1- the flat earth model does not have ANY gravity.
2- You cannot take the modern science definition of gravity and divide it up into "types" of gravity, because modern science does not do this. There is no "Newtonian gravity" vs. another type of gravity - there is only gravity, and it is supposedly responsible for objects falling and objects in space orbiting around other bodies in space.
3- The key part of the modern science definition is that gravity is a FORCE. It has the power to pull objects downward.
4- ....The idea that gravity is powerful enough to pull an earth to a sun, but yet light enough to let a butterfly fly above the flowers is absurd. A force cannot distinguish between objects and "apply itself" accordingly - that is nonsensical!
5- Objects fall when dropped due to their weight/mass/density and the buoyancy or lack thereof of the medium they are in.
6- So, this negates your version of geocentrism.
1- then FE has no credibility....
2- Actually....no. There is pulling gravity, like Newton's, and pushing gravity, like Fatio and LeSage. There's gravity with no medium (Newton) and with aether. The LeSage theory of ultramondane particles supplies a mechanism that produces the inverse square law and mass dependence of the force of gravity... Newton's theory has no mechanism that explains the cause of gravity ...which he admitted.
3- There's no evidence that gravity pulls rather than pushes ...both can produce attraction.
4- Gravitation depends on the mass/inertia product of the attracting objects. When one mass is enormous - like the Sun - the attractive force
is enormous. When mass is miniscule, like a butterfly, so is the gravity force.
Have you never studied Newton's gravity law?...apparently not.
5- Density is irrelevant to free fall properties.. random pieces of steel and wood have the same free fall properties.... Never heard of Galileo's Tower of Pisa experiment?
6- You are on the verge of another 'Ignored By' vote....for lack of due diligence in research.
Gravity is considered as a force or a phenomenon. Per Wiki:
Gravity is most accurately described by the general theory of relativity (proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915) which describes gravity not as a force but as a consequence of the curvature of spacetime caused by the uneven distribution of mass/energy; and resulting in gravitational time dilation, where time lapses more slowly in lower (stronger) gravitational potential....
2 issues:
Gravity is best described as a change of state in the fluid aether model....density or pressure or speed.
re Wiki:
Like the mass media, academia, jurists, politicians, bankers, ad nauseam..... Wiki is controlled by the liberal cabal of NWO globalists.
Editing by the public is subject to review by a panel of gatekeepers who censor and eliminate anything not conforming to their agenda.
Just from my experience in modifying a science topic:
basic scientific data that is neutral to the agenda is published. But any deviation from the party line is usually given death by attrition - an endless cycle of exchanges involving rewrites and objections until the issue is dead.
Just so you know..
Of importance to the subject matter is that one knows what was defined as formal heresy and what was not. It was a fixed sun that is the formal heresy because it contradicts Holy Scripture and its reading by all the Fathers. ......
1- We see here then the heresy is confined to the belief in a fixed sun. The position of the earth does not have any heretical complications, only right or wrong in faith.
The term geocentrism is given to the universe with the earth at the centre around which the sun, moon and stars turn. In other words it does represent the biblical moving sun as well as the earth at the centre of the universe.
The term heliocentrism is given to the universe that has the sun fixed around which the earth and planets orbit. In other words it represents the order that contains the heresy and the 'errors to faith.
2- So why Cassander(sic), do you you say the term geocentrism is a red herring.
3- Moreover, to be at the centre does not mean a mathematical centre, simply at the centre of the working universe.
4- What I would like is an explanation as to what exactly is "erroneous in faith.”
1- Judging by the initial postings, the theme of this thread seems to be more a concern over personal guilt re GC than its heretical import.
I doubt any reader has read the GF verses, rejected their truth and promoted GC to the faithful as contrary to the deposit of faith.
Anyway, the role of the intellect and will in determining the degree of sinful culpability re GC has already been covered in a previous post.
2- ge·o·cen·tric (je'o-sen'trik) adj.
G- the middle point of a circle or sphere, equidistant from every point on the circuмference or surface....the Geometrical/mathematical meaning
A- the point from which an activity or process is directed, ....the Active sense
P- the point upon which an activity or process is focused, .....the Passive sense
Wisdom 13:2 says,
.....but have imagined either the fire, or the wind, or the swift air, or the CIRCLE of the stars, or the great water, or the sun and moon, to be the gods that rule the world.
This would imply that the Earth is the center of the stellar circle, a mathematical intent.
But the geometrical G sense only became an issue with the Copernican revolt
...the G meaning is much more common in dictionaries than the A and P sense. 'geofocussed' would be a better choice than geocentric for the Earth's centrality, containing all 3 semantic contents. Or 'geocentral'...
central adjective
- of, at, or forming the center.
- of the greatest importance; principal or essential.
As used today GC ignores the A and P meanings and implies only a physical center which is ambiguous and a category error.
'geocentric' also does not include immobility, whose verse permeate Scripture. Immobility and centrality are indepenent concepts; a car wheel's axle can be moving....or not.
What scientific test would affirm that Earth is the center of tthe universe?
All in all ...a red herring
Geovariance - the discovery that the laws of motion are only obeyed on Earth - supports the Earth's immobility and centrality - in the Passive sense.
3- Did the Magisterium define 'at the centre does not mean a mathematical centre, simply at the centre of the working universe.'?
Is the meaning of the 'working universe's center' the passive sense of 'center'?
4- 'Erroneous in faith'? What is the context for this Magisterial question?...I never used it, to my failing recall.
