Allen D Well here we are again, full circle -- back at the Allen Daves primary defencive response. Attempt to bury your adversary in a barely decipherable avalanche of dismissive verbiage. (Perhaps he won't notice that you have not responded to the question asked). You usually take longer than this before repeating -- you must be tiring. I have scanned your post but cannot discern any reference to my proposition. Yes it's your thread but you are not Robert Mugabe here. When you make statements you invite comment. When you make statements which are false you invite argument. I took exception to your statement that an accelerometer can measure its own acceleration and said so. Others also said so. You have failed to respond relevantly to numerous general requests to debate the specific issue of the behaviour of accelerometers, preferring instead various diversionary and obfuscating detours. You have failed to respond to three identical -- distilled to 'irreducible complexity' -- descriptions of accelerometers. I therefore declare that you have on three occasions, failed to answer the bell and that by so doing, you have forfeited the match. Thus I declare - "Accelerometers cannot detect their own acceleration when that acceleration is occasioned by gravity."

Your example problem is not even consistent/ relevant with the nature of my assertions! 2. Any arguments you make for a lack of detection must involve a logical contridiction on your part..for the reasons already demonstrated. A.You don't seem to grasp mach's principle or even appear to be aware that it exist????? B. or the fact that gravity and inertia are one and the same in MS if inertial accelerations cannot be detected in free fall then what on God's green earth are we observing & measuring when we measure inertial motions only wrt the earths field itself!? How can the earths oceans demonstrate a physical and observable acceleration of the earth/ moon/ sun/ in free fall around one another gravitational field? There is no difference between the earth/ oceans and your mass/spring!?????? Both are simply mass suspended elastically( spring/hydrostatic force)!...... There is a difference Paul between the text book answers in your head and the practical applications in the real world with real rockets and real ICBM's and real Geostationary satellites not just the imaginary thought experiments in your confused head..............What part of that do you not understand!?..I don’t care if you like it or not I don’t care how much you believe what you think and want to believe the way you believe it is true...The fact is reality does not match the idea in your head or the point you are trying to make,...... what's worse.....MS has always known and even softly admits this is a problem for them that can only be reconciled to MS philosophical, not logically using their own data, but you don't seem to get it. You don’t seem to get the method it is first assume a given principle The Copernican one then secondly use that assumption to interpret the data in third use the conclusions of that interpretations to claim the Copernican principle is thus valid....!? Summary: A. I have put up...all you have and are doing is keep repeating the same nonsense as before 1. irrelevant examples 2. clueless assertions about gravity inertia! B. I cited exactly how and with what you can measure the changes with if you would bother to address MM MG & SAGNAC you might begin to start to get a clue about how silly your whole world view realy is. C. Making assumptions about things to interpret data with and then using those interpretations to "validate" those assumptions is not science even if you call it science that is a circular fallacy by definition! Your use of relativistic concepts to interpret plain experiments and observations then with then use those interpretations to validate those concepts is shamefully ridiculous!.. Rather then see this you appear quite content to bathe in ignorance and out right foolishness (by definition of those terms) This is a thread I created and I have addressed and demonstrated all the assertions I created. You are the one who has failed to address mine...not the other way around! Here are some again so as to give you yet another oportunity to see the problems that lay at your door not mine........ 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"? Can you see/appreciate the full extent of your/MS problem(s) now? ----- Original Message ---- From: Paul Deema <paul_deema@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, April 1, 2008 8:09:43 AM Subject: [geocentrism] Re: Acceleration calcs Allen D From: Allen Daves <allendaves@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, 31 March, 2008 5:35:06 PM Subject: [geocentrism] Re: Acceleration calcs "The fairies are in my garden ...you just can’t see or detect them"... Spurious. Paul, as Regner said ""Science is not the knowledge - it's the method."...........Now how do you demonstrate not merely assert your positions & with acceleration?...I'm the one who made the assertion of detectable acceleration in all cases...I then demonstrated and cited experiments that in-fact show my conclusions to be the case. You asserted but I'm unaware of any demonstration or citations. (Could have been lost in the verbiage of course). if thoes conclusions are to simplisitc because they use WYSIWYG then the burden of proof is on you to show that they are in fact not just imagined to be somthing other then WYSIWYG. Standard Allen Daves defensive response. You have yet to do that excet top say "well it could be" I have never said of anything -- "well it could be". ....Further, I demonstrated that all your attempts at alternative explanations are nothing more then exercise in circular falicy invoking the very thing in question as proof of itself as well as total contradictions of terms and concepts. Standard Allen Daves defensive response. The burden of proof is on you not me... Standard Allen Daves defensive response. so where & how you think 'green' and 'red' comes in to any of this is completly beyond me?.... Read the Proposition again (or perhaps read it for the first time?) I don’t have to show anything more then what I have already asserted and demonstrated. You've done a lot of asserting but no demonstrating. You however, have as of yet demonstrated nothing!...........Invoking relativity as your position is utterly ridiculous I don't understand most of relativity. I'd hardly make it my position. ..why?... because relativity is your position Paul.. I don't understand most of relativity. I'd hardly make it my position. wake up!? Some of us are getting pretty tired of your paternalistic, patronising and arrogant outbursts. Neither can you cannot separate the HC/AC assertion from relativity and quoting relativity does not prove or even demonstrate relativity or HC/ AC or anything for matter!? Third time. See above. Your "scientific method" is ntohing more then a circular falicy, Second time. See above. otherwise demonstrate first then make assertions....not as you do.......... assert first and then claim as you do, It is thus shown!? Huh? For the third time. As you've not just admitted but loudly proclaimed that an accelerometer can and does register its own acceleration due to gravity, a position I have been challenging for some weeks without relevant response from you, I ask you again to address this proposition - Proposition -- an accelerometer can be used to show increasing and decreasing velocity -- acceleration -- of a body in elliptical orbit about its primary. Setting -- the Universe consists of our Solar System's star (Sol) and a space-worthy vehicle (the vehicle) in an elliptical orbit of semi major axis 150 * 10^9 m The space-worthy vehicle consists of a 1 kg sphere of lead equipped with an accelerometer and painted red. Accelerometer -- two types - Type One consists of a reference mass suspended by a spring or springs, the extension and/or compression of which are an analogue of any acceleration experienced. Type Two consists of a reference mass external to the vehicle and having a start velocity identical with that of the vehicle. The distance between the vehicle and the reference mass, and the elapsed time, is measured on board the vehicle for the purpose of calculating acceleration. We will use the Type Two accelerometer which consists of a 1 kg sphere of lead painted green. At apogee (t = 0) with a distance of 100 m separating the vehicle and the reference mass (the red and green spheres respectively) we begin the inward half of the orbit translation. Task -- explain, demonstrate, calculate or in some other manner show, at perigee, whether the red sphere has gained upon, lost to, or maintained position relative to, the green sphere.
