This is where you and I will part. The cause of gravity is still not fully understood so I am not willing to use the term "creates gravity". I am very willing to use the term "has gravity" or "is accompanied by a gravitational force".

ok, i'll accept that. ART is one caught up in semantical loop of his own creation as he always is.

Are you presenting this as evidence that a baseball isn't accompanied by a gravitational field? If so, right or wrong you have connectivity issues.

Now we are getting to some REAL hearty ignorance. Please find me a place in space "without any sort of gravitational influence". This is the common misconception people who don't study have of the 'weightlessness' in space -- that there is no gravitational influences as work.

You guys are a hoot.

PS: and the ball thrown is space WILL NOT travel at the same speed until it hits something, but rather will vary it's speed dependent on the gravitational forces it encounters. Space travelers (mechanical and human) use these forces in slingshot maneuvers to alter speed and trajectories.

I see....and you and others have thrown baseballs into space? You are funny ....you are so definitive in your answers..like you know from experience??? obviously the ball will change speed if it encounters other gravitational forces....but if it doesn't ? Heres a test for you and Gordon: take a baseball and put it near some feathers and some tacks.....if we came back and measured the distance two years later would they be closer? how about a million years later? BTW your beloved scientists created the whole 'things in motion tend to stay in motion theory'....so now you are saying they are wrong and your right??? I don't know 100% either way, but unlike you i don't claim to either.

I agree. He is using the scientific uncertainty surrounding the root cause of gravity as a semantic wedge.

And TM is just plain ignorant when it comes to gravity, space and the interactions of mass.

If encounters no forces then it WILL remain at the same speed -- that is not in question.

But I ask the simple question:

Where is space can we find a place "without
any sort of gravitational influence" (your quote)?

>BTW your beloved scientists created the whole
>'things in motion tend to stay in motion theory'....
>so now you are saying they are wrong and

Please show me where my statements have conflicted with the "object in motion tend to stay in motion" theory?

Closer to what? Closer than what? Can we use cotton and nails rather than feathers and tacks? How many is "some"? How close is "near"? Are we measuring across the San Andreas Fault?

I predict it will cure cancer.

Third grade teacher did not position themselves smugly as an "expert" in math claiming others to be ignorant.

Hey ART, did you use that on on your third grade teacher when she tried to teach you math? :)

Hey, one hardly has to be an expert to see though TMs ingnorance when it comes to gravity in space.

PS: Off to Mendocino for the weekend. Happy friday trading all and have nice weekend.

That's amazing GG. I think he's trying to say here that if the feathers and tacks don't move towards the baseball in a million years then the baseball has no gravity.

That's funny.
