Latter, In both GR and SR, it is the relationship of the observer and the object being observed that accounts for the perceived positional changes. If you were positioned upon the cannonball, you would observe the cannon and the Earth retreating away from you, stopping, and then accelerating...

latter, Lets expand the envelope of the observation of the cannonball just a bit. Lets say you threw the cannonball vertically with such a velocity that it could go 1000 miles high before it comes to its peak and momentarily "stops". Since it has no ability of its own to further accelerate...

DaleSpam, Your analogies are good, but they also show the possibilities for further experimentation. For instance, let's say gravity between the sun and the Earth is static as you say and under tension and distorted, it is nevertheless still a continuous connection between the two bodies. As...

Russell E, Thank you for your point by point explanation. But just a few more questions though. Does the article : http://iopscience.iop.org/0004-637X/590/2/683/fulltext agree with or disagree with the Fomalont and Kopeikin experiment? If there in no apparent aberration in the gravity force...

Russell E, Nearly all of the responses to this experiment have apparently been made from theory only, and with an irritation that an attempt is being made at possibly showing that the GR theory may be in need of reconsideration. Well my "agenda" is to try to establish a repeatable...

DaleSpam, Then I guess the goal is to develop the apparatus and methods to make second-order experiments, correct? You say my proposed experiment is a first-order one. How so? Regards, Bob.

DaleSpam, The synopsis of the article is that the experiment to prove that speed of gravity supposedly is the speed of light using Juptier and the distant celestial body signals, did not succeed to show the speed of gravity, but only reaffirms the GR speed of light, and that the speed of...

cesiumfrog, Maybe this article you'll find satisfactory for the explanation. http://crib.corepower.com:8080/~relfaq/grav_speed.html Please read up on the function of the assumption and intuition in the process of theory evaluation. It is not what you may think. All accepted "facts" start...

All, You may use whatever terminology you wish and apply whatever theories that are of interest to you, but what I am trying do is engineer and construct an apparatus for the purpose of detecting and Earth time frame referencing the gravity pull of the sun. You guys can help by making...

cesiumfrog, For an answer to your question; Originally Posted by 1bobwhite "We know the sun's actual position is eight minutes shifted from the observed position" "Do we know it? Can you cite some reference to show that fact isn't just false?" I an using information from...

ZapperZ, Sorry, I missed the entire reference. It is J. Gabelli et al., Science v.313. p.499 (2006) Violation of Kirchhoff's Laws for a Coherent RC Circuit. Abstract:What is the complex impedance of a fully coherent quantum resistance-capacitance (RC) circuit at gigahertz frequencies in...

Thank you ZapperZ for introducing these new peer-review papers. This one is of particular interest to me. I believe I may have some insight into this issue. In the normally constructed RC circuits using discrete components, the reactions of the individual components to signal frequency...

All, Once again I am NOT trying to detect or explain gravity "WAVES". And yes, todays absolute gravimeters have the sensitivities necessary for this experiment to proceed. By the way, these gravity waves are still only a theory, yet so many people have described their properties, how they...

Hi DrGreg, Yes it is true, the Earth rotates instead of the sun going around the earth, but for experimental purposes the sun still goes to its zenith at a certain TIME of the day. Its brightness is of no concern other than to trigger the sensor at the precise TIME it is at its zenith. The...

Hi Ich, By this experiment, I'm not trying to show what gravity is or isn't, but just trying to record the solar gravity effect upon the Earth in a time frame that can be compared to the light arriving from the sun.
