I would have to research it and do not have the time. You might could find it though very possibly Google would hide it. I did the research when I saw the eclipse within a week. Lots of comments were made about the earth rotating in the wrong direction. I assume by now they have taken it down. I sure would were i the idiot who made it. Or my boss would after firing me.
So perhaps look at Flat Earth videos about it from back then. If they were allowed to stay up you might find them.
Better still research the most recent solar eclipse and what they say occured in videos.
the argentina one?
Yes it was mostly over the Pacific Ocean.
I have seen little on it but not researched it.
Oh are you talking about the NOAA satellite timelapse
Perhaps. I looked at all I could find from government and University sites. Back then I was barely a flat earther.
I think this is the one
How does one fall off the earth
It was on that trip I became one by seeing Norfolk Harbor from 40 miles away.
Gravity is very real. However it is not caused by Mass to Mass attraction. That is the lie not gravity.
No one I have ever found has proof of what really causes gravity. I think God just does it.
Because what else am I to think. No one can say they have proof of what causes gravity. Were it mass to mass well my belief is that there is far more mass below us than were the earth a tiny ball only 8,000 miles across. My belief is it is a half ball 30,000 miles across or even further across.
The circumference of the earth isn't that far from your number (24,901 mi is the value)
So I would have no problem if Mass to Mass attraction were proven. Then i would know it causes gravity and that would work for me.
Yes but I believe there is land and islands far south of Antarctica.
I have no proof for that. So it could be 60,000 miles across.
What is your opinion on the 9.8m/s constant here on earth
But it uses the gravitational formula
My brother would dive off of very high cliffs and that would tell me how fast he was going and how high he dove by measuring seconds to impact.
getting the 9.8m/s value uses Newton's law of gravitation
My max was around 25' He would go to at least 70 feet.
Yes Gravitation is as Newton said. Not as Einstein said.
So newton's theory on gravity works instead of Einsteins
Though Newton might have wondered mass to mass. To him it was just a theory. Einstein just uses Newton and attaches his theory as to what causes it with math associated with that and thus we get to planets rotating around the sun and such. Something Newton did not claim.
Later on the theory was expanded to force fields around suns and planets. Looks neat but there is no proof it is at all real.
But his theory worked
the formula worked
You used his formula and got the speed for your brother
Yes 32 feet per second squared in our feet.
His formula was to have mass attract mass be used
I used calculus as taught so I could change this to the three formulas i needed to compute it all.
But you still used his formulas
I thought you guys disproved his theory
and gravity *wasn't* mass attract mass
Newton never claimed it was more than a theory. Einstein claimed it was law.
Are we going to agree that his formula works though
It is not us. You can find many round earth videos where they admit Mass to Mass attraction has never been proven.
