Thank you for responding noAxioms Did they ever do this experiment? What is it called? It seems that a very simple version would be a cylindrical mirr...

Thank you for responding noAxioms Oops; sorry...my mistake; Well, if they would have observed some fringe interference, the ether would have been vali...

Thank you for replying,noAxioms That’s exactly what I feel; there’s nothing meaningful...I don’t have any problems with the addition of the two vector...

ok, that didn't work....for now, I will just copy some extract until we can figure out what can be done. The general science journal The Double-Star E...

Thank you for replying,noAxioms .... I sent a post concerning this in the “The Newtonian gravitational equation seems a bit odd to me" thread. Ok, I s...

I looked up on how to solve vector addition problems Already,I don't seem to understand this addition of vectors http://www.lon-capa.org/~mmp/kap6/cd1...

Thank you for responding noAxioms Yes, I do have a hard time with the “velocity” concept, but the reason I use the term is due to the fact that I need...

Thank you for responding noAxioms, I appreciate it. From what I understand, in the M&M experiment, the velocity of the light would be c through all pa...

Thank you for replying PhilosophyRunner However, by taking out the ether, it seems that Einstein was sort of claiming at the same time that light migh...

Thank you for responding, noAxiom I agree with what you wrote, except, the Newtonian model would have predicted a null result as Newton believed that ...

Thank you for responding, Alan: I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand what you’ve written down. I haven’t read about spin values within any M&M experime...

Thank you noAxioms, and good post; I think that I'm not sufficiently prepared when discussing vectors, and so I'll read more on the issue.. Thank you ...

Thank you for responding noAxioms Maybe it’s not a law, I don’t know. but I did hear of Galileo’s law of falling bodies... if Newton has three laws of...

Thank you for responding Erich I may have; although I did mention the direction as being "towards each other".. Yes; I will need to look up vector mat...

Thank you for replaying PhilosophyRunner Yes, I will do that; and thank you again for your time. Grampa Dee

Thank you for responding noAxioms While I do understand that “g” as such is a constant, g is used as a form of measurement for other planets as well. ...

Thank you for responding noAxioms Ok; I’ll try to remember to use “a” instead :) ...but I did see some charts which identify planets using g in the sa...

thank you for replying noAxioms Yes; of course...my mistake in writing 1 dimensional problem as being Newtonian...I was thinking of freefall. I unders...

Thank you for responding PhilosophyRunner I would agree that car A is accelerating at 3m/^s^2 and car B is accelerating at 5m/sec^2 relative to the ro...

Thank you for replying,noAxioms I agree with you; I certainly am not trying to give a 3 dimensional situation where one might have some partial deriva...

I went through the example, and I will try to explain how I have understood to the best of my ability.what was written.....I'm not claiming to be corr...

Thank you for replying, noAxioms I will try to do that noAxiom...I’m not well versed in the scientific terminology . I agree with you, but don’t under...

Thank you PhilosophyRunner Yes, I will.... Thank you again. Grampa Dee

Thank you for replaying, PhilosophyRunner ok; I think we might be going somewhere. When we measure the acceleration of the rock towards the earth, are...

4 ? r², being the surface area of a sphere, would be dependent to the surface Acceleration M / 4 ? r² = A * constant....It was meant to what you have ...

Thank you for replying,PhilosophyRunner No, I am asking how is it that we do not include the acceleration of the earth caused by the second mass? Gram...

Thank you for responding noAxiom I view gravity as a potential for movement observed as the weight of a body, if the mass is stationary, located at a ...

I understand the case for the dense moon would be extreme....would you have a problem with the equation I have written to Pantagruel? M / 4pi * r ^2 =...

Thank you for responding noAxiom I fully agree with your description noanxiom, but to claim that the increased acceleration due to the earth moving up...

Thank you for responding Pantagruel I don't understand how they can have the same acceleration, Pantagruel. That's the problem that I have. Grampa Dee

I'm sorry, Pantagruel, I might very well be misunderstanding what you're saying. I do agree that the overall force will vary with different masses. My...

Thank you for replaying Pantagruel Maybe you could help me in this area. The way I see it would be that Mass (the earth) gravitational energy will be ...

Thank you for responding Pantagruel: I personally see this as being only part of the equation since the falling bodies should attract the earth as wel...

Thank you for your response, unenlightened Yes, I would agree with that as well; my concern is the Galileo assumption that the mass of a falling body ...

Thank you Pierre - Normand; it's now clear as a bell :) I was impressed with you're mathematical juggling and I understood everything you did.

Hello Pierre Normand; how are you? Thank you again for this interaction. Pierre Normand wrote ....within our first exchange....I think :) The time req...

Hello Pierre-Normand, nice to hear form you again I don't think I have any problem with upper statement. I was able to visualize the situation using (...

Ok...Maybe this is where I’m off the rail.I was visualizing the light going to the mirror as traveling a distance vt further away from the length of t...

ok: Would vt_2 be equal to -vt? This is where it gets foggy for me; you seem to divide by a relative velocity (c+v) instead of adding another distance...

Thank you for your time and patience, Pierre Normand . Yes; thank you...I always think of gamma as being the SQRT 1 – v^2 / c^2, but it’s actually the...
