Re: will it go round in circles

In Response To: Re: will it go round in circles (Knight Premier)

: What a risk that is, too bad you've already taken it. There is no proof that
: gravity is a warping of spacetime, it is simply an effect generated by
: mass. The idea of it 'warping' spacetime is simply an general theory that
: fits what we can observe.

i do hope your summer school includes a course on reading with comprehension, for you need it badly. and btw, ALL "proofs" are based on observations and theories to explain them which predict new observable effects. gravitational distortion of spacetime has been confirmed by observation of shifting star parallaxes during total eclipses and by recent observations of gravitational lenses. since photons are massless, and could not be affected by gravity as a mass would be, the distortions of the light could only be due to it traveling along a gravitationally "bent" geodesic. Einstein predicted both effects long before they were confirmed by many repeated observations.

: Gravity does not have an acceleration, sorry. Actually, white dwarves and
: neutron stars are not made of exotic matter that 'packs mass into a small
: space'. White dwarves are made of normal atoms of 'starstuff' who's
: combined mass is great enough to counter atomic diffusion. Neutron stars
: are made of normal, every day neutrons which have cast away the remainder
: of their atomic structure. (I.e, there are no true 'atoms' in a neutron
: star, only pieces of former atoms).

dig into the nature of atomic structure and tell me that degenerate matter is "normal, everyday" stuff. what a dillettante.

: Almost funny. Almost.

: So, now its not exotic matter. It's simply exotic forms of ordinary matter.
: Too bad you missed it the first time around.

: Look up the definition on 'Continuity'. And we're so glad that your
: 'highness' is willing to 'put up with' a few 'rounded corners'. Perhaps
: the Bungie team should consult your eminence more often when designing
: games?

that'd be cool. they're welcome to contact me. they seem like nice folk, unlike some of their more mouthy fans.

: But you just described gravity as a warping of spacetime!

read it again, carefully, please. mass warps spacetime. the warping cause accelerations in the vicinity of the mass. we call certain effects of that acceleration gravity. capish?

: Surely my ship's
: acceleration does NOT warp spacetime. Gravity is one thing, inertia is
: another. GET IT RIGHT!

: Oh how bright you are. Too bad FoR already stated the existence of
: 'artificially created gravity' on the ring world.

which could mean the entire surface is paved with high-tech velcro. as long as you stick to it, it would be "artifical" gravity. see another post re: this semantic distinction.
