A question about gravity
« on: July 09, 2009, 11:00:22 AM »
Many FE believe that because of dark energy we are accelerating at 9.8m/s.

But anyone can empirically verify that depending were you are standing this value can change. At the equator being roughly 9.78 and at the poles 9.83, or even at any other major city of the world, acceleration provided by gravity has been measured and shows significant differences.

Assuming that earth is flat, wont it be tearing apart because of this differences?

Ouch... That was very well thought. Let's see what FEers can invent this time...  ::)

Skeptic: your funny.  :)

Unfortunatley I have to tell you that this specific question has been asked allot on this forrum and a simple search of previous threads will show you that FET has no good way to answer for that problem. To be fair you should have searched other topics and chimed in on them rather than starting a new redundant thread.

However if there are any FEers that would like to try again I am very interested in seing what they come up with this time.

FET's general response is that the stars have a slight gravitational effect and the effect is stronger the higher you go.  Then you have Dogplatter who claims to have personally tested for gravitational variations at different elevations but he was unable to find any.  He has not provided any details of his experiment, so it's impossible to peer review his results.

:P

Nice one. But I must add that places near the equator which are not particularly elevated exhibit lower measurements of gravity than elevated places near the poles, when according to that argument it should be the opposite.

And even so, the earth should be tearing appart.

I believe he said it involved some balls and a container of water so he could more accurately time the balls' descent.

I don't know what you're implying, but you're probably wrong.

Yup, that's about the extent of his documentation.  He pretty much ignored repeated requests for more details.

i thought FE doesnt allow for gravity?

The fundamental particle hasnt been discoverd after all  ::)

Even though FE does not allow gravity and calls it inertial mumble jumble, the fact still remains that people experience a difference in acceleration depending were they are standing, one can even notice a change in his/her own weight when travelling to specific zones.

Any FEr care to explain, I love what you guys do.  :P

I think i found an answer to my own dilema :P.

But it will need FEr not to be so reluctant about gravity. It could even be called the FE-gravity unification theory  ;).

Lets start by assuming the earth is a flat disc but its deepness is variable. Earth is mostly accelerated by dark energy at roughly 9.8 m/s. But earth and its deepness also provides a very slight gravitational pull which explains the differences in measurements of gravity. With this in mind, one could even conjecture how the bottom of the earth looks like, but im too tired to develop further on this point.

FEr, agree? or im still a heretic?

HERETIC lol
I think what could be said here is that the dark energy accelerates differently in some places only for a short time. Like a dark matter "leak" in certain parts for a small amount of time. up to date acceleration readings in such places would be impossible, so the accelerations could change back to normal.

but i'm not a dark matter expert or an FE'er, so i'm wrong in some way (probably in assuming the earth is flat).

The equator exists at a slightly different altitude than the poles.

"Major cities" are sitting at slightly different altitudes in relation to each other.

I think it depends on the model; I'd imagine that in Infinite Plane FET this is consistent with the theory.
