SUMMARY

The discussion centers on Mark McCutheson's theory regarding the expanding universe and its implications for gravity. Participants express skepticism about the claim that gravity results from the Earth's expansion and question how celestial bodies like the Moon maintain their orbits under this premise. A link to an external critique of McCutheson's ideas is shared, highlighting legitimate concerns raised by readers. The conversation emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of the relationship between gravity and cosmic expansion.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of gravitational theory
  • Familiarity with concepts of cosmic expansion
  • Basic knowledge of celestial mechanics
  • Awareness of Mark McCutheson's theories
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of general relativity and their relation to gravity
  • Explore the concept of cosmic expansion in modern astrophysics
  • Investigate critiques of alternative theories to gravity
  • Read Mark McCutheson's "Final Theory" for direct insights
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, students of cosmology, and anyone interested in alternative theories of gravity and cosmic expansion.

What about this Final Theory thing??

Hi all,

Just was wondering about what you all thought of Mark McCutheson's (sp) book and this expanding universe. That gavity is really the result of, for us here, the Earth expanding as is the whole universe. That to over come "gravity" we must use mechanical means, ie, thrust. Of course we cannot sense this expansion. I have not come to the part about how the heck the Moon stays in orbit with this expansion idea. Any thoughts would be great.

I started to answer with a basic response about the relative difference between gravity and expansion. The statement "That gavity is really the result of, for us here, the Earth expanding as is the whole universe." stopped me so I checked to see what Mark McCutheson was really about.

Here is a link giving the basics along with correspondence with one of his readers. The reader expressed some very legitimate problems. This is not a link to anything belonging to Mark McCutheson. This individuals expose says more than you can resonable expect here.
