SUMMARY

The discussion centers around Petrus's concept of "gravifugal force," which he claims is a revolutionary idea in physics. Critics question the validity of his claims, particularly the assertion that he patented a device violating conservation of momentum in 1989 without producing a prototype. Participants express skepticism about the scientific rigor of Petrus's arguments, citing vague terminology and a lack of empirical evidence. The conversation highlights the tension between innovative theories and established scientific principles.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics concepts, including centrifugal and centripetal forces.
  • Familiarity with conservation of momentum principles.
  • Knowledge of patent processes and scientific validation.
  • Ability to critically analyze philosophical claims in scientific discourse.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of conservation of momentum in classical mechanics.
  • Explore the historical context and implications of centrifugal and centripetal forces.
  • Investigate the process of patenting scientific inventions and the criteria for validation.
  • Examine the philosophical implications of scientific theories and their acceptance in academic circles.
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, engineers, philosophers of science, and anyone interested in the intersection of innovative theories and established scientific principles.

For a long time I am dealing with a gravifugal force. I am interesting in a your opinion in that matter.
My opinion you can find at.

Physics news on Phys.org
The fact that this guy starts of by talking about how brilliant he is and how he, personally, is sign of a "maturing" civilization is somewhat offputting.

An example: "Q Are you really a new Einstein, Tesla, Leonardo...?

A In one of the previous interviews, I have just explained my place and my function in this part of universe , and I can only repeat that explanation:

" At the first, God created the natural being, nature. After it, man has created the artificial being. Than, I came, and explained to them what they have done."

That together with the fact that asserts that he "revolutionized philosophy" and that, as a result, he was "excommunicated" from "academic society" (He was a professor of philosophy and history of art!) makes me tend to be cautious.

He states that he patented this marvelous device (essentially a flying machine that violates conservation of momentum) in 1989 but still hasn't built a prototype.



The rest of the paper is a lot of undefined terms, generalities, jargon and "philosophical" maundering.
 
You mean, Halls, that it's bogus?

I can not comment your ansver, but I like cautious people and critical mind. Your reaction is quite correct, but please, read slightly more carefully my article. It will be good for you and for me, and for other people too.
Thank you

Thank you for your answer.
That is a correct reaction, but slightly to fast

He states that he patented this marvelous device (essentially a flying machine that violates conservation of momentum) in 1989 but still hasn't built a prototype.


Reading more carefully you will see that it confirm "conservation of momentum" in the same way like the spin of stars in globular clusters.

Prototype, and measurements was not done only my me

""The rest of the paper is a lot of undefined terms, generalities, jargon and "philosophical" maundering."" [/B][/QUOTE]

Reading more carefuly you will also see your own words as wrong, incorrect.
Please read my article slightly more carefuly, specially equations.
Howewer, your answer is good written.

Petrus,

My view of you is that you play with the truth. For evidence I prsent the following quote from your site:

"Rather, it deals only with the distortions of man's perception, just like Epicycles Theory favored by Ptolemy, which was better, and more precise, experimentally proved than Einstein`s theory"

Very sincerely,

Richard
 
I'm with Halls, I don't think there's much substance in that page.

Cute. Translation: 'I'll try to convince you I'm right by decieving you (wanna buy my book?).'
 
Greetings,

You have made a certain statement from your website which appears to be the foundation of your theory. The statement is:

"When speaking about the gravifugal force we in fact refer to a certain sort of centrifugal force created by rotation in which gravity acts as centripetal (i.e.gravipetal) force."

My question #1: What specific rotational arrangement causes this effect?

My question #2: If this arrangement is in diagram or concept, surely it can be constructed and independently tested. Do you offer such?

I found nothing about epicycles on your site. Give me an exact link.

The only interesting thing I found was your request to send money.

1.Cohesipetal or solidopetal force enables mass of solid body to rotate is a pseudoforce. Its value directly depends on velocity of rotation of solid body F = mv(squared)/r. This force always is perpendicular to axis of rotation. Cohesifugal, or solidofugal force too.
Gravipetal force enabling mass of celestial body to rotate is fundamental force. It depends on mass of celestial body and radius R and not on velocity of rotation of celestial body.
Moreover,this force is inversely proportional with velocity of rotation of celestial body.
This force is perpendicular to axis of rotation only at the equator -- gravifugal force too.
2. Yes
Thank you for your very instructive and good questions.
Other people interesting in this matter can see details at the site:
http://www.geocities.com/agravity/ANTIGRAVITY.htm
Sincerely
Petrus
P.S.
I believe those diferences between cohesipetal and gravipetal force has a great importance for future technology.

Very good written!
Regard money, probabbly you are scientist and without money like me.
But it is not important in this moment.
That article is in department of physics and title
Einstein
It is not difficult to find it. Click the Physics, and after it click
the Einstein.
Thank You

P.S.
Perheaps you are not understanding situation in Croatia.
Here, many older top scientist have no money for the food every day, neither house, neither car... Croatia is a very poor country.
I do not understand this life here, and I do not know how to explane
that situation. I want to leave Croatia and work somewhere, but I do not know how to do it. In the newspapers you can not read about real situation in our country.
But it will be much better to discuss gravifugal force. This forum serves for disscussions in physics.

At first glance no one would venture to say they veer constantly toward the centre of the celestial body (say, Earth). The mass of the ring resists this veering toward the centre of the celestial body, i.e. it resists the change in direction of its motion
I think you are having serious misunderstandings about circular motion. In short, there is simply no such thing as centrifugal force. A ring as illustrated in the diagram will simply fall southwards until its internal circumference matches the Earth's circumference at that, at which time it would crash. Certainly the motion of the ring will be towards the centre of the earth. EM repulsion will perhaps prevent the ring itself from collapsing, but nothing stops it flying southwards.

I understand. You are one of the top scientists there, and I wish to support your work. I'm sure my $23,640.61 will go a long way there.

OK, good call. Let's discuss it.
Is your theory purely hypothetical, or do you have some evidence to support it? Please state all acceptable scientific references in support, and we can go from there.

Epicycles

No mention of epicycles on the following page:

"I just sent you the message, but there is no any message.

Apparently you cannot justify that epicycles are more accurate than General Relativity.

""In short, there is simply no such thing as centrifugal force""
I agree! There are only cohesifugal and gravifugal force.
""EM repulsion"" ? It does not come in.
""A ring as illustrated in the diagram will simply fall southwards""
Why?
Several experiments carried out by spining gyroscopes shown they are falling down (acceletating) slightly slower, in despite of very smal average velocity of its total mass.
Of course, those small differences maybe were caused by errors in a process of meassurements.
But, my calculations shown those very small values are in very aproximative accordance with equations presented at site:
http://www.geocities.com/agravity/ANTIGRAVITY.htm
The ring of the next experimental device will have much larger average velocity of its mass - cca the 1300m/sec.

Thank you for your disscusion.
Petrus
P.S.
In my project is the most difficult to understand the gravifugal force, and double curved tracectory of the rotating ring mass.

Yes,
all gravimetrical meassurements, at all geographical altitudes, and several experiments with spining gyroscopes, These the last, unfortunately gave very small values.
Many scientist regard it as an errors in meassurements.
Crutial experimental proof up now is a changing in direction of spie
military satelites. When they are changing the direction of its motion (orbit, its behaviour is identical to that of mass of rotating ring. During the changing of direction those satelites are not loosing its altitude.
Thanks for your disscusion.

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that a single free-body diargram could disprove (or prove) this whole thing. I simply do not see where this force is coming from.
