Re 1: Why not burn the gunk under the sea? Ouch! Someone didn't like my last post - an annoyed reply to Topher925's unhelpful, innaccurate &, in my view, time and space wasting reply to mine. Sorry about that, but I'd already got a similarly innaccurate reply from an ego-head and know-it-all...

Didn't say it solved the problem - it vastly mitigates it, by about 100% if it can be made to work. Check out the http://technicalimpulse.tech.officelive.com/Documents/02b_GOD_UnderseaFlaringDome_AltTechRespFm_100527.pdf" and links therefrom. << comment deleted by Moderator >> All of those...

Why not burn the gunk under the sea ... Why not burn the gunk under the sea ... ... at the point of emanation ... ? Been a while since I visited physicsforums - hope my initial impression is wrong, and that the quality of posts hasn't generally gone down everywhere ... Some crazy ideas...

Er, Sammyu, isn't what you're talking about exactly the scenario given in http://gijxixj.home.att.net/Relativity/Image1.gif ? Btw, neither propellers (nor jet engines) work in space. ;-) Janus, your explanation seems awfully complicated. Surely it doesn't really matter that the station is...

Arcon: Thanks for your reply to my queries. I'm rusty as hell on most of this stuff, but thought I had a handle on it a few years ago. Your answers are pretty much as I expected them to be. ;-) In relation to your query in a later post: "I have a question for the entire group: Please...

Sammywu: The formula/e for circular orbits is/are given in the immediately preceding post to yours. Take your pick but version 2 or 3 are probably most appropriate. Take ver. 3: GAMMA = 1/ SQRT [ 1 + {v²esc/c²}{1 - 3R/2r} ]. If you know the escape velocity of the star (given, in case you...

Good stuff here. But ... tell me. Doesn't a given body moving with a certain speed relative to me not actually exert greater "gravitational" force on me as it passes by at a certain distance, than if it were stationary relative to me at that same distance? I mean at all speeds...

Actually russ, the formula(e) for circular orbits is(are) quite simple: The ratio of satellite time to planet or star time (actually planet/star time at its geographical poles only), for any circular orbit, is given by: GAMMA = 1/ SQRT [ 1 + GM/c²{2/R - 3/r} ] where G = Newton's...

Time "Rate" FASTER on Earth than Sun! aychamo: The idea that because the Earth is moving (whatever that means), that its time "rate" , (arguing on the ideas of Special Relativity) must be slowed relative to the Sun is erroneous. The opposite is in fact the case. As a matter of fact there...

Warren, you said: " We use the lowercase g to represent the metric, and lowercase x to represent coordinates. " Yes, I know, but then the subscripts look less like subscripts for us lazy sods who can't be bother latexing. By, the way, as far as I know, latexing also isn't a verb, at...

David Like some of your arguments, on the other hand have to agree at least partly with ambitwistor's critique of them: Summing over all possible values of i & j: S² = Ó GijXiXj, i,j run 1 to 2, Pythagoras in 2-D he say! (eg: X1 = 'normal' X coordinate length, X2 = 'normal' Y coordinate...

This is all so terribly confusing ... ... http://gijxixj.home.att.net/Relativity/GrSrTpSatExplns.htm ? I'm very dubious about accelerations not being a factor, or at least an easily discountable one. Question: If you accelerate, does the Principle of Equivalence not include the idea that...

No, it would be the theory of the small pea crunch. Alternatively if the peas were energetic enough, they might create a brane, then that would most likely end the universe as we know it, and could be called the "Pea-Brane" Theory of the little crunch. I thought that's what they were...

My inkling too ... May be it's related to the initial amount of energy, or energy "release" that kicked it all off. Whatever "energy" means.' Whatever "kicked it all off" means. ;-)

On the wrong track? Well, of course, if the train around the equator was earthbound and traveling west-wards it would experience a special relativity length expansion., though presumably not enough to take it off the rails. ;-) Dennis Revell
