Rocketry is pretty fun
No i mean the Cavendish \
Lets do it
I like to eat poo poo
WE ARE NOT DOING A ROCKET
Why not?
No
I didn't say the rocket would be _good_
We need to prove that gravity is a force independent of static electricity
Do we _really_ have to go back and do the Cavendish experiment?
That's lame as hell
i think that electric increase in height has something to do with it
@Fading You don't have to
hmmm
@Superiorna_Artiljerija we need to prove that is the case
By replacing the lead balls with a material inert to static electricity
Lead is a pretty bad conductor, is it not?
@Fading it's still a conducter
So you want to dispel all doubt by using something perfectly insulating?
We know it is gravity if we calculate a similar gravitational constant
It's used in car batteries for a battery reaction, not for it's conduction
It is static electricity if the gravitational constant we calculate is noticably different
redox reaction* not battery reaction, sorry it's been a while since org chem
@Human Sheeple I assume you're talking about lead-acid batteries?
Lead has a conductivity of 4.55 x 10^6 S/m at 20 degrees C
Ah okay not as low as I thought
That's one order of magnitude LESS than copper
However Teflon has a conductivity of 10^-25 S/m which makes Lead 31 orders of magnitude better conductivity
hi good morning Human
nice
So if we use the same mass for the balls and they attract at the same speed it proves gravity and disproves Sheeple's 6 law
I kind of came into this discussion late so all I really now is we're not trusting the Cavendish experiment for some reason
Something to do with electricity I guess
Which is cool, who is gonna build the apparatus?
@Fading Sheeple suggests that the Cavendish experiment is not a result of gravity but the rods nearing the lead balls via static electricity
The Cavendish experiment is alright though keep in mind that usually you ought to work with no external forces such as friction or torque which isn't always the case
@The Gwench Send full pfp please
ha i was watching Arwijn show too
@Bannebie can you clarify what you mean by "work with no external forces"?
@Fading Sheeple wants me to do it in the dark too lol
