I missed that part. Can you explain further?
That website needs a design update pretty badly. I don't think they're going to get it from the Greek company that did their current one either....
I hope they are wrong. I really don't want a galactic superwave to obliterate all mammal life on Earth within the next few decades. If they are...
Would you care to summarize some of the more notable points that book makes?
No, I don't. I've never had a physics class, so I am learning all of this stuff right now. Please direct me to all of the new ways of thinking.
Maybe density wasn't the right word for me to use. Lets say you were standing on a pile of sand. Wouldn't the individual grains of sand move more...
That makes sense, but only if my body was the only thing affected by the centrifugal force. Am I wrong in thinking that less dense objects and...
If the whole Earth were rotating that fast, would it not just grow in size and decrease in density? I mean, it wouldn't just be objects on its...
Right, but wouldn't it be closer to the Earth if it wasn't rotating?
That makes sense. Which seems to be pretty much what happens to the atmosphere. What about objects that don't fly off, but are accelerated towards...
Can you explain why I would never re-impact the ground? Edit: I suppose it would be because the Earth would have to be rotating fast enough to...
I didn't mean escape all of Earth's gravity. I meant that it didn't throw me hard enough that I would clear the Earth. The arc wouldn't be large...
No it isn't. Where does the acceleration come from? Yes it is. If you had a grid on the plane of the Earth's orbit around the sun and plotted a...
Ok, I see it now. Answering that question would require a really long time. The best thing I could do at this time of night is direct you to look...
You didn't ask a question. You paraphrased my question with a question mark after it and then answered it yourself.
Not really where I was heading with that. Think of if the Earth was rotating fast enough to sling you out into the air, but not fast enough for you...
How fast does the ISS move? I think it's about 7km/s. It is in low Earth orbit. What if the Earth was less dense, but had the same mass and was...
Think of if the Earth rotated 12km/s on its axis. Things would fly off of it and go into an orbit around the Earth. But what if the Earth was bigger...
Right, but then there is curved space time to make it come back to the surface. Edit: one other thing of note is that if you throw something off...
I think you're right about most of what you said, but if space is curved and the rotation speed is faster, then you would hit the ground with more...
