subject: [geocentrism] Re: Proof of heliocentrism Allen D You said - .....i perfere what can be demonstrated in the lab not the logical contridictions of nonsense and fool myself into beliving it is somehow more reasonable!?
