Skeptics Debunked by logical flaws anomalies in Newtonian Gravity
Skeptics debunked over and over again. As old-line medieval faith based bunker mentality they don’t care, don’t listen and can’t even notice the actual world around them. They are the last of the Scholastic monks clinging still to their cloistered classroom memories. They believe every detail told them by their officially recognized professors and textbooks without question or independent thought ever.
Newtonian gravitation never made sense, even to Newton himself:“That gravity should be innate, inherent and essential to matter, so that one body may act upon another at a distance through a vacuum, without the mediation of anything else, by and through which their action and force may be conveyed from one another, is to me so great an absurdity that I believe no man who has in philosophical matters a competent faculty of thinking can ever fall into it. ” Newton letter to Bentley 1692
That didn’t stop Newton from attacking Leibniz covertly and overtly to prevent him even being published as a major scientist. It hasn’t prevented this magical view of an innate force inherent in all matter reaching out to other matter through any distance from still being taught in schools and believed by most scientists and skeptics.
Newton’s actual insight was that watching an apple orchard all day in his childhood, he saw apples occasionally fall from the trees as the sun dropped in the afternoon sky. Eventually, he noted that the pattern of apples farther and farther away from him was the same as the pattern of the setting sun. One path of motion for falling apples and the setting sun that was all.
Politically this became a major insight, that Protestant Britain could break from the power of the Catholic Pope and Church based Aristotle with a new set of beliefs saying rather than an absolute dichotomy of Divine and human, one set of Laws of Motion could describe both celestial mechanics and motion upon the Earth.
The politics were new, the equations and theory were always poor. Newton used what he had and fudged that his insights were totally limited. What is the true explanation why a baby’s rattle falls to the floor when dropped? Because if it didn’t, it would be left behind as the baby, high chair, home, and the whole Planet Earth sped by in their complex motion at high speed!
Well, that is corrected by Einstein’s Relativity Theory the science faithful reply. Again, skeptics debunked! Einstein’s limited Universe still fits into the Crystal Sphere of the Fixed Stars from Aquinas’ Aristotle. Ibn Gabirol in the 11th century noted that the foot of God’s throne in heaven rested upon the top of that crystal sphere. Einstein’s universe agrees with that image.
Einstein often stated he could not believe God played dice with the universe. He quite meant God on his throne sitting over the outside of his limited universe. His critique of probability nonsense in physics was correct, but his remarks on dice were dead wrong. Dice are not random; they are Pythagorean computers far more advanced than modern physics. Probability calculations are based upon a bit of ignorant sleight of hand. They start with the medieval Church assumption that all knowledge is revealed by God and deposited in their library.
If everything is known already, how do you deal with situations where you can not point to one clear mathematical answer? You fudge by saying you know the range of possible answers and have a probability calculation to tell which answer fits. A probability can never be proved wrong, it is only a percentage possibility.
More importantly their sleight of hand is assuming that all the options given are all the possibilities and they KNOW each option is equal to any other. That is quite a claim of knowledge of an unknown. That a real world case in point. What direction will the wind blow from tomorrow? If you have 4 directions, a North wind is a 25% probability. If you have an exact compass circle, the probability of a due North wind is only a 1 in 360 probability. Oops. Skeptics debunked again.
“No fair,” the skeptics whine, “you have to tell us the total number of possibilities before you ask for a probability”. When does each possibility have an exactly equal chance to occur? Rarely, if at all. However, dealing with any finer detail means admitting how little you know about what may happen. If you finesse that, you can still claim you have total knowledge even when you know nothing at all. Skeptics debunked again.
What of Einstein’s matrix tensor calculus and Riemann geometry for gravity? Even Einstein admitted that less than a dozen people in all the Planet Earth understood that mathematics. No one has ever proven Riemann’s abstract geometry of the 19th century is even consistent. Its major purpose is to attach an additional number to each point in space which can be used as a new name for height to still use antique notions of gravity.
What is really going on? Look at the great crucial experiment the world wide media touted as “proof” of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. This was the 1919 observation of Mercury anomaly in a total Eclipse of the Sun. This was touted as a major crucial experiment, showing the forgiveness of the British accepting this replacement of their Newton, by the German Einstein. It was all political theater on many levels.
The anomaly was known about from earlier observations in the late 19th century. The question first was how did Einstein attach this anomaly to his Relativity theory. The three observed results were split. One agreed with the Newtonian expectation. The other two agreed with the prior observations. Sir Arthur Eddington, famed 19th century English astronomer threw out the one, calling it experimental error and averaged the other two to agree with Einstein’s calculations.
That does the notion that gravitational forces bend light beams anyway. Young had demonstrated centuries earlier that light beams bend around a thin card. All such things prove is that light does not travel in geometrically straight lines. The straight line is a human abstraction rarely found in nature except for their use by Newton to allow him to use Euclidean geometry for his equations.
What is Relativity theory really about? Newton was well aware that any notion of absolute time or space was an intellectual abstraction impossible to prove experimentally. However, they make common sense to our normal perceptions. He believed in Copernican theory that the Sun was the mathematical center of the Solar System, though he couldn’t imagine the fixed, stable terra firma under our feet really was spinning about and hurtling through space.
Einstein reacted to the new data of his day, which did not include the Big Bang Theory, or any real appreciation for the Planet Earth as a space ship traveling through the Cosmos. The speed of light is constant regardless of the direction or motion of the light source was the result reported in the literature of his day. Particles were being accelerated close to the speed of light and the results were not fitting simple Newtonian equation F=ma.
The question was raised if maybe Newton, whose work had never philosophically made much sense, was actually dead wrong and needed to be replaced. This conflicted with the beliefs that Newton was the Patron Saint of British science and his work was the essence of modern physics. How to save Newton and still fit in the conflicting current data?
Einstein came to the rescue with the notion that the experimental data that the speed of light was a universal constant should be taken as Truth and also Newton’s equations remain as the core of True physics. The academics could teach the same old books, just with a lovely new footnote used only in exceptional situations.
The only cost was to say Newton’s Laws worked in every lab or other frame of reference, but they had to be adjusted in any measurement involving more than one single place. This is logical nonsense, but it was universally accepted in science faculties and doubting skeptics. Space, time, mass were all obsolete to be replaced by space-time continuum and special transformations.
The logical equivalent was to let go of the medieval Scholastic notion that all science knowledge was revealed in Genesis to be adjusted slightly by the new paradigms by properly vetted, best-selling authors with their new books added to the academic library.The true replacement theory would be to recognize that all physics knowledge is limited.
Specifically, accept that all our scientific observations are done with light images (electromagnetic radiation of various wavelengths all traveling at the same max speed). Just as with a light microscope, there is a resolution limit to changes to these images that can be measured. It is like using a horseback rider to deliver information, the speed of that rider is the limit to any information delivery.
All the anomalous data can be explained by limits in light image resolution combined with Newton’s equations being all approximate. Mass appears to increase for accelerations near the speed of light by a combination of it taking more force to accelerate that fast and it is difficult to get the exact right image that finely using light images.
What is wrong with a logical explanation of the anomalies and limitations found by science observation in the late 19th century? It would require admitting a lack of total knowledge already and even that some of accepting theory was just an approximation. This is forbidden in a revealed, absolute Truth science cloistered system.
Instead, when the calendar turned to 1904 all kinds of new theories came into vogue for the new century. No new discoveries much, just the old knowledge of the prior decade was no long denied, but embraced as proof science is bringing in the Future and turning out the errors of the past (few years) since they can’t come back to defend themselves. Molecules, relativity theory, Einstein as Absolute Genius all were hailed in the new papers published by Albert Einstein by 1905 (and universally rejected a decade earlier).
Skeptics debunked again by their own hairpin turns from one decade to the next across the line of a new calendar century. Most of what have been the great experimental discoveries of the new paradigms of physics never occurred. They are simply fictional myths thrown into textbooks to fool students into believing what they are being taught instead of thinking for themselves.
The honest explanations are simple and obvious logical statements, but that would encourage independent thought and perhaps students going outside, leaving behind their cloistered professors and seeing things for themselves. Why do all objects fall with the same acceleration? Imagine holding two identical balls of clay, one in each hand—won’t they fall identically? As you bring them closer together will their speed change? What if they are put together into one ball? Then won’t every object fall exactly the same?
This simple logical answer was denied based upon the medieval translation of Aristotle. Exactly where Aristotle says such a thing isn’t clear but once Galileo came up with the notion of equal acceleration of all masses, it was hailed as a great improvement over Aristotle. The big question back then, really was how do you measure the acceleration of a falling body. Galileo’s answer was to use an inclined plane with a ruler on it to both slow down the motion and give a way to mark it off.
This raises the question of time, timing and mechanical clocks. Timing is unknown and denied in modern science which should be enough to prove skeptics debunked by their foolish denial and ignorance right there. Clocks originally developed in monasteries where the monks were required to be awakened at 3 am to deny them the worldly pleasure of a good night’s sleep. An alarm clock was needed and our mechanical clocks developed from that monkish deprivation.
These mechanical clocks could barely count out equal hours although the hours of daylight are variable both during the day and over the seasons. This limited the utility of mechanical clocks. However, they proved very useful in market towns and factories to guarantee equal hours of work all the time for their indoor factories to assure employers they were getting their most profitable return on the wages they paid.
How do we now where is true geographical North? We can use GPS satellites and other costly modern computer equipment nowadays. We could also watch the shadow of any vertical stick in the Northern hemisphere. When the sun passes directly overhead, in the middle of its arc from rising to setting, it will cast its shortest shadow of the day pointing directly and perfectly due geographical North and at an angle exactly equal to the latitude of that location.
Skeptics debunked by simply going outside and making simple observations in the natural world. Of course, they can’t go outside into the sunshine now without massive sun block coverage and other technological protections from environmental pollution. That arises from their academic training that there isn’t really one globe shared by us all. Instead they were taught they could divide it up by property rights and isolated systems.
Focusing only upon your own isolated area, whatever you didn’t want any more could be exhausted beyond your boundary lines (property or conceptual) where the junk would disappear into the vast if not infinite beyond. When this exhaust started to circle the globe and come back, it was renamed a new problem of environmental pollutions. It wasn’t new. Only noticing it was new after avoiding, denying and avoiding the issue.
All the great environmental pollution problems were known at the time the new products were first introduced, just ignored as inconvenient to the marketing of the new wonder. Nuclear waste was originally known to be a deadly hazard without a technological solution. Enriched uranium was needed for atom bombs and nuclear power was the civilian cover for that military program.
In the 1950’s it was said nuclear energy was a great advance. Atom bombs could be used to cheaply create new harbors, nuclear power plants offered great sources of electricity. And the nuclear waste disposal was just another technological problem to be solved in the future like any other. Even then they knew they were making new atomic isotopes that lasted for millions of years. There wasn’t even a theoretical model of changing these nuclear isotopes, they barely knew anything about making them except that they happened.
Skeptical thought was silence by enthusiasm for the latest scientific development to help traditional military and economic interests make new profits. Skeptics debunked now by their own foolish attachments proven wrong over time. This entire scientific technology only goes back a few centuries—basically to the needs after the Black Death to replace all the skilled labor lost to the Plague including scholars and scientists. It is a culture of hope for a glorious near future powered by a terrible need to deny the horrors of the recent past and the decline of the prior centuries. Skeptics Debunked!
Not really a very pretty picture, if you can step back and take a look at it. But, of course, these academic types can’t allow that. With perspective these science skeptics are debunked by their own rotten history. Now they are arguing over how many centuries they have to deal with Global Warming. Some still are purists claiming human action can’t make terrible changes to our huge planet. Even the Ancient Romans knew that was nonsense.Skeptics Debunked!
How long do we have before global warming gets too catastrophic? Greenhouse gases are now accumulating at an exponential rate, particularly as melting polar ice is releasing vast quantities of these gases which accelerate the melting, etc. All exponentials can be approximated by three straight lines. One is virtually flat, easy to ignore or deny. The second feels like a regular linear increase. The third takes over at the takeoff point and it is most like a vertical line straight up, out of the frame of reference into a whole new scale. Skeptics Debunked!
The rule of thumb for exponentials is that by the time you are forced to notice them, they are too quickly going through the linear middle approximation and about to go catastrophic to the level of scale that you live on. Again skeptics debunked by the horrors of the catastrophe they ignored, denied, avoided and thought someone else could take care of later.
What about alternatives? They are many and universal once you kick the old academic types of science skeptics back to their medieval cloisters to cuddle up with their library books and avoid the sunshine and public comment. Go Outside, admit your ignorance, pick up a pair of dice and watch the stars above and the sunshine shadows around you.
Big Bang Theory Supports and Explains Astrology
Astrology is supported by Big Bang theory as well as simple logic. Astrology is based upon timing. Modern science has nothing to say about timing. Skeptics debunked right there. Academic attacks on astrology are a holdover from their roots in the medieval Church who attacked astrology for using calculations for human timing rather than leave room for miracles, prayer and paid indulgences.
Now astrology is decried by skeptics for not using the same calculations they do. Astrology is based in symbolic geometry. Modern science is rooted in the mechanical techniques of algebra equations. Geometry requires thinking and inspires personal insight to understand a wide range of possible alternatives. Algebra needs only rote training in technique to always get the same exact answer.
Skeptics debunked by their willingness to accept a single numerical answer over and over again rather than allow the flexibility and diversity of different similar answers for various situations. Geometry expands human understanding by giving a symbolic background explaining general relationships and principles.
Stars, dice, shadows, personal intuitions and relationships are all far better areas of study than the nonsense accepted as mathematical physics. Simple history shows modern science skeptics debunked over and over again! They just invoke the modern notion of turning their back on prior horrors, denying impending problems and hyping the wonders of the glorious future that might appear someday.Skeptics Debunked!
The secret that reveals these skeptics debunked is ultimately the cultural trauma of the Black Death. The fears and grief engendered never dealt with and suppressed. The fear of feelings inside gave rise to the passion for objectivity and the flight from anything personal or subjective since it might die horribly very soon too.
These damaged souls moved powerfully to avoid their feelings and evade their personal demons. They focused upon machinery, lab work and technology as an alternative to human relationships that caused them personal feelings. They became the willing assistants to the development of ever more lethal war technology. People would die soon anyway and new guns and artillery could give their leaders total power over the land and other hard assets that would survive forever. Skeptics Debunked!
The notion developed that if you isolated every local situation you could limit anything to a manageable and workable small problem. Then you could exhaust or dump or ignore everything else. Repeated enough times, whatever you had or knew would be all anyone would ever need. Skeptics Debunked!
The entirety of environmental issues arises directly from this simplistic evasion. Did the environment spring up on its own just recently? Not quite. All those isolated solutions and ignored exhausts and dumping out of sight were ignored until they piled up elsewhere so catastrophically that they returned from "nowhere" as environmental problems.
Each environmental issue and technological catastrophe looked at objectively shows these skeptics debunked and their fundamental assumption ridiculed. None of these new problems is at all new. Each was clear from its inception--but ignored until time brought back the verdict--modern scientist skeptics debunked again.
Asbestos and tobacco smoke were denied to be carcinogens for decades. That smoke irritates lung tissue was never in doubt. That irritation over a long time causes cancer also never doubted. So what wasn't known about damage from tobacco smoke? Nothing, just the money went into studies to not be published. Skeptics Debunked!
Asbestos is even more obvious. The ancient Greek physicians knew that stone dust caused terrible damage to the lungs. They had stone carvers sick from it. What is special about asbestos? It is a mineral that comes in long strands. That is why it can be woven into cloth like stuff that is fireproof.
Of course, long thin stone strands break to stone dust. How could it not be dangerous to those who inhaled it? That was ignored to promote is fireproof qualities in marketing hype. Was the other part, that it had stone dust with that lovely fireproof cloth, not just as clear? Sure, but not so good for profitable marketing. Skeptics Debunked!
Plastics and detergents were proudly marketed that they would never spoil or break down like natural materials. Then the great surprise when they formed eternal pollution in landfills, lakes and oceans. Never breaks down means stays in the same form forever.Skeptics Debunked!
I remember the report about worldwide patterns of detergent foam pollution being called lucky--it highlighted the patterns of nuclear fallout which didn't make such obvious pollution.What Luck! Skeptics Debunked!
They found the fallout had also circled the globe and caused serious problems.There was a report that SAT scores were lower due to this nuclear fallout of Strontium 90. Sounds far fetched until one hears the details. Maps of Sr90 fallout over the Earth topography fit maps of Sr90 concentrations in milk which fit patterns of thyroid gland disorders from radiation that cause decreased intelligence and SAT scores from those exact same areas.
Skeptics debunked by the animal studies showing how the Sr90 affects the thyroid causing the mental problems that lead to poor SAT scores fit exactly the maps of fallout patterns and radiation levels in local milk supplies. Why did no one bother to think of the well-known downside of these technological breakthroughs? Everything was split up and isolated into specialties.
Creating the marketable products, promoting their sales were encouraged. The rest of details were ignored as being someone else's specialty--oh yeah--no paying jobs offered there. Well, tough, not this set of specialists’ responsibility. Gee, no one's area of paid professional work. All that paid work funded by marketing interests not public interests. Skeptics Debunked!
Global warming is just massive burning of fossil fuel exhausted into the atmosphere. Was there ever any doubt that the thick black smoke out of chimneys and exhaust pipes was bad news? No--just ignored until it filled the atmosphere and came back from Asia to damage world skies. Skeptics Debunked!
China thought only of its economic gains, rejecting any concern about pollution or CO2 emissions. U.S. industry joined with the fossil fuel industries to join them. Now China is realizing they won't survive the 2008 Olympics unless they find immediate solutions to their pollution and global warming problems. Skeptics Debunked!
Surprise, power may come out the barrel of a gun, as Mao said, but mere power won't stop global warming. That whole mentality is powerless and silly when facing these issues. They get more and more powerful and overwhelming at an ever increasing rate from the point they aren't negligible and hit take off to catastrophe. Skeptics Debunked!
Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma weren't just a bad weather year. They were the take off point of global warming out of control. Think its good news not such bad hurricanes since then?Technically, hurricanes are the small potatoes of global warming. The drought and excessive heat with just occasional wide spread tornadoes and localized short term flooding are worse. Several major cities in the U.S. South East are facing totally unexpected loss of perhaps all water reservoir contents.Skeptics Debunked!
History tells of many great cities and civilizations that suddenly found their water supply lost to the environment. One at a time they were terrible catastrophes that ended great civilizations. We are facing a dozen which will become hundreds soon. Again, science skeptics debunked to the max.
Why is the Solar System basically flat rather than being spherical like the Bohr atom. There is no directionality in Newton’s law of gravity—his gravity should make a spherical solar system. What keeps the Solar System in a single plane more or less?
From the time of Laplace there was the belief that the solar system condensed out of a spinning cloud of matter. That would explain the flat shape, but it also makes Newtonian gravity extraneous, since the angular momentum of the cloud (from the Big Bang explosion would be sufficient and thus simpler and thus true by the modern version of Ockham’s (Occam in Latin) razor.Skeptics Debunked!
Which is more important mechanical clock time or timing? Does Clock Time Exist Outside of its use in Modern Science? Modern science knows nothing of even mapping timing, let alone studying it effectively. Therefore, science claims it is meaningless. For want of a nail the horse is lost for want of the horse the war is lost for want of the war the nation is lost--that is poor timing in a nut shell.Skeptics Debunked!
Science has its own answer of massive war industries taking over the economy and working all the time on ever greater military capacities. This ignores the lessons of history. The same preparations for massive war went on before World War I. The general knew their military hardware was such that if a crisis led to mobilization it had to leave to World War that had to continue to total political exhaustion and general destruction. Skeptics Debunked!
Some might think that meant they needed to have great diplomacy to prevent any crisis going to military mobilization. Prince Albert of Britain tried that by marrying off his grandchildren to all the crowned heads of Europe. When World War I brought out, it was a global war between cousins. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a lack of family ties that made for European conflicts.
Napoleon, the great innovation of 1801 calendar timing, came up with the notion of using massive industrial production to make a huge army to fit all over Europe. After his time, no one solved the problem of putting his attitude back in a bottle and coming to a more humane way to rule. Instead industrialization for total war as the backbone of the entire economy became established. This led inevitably to World War I as the innovation of the 20th century.
In 1901 the Germans did not have the Kiel Canal improved so that their High Seas Fleet could get to the High Seas to attack Britain. The British launched the first war of the new 20th century fighting the Boer War in South Africa—an overseas anti-guerrilla war with the innovation of concentration camps. It was forced to a victorious British signing ceremony followed the next year by recognition of Boer independence from Britain.Skeptics Debunked!
That became the hallmark of the 20th century—imperial powers fighting against local insurgents in brutal campaigns that use industrial might to attain military victory and then suffer defeat since they can not support that infrastructure very long. By August of 1914 the German High Seas Fleet was ready to sail and Pluto changed signs, entering Cancer. World War I was launched to the utter exhaustion and destruction of the European Great Powers.Skeptics Debunked!
Skeptics debunked by history when you notice the timing rather than just the clock time. Instead modern science relies upon Clock Time, since it has clocks. What are mechanical clocks; do they measure anything objectively real? Poincare noted that you can not really tell if any two clock moments are the same. The best atomic clocks now can't be synchronized since their smallest units don't agree with other atomic clocks smallest units.Skeptics Debunked!
All that a clock can tell is not Time itself, just the counting of the cycles it uses to measure. The cycles of the planets, including the Earth, Sun and Moon are what mark out the day, the month, the year, and more. These are the timing rhythms of the universal tides arising like the solar system itself from a single swirling mass from the Big Bang. Skeptics Debunked!
The Big Bang Theory states that our solar system developed from a single spinning mass which settled out into the Sun and planets. One system which only became separate celestial bodies when all the bits between them stayed behind as this new system took up traveling together through the galaxy.
Astrology only requires that the complex tides, currents, ripples of this overall system continue to persist in the angular momentum of the Earth and all the rest of the Solar System. Astrology is based upon the timing cycles of this entire system, not any primitive notion of magical stellar rays somehow causing human influence. Skeptics Debunked!
Where did this illogical notion of stellar rays or stellar influence come from? Ptolemy and his strange notions of the interaction of stars and humans added to his star maps and planetary calculation. Ptolemy, the author of the astronomers Bible of Constellations and basic celestial mechanics called the Algamest. It is Ptolemy who makes no sense generally though the specific math and star locations were excellent. Skeptics Debunked!
Science debunked by astronomers’ inability to select the rational math and mapping and reject the irrational nonsense of Ptolemy. His constellations are known to be just imaginary, making no sense once it is possible to map the Universe without limits to what is seen from Earth. This mythological fantasies were swallowed whole and added to astronomy since Ptolemy’s work was a paradigm best-seller added to the academic library.
So why insist Ptolemy knows astrology, which he never did--he copied a few misunderstood notions from Egyptian astrologers (he was Greek in Alexandria, Egypt). Ptolemy is the paradigm celebrity star of astronomy. Good and loyal astronomers assume he is Authority unless another paradigm celebrity like Newton has replaced him. Skeptics Debunked!
