Warning: Gravity is "Only a Theory"

by Ellery Schempp
Gravity: It's Only a Theory | NCSE

All physics textbooks should include this warning label:

“This textbook contains material on Gravity. Universal Gravity is a theory, Not a fact, regarding the natural law of attraction. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered.”​

The Universal Theory of Gravity is often taught in schools as a “fact,” when in fact it is not even a good theory.

First of all, no one has measured gravity for every atom and every star. It is simply a religious belief that it is “universal.” Secondly, school textbooks routinely make false statements. For example, “the moon goes around the earth.” If the theory of gravity were true, it would show that the sun's gravitational force on the moon is much stronger than the earth's gravitational force on the moon, so the moon would go around the sun. Anybody can look up at night and see the obvious gaps in gravity theory.

The existence of tides is often taken as a proof of gravity, but this is logically flawed. Because if the moon's “gravity” were responsible for a bulge underneath it, then how can anyone explain a high tide on the opposite side of the earth at the same time? Anyone can observe that there are 2 -- not 1 -- high tides every day. It is far more likely that tides were given us by an Intelligent Creator long ago and they have been with us ever since. In any case, two high tides falsifies gravity.
[...... Big snip........]
It is not even clear why we need a theory of gravity -- there is not a single mention in the Bible, and the patriotic founding fathers never referred to it.

Finally, the mere name “Universal Theory of Gravity” or “Theory of Universal Gravity” (the secularists like to use confusing language) has a distinctly Socialist ring to it. The core idea of “to each according to his weight, from each according to his mass” is Communist. There is no reason that gravity should apply to the just and the unjust equally, and the saved should have relief from such “universalism.” If we have Universal Gravity now, then Universal health care will be sure to follow. It is this kind of Universalism that saps a nation's moral fiber.

Overall, the Theory of Universal Gravity is just not an attractive theory. It is based on borderline evidence, has many serious gaps in what it claims to explain, is clearly wrong in important respects, and has social and moral deficiencies. If taught in the public schools, by mis-directed “educators,” it has to be balanced with alternative, more attractive theories with genuine gravamen and spiritual gravitas.​

I've decided to repeal the law of gravity. Here goes. I feel myself getting lighter. Now it takes both hands to hold onto the keyboard. I had better turn on the voice typing feature........there, that's done. Now I can conti.......I am losing my grip..........HELP ME!!!!! I AM RISING UP FASTER........ hisssing sound.

That's another stupid person that ignored science. Darwin takes care of them sooner or later.

Every time a person proves it by jumping up and not coming down, they float off into space, get sucked into the sun and burn up. They never get the chance to file the paperwork.

Another Dolt.
Scientific theories, tho FACTS like Gravity, do not get "Proved."
Only Math deals in "Proofs".
Theories get affirmed over time and become Facts as well.
Facts do not necessarily need "proof" just repeated true observation and predictability.

In fact, Most Murder convictions don't really have absolute "Proof," but lots of Circumstantial EVIDENCE that leads to Conclusions (not really "proof") beyond a reasonable doubt.
Evolution has a better evidentiary case than most of those convictions.

Once again prove it and quit your babbling...

"Prove" this is a message board you 12 IQ Asshole.
Facts do not need "proof", and the vast majority don't have them.


And of course, if Evo isn't true, then Kweationism is.
Yet, unlike Evo, There isn' even ANY evidence for God/Dog, much less proof.

Now back to Infowars you Proof Poof.

These different usages are comparable to the opposing usages of "prediction" in science versus everyday speech, where it denotes a mere hope..."​

1. Evolution is only a theory. It is not a fact or a scientific law.

Many people learned in Elementary School that a theory falls in the middle of a hierarchy of certainty—above a mere hypothesis but below a law.
Scientists do NOT use the terms that way, however.
According to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), a scientific theory is “a Well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses.”
No amount of validation changes a theory into a law, which is a descriptive generalization about nature. So when scientists talk about the theory of evolution—or the atomic theory or the theory of relativity, for that matter—they are Not expressing reservations about its truth.

In addition to the theory of evolution, meaning the idea of descent with modification, one may also speak of the FACT of evolution.....

Right, one molecule looks at the other molecules and says, "Wow, he or she is really hot"

So how do molecules attract each other? You don't know? The hell you say.

It is mind blowing what we blindly accept. We accept "gravity" as existing like we accept darkness as existing.

Problem is, darkness does not exist, and gravity may be in the same category. No, darkness is merely a description of a lack of light. Light is what exists, not darkness.

Careful now. Our belief system is how we make sense of the world. Threaten that belief system, and we have a crisis until a new belief system can take its place.

We are wired this way because as the OP rightly said, we can prove precious little outside a math class. All we do is base our lives on a belief system that seems right to us and then assign things value based upon that system in order to make sense of the world and function.

So don't go making them have a nervous break down or anything.
 
Which is as retarded as the morons pushing the " Flat earth" bs. The moon is round, every other planet is round so earth just happens to be FLAT, and no gravity. And lets ad they just have to say it's from religion.

It has always puzzled me how people look up and see that the moon is round, the sun is round, and if you get a telescope the planets our round, etc.........only to insist that the Earth isn't.

A static universe, also called a “stationary” or “Einstein” universe, was a model proposed by Albert Einstein in 1917. It was problematic from the beginning. Edwin Hubble’s discovery of the relationship between red shift obliterated it by completely demonstrating that the universe is constantly expanding.
