Section I
In the crazy world of heliocentric physics, besides big G as a supposed constant force, there is little "g" as another supposed constant force.
Little g would represent the gravitational force and attraction of the Earth itself, especially that at the Earth's surface, and it is distinguished from the supposed universal gravitational constant big G. It also is approximated by the rate of free fall acceleration of all objects that fall around the Earth. The nominal average value of "g" at the Earth's surface, known as standard gravity, is by definition 9.80665 m/s2 (32.1737 ft/s2). This quantity is denoted variously as gn, ge, g0, gee, or simply g. Standard gravity, or standard acceleration due to free fall, then, is the nominal acceleration of an object in a "vacuum" of air near the surface of the Earth.
It is reckoned today that the velocity of a free falling body in air near the surface of the Earth is due to the combined effects of the force of gravity and centrifugal acceleration. It is assumed that on Earth all objects fall with a conventional standard value of acceleration of exactly 9.80665 m/s2 (approx. 32.174ft/s2). Therefore, to simplify problems with falling objects around the Earth, the "gravitational force" of the Earth, "g", is set equal to 9.8 or 10 when rounded off.
Following Galileo's false law of falling bodies and his theory of gravity, it is assumed that g does not vary significantly with height or weight during a fall. Therefore, in the distance and time formula for free falling bodies, d = 1/2gt^2, a constant rate of acceleration is assumed. So if a little green cooking apple like the one that fell on Newton's head were dropped from 25 stories, a text book could say that it should take a slow 4 seconds to fall.
If it is assumed that each floor is about ten feet, with a little space left over here and there, 25 stories could be about 257.218 feet or 78.4 meters. A time of 4 seconds is equal to [2(78.4 meters)/g]^1/2. t = (2d/g)^1/2.
It was Galileo who developed the background for little "g" as a force, and the equation of distance and time, d=1/2gt^2 or t=(2d/g)^1/2, for bodies in vertical free fall acceleration. The old cock did this by rolling marbles down ramps, and dropping garbage off the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but the formula is more than a touch defective, since it makes no allowance for weight or density or maximum acceleration by different weights. Every weight naturally reaches a maximum velocity in free fall, and a finite weight cannot accelerate infinitely.
The formula d = 1/2gt^2 may be okay as a basic sort of outline concept, gained from rolling marbles down ramps, but it puts no limit on velocity increasing by t^2, and it has no regard for the significance of weight and density in the first place. A finite weight cannot accelerate infinitely, and the formula is really only saying 5 meters times whatever seconds squared. Since "g" is 9.8m/s^2, it is around 10m/s^2, which is simplified as 4.9 or 5 meters, as t^2 is left from (s^2)^2.
For example, in the case of the falling apple of 25 stories, 4 seconds squared times 5 equals 80, which for rounding off simplification is close to 78.4 meters. The distance in meters, or displacement force of "g", is approximately as simple as 5 times whatever seconds of fall squared.
This formula method that Galileo developed may seem convenient, but it leaves the full complexity of distance, time, and velocity of weights in vertical free fall a little bit short. And, of course, it was made for an ulterior purpose anyway. After rolling marbles down tricky ramps and his other shenanigans, Galileo created this equation strictly as part of his heliocentric methodology and to prop up "gravity" as a susbtantial and constant force in physics. Since natural theories of motion referred themselves to an Earth that was established and immoveable, and that was a completely simple and authentic inertial frame of reference, Galileo and heliocentrism had to develop alternative and "relative" ... rather than authentic ... theories of motion and physics. Galileo's theory of the constant force of gravity, and his false law of falling bodies were part of this program.
His absurd law of falling bodies is that the speed of a falling body is independent of its weight, density, and mass, and that under the influence of gravity alone all bodies fall with equal acceleration. Thus, according to Galileo, if gravity is the only force acting on a weight that is in free fall, its fall is described as uniformly accelerated, and the acceleration of all falling bodies is the same for each second during which any weight falls.
This sort of ridiculous game is kept up by heliocentric doctrine even today, because "gravity", as a constant force, is needed to explain the crazy theory of heliocentrism in the first place. Remember it is said that the Sun is driving the Earth around it in revolving orbits because of gravity. But like heliocentrism itself, upon closer examination, "gravity" really turns out to be only a mechanistic and abstract intellectual expression.
The fact is heavier weights do accelerate more in free fall. They do fall faster. The bigger they come, the harder they fall. Every mover knows that what is heavier is harder to lift, and to move, and it falls faster. Lifting is to falling as falling is to lifting.
Galileo's law of falling bodies is completely absurd. However, just as gravity as a constant force is needed for the theory of heliocentrism, the law of falling bodies is necessary for gravity to make any sense as a perpetual force. As a unitary, mechanistic, and perpetual cosmic force of heliocentrism, gravity must act uniformly. It must act constantly and instantaneously, otherwise it would not be universal, and so cosmic, and it would have nothing to do with why ... the Earth could supposedly be flying around and orbiting the Sun ... which, of course, it is not.
For the idiocies of heliocentrism to chew gum and walk, a constant and instantaneous force of cosmic and universal agency is needed as a substitution principle for two fundamental constants that already confirm the science of geocentrism. The two constants of true geocentric science are:
1. the immobility of the Earth and
2. the constant proportionality between qualities and elements.
Big G and little g are needed as constant substitutes for the evident balance and harmony of the Earth that is not moving and for the constant proportionality that is in the various qualities and elements.
Here then are three key components of Galileo's system of substitution:
1. gravity as a force
2. law of falling bodies
3. undetectable motion of the Earth and "relativity"
Two disingenuous examples that Galileo used to advance his theory of fall were a storm cloud of hailstones and two weights attached by a rope. A third example that came later with the invention of the air pump in 1650 (Galileo passed away 1642) is a coin and a feather let go in a limited "vacuum" of highly rarefied air. NASA famously attempted a demonstration of Galileo's law of fall, with a hammer and a feather, on a contrived movie set in 1971, as part of the TV entertainment of their completely faked Apollo 15 Moon landings.
Section II
Teaching that objects with different weights do not fall at different speeds, Galileo was wise to look for some confusing conversational examples. For instance, he would say, hailstones come in many different sizes, and they all reach the ground together. If heavier weights with greater density fall faster, the heavier hailstones would have to be manufactured higher up in a storm cloud than the smaller and lighter ones ... and exactly the right distance higher up so that they reached the ground alongside the lighter ones formed at lower altitudes. It seemed rather unlikely to Galileo that the hailstones were being manufactured at different altitudes, so he said a much simpler explanation is that all hailstones are made in the same place inside a cloud, so they all fall together at the same speed, whatever their weight.
Therefore, large hailstones from a storm cloud landed on the ground at the same time as smaller ones because all falling objects accelerate due to the force of gravity, independently of weight, and, therefore again, at the same uniform speed in free fall.
But when ships are caught in storms at sea, and they are in grave danger of sinking, they dump the heavier cargo and tackle first, to keep the ship afloat. Sinking is to falling as falling is to sinking, and nobody on a ship in trouble in a bad storm at sea wastes any time with Galileo's false law of falling bodies, "that all weights fall at uniform rates". Sailors in serious trouble dump the heavier cargo and tackle first. There is more buoyancy in air and water with things that are lighter, but according to the everlasting idiot Galileo, throw a few sunflowers overboard to help save the ship, and it is as good as throwing out a crate of bowling balls.
He also reasoned that if two bricks of the same weight and size fall at the same speed, side by side, they ought to fall at the speed when cemented together. Therefore, a single brick should fall just as fast as the heavier two bricks cemented together. However, Galileo's principle of equivalence is not how honest companies do business. Shipping, packaging, and the cost of gold go up with weight, and it is not all equivalent. Two bars of gold cost more to buy and to ship than one.
Besides accountants, other scientists and colonels, many people have disagreed with Galileo. When honest investigators have taken the time to conduct tests of falling bodies, their weights and measures, they have always discovered that heavier weights do accelerate more and fall faster. One story is that Galileo and some old school doctors dropped various cannon balls from the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and Galileo was clearly proven wrong. The heavier cannon balls always landed sooner, but Galileo would not admit his error. He only backtracked, stiffened his neck, and claimed it was because of differences in air resistance, and that the differences in fall between the big cannonballs and the little ones were small, and not nearly so great as the difference in their weights. It could only be air resistance, friction in the atmospheric affects, that made the difference Galileo claimed. And besides, he would say, the errors of the of the old school Aristotelians overall were egregious. Their mistakes were much greater and more emabrrassing than his own, because they still insisted that the Sun orbited the Earth and the Earth was not moving.
For one last illustration, imagine for a moment, Galileo would say, that it was true that the heavier the object, the faster its fall. What would happen then if a small rock and a big rock were tied together, with some slack in the rope joining them, and they were thrown from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa ... some other day?
On the one hand, the tied-together rocks would fall slower than the big rock alone, because the small rock would lag behind the big one and bog it down; but on the other, they should fall faster because added together they constituted a greater weight.
He admits that in free fall the smaller lighter rock accelerates less and falls behind the bigger heavier rock and says that since the littler rock is tied to the bigger one, it slows the bigger one down. The rope would lose its slack from the smaller rock dragging behind the bigger rock.
But the bigger one added to the littler one represents more weight than the bigger one by itself, yet now in combination the total weight of the two rocks together, which is greater, is falling slower in free fall than the bigger one would by itself, so, in this case, a greater weight in combination is falling slower than a lighter weight.
This sort of convoluted distortion of a coincidental, accidental, marginal and very loosely contrived situation like this meant to Galileo that in order to avoid absurd conclusions, logic would force science to conclude that all objects fall at the same rate. This idea that all objects fall with a velocity independent of their weights was crucial to the theory of gravity. If Galileo's law of fall should fail, then so would the theory of gravity. And that would be the end of the theoretical basis of heliocentrism in the first place.
Galileo's sophomoric trick was to confuse people by keeping things as marginal and equivocal as possible. He uses deceptive methods of equivocation and insufficiency in the margins with no good purpose in sight, other than to entertain himself by confusing innocent people. The correct thing to do, then, is to look for some greater clarity to avoid his stupid and devised obfuscations.
So take a 500 lbs. anvil and a ping pong ball and drop them tied together (pin the ping pong ball to the other end of the rope) and then separately. Either way it will become evident that heavier weights do accelerate more and fall faster, and where would the mysterious power of gravity be in that?
It is not of any significance in the anvil, the ping pong ball, or the rope.
The truth is that there is no effective gravitational force, and it is never of any significant practical measure ... other than density, weight, and mass. Gravity is merely a coextensive property of things that are situated around in many different circles of elemental structure and design. At the most, it is only a coextensive attribute of being, of things that are, that are around and all over in circles; and the practical significance of it in physics would be nil except for the properties of vertical free fall and inertia, that are in the structure and design of things.
For example, gravity does not affect birds, and it does not affect the
hippopotamus. It does not affect anvils or forges, ping pong balls, or leaves. It never affected any of Galileo's rocks, bricks, cannon balls, or marbles. Gravity, as a force, is a most dubious and unscientific hypothesis. Between the very weakest and most undetectable fundamental force of physics, that cannot move the littlest refrigerator magnet or a marble on a glass table, and absolute level zero where there is nothing at all is the greatest concentration of the power of gravity. It is effectively a zero.
Gravity does not affect the wind or the clouds. It does not stop or bend light, and it does not move marbles. Gravity does not affect a wandering albatross or condor in flight, or an anvil made of helium. Natural creaturely exhaustion and boredom affect a wandering albatross or condor in flight, not gravity. A condor or wandering albatross could continue flying on the wind forever, and it will never be affected by gravity. Gravity does not affect a bird in flight any more than the wind or clouds. A condor finally lands on a tree on a mountain, because of its own natural repertoire in the interstices of exhaustion and ease, boredom and habit, not because of gravity. As gravity does not affect a bird in flight, it does not affect a bird when it is in a tree or in a nest either. Gravity does not even affect the biggest hippopotamus ... and not because it does not have wings. A hippopotamus rests in his warren of lake or pond many hours of the day, because of the beneficial bouyancy of water, not because of gravity.
For example, if science would quit lying, and it took a great hippo and a condor, instead of two rocks, and tied them together to test Galileo's law of fall from the steepness of a mountain cliff, they would discover that Galileo's law of fall and the heliocentric theory of gravity are wrong. After they were both tossed from the edge, the condor tied to the hippo could not fly, not because of gravity, because gravity never affects any bird in the first place, but because the hippopotamus was so gigantic and heavy. The hippo would plummet to the ground also, not because of gravity, but because air is too rarefied to support him without wings (without wings a duck cannot fly and neither can a hippo), and air lacks the more compact and resilient buoyancy of a body of water.
Gravity is not what brings down the condor tied to the hippo, and it is not what brings to the ground the hippo either. If an attached hippopotamus cannot bring a condor or wandering albatross to the ground because of gravity, then nothing can.
If on another day the hippopotamus had tried to rest in a pine tree like a little bird, he would break the branches not because of gravity but because of the lack of structural support for his weight in the branches. When he came crashing down, it would not have had anything to do with gravity. It would have been all between him and the little pine.
If gravity is not what pulls down to the ground, in vertical free fall, a condor and hippopotamus tied together and thrown from the steepness of a mountain cliff, then is it even a vertical force? Gravity is not an explosive, extra-extensive, or lateral force, but is it even a vertical one? Is gravity what brings a parachutist or trapeze artist to the ground?
Since the Earth is a sphere can gravity, little "g"(9.8), be an exclusively vertical force? The honest answer is no. Gravity could be an exclusively vertical force only if the Earth were flat. Gravity then, sorry to say (because so many poor scientists believe in it and that NASA landed on the Moon!) is not even a vertical force.
If the power of gravity does not affect an anvil made of helium, when it is dropped from 25 stories, how does it affect one made of balsa wood or another made of lead and steel plate?
If world science took a 1,200 lbs. anvil made of lead and steel plate, and another of the same spatial volume but made only from a thin but firm shell of balsa wood that was hollow on the inside, and then a third of the same volume in space as the other two but made from a light and durable balloon design filled with helium, and then dropped them from 25 stories high, they would obey Galileo's false law of falling bodies ... and his false law of gravity?
Of course not, they would not. The heaviest anvil would hit the ground first, and the helium one would fly away. If gravity is not a force between three anvils and marbles, birds, hippopotami, clouds, and the wind, then it is not a force between NASA, the Air Force, the Luftwaffe, and the Sun and the Moon and here and Timbuktu (which is where they should send Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve de Wall Street Scam).
The truth is gravity is not a force. It is not a power of any residual occult action-at-a-distance, and without it heliocentrism completely falls apart. Without it heliocentrism cannot stand, and due to the spherical nature of the Earth, if gravity is not a lateral force, then it is not a vertical one either.
Gravity does not move a helium anvil sideways in the air. The wind does that. Gravity does not drive things horizontally, and since the Earth is a sphere, if gravity does not drive things laterally, then it does not impel or pull them down vertically either.
Consider the two anvils made of lead and balsa wood. A 1,200 lbs. anvil dropped from a height of 25 stories at the Eiffel Tower(2"E), will fall straight down vertically with very little affect from the wind. But if science drops another 1,200 lbs. anvil from 25 stories in St. Louis, Missouri (90"W) or Des Moines, Iowa (93"W), at the same time, lateral lines are being formed, and gravity little "g" (9.8) would be acting sideways to Paris, which it does not. Gravity does not move things laterally, and none of the 1,200 lbs anvils dropped in Paris, St. Louis, and Des Moines would move sideways at all due to gravity. But they are moving sideways to each other due to the spherical nature of the Earth.
Therefore, since gravity, little "g"(9.8), is a hypothetical radial force emitted from the Earth itself, according to heliocentrism and NASA, then if it is not a lateral force when it is charged up by the displacement of a 1,200 lbs anvil in free fall acceleration from 25 stories, it is not a vertical one either, because the Earth is a sphere.
Gravity is not a lateral force, and the only way it could be an exclusively vertical one is if the Earth were flat. Since the Earth is not flat, but it is a sphere, gravity then is not a vertical force either. Therefore, gravity is not a power of any active measure in the displacement force of a 1,200 lbs anvil dropped in free fall from the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Gravity is not an actual power or force that pulls or pushes things. When the illusions of heliocentrism are removed, "gravity" still has a place as a term of popular usage, but it only refers to an ontological property of things as they are in synthesis, as a coextensive attribute of being in physics, logic, and math.
