<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have no problem with references to "I think" and
"assume" and such things. Fine, science is supposed to do that.
However, actual scientific value is only based on "solid logic" and
"experimental evidence". I think that several of you are frustrated that
modern Physics seems to overlook logic and experimental evidence.

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Immediately after saying "I think" then it is very
important to follow up by explaining WHY the thought is considered
logical. Without that, aome of you seem to believe in "anti-gravity" and
many other jdeas which are just speculations. Sure, fifity years ago, I
was intrigued by the possibility of "anti-gravity" and "time travel", but after
months of trying to find scientific basis for such things, I eventually
concluded that there is no actual evicence or logic for such thing. Does
that mean that somebody smarter than us might figure out better logic and
provide possible evidence for such things? Sure. It does not seem
that we are there yet. At least, not me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>A common problem isi that "incomplete logic" is
often considered, where poor conclusions then occur. You guys interest in
gravitation inspired me to realize that Newton's VECTOR gravitation formula for
us on Earth is not as "constant" as we might expect itt to me. Every day,
when the Moon is rising, there is a pretty significant gravitational vector
force due to the Moon that is horizontal, where the Earth's gravitational Vector
is then vertical. Six hours later, the gravitational Vectors due to the
Earth and Moon are in the same direction (but opposite) and so "your body
weight" has slightly changed. Then at Moonset, and then when the Moon is
at the Nadir, more changes in the actual Newtowian gravitational (Vector) force,
so the accurate values of that are constantly changing. Fairly simple
Integral Calculus math. Yeah, the effects are minimal, but certainly not
zero. I point this out as showing the importsance of being really thorough
in your math, and in always explaining WHY your conclusions may have
validity. To just say "I think" does not cut it in true
science.</FONT></DIV>
