Physical Phenomenon are only pro HC if you assume ther rest of HC's theroies about everything else in mechanics first..... I would argue that the nature of gravity would be important for answering that question regardless of GC or HC/AC .......even in the the AC construct they don't claim to know what causes gravity they only claim to understand how gravity works but the explanation is only valid and reasonable if the AC construct is true ..to simple make observations of what happens does not tell us how it works although it can indicate such but even then that is limited depending on what overall construct to subscribe to....A gravity that pushes obviously works differently then one that pulls AC assumes a pull model where I would argue that the only logical conclusion that can be made based on actual O&E is a push model. Further, I would also suggest that O & E favor gravity as vibration within the firmament itself where at 22 thousand miles from the approx center (earth) is a ring node just as in the case of the ringed patterns of sand on the sound board..i would also point out that in last weeks NS the problematic discovery for MS that the universe appears to conform to fractal geometry and distribution ......fractals have meaning in terms of design as well as music and in this case vibrations within a ridged medium...........ummm ..I am convinced that is what gravity is.. That model is a completely different model of gravity then Newtonian which as Martin so eloquently pointed out that it is known to be in error by, more exactly, 1.11 part in 300..so what gravity is does have a major Bering on how gravity works which in turn would determine whether or not the trial and error or observations of certain phenomena are indeed conforming to HC or to something else altogether ?I would argue that although one can view GC in terms of Newtonian gravity via berry centers and such the O& E favor a completely different model altogether ..However, in any case the Newtonian Gravity model only favors HC is you assume the rest of HC as true as well. That?s the questions that get begged?. The thing is that in order to break the HC/AC hold we are going to have to address the universe in whole not in just individual parts and attempt to argue part for part because the parts individually can be interpreted from both HC or GC and in some case may seem to favor GC or HC but the real problem is making them all sing together harmoniously as one chorus of O&E ??not merely a bunch of individual parts??..The nature and Mechanics of Gravity is the glue that holds the whole universe together.. Gravity is the Key! Particular when you consider the fact that within the GC framework the concept of the Ether & or firmament from our perspective describe bodies that are placed in a ridged frame work not just free floating in space and bound by some abstract Newtonian gravity. Sooner or latter we are going to have to address that head on and pick sides not just assert Mach?s principle if we are to hold true to the creators word. This would be to our great advantage since it is in consistent with O& E. Again that is a very basic foundation that holds us together as a group namely a Ordered/ structured universe originated by a designer ( and his word) not merely a random set of variables that coalesced together to produce order?.Having stated that I must stress that frames of reference are the issue and gravity is the key to understanding/describing an proving accurately as possible what we observe in things such as GC sats as well as fractal distribution of mass and ultimately proving the nature of the universe itself?. That cannot be done external of a correct and proper understanding of Gravity not just the fact that the nature of gravity determines those effects but how and why they work that way. I believe we started and have a good foundation to work from based on O&E , at least far more O&E then the simply assertions for pull Newtonian frameworks. I believe we are going to have to attack the issue of Gravity first at least foremost in the short term if we are going to be able to explain why and how galaxies keep their spirals external of DM and DE, which if we do not address will themselves become just one more set of weeds in the way,?as well as why GC Sats stay up and the fractal nature of the observable universe??. Gravity will be and is the KEY to all of this especialy RFs. In short GC stats stay up there because gravity does not work the way HC/AC describes it in the first place. At 22k miles high is a vibrational ring node just like the ones we saw in the video.. Notwithstanding, even if gravity worked according to HC/AC Mach?s principle applied to Newtonian gravity in HC/AC would equivocate the two models although it is easier to justify a Godless random construct in that model. Where within the firmament vibrational model of gravity the HC/AC construct would be more difficult to justify an equivalence in terms of a random Godless universe. Although this would fall short proof for many it would affect the important but very subtle issue of bias for most. It would in any case be more consistent with O&E as well as His word.

Allen and Philip, Gentlemen, I feel that your discussion is drifting. In my opinion, the essence of your debate is contained within the following: [P - red] We don't need to talk about frames of reference. keep the discussion on basic mechanics.. [A - blue] Well gee..if we take that approach we dont even need to talk about mechanis in order to discover the reasons why and what the mechanics are either ? Frames of refernce are what the whole HC/AC myth is built on to explain why the sun only looks like it is moving accross the sky but it is realy an illusion.....Gee wiz what relevant O&E do you want to talk about in this discovery process?...this is about as basic as it gets in terms of HC/AC V GC......Lets just There is only one reference point.. Its here. That?s my point! and if we hold to what you suggest here then H/AC can't appeal to multiple RF...... if it cannot ................well even they would admit the whole HC/AC thing would fall apart real quick............If you want to stick to that great! ....I'll even let Phil Platt and or Einstien himself make the case........I suggest you read Mach's "The principle of mechanics" and "Principles of Relativity" the whole point is to define Multiple equivalent RF so as to, among other things, make light Isotropic in the universe so as to explain the Sagnac, MM, MG, whcih were and are "real" O&E, away.. .....RFs are not a side issue they are the issue........ Relative v Absolute....... Your methodology is damaging to the cause, because it lacks credible thought processing and smacks of flat earther reasoning. plm No because you can actually O&E earths roundness......you can't actually O&E the universes isotropic nature...although you can imagine that .... You have both made some good points, but is not the core of this the identification of some physical process that tends to favour the HC/AC model over the GS (geostationary) model? I believe that many observations favour the GS model, but I also see one such physical phenomenon that supports the HC/AC position, and that is the geosynchronous satellite. For, whatever gravity is caused by and whatever equation you want to describe its effect with, why does the geosynchronous satellite simply "fall down" in a GS universe?
