Archaeology of the New Testament

[Jerry Mathers]

"Gravity involves acceleration because it is a geometric curvature in spacetime that causes an object's velocity to change."

~AI overview​

Planets and moons aren't being "held in place". Orbits are a motion of acceleration. Any kind of curved motion or change of direction (orbital elliptical motion, parabolic motion, circular motion) is a type of acceleration.

not when nothing is moving.

now you're just acting retarded.

gravity deferred isn't gravity denied.

 

[Cypress]

Gravity is not acceleration!

"Gravity is an acceleration. Specifically, in physics, it is the rate at which objects speed up as they fall toward a massive body, like the Earth."

~ AI overview​

"Einstein’s ground-breaking realization was that gravity is indistinguishable from, and in fact the same thing as, acceleration, an idea he called the “principle of equivalence”."

[Cypress]

not when nothing is moving.

Nothing is absolutely stationary in a gravitational field.

The acceleration of gravity is always acting on you. That's why when you jump up you come right back down. What's keeping you from continuing to accelerate towards the center of the Earth is the balancing force of the floor pushing back upward on you.

 

[Jerry Mathers]

Nothing is absolutely stationary in a gravitational field.

yes it is.

 

[Jerry Mathers]

yes.

cypress has brilliantly deconstructed the notion of "stationary".

what would we do without him?

 

[Cypress]

yes it is.

It's only static if some other force is counter balancing the acceleration due to gravity - aka, the internal pressure of the sun preventing a gravitational collapse of the sun and resulting in a hydrostatic equilibrium between pressure and gravity.

so there are stationary things in a gravitational field.

you were jacking off your dumb face again.

 

[Cypress]

The sun is not stationary. The sun is orbiting around the common center of mass of the solar system, though the orbit is not obvious to the naked eye. The sun is also orbiting around the center of mass of the galaxy.

I said 'static'. A gravitational collapse of the sun is only prevented by the counter balancing force of internal pressure. Gravity by itself does not make anything stationary.

word games and stupidity.

you have successfully destroyed "stationary" as a concept.

congratulations, here's your sign.

 

[Cypress]

word games and stupidity!

Name something that gravity by itself causes to be stationary and immobile.

 

[Jerry Mathers]

Name something that gravity by itself causes to be stationary and immobile.

no thanks.

 

[Cypress]

no thanks.

So, after all that bluster, you can't name anything that gravity by itself causes to be stationary and immobile.

 

[Jerry Mathers]

I never made such a claim.

you said that.

that's your bullshit.

 

[IBDaMann]

Gravity is an acceleration of matter and energy moving along geodesics in curved spacetime, according to Einstein.

Nope. There is no gravity whatsoever in General Relativity, and you are one of the slowest people on the uptake that exist on this side of the internet.

Isaac Newton thought it was an acceleration caused by some type of attractive force reaching out and acting over a distance.

Correct. Newton's model involves gravity, a force that accelerates mass.

Einstein's theory was a paradigm shift in how we think about this field of acceleration that every human, animal, planet, and asteroid 'feels'.

Good job! You finally wrote a complete sentence without using the term "gravity." Now, just refine the wording to make it correct and you'll be golden.

 

[IBDaMann]

gravity is a force, it is not dependent on movement.

Newton spoke in terms of "gravity", that it is a force that accelerates mass.

Einstein's General Relativity has no gravity, i.e. no force that accelerates mass. The curvature of spacetime tells matter how to move.

If you are using the term gravity, you must apply Newtonian mechanics. It is inappropriate/incorrect to mix gravity and Relativity.

but there are stationary items in gravitational fields, dim AI bulb.

You couldn't find context with a magnifying class and a sherpa.

YARP. You cannot blame your loss of context on me or anybody else, Void.

 

[Jerry Mathers]

cypress is a cretinesque rube.

 

[Into the Night]

Einstein's general relativity is literally expressed as field equations, because it describes how curved spacetime causes a field of acceleration.

​

You can't actually learn anything by frantically Googling for five minutes. You have to invest the time to take classes, read textbooks, attend lectures.

That is precisely how general relativity changed the way we think about gravity. It is not an acceleration caused by some attractive force reaching out and acting at a distance. It's an acceleration caused by the curvature of spacetime.

There is no gravity in Einstein's equation.

The Universe is not a curve.
The Universe is not acceleration.
The Universe is not a field.
The Universe is not Einstein.
The Universe is not an equation.

The Universe is unorganized.

 

[Into the Night]

Charged particles cause an electric field and electricity; that is what you would have learned in high school physics if you had bothered to take the class.

A particle is not electricity.
Science is not a high school.
Science is not a class.

The Universe is not a particle.
The Universe is not a charge.
The Universe is not a field.
The Universe is not electricity.
The Universe is not a school or class.

The Universe is unorganized.
