I cried. It seems that even in the 40's the decline was beginning. I was infected. The teacher did half convince me that Science would fail without the most perfect of communication skills. Yet mob rule seems to have won, and perfect communication is no more. When University Professors so easily find nothing wrong with a "Kill-om-eter" science is very low indeed. And never more so have I been convinced of this , as when we dialogue with Allen. Phil said, "This is called synchronous rotation.." meaning in normal science as regards the moons rotation relative to its orbit around the earth. Allen opens up a rebuttal with, "Synchronous means more then one...OK " No Allen it does not mean more than one.. HERE IS THE GENERALLY ACCEPTED MEANING 1. occurring at the same time; coinciding in time; contemporaneous; simultaneous. 2. going on at the same rate and exactly together; recurring together. and in science, 3. Physics, and Electricity. having the same frequency (period) and zero phase difference. Hope that helps.. As I used the word rotation, here is another simple detailed restatement. When the rotational spin of the moon is in the plane of its orbit and has the same frequency as the orbit, with zero phase difference... It will always present the same face to the primary. Alan asks? "WHAT IS & IS NOT A ROTATION.(as it relates to any motion )"... You don't know! I have always considerd "rotation" as a body's spin around its own axis. such spin creating centrifugal force.. Rotation of a free body is not affected by any other motion of that body due to any other forces. ie it is an independent motion. If there is no centrifugal force , there is no rotation or spin.. Gerneral dictionaries confuse the issue, and Wiki often has to differentiate between false common usage, and the real defined technical term... Such is the sad state of affairs.. And we are all infected. So I am not criticising Allen if he has a communication problem. The dictionary says, Rotation : 1. the act of rotating; a turning around as on an axis. 2. Astronomy. a. the movement or path of the earth or a heavenly body turning on its axis. b. one complete turn of such a body. Notice the very bad presentation of English usage, where the word "path" is used. A rotating body is not an orbiting body, and has no path, unless there is some other movement .Also it is possible to rotate 20% of a turn, so b. above is incorrect. . The correct term to avoid confusion when speaking of motion in an orbit, is to "orbit".. An orbit is NOT a rotation.. It is independent of rotation. orbit Show phonetics verb [I or T] to follow a curved path around a planet or star: This dictionary fails to state that orbit is a mechanical term, not only applied to astronomy. We do have orbiting gears.. Cambridge dictionary mentions nothing of this? Another confusing term is revolve and revolution. often used interchangeably with spin (rotation) and orbiting. and gyrate also .. ... But whilst it is commonly used to say an orbiting body revolves around a centre, it is often confused with rotation.. Ie I've seen it said that a wheel revolves.. but this is because the wheel has a rim, which predominates in this usage. A rotating body should not be said to be revolving., even though it is quite acceptable to say a rotating body has so many revolutions per given time..... I have avoided wiki for definitions because wiki is accessed and modified by people who most often are not in command of good communication skills such as the English language. To obtain these definitions one must consult ancient books printed pre 1950, or thereabouts. All of the above is an introduction necessary to allow me define the difference in modern imprecise terms the true position. as regards orbit and rotation. Rotation is the angular turning of a body around an axis geometrically central to itself. Revolving, gyrating, or orbiting, is the angular turning of a body around an axis that is displaced from its centre, and which can be within or external to the body under discussion. Whether these motions are forced or natural has nothing to do with the definitions exactitude. A body may have both types of motion simultaneously, synchronised or otherwise.. But they are separate and independent motions.

The moon nor any place or object on the moon is not? Please let me explain what you seemed to have missed.. The simile of the experiment and the moon. 1. The moon floats in space and has no friction with its environment,, 2. As much as is possible, the water in the glass floats in the glass and has no friction with its environment... Yes there is friction, but for the short time of the experiment it is ignored as negligible. There are no particles on the moon 3. The moon has a face.. one of the craters representing the nose of the man in the moon are the particles on the moon which have orientation . This orientation is always pointed at the earth. 4. The toothpick in the water I put there because the water has no face or marks .. This represented the nose of the man in the water. 5. When I swung the bowl of water through 90degres of arc, representing 90 degrees of orbit, the inertia of the water kept it stationary, ie it did not spin.. It would not rotate. After 90 degrees of orbit, he face of the man was not still looking at me.. It was still pointing in the original direction. say N - S . 6. But when the moon moves through 90 degrees of orbit, it simultaneously turns 90degrees to keep its nose facing the centre of the orbit. This is called synchronous rotation.. Something the water inthe glass did not have. I could have tried to stir the glass of water enough to give the tooth pick floating in it a rotation ..Yes? spinning once per second? yes? And then moved it again around a 90 degree arc or a full circle if I was sober in the exact same one second.. Voiler the toothpick nose will now keep pointing at the centre of the arc, throughout the whole circle of orbit..... Why? Because I gave it a spin, a rotation if you like.. Why you insist in agreeing that it is spinning in the glass whilst stationary, , yet deny that it is spinning because I made it orbit at the same time ,,,, is well hmmm its perplexing...

I know Allen calls it imagination, but then that is what all text books are, but the graphical representation of imagined theory of operation. I know this is basic to you, but with all the complicated mumbo jumbo being floated, I need to make it clearer for the layman , who must be absolutely confused by now. Some base principles.. are in order .'' Keep in mind this is standard physics as demonstratable in any lab.. It does not include my exotic theories on the aether or concern itself with explaining geocentrism, which must fit with observable/measurable facts anyway 1. A body rotates around its centre of gravity. Where that is can only be presumed based upon calculation which accepts the constituents distribution of the mass of the body. It can be confirmed by actual observations of perturbations of orbits. A fairly accurate science as astronomical predictions often prove. Pretty good considering nobody but Jules has been to the centre of the earth to see what it is made of. 2. The rotation of the body is a motion experienced by the mass itself, and the magnitude of the effects of this rotation , ie the centripetal/centrifugal forces it experiences , is independent of any other object or observation. ie if there is no rotation there is no centripetal force. 3. At normal speeds. As a body moves in any direction, its motion does not alter the position of its centre of gravity.. therefore it must be accepted that any rotation around this centre of gravity is un perturbed by any motion of the body. i.e. the centripetal/centrifugal forces, remain unchanged . (this centrifugal force is the only indicator of real rotation, as observation with our eyes can be an illusion) . 4. From 3, it must be deduced that if a spherical body is set in motion around its axis through its centre of gravity, and kept in motion at exactly the same force, and rpm, and is then moved in an orbital path around a central point, it will continue to exhibit the same centrifugal forces due to initial rpm imparted to it. Now the moon needs no motor, as there is negligible friction to slow it down. 5. Further, if the orbital period just happened to be the same number as the rotational speed of the Sphere, then this coincidence will cause the sphere to present the same face to the centre of the orbit. This is a true mechanical representation .. There is no need for a primary planet if the motions are controlled on a bench top model .. In the case of the moon, it is a coincidence, ( God Planned) but in our experiment we can plan it to be that way. 6. But most assuredly, the centrifugal forces due to these rpm of the sphere will remain measurable and be exactly the same as they were when the sphere was revolving stationary before it was set in any motion. Keeping those basics in mind we now need to make a turntable , a record player is fine. Next we need a speherical mass like a marble that is vertically attached to a "frictionless " shaft through its central axis at the periphery of the turntable. Mark the marble so that any spin can be observed. Turn the turntable slowly.. You will see that the marble will not turn , but keep its face pointed in the direction it had at the beginning.. Of course the shaft friction will eventually effect this experiment. but the effect is proven . the marble will not rotate, and it will not present the same face to the centre as the turntable turns. This is not imagination I have done the experiment another way and proved it.. As can anyone interested. Hold a glass of water close to your chest . On the surface of the water is a floating toothpick pointing at you , just to let you see what happens to the water .. The friction between the water and the glass is negligible. Now turn yourself slowly a full circle if you want.. doesn't matter. You will see that the water will not rotate in the glass , and the tooth pick will keep its orientation..It will not keep pointing at you. In fact it is difficult to make the water spin this way. Now this tells you something else. I have long ago considered the forces involved here. Let us seize up the bearing in the marble with glue, so that it cannot keep its orientation. When you now turn the turntable, the marble will present the same face to the centre.. But what else? Can you not see the force being made to break the glue on the bearing, as the marbles inertia tries to keep its original orientation? Extra work is actually being done on the turntable to force the marble to spin. Now I will leave you all with a little thought experiment, which just occurred to me and which I havn't considered yet. How does relativity effect rotations.. keeping in mind the centrifugal forces mentioned above. Let us put the marble on the same central shaft of the turntable and spin them up to 100 rpm. The turntable will have a centrifugal force.. and the marble also will have its own centrifugal force due to its own mass. Now free up the marbles shaft and spin it in the opposite direction at exactly the same 100rpm. Will the marble appear stationary to us? Will its centrifugal force be any different? I think I got it already.... But then put the marble back on the periphery, and spin it up again in the opposite direction....
