How would you measure the forces and motion of large interacting bodies accurately?

Oh I'm so gonna take that last message out of context

Well for motion there are several ways

Depending on the distance you can use anything from triangulation by parallax to doppler shifts to hubble’s law

Or a combination

You would need a strong telescope, does your average person has the telescope of what NASA uses?

for forces use those measurements and use basic equations of physics to solve for the forces

To get results

You actually don’t and i’ll tell you why

You need a telescope that can track coordinates if you want to be really accurate but you can free hand it for a ball park estimate

But here’s how you can measure movement

I think the hypothesis for gravity is mass attracts mass

who pinged,,,,,,

Use some form of celestial body distance measurement tool like I mentioned before

How would you be able to concur that those 2 objects actually attracted each other by using empirical evidence? You can't get accurate coordinates with your normal telescope

Creeper

Someone pinged me i cant see rn

Yes and I’m explaining how

aww man

@1144oli huh

Hypothesis: Gravity accelerates things towards each other

So now that you know the distance to said body you can plot its position in the sky

you missed a step, observation first

@Umwhat well yeah isn't that what she stated? Gravity accelerates things towards each other.
Perhaps replacing "things" with "mass"

Avware#3516 has been sent to Muted for spamming!

How would you know it's distance from a telescope?

rip

What

you jumped to conclusion with your hypothesis that its gravity by defualt

Hubble’s law is a convenient tool

hi

ah OK

eletrick33#0669 LANGUAGE!!!

what??

I won’t explain Hubble’s law cause you can look it up

you jumped to conclusion with your hypothesis that its gravity by defualt
@Arachidamia

Anyways it’s an easy way to see how far away stuff is

That’s what a hypothesis is

parallax was never found

I’m not jumping to a conclusion
