Paul,, 1. I stated accelerometer and even specified a particular kind of which your question dose not address.....? 2. YOU GOTA BE KIDDING!?...If you do an experiment as you shown in your diagram with a bomb and a mass on a spring you will most assuradly without question be able to measure the acceleration....You should try it sometimes??????.....Most any highschool physics student has performed that experiment before ....It works on the vomit rocket too.....free fallllllllllll ..!? 3. The only time you could not detect the acceleration is if you A. reach terminal velocity first then attempt to measure using a mass on a sping, then eveything is free falling together ...... or B. Try to measure the acceleration rate of the free fall itself once you are in the free fall...HOwever even then any and all changes to that free fall can and will be detected even by a mass on a spring......so take the acceleration rate of the bomb first put it in free fall then measure the rate...you cannot with the mass on the sping......however now change that rate of that free fall as in the case of the earth around the sun it is always changing.......either a positive accleration rate change (eg toward the sun.) or a negitive accleration rate (eg away from the sun)... Although we should not expect to detect the acceleration rate of the body in free fall as long as the rate NEVER CHANGES.....but the rate must change for a orbit....gravity does not pull on all parts of the earth equaly if it did then you could not have things such as weather patters and planitary bulges explained by non gravitaion!?................However in the case of the earth since the freefall is toward then away from a mass there is a postive accelration curve and a negitive acceleration curve....just as in the gravitational explinations of planitary bulges...and tides?????....ummmmmmmm.....changes in acceleration/ rate and pull of Gravity can be measured because the acceleration rate of the mass on the earth is in constent change througout the earths orbit and roation......IF AND ONLY IF the acceleration rate never changed and gravity pulled on all parts of the earth equaly then and only then would you not expect to measure any accelration since everything would be acceleration at a terminal velocity in free fall at the same rate with no changes ever.....but then again you would not be able to appeal to ties and bulges as effects of gravitaion for thoes are do to un-equal gravitaional forces on a mass.......Your argument must either accept that gravity is both acting on all mass simoltaniously or it is not....If it is qual to all parts simoltaniously then you have no explinations for tides/ planitary bulge, if it does not then you have no arguemnt for a freefalling objects in a gravitational field........because a free faling object in a gravitaional feild has no fundimental differnce then the ocean water that is free falling toward the sun at the same rate as every other particle of mass on the earthis....UMMMM...Wake up! Again....any change in inertia is and can be detected free fall or not?? ...This holds true for a bomb suspended then relesed to free fall or in a orbiting body unless the orbiting body maintains a constent acceleration or reaches a terminal velocity, where no more acceleration or changes in velocity are taking place... that is not the case with the earth or the bomb....and gusse what it holds true not matter how many "inertial frames" you attempt to create. ----- Original Message ---- From: Paul Deema <paul_deema@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2008 10:59:40 AM Subject: [geocentrism] Re: acceleration calcs Allen D I should have known better than to ask supplementary questions so I guess I should have expected a detour which fails to arrive at the point at issue. That point is -- "How does a mass on a spring indicate acceleration in free fall?" I'm not interested in how muddy your strange logical contortions can make the waters, I just want an explanation of how a mass on a spring can be used to measure acceleration in free fall. I'm not interested in what "mathpages" says about ring lasers, I'm interested in hearing from you, how you would use a mass on a spring to measure acceleration in free fall. And anyway, why should I be interested in a site that has been derisively dismissed as having value only as a source of humour by your confederate Robert Bennet of GWW fame. Please stop posturing and demonstrating to everyone just how much cleverer you are than I and answer the simple question -- How do you use a mass on a spring to demonstrate and/or measure acceleration in free fall? Feel free to use the accompanying illustration in your explanation.

(In a sense one might say that the process is self-calibrating). The beat frequency will be zero if and only if the ring laser setup is non-rotating with respect to inertial space." .......LOL....although they are right about no need for calibration...the underlined portion is quite laughable!.......You can take any ring laser turn it off wait and go to some other "INERTIAL SPACE"...LOL.. ......say the sun...... then turn it on.....and it will still give you the motion wrt the earth......ummmmmm ;-( Clue: "Inertial space" is a Relativist term & concept not only has it never been proven but it only has any validity whatsoever in GTR/STR!....if GTR and STR are wrong then there is no such monsters..period!...............You cannot use a relativistic axiom (statements of faith in GTR & STR) to claim an effect is a relativistic effect (because youʼve put your faith in that axiom & in GTR/ STR)then use that effect to prove relativity is Valid!?..You must first prove the axiom is true first external of relativity is true before you can use it to prove resistivity!!!!...Resistivity does not bother to do that ...why? Because they are stupid...NO!..Because the Axiom is self-evident!......What do we mean by self-evident?.......IF IT WERE NOT TRUE THEN THE COPERNICAN PRINCIPLE WOULD BE FALSE....ummmmmmmm.........I thought that is what we were trying to prove one way or the others.....?????? ..What part of circular nonsense do you not understand? Final clue: Relativity is wrong! ....wikipedia's explanation is based on relativity, therefore it's explanation is........... wrong! Science has many underlying assumptions..nothing wrong with assuming some things we all must....but...you would do yourself a big favor by looking for those and asking the question why do we assume that?.....The reason should be clear by now......without the Copernican principle as a underlying assumption there is no GTR?STR.....NO GTR/STR then absolutely no explanations for why the universe only looks centered on a stationary earth.... This is why at the end of the day folk like Fed Hoyle & Hawking must appeal to "Modesty" ...still donʼt get it?.....let me put for you in simpler terms.......Hawking knows a lot more physics then you do....wait for it that is not the punch line....here it comes..........and he fully understands that Relativity cannot be proven and if cannot be proven can only be assumed but only for philosophical reasons... back to wekipedia.........You see as with a lot of "popular physics"(ignorance) the commonly touted explanations are not only wrong but even MS Science does not believe that junk although you have to do be a PhD candidate or do some serious research on your own to find what MS really thinks/ explains it......... Paul, you would have done far better if you appealed to mathapges, [*] far better more detailed formal and "scientifically acceptable" "proper" MS explanation....... but I will wait for that one.........:-) ----- Original Message ---- From: Paul Deema <paul_deema@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 7:44:07 AM Subject: [geocentrism] Re: acceleration calcs Allen D OK -- I looked here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagnac_effect and it confirms my understanding of Sagnac Effect (at least that part which I understand does -- the maths is beyond me) and I can't see why you would quote this in defence of your assertion that a quantum tunnelling accelerometer will indicate acceleration in free-fall. You did not quarrel with my simplification that ' ... it is still a mass on a spring!' so I discern your acceptance. I still want an explanation from you as to how a mass on a spring in a falling bomb case can indicate the local value of g (friction = zero).

Who in the world told you that....an accidemic or a theorotician certainly not anyone doing pratical real work with free falling objects becasue we can and do all day long?....That is the point to Sagnac 1913 suggest you look it up.........That assertion is based on GTR it is and was proven wrong. alas but then came STR it was invented to explain why that was still true even though experiments using light showed otherwise.....it did so by attempting to create "Inertial ref frames" for eletromagnetic radiation as well....alas but...that too was proven wrong too!... The only ones who accept & invoke it as gosple truth are theoreticans and acidemics. However, since the only other alternitive is to admit a stationary earth ......GTR & STR are thus the stus quo and will remain so untill somthing else can be found more phylosphicaly acceptable to explain why the earth only appears at the center of a universe staionary and only appears to have the/any and only motion relating to the earth measured sidrealy not annualy. STR attempted such an explination by ignoring or denying that any motion at all was and is ever measured coz it is in free fall/ inertial fames....but anyone who actualy performs an experiment with acceleration of objects in freefall knows that is absolutly not true!?..........You don't see you are using GTR axioms (statments of faith) to prop up the GTR Conclusion but you must use the GTR conclusion to "support" the axiom. GTR and STR have absolutly no foundation to them whatsoever without invoking the "Coperican principle" that was the whole point of their developement by Einstine and crew in the late 19th and early 20th century...? The problem is you can't invoke the very principle you are trying to "prove" or hold as self evident as the foundation for the theory that supposedly proves your principle...... that is not proof that is a circular falicy built opon faith in the copernican principle. the experiments show that objects in free fall the acceleration can be measured w/ort to anything outside of that free falling object.....!? Proof is in the application not in the theoretical and acidmemic retoric..... We do it all the time.... you can take a gyro that is not in motion here on the earth turn it off then turn it on once the freefalling object reaches its terminal velocity and .............wholaaaa......... i can tell you for a fact what the exact velocity and accelertaion of that free falling object is.......take that same gyro in object turn it back off and now put it into space....now turn it on...I can tell you the same things... acceleration and velocity if any and the difference between what it was before........................ You guys don't realise you are confusing text book assertions with the practical appications..... ----- Original Message ---- From: Paul Deema <paul_deema@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: Geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2008 9:17:18 AM Subject: [geocentrism] Re: acceleration calcs Allen D Concerning "Title:Quantum tunneling cantilever accelerometer" -- thank you for your agreement. My reading of this document tells me that it remains, for all its sensitivity, a mass on a spring. It may indeed register the tiniest of accelerations, but it will still read zero if it is not being accelerated. Wouldn't be much use if it did would it? As I don't have any idea how you expect it to read acceleration in free fall, why don't you favour us all with a short, concise, lucid explanation of how you understand this happening. I'm sure we'd all appreciate that. And as you raised the matter, a similar explanation of the uses of your favourite super-sensitive gyroscope would, I'm sure, also be appreciated by all. In case you have any doubts here, for mine, Regner said it all. Paul D Get the name you always wanted with the new y7mail email address.
