Measuring gravity during an eclipse
My theory would predict that gravity, as measured by a spring, at the earths
surface, would reduce during an eclipse. I have done a web search which indicates that there is a change measured, but not whether it is greater or less. More measurements were planned for the eclipse on Aug 11th. Can anybody her point me to a web source for the results? David F. Cox =========== I am a lay person with a curious mind (pun intended). I tried to do an intellectual experiment on how a universe could come into being through some form of continuous creation, and tried to explain away the red shift by other means "Tired light" etc.. I conceived my "Tiny pop" theory. However this failed to produce a universe created by unrelated tiny pop incidents, because each such incident would start a chain reaction, building an expanding universe consisting of growing clumps of matter arranged in a drunkards walk fashion. I wanted to go through the process of testing it against red shift data, but that task was beyond me all of those years ago. My interest got reawakened by a tr*ll cross-posting to a recreational songwriting group and me visiting here. Browsing through the "creative thinking" posts here I realised that another simple refutation of my theory would be if there was no gravity blocking effect. My theory has hosts of particles which mostly travel through matter without effect, but rarely collide, transferring momentum. The effect is a cosmic "Brownian" type motion. Mass has the effect of shielding from this effect, so that mass is driven towards other mass. "Gravity". Normally we measure the force of gravity at the earths surface as: Universe + (Sun - universe blocked by sun) + (Moon - universe blocked by moon) , During an eclipse we should experience : Universe + Sun - Sun blocked by Moon + Moon - (Universe blocked by Sun + moon) |

Havent you heard of tide? Moon, sun and to small extent other planets have
influence on earth. "David F. Cox" wrote in message ... My theory would predict that gravity, as measured by a spring, at the earths surface, would reduce during an eclipse.
