Re: Thornhill's Latest Gravity Presentation
I was going to edit my post with a link to a paper that contained the basis of this theory but then realised I couldn't find it in my browsing history. It's an interesting alternative concept at least. http://www.mauricecotterell.com/downloa ... %20Web.pdfquerious wrote:Also, please refrain from offering content-free, Bengt-style rebuttals.colzboppo wrote:Because gravity isn't caused by a simplistic dipolar electrostatic field...?

That "paper" is meant as a joke, right? About the ONLY thing it gets right is that like charges repel, and unlike charges attract. Beyond that, it's just gibberish.colzboppo wrote:I was going to edit my post with a link to a paper that contained the basis of this theory but then realised I couldn't find it in my browsing history.

No, take it for what it is, I'm not trying to convince you personally. Perhaps someone with a deeper understanding has a more constructive opinion on its musings that could help point wal in the right direction, I have a feeling he's on the right track with an electromagnetic explanation for gravity, but just can't quite figure it out yet. The idea that every atom acts as an electromagnetic motor starting with hydrogen as a simple generator that's powered by heat, emitting radial gravitational energy is a rather elegant proposition to the EU school of theories.

Re: Thornhill's Latest Gravity Presentation
If you can't see why the paper is gobbledygook, you need to read an introductory physics book. Of course, if you're one of the people who think all that "book learnin" is for chumps, by all means, go and waste your time on such idiocy.colzboppo wrote:No, take it for what it is, I'm not trying to convince you personally.

It's just a real shame to see such faux-curiosity about the world.

Somebody knowledgeable about the differences between E, B, D and H electric fields should be able to tell you.querious wrote: Can anyone on this forum explain why a charged foil doesn't react to the dipole-generated electrostatic field of the Earth?
I avoid using fields for two reasons, one is the above, the other is that there is always a cause to an electric field, and working directly from that avoids the problem.
For example: Dynamic dipole gravity is caused by a mutual, interactive posturing between trapped charges, like electrons orbiting atomic and molecular nuclei. Both nuclei and electrons are trapped in place but have a limited ability to offset or eccentrify their positions in response to external influences. See earlier dipole gravity figures. If you charge your aluminum foil with for example extra electrons, these free electrons will avoid each other and place themselves as far away from each other as possible around the edges of the foil. This will not effect dynamic dipole gravity, or any other form of gravity, because these free electrons will simply slip away and go where they want. However, if you also managed to put a negative charge onto earth, the free electrons on your aluminum foil would still try to get away but would get no further than to the edges of the top side of your aluminum foil. The free electrons that you deposited on earth would also want to spread out. It would take a lot of free electrons on the surface of the earth before you would see any effect like an electrostatic repelling force competing with gravity over control of your aluminum foil.
If instead you invested in adding a positive charge to the surface of the earth, while your aluminum foil is still negatively charged, you would experience both gravity and electrostatic attraction pulling the aluminum foil toward the earth.

I agree that any extra electrons will redistribute themselves over the outer surface of the foil, in order to lower their potential energy.Bengt Nyman wrote: If you charge your aluminum foil with for example extra electrons, these free electrons will avoid each other and place themselves as far away from each other as possible around the edges of the foil.

However, you make it sound like this posturing explains why a charged foil doesn't react to the Earth's dipoles. It doesn't, because their ability to "slip away and go where they want" is limited to moving to the outer surface of the foil.
But thanks for at least TRYING to come up with an explanation, this time.

A charged body never affects a neutral body. Dynamic dipole gravity does not change the charge of either body.
There is a lot we do not know about charge, and force at a distance, and more. SM long ago gave up on trying to find "common sense" answers to complex questions. They told me recently while talking about GR gravity versus Gravitons that "the two are not competing or conflicting, just expressions of two different models".
Many extreme complexities will never be understood by a human mind and therefore requires simplified models and variables that man can handle, even it has nothing to do with common sense or what we have learned in the past.

Electrostatic induction does not change the charge of a body, it redistributes it, just like dynamic dipole gravity does at a microscopic level.querious wrote:Ever heard of electrostatic induction?Bengt Nyman wrote:I guess it needs to be said again...
