Theory explained in 3 parts
Newton's idea was the Earth attracts an apple, the moon attracts the tides,the Earth attracts the moon and ultimately the Sun attracts the Earth hence the 'universal theory of gravitation'. The upscale from the fall of an apple to planetary motion was done via Kepler's assertion that planetary orbital periods are loosely correlated to distance from the Sun but within Newton's scheme there are a number of things going on, most notably the attempt to connect small scale experimentation with astronomy via the 'scientific method'.

To show just how eight Newton was you just need to look at Apollo 11. The command module pilot gave this explanation to his five year old son so it might be simple enough for you. ttp://www.americaspace.com/2012/07/15/totally-different-moon-the-arrival-of-apollo-11/ Twenty-six hours into the mission, and almost 175,000 km from home, the Service Propulsion System (SPS) engine of the command and service module Columbia roared silently into the void for three seconds in what flight controllers lauded as an “absolutely nominal” firing. In his autobiography, Collins related that, for those few seconds, he was in active control. Several months earlier, his five-year-old son had asked who was ‘driving’ Apollo 8 to the Moon: was it Mr Borman, the ship’s commander? No, Collins replied, it was Sir Isaac Newton – or, at least, the influences of Sun, Earth and Moon, which affected the spacecraft’s path just as the great English scientist’s law of universal gravitation had helped predict three centuries before. |

Apollo 11, washing machines, computers are all engineering sciences much like medical sciences while this is an astronomy/terrestrial science forum where the motions of the Earth and the arrangement of the solar system affects experiences and life on the surface. The idea that the fall of an apples can upscale to planetary orbital motion is through a sequence of precepts outlined in the original presentation in this thread. It is fine saying that objects attract each other but Newton had to apply it to astronomical methods and insights and that is where it disappears in a cloud of slogan chanting, stock phrases, voodoo and bluffing. |

The Apollo 11 spacecraft, during part of its flight, orbited the Earth, and during another part of its flight, orbited the Moon. The Moon orbits the Earth. If what you're saying is that Isaac Newton's gravitation applies to artificial objects like the Apollo 11 spacecraft, or communications satellites like Early Bird or Telstar... but *not* to the Moon, you have to explain why both the Moon and a satellite do the same thing - orbit the Earth - for completely different reasons. There are *reasons* why people here are not open to the new ideas you're trying to present. John Savard |

The 'universal theory of gravity' is a byword for many things including the assumption that experimental sciences scale up to orbital dynamics -
"Lastly, if it universally appears, by experiments and astronomical observations, that all bodies about the earth gravitate towards the earth, and that in proportion to the quantity of matter which they severally contain, that the moon likewise, according to the quantity or its matter, gravitates towards the earth, that, on the other hand, our sea gravitates towards the moon, and all the planets mutually one towards another, and the comets in like manner towards the sun, we must, in consequence or this rule, universally allow that all bodies whatsoever are endowed with a principle of mutual gravitation. ." Newton That assertion sits on its own without any relevance to astronomical methods and insights that preceded it even though an attempt was made to make it appear that he was following astronomical discipline. This is an entirely different thread than any other insofar as any objectors cannot rely on engineering propaganda but must detail exactly, using Newton's own descriptions how the mutual attraction of the apple and the Earth is brought into the realm of astronomical observations, methods and insights and specifically that the planets demonstrate variable orbital speed as they orbit the Sun. |

You,and this means you, have to use diagrams,graphics or whatever else is at your disposal to render mutual attraction into orbital dynamics, something Newton didn't do nor any of his followers. I know you can't do it and that makes you a walking corpse in terms of astronomy and terrestrial sciences.. Stock phrases and slogans don't cut it anymore so get used to it. |

Are we to take it that from now on you will stick to your own threads? If not: Twenty-six hours into the mission, and almost 175,000 km from home, the Service Propulsion System (SPS) engine of the command and service module Columbia roared silently into the void for three seconds in what flight controllers lauded as an “absolutely nominal” firing.
