GundamWing,
ANS: I was responding to this but I accept your meaning.(by the way, I don't know how someone can do a integral "long-hand"... either you integrate, or you don't... there is no "long-hand" method

Pending a final calculus evaluation as an intrim step I am writing a program that will compute areas in 1 degree steps to be able to show the inverse square relationship.

If you assume that all angles follow the inverse square law, then just follow the easy way and do all the line horizontally. Not that it woul either calculation actually proves anything.

ANS: Not sure what you are saying here. It is not that all angles are inverse square. It is the integration of all angles from zero to the maximum C.O.S. that is inverse square.

Well, this is interesting. The Geodetic Institute measures a 4.28E-9 deviation in gravity. hmmm...what's wrong with this picture....ohh yeah, last time I checked, the gravitational constant was only accurately measured to 6 count it SIX significant digits. Suddenly a 4.2E-9 deviation in gravity doesnt seem so significant or even measurable for that matter.The Geodetic Institute in Frankfurt, Germany measured a 4.28E-9 deviation in gravity during a Lunar eclipse in Norway in 1954. A mechanical view via UniKEF yields results of 4.2E-9 deviation predicted.

Yo guys now that 1954 was an historic low in solar storm / sunspot activity ---> coronal size ?
http://www.dxlc.com/solar/history/hist1954.html
compare with recent historical high:
http://www.dxlc.com/solar/history/hist2003.html
I wonder just how representative this makes the gravity measurement based upon lunar eclipse
Just Joking, but who knows some jokes contain might be true....

Helloween,
ANS: Perhaps you don't realize that 4.2E-6 Gal Deviation/980 Gal Field = 4.28E-9 delta. If that isn't your problem, I have included their address such that you might inform them that they didn't achieve what they claimed.Well, this is interesting.

Perhaps you just made that up. One Gal is approximately 0.0010197g, so a milligal (or mGal) is a very small acceleration, of about 10E-6 g (or 10E–5 m s-2). Any measurement that claims a 4.2E-6 Gal deviation would still require an accuracy on g measured of the order 10E-9. I still maintain that this is not possible given the 6 significant digit limit on the gravitational constant.ANS: Perhaps you don't realize that 4.2E-6 Gal Deviation/980 Gal Field = 4.28E-9 delta. If that isn't your problem, I have included their address such that you might inform them that they didn't achieve what they claimed.
Maybe you should be more skeptical of your friends at the institute. The mean Earth gravity is about 981 000 mGal varies from 978,100 mGal to 983,200 mGal from Equator to pole due to the Earth's flattening and rotation. Variations, due to density inhomogeneities, mountain ridges, etc., range from tens to hundreds of milligals. Hundreds of milligals is a gravity fluctuation more than five orders of magntude greater than the deviation your friends claim to have detected !Last edited by Helloween; 02-07-04 at 10:13 AM.

Perhaps it is you that don't seem to realise that if I can measure a 1 pound weight on a scale that can weigh a ton, you have a resolution of 5E-4, even though the scale can't measure 0.5 pounds.

READ WHAT I WROTE. THIS IS NOT ABOUT RESOLUTION.
You claim 4.2E-6 Gal deviation was detected. I claim 4.2E-6 Gal deviation is NOT POSSIBLE to detect, and I am working on YOUR scale. I will take you through the math that I explained in my last post.
10E-3*Gal = 10E-6*g
therefore:
10E-6*Gal = 10E-9*g
that was my quick 'in my head' calculation
the results of the actual calculation require the equipment your institute has to be able to detect fluctuations in g of 4.197E-8 m/s^2. This I claim is not possible because the gravitational constant has only been confirmed to 6 significant digits! In case you dont know about significant digits and the gravitational constant, that's 6.67XXXE-11. This means that any calculation of the earth's gravity can only be accepted to 6 digits! Fluctuations in g of 4.197E-8 m/s^2 are too small to detect now and were certainly too small to detect in 1954.
Your predicament is worsened by my next statement in my last post.
This means the earth's gravity fluctuates by as much as .1 Gal due to stuff that happens on earth. A 10E-6 Gal shift as you claim would be vastly overshadowed by fluctuations of that size.Maybe you should be more skeptical of your friends at the institute. The mean Earth gravity is about 981 000 mGal varies from 978,100 mGal to 983,200 mGal from Equator to pole due to the Earth's flattening and rotation. Variations, due to density inhomogeneities, mountain ridges, etc., range from tens to hundreds of milligals.

Helloween,
ANS: I understand YOUR predicment.I DONT WANT TO READ YOUR MAIL, I WANT YOU TO RESPOND TO WHAT I HAVE SAID.
You would rather argue with me and make unsupported claims than to argue with the results claimed by a recognized institute.
If you actually read their work you would see they have been very careful to take into account all pertabations before and after the eclispse by several days. The pertabation was infact recorded, as indicated, during the eclipse.
There is a lot of scientific information available on this just search the web for the 1954 eclipse.
This is not my mail, it is scientific data which you seem to want to disavow. Let me suggest it takes more than your word to undermine the work of this Institute. This finding is well recognized and accepted world wide. What is your problem.?
FYI I am adding Chapter 8, which is my vision of what caused the measured deviation and as approved by the letter from the Institute for publication referencing their work.

Once again, nobody cares that you've sent mail and recieved a response from the Geo. Inst..
The issue here was supposed to be your theory. Specifically, JamesR directed this thread towards any math that may exist. Currently, you have stated that:
1) Your theory reproduces an inverse square equation similar to that observed for gravity.
2) You have numercially solved this equation
3) The fact that the COS is not multi-source, multi-directional is an acceptable simplification.
The problem starts with number 3, and moves to others...
1) As we've discussed, you have not demonstrated that the COS is an acceptable simplification.
2) considering that the field is supposed to be omni-directional, there will be field lines that travel through both spheres horizontally.... where F is not related to an inverse square... but has a constant component.
3) The field lines in your COS example do not take into account that a substaintial percentage of the 'force' produced is not in the horizontal direction. You can not simply see how much mass it has gone through. You would need to account for the direction the field 'impacts' the mass to see which direction the force is in. This is a BIG deal, as any COS with large angles is very very wrong.
but, most importantly...
You have not shown a connection between your theory and the COS calculation (other then both of them being supported by you). Any credible scientist would show the steps needed to get from point A to B. You have not done this. "It's my vision" is not a valid step, and I think that you understand this.

Persol,
ANS:Of course not we wouldn't want any sort of confirmation that this isn't made up, especially if it comes from reputable sources.Once again, nobody cares that you've sent mail and recieved a response from the Geo. Inst..
ANS: Indeed, then lambast Helloween for introducing this aspect of the theory since it is not falsifiable. I addressed his assertion that "I made it up".The issue here was supposed to be your theory. Specifically, JamesR directed this thread towards any math that may exist.
ANS: Not a true statement. I have explained the calculation done. I have provided calculus done by a highly qualified physicist. The fact that it is difficult to follow since it wasn't prepared as a formal paper doens't alter the fact that it was done and has been made available.You have not shown a connection between your theory and the COS calculation (other then both of them being supported by you). Any credible scientist would show the steps needed to get from point A to B. You have not done this. "It's my vision" is not a valid step, and I think that you understand this.
Current efforts here are to duplicate the calculation in a manner that can be followed by all.

You completely didn't address my point. Yes, you showed the COS work. No, you didn't explain how this represents the field. Well, since I'm stuck in a country by myself where I don't speak the language... I had some time on my hands... and since it seems that you aren't going to simulate a multi-directional / multi-source field, I did it myself. I don't have any programming tools on this laptop, so I had to do it in Excel.

THIS is multi-direcitonal and multi-sourced. As I've explained MANY MANY MANY times, your COS calculation is not... and has nothing to do with your description of the UniKEF field. I've shown that the field as defined by you does NOT result in an inverse square law as seen by gravity, but results in a huge offset and other problems.
