Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

Well I went and read it. Interesting. I see some flaws in it. (Yet will agree at times the effect gravity does push, I also believe at times it pulls in an over all (field well) game.)
Fun read, thanks.

Walter Wright's Push Gravity

I assume this man's theories are the ravings of a lunatic??

Not that i believe them... though i cannot dismiss or disprove them.

I stand corrected, there ya go, proof positive I'm not an astrophysicist, it's still a big hunk o rock tethered by an elastic band to the sun.

Actually, the seasons are a result of the TILT of the earth on it's axis and that tilt varies.  When the northern hemisphere is tilted closest to the sun = summer for the northern hemisphere and winter for the southern.  And the opposite when tilted the other way.

But most of the rest is correct.  With the HUGE distances involved (the orbital path of the earth etc) it will take a VERY VERY long time for the orbit to decay into the sun.  (the sun will probably explode even before this happens ... 10 billion yrs. maybe?)

And gravity.... hmmm.... what IS that?  Funny thing is... we still don't really know.  Why is the expansion of the universe ACCELERATING instead of slowing down due to gravity?  NOW we call it DARK ENERGY.  So gravity should now be renamed 'LIGHT ENERGY'? 

And what happens when you hit a baseball with a bat?  Magnetism (the charge of the atoms of the items) causes repulsion making the ball fly away.  You don't actually 'hit' the ball, only the magnetic field of the atoms of the ball.

Capt:

I am not an astrophysicist but the part where you say the tilt varies is not in agreement with my understanding.  Summer and winter are caused by the tilt of the earth relative to the sun.  So, we have a globe with a certain tilt on its axis and when it is on one side of the sun, the northern hemisphere is tilted more toward the sun (summer) and when on the other (due to its orbit) it tilts away (winter)  so, I was taught that the earth's tilt does not change but, it the area facing the sun does due to it relative position to the sun.  The tilt is constant relative to the earth.  I hope this makes sense.

Wilby:

Ah, so there is a wobble to the tilt.  Thanks for the info, I stand corrected.  however, as this stated it does not happen 2 times per orbit around the sun for summer and winter so, I was partially correct. (that is good for me, ha ha)
