not to continue to barage u bonz but, another bothersome trait i'm sure you are aware of is the mechanics of the expansion itself. <br /><br />you would still need to decide if this is a closed system or open one (infinite or finite, universally). that matters.<br /><br />also, how does the expansion inside said system operate physically, subatomically? matter being expanded requires certain laws. what is keeping it together, without breaking a conservation of energy law, which if not put in, means entropy would never ever have allowed the formation of even the simplest elements and particles.<br /><br />i think i said before, you're entering the realms of string theory here, or one very much in tune with it. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Frankly I this is classical example of circular argument.Prechers use these type of arguments.We require subthread on logic.It difficult to teach logic.

from wikipedia:<br /><br />Universal expansion according to Big Bang Model<br /><br />"The scale factor, parameter of Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker model, is a function of time which represents the relative expansion of the universe. It relates physical coordinates (also called proper coordinates) to comoving coordinates.<br /><br /> L = lambda ; a(t)<br /><br />where L is the physical distance, Lambda; is the distance in comoving units, and a(t) is the scale factor.<br /><br />The scale factor could, in principle, have units of length or be dimensionless. Most commonly in modern usage, it is chosen to be dimensionless, with the current value equal to one: a(t0) = 1, where t is counted from the birth of the universe and t0 is the present age of the universe: 13.7+/-0.2 Gyr.<br /><br />The evolution of the scale factor is a dynamical question, determined by the equations of general relativity, which are presented in the case of a locally isotropic, locally homogeneous universe by the Friedmann equations.<br /><br />The Hubble parameter is defined:<br /><br /> H = {dot{a}(t) over a(t)}<br /><br />where the dot represents a time derivative."<br /><br /><br /><br />under this equation the universal expansion doesn't expand matter itself, but the space between. now under your theory, using earth's rate as a means to discover 'actual' rate for <i>all</i> matter, it is isotropic in nature for the matter itself.<br /><br />but that is not what we observe. galaxies are moving away from one another. there is a force at work and an expansion with a constant cannot incorporate such an observation into its equation.<br /><br />in your model you have stated that the two body system is obsolete regarding a force. Two galaxies moving away from one another would then require some celestial pinwheel by which the galaxies due to mass and spin aquire inertia enough to seperate from their relative expansion. but this still doesn't explain how galaxies are aquiring exponential velocities (n <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

In the South Seas there is no Moon tide only a Sun tide for some Islands.<br />Moon/sun tides can occur once twice or four times a day.

OK I see what you're getting at.<br />There was no BB it is going on <b>right now</b> & everything is expanding including space.<br />By now <i>everything</i> is infinite in size.<br />Well I grew up using the c.g.s. system which was similar, in straight lines being on the circumference of a circle of infinite radius. We could all see a distance between railway lines but they were still on an infinite circumference. <br />Well infinity is infinity not a number & fits your idea, so that's OK except for that darned pi being everywhere.<br />So according to you with everything being infinite in size all must be straight lines.<br />Aha! you're a <b>FLAT EARTHIST</b> <img src="/images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

<font color="yellow"><br /><br />Now, back to curved paths: can you do explain why the moon completes a 360 degree orbit about the earth? All you've done so far is state that it does. <br /></font><br /><br />i've explained ad nauseum. <br /><br />the two objects are expanding towards each other, as all objects are. in free-floating space, there is only relative motion between bodies. there is no inherent inner gravitational force. <br /><br />as long as an object, such as the moon, has enough velocity to overcome the earth's expansion rate, it will orbit the earth and not "crash" into it. the moon perpetually overcomes this "falling into the earth" demise by just, just having enough specific geometrically "sweet" attributes that it stays aloft. otherwise, like the falling stone that fails to overcome the relatively larger expansion of earth, it would come to the earth. <br /><br />change the parameters again, giving the moon an entirely different geometry, it may fly off into deep space. but the moon is held in a balance between it's own relative velocity to the earth and the expansion of the earth towards it.<br /><br />long ago, in all likelihood, the earth/moon were one rotating disc of matter. as the disc coalesced and clumped, the earth and the moon were created, maintaining this geometry for aeons, forming a barycentre of mass between the two distinct bodies. <br /><br />that's it. do i need to explain it again?

you haven't realy explained, you've stated.<br /><br />Now, onto my critique:<br /><br />If the moon maintains a constant distance from the earths "expanding" surface (which is expanding so as to produce a constant apparent acceleration) it cannot do so by maintaining a constant velocity. The moon must be under constant acceleration equal to earths, away from earth, in order to maintain that height by merits of motion alone.<br /><br /><br />here's an example of your merely stating that it stays aloft <blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr /><p>just having enough specific geometrically "sweet" attributes that it stays aloft<p><hr /></p></p></blockquote><br /><br />Right...and that means what? You don't really explain anything with that. What attributes? How do these differ from a rock? How does a rocket transition from a thrown rocks set of attributes to one's sufficient for orbital flight?<br /><br /><br />Also, how in your expansion paradigm did the matter for the earth and moon coalesce and clump? And how come that same mechanism doesn't cause the moon and earth to clump together now? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p align="center"><font color="#c0c0c0"><br /></font></p><p align="center"><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">--------</font></em></font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">--------</font></em></font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">----</font></em></font><font color="#666699">SaiphMOD@gmail.com </font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">-------------------</font></em></font></p><p><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">"This is my Timey Wimey Detector.  Goes "bing" when there's stuff.  It also fries eggs at 30 paces, wether you want it to or not actually.  I've learned to stay away from hens: It's not pretty when they blow" -- </font></em></font><font size="1" color="#999999">The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

Hmm.<br /><br />You keep describing acceleration as if it was a force at a distance, and it isn't. Acceleration (unless some other qualifying conditions) is experienced only by the observers within it's frame of reference.<br /><br />You travel by the stationary me in space, 25 feet away, under 4 gees acceleration. You feel it; I do not. I am <i>that</i> close and I feel no acceleration, because I am not in your frame of reference. I don't care if you're expanding, contracting, or doing the hokey pokey. Acceleration is an <i>equivalent</i> to gravity, but still not the same thing. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

you're going in circles with this.<br /><br />with relative motions and expanding objects, the earth/moon is not clumping together because of the very nature of their relative motions to each other. their relative motions prevent the other from slamming into the other, even though both bodies are expanding in proportion to each other. <br /><br />this <i>is an explantion</i>. it's just as much of an explanation as asking "where did you get those scratches on your arm?" and i answer "from the cat." and that's that. the attributes are the bodies' relative motions to each other because that is all that exists in space: relative motion. there is no "absolute momentum" or "absolute motion," ie, a straight line, via Newton. there is no absolute state of rest. there is no absolute momentum. there is no straight line path that gravity acts upon. <br /><br />if you throw up a rock, with your arm strength, it will not overcome the expading earth. the free-floating rock will soon meet the earth as it expands up to the rock. if you were able to throw the rock hard enough, it may overcome the earth's expansion enough to reach "escape velocity." but this entirely depends upon how much strength is behind the throw of the rock. <br /><br />there is no guarantee that the rock will go into orbit or fly off into space. but it could do either depending upon the specific angle you throw it, and the velocity at which you threw it. when they take the space shuttle up, for example, they compute these parameters for orbit insertion using v<sup>2</sup>R=K --as this denotes the natural behavior of objects in space. nowhere is mass known, nowhere is gravity known. nowhere is centripetal force associated. orbits are not analogous to rocks on strings. if you believe in centripetal force insofar as orbital mechancis as related to "gravity", you believe in a <i>lie.</i><br /><br /><font color="yellow">The moon must be under constant acceleration equal to earths, away from earth, in order to maintain that hei</font>

acceleration is gravity. <br /><br />you raise good points about relative motion and the hokey pokey. you are correct in that, for all purposes, one object may be "stationary" while the other is moving, and vice versa. which one is really moving? <br /><br />for all purposes, you could be the moving one, 25 feet away, stationary. there is no absolute state of rest in the cosmos. there is only <i>relative motion between bodies.</i> you will feel 4g if you are constantly accelerating to maintain that experience. you will not if you are coasting. <br /><br />a coasting object can effectively maintain distance on a trajectory away from an expanding body, as long as the speed and direction of the coasting body, like the Pioneer craft, is fast enough and far enough way. <br /><br />given enough time, however, the constantly accelerating expansion of a body, ie, the solar system, will <i>eventually catch up to it.</i> it may take a long, long time, because Pioneer is very, very far away and going very, very fast. but it is no longer accelerating. some day, long from now, it will be overtaken and probably go into orbit about the sun. <br /><br />

Okay, I have it. Finally a purely mathematical proof that Bonz's theory can't work.<br /><br />Alright, so one of Bonz's assumptions is that the moon and the earth are increasing at the same rate, i. e. in the time that the earth doubles in size, the moon also doubles in size.<br /><br />So the ratio of earth's radius to the moon's radius must at all times be the same. Let's call it k. This means that k must be the same at t = 0, t = 1, etc.<br /><br />Let's see if it holds up. Let's take t = 0 and t = 86, 400 (the number of seconds in a day) and check k to see if it is indeed the same.<br /><br />Let t be time, R the radius of earth, r the radius of the moon, G be "gravitational" acceleration on the earth, g be "gravitational" acceleration on the moon, and k be the ratio of the earth's radius to the moon's radius.<br /><br />At t = 0<br />R = 6, 378, 100 m<br />r = 1, 737, 400 m<br />G = 9.8 m/s^2<br />g = 1.6 m/s^2<br /><br />So we calculate k = R/r and get 3.67<br /><br />At t = 86, 400<br />We find the new radii. We know the new radius will be = old radius + 1/2at^2. So let's calculate<br /><br />New R = Old R +Gt^2/2 = 6, 378, 400 + (9.8)(86, 400)^2/2 = 36, 584, 682, 100 m<br /><br />New r = Old r + gt^2/2 = 1, 737, 400 + (1.6)(86, 400)^2/2 = 5, 973, 705, 400 m<br /><br />Now let's calculate k at t = 86, 400. According to Bonz, it should be the same<br /><br />k = 36, 584, 682, 100/5, 973, 705, 400 = 6.12<br /><br />In other words k is not the same at t = 0 as it is at t = 86, 400, whick SHOULDN'T be the case according to Bonz, but it is. Under Bonz's assumpsions k would have to be the same at all times in order for proportions to remain the same. But under his other assumptions (the outward acceleration is constant) this cannot be the case.<br /><br />QED
