... explanation that's complex. Photons have mass. I didn't even know they were Catholic... Black holes are where God divided by zero.- Stephen Wright. During the heat of the space race in the 1960's, the U.S . National Aeronautics and Space Administration decided it needed a ball point pen to write in the zero gravity confines of its space capsules. After considerable research and development, the Astronaut Pen was developed at a cost of about $1 million U.S . The pen worked and also enjoyed some modest success as a novelty item back here on Earth. The Soviet Union, faced with the same problem, used a pencil. Electrical force ...
292. Only Solar Systems with Jupiters May Habour Life [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... , evidence says, is what happened in our solar system, Lunine concludes. "The bottom line is, the asteroid belt certainly had much more material when the solar system was forming than it does today, and Jupiter was responsible for clearing most of that material out," he said. As the solar system formed, Jupiter's powerful gravity perturbed asteroids to accrete into larger and larger objects- terrestrial "embyros" as big as Mars or bigger- then tossed them into very unstable elliptical orbits. Those that hit Earth when flung toward the inner solar system delivered the water that now fills Earth's oceans. That happened when Earth was about half its present size. Lunine and ...

294. "Antigravity" Beamship? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... antigravity.htm "Beam Me Up Scotty" Anti-gravity: Fact or Fiction? Dearborn High video/computer students are the first high school students in the world to build an "antigravity???" machine for 2002-2003 Metro-Detroit Science Fair. Yes, you can say impossible. Yes, you can say it defies Newton's 3rd law of gravity. Yes, you can say it's done with smoke and mirrors. Nevertheless three teenage Dearborn High students, Luke Duncan, 16, Ethan Rein, 17, and Jim Bergren, 16, built and flew an "antigravity???" aircraft last Sunday in the school video/computer studio. It has no fans, no ...
295. Sagan's Appendices: A Quick Appendectomy [Journals] [Kronos]
... Venus; but in such calculations it is assumed (as an approximation) that the collisions were statistically independent events. Because the planetary motions inherently tend under their mutual gravitational attractions toward some sort of quasi periodicity, in which future near-misses can be causally related to past near-misses, this assumption is absolutely identical to the assumption that Newton's Law of Gravity may be ignored! (That is, the planets are regarded as non-interacting random billiard balls, an approximation used in the kinetic theory of gases.) For the reason indicated (planetary masses are comparable while the analogy with meteoritic collision seems of questionable applicability), I am skeptical of Professor Sagan's figure of 1023 to 1. ( ...

297. Metron [Journals] [Kronos]
... went beyond any immediate practical utility. Similarly, the geometry of Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and Greek buildings shows a concern with a precision that is irrelevant to the needs of architectural construction. The inner structure of the ancient system of measures, in which a fundamental element is the scaling of the units in order to take into account the specific gravity of wheat and barley, suggests that measurement became important when agriculture was "invented" in the area that goes from Syria to Iran. Probably it was in the wake of agriculture that a single system of units spread East and West. As soon as farming became the main source of sustenance, it proved necessary to know how to ...
298. The Rebirth of Nature [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of the process, showing that the transition was not necessarily so smooth or complete as has generally been assumed. For example, he quotes Newton as saying: "Tis inconceivable that inanimate brute matter should (without the mediation of something else which is not material) operate upon and affect other matter without mutual contact.... That gravity should be innate inherent and essential to matter so that one body may act upon another at a distance through a vacuum without the mediation of anything else by and through which their action or force may be conveyed from one to the other is to me so great an absurdity that I believe no man who has in philosophical matters any competent ...

... study [2 ] of Parker and Dubberstein (1956) effectively endorsed the Canon, so all may seem well. However, Ptolemy, also an astronomer, invented a model of the solar system, known as the epi-cycle model, which was found to be faulty by Kepler [3 ] and does not agree with Isaac Newton's Law of Gravity. Ptolemy also published the Almagest [4 ]which contains astronomical records of eclipses and these eclipses are dated by the years of the kings in the Canon. These were investigated by Robert Newton, a NASA astronomer, who claimed [5 ] that Ptolemy's records could not be observations as they agreed too well with the combination of Ptolemy's ...

... doubt. The Earth has had to be made mobile, with sliding land masses and sinkings and rising, to explain this fact, and with great stretches of time to accomplish what several very general tides, directed by exoterrestrial bodies, might in theory accomplish in short order. Strictly speaking, floods are waters seeking their own level. ' Gravity flow' is implied, whether a high cresting river is over-flowing a town's streets or waters from all Sides are rushing down into a huge basin from which the Moon has been wrenched to form an ocean. Phenomena often called floods' might be more carefully denominated deluges, tides, and tsunamis. Remaining as floods would be barrier-bursting avalanching ...
