Actually, gravity, as an effect of mass was accepted as true, based on one experiment by an insane, and insanely rich person. Which, just happened to coincide with Newton's (he was the president of the Royal Society) Theory of Gravity he had just published. Of course, all the other "theories of gravity" were all disproved or discarded. And so, Newton won… and we all lost.
Cavendish, the insane, and insanely rich…
Picture from Wikipedia
Cavendish supposedly did this experiment (shown) in a barn, and took movement measurements with a telescope. And it is rumored that the balls where solid gold.
No one has repeated this experiment, because it can't be performed. However, with incredible coincidence, it resulted in just the right number for Newton's theory to be upheld. Such luck!
The problem with this experiment is that anyone near it would affect it. But that is minimal in comparison to any stray voltage. (Which can be caused by a breeze or sunshine.) Gravity being so much smaller of a force than electricity.
It is nearly impossible to keep the entire contraption at the same charge, across its entirety, so that you are reading gravity only. And, every time you have to switch the sides to measure things in the other direction, you will affect the electrical forces. Yes, just spinning the bar holding the balls generates electricity.
Think of it this way, if there was a force generated by mass, we could get paper to stick to a wall, and not by static.
(however, there is a force generated by removing the air between two plates.)
No one has shown a way to make this experiment work. Besides hand-waving.
They have had to make up more stuff, so that made up gravity didn't disappear
Since Newton, planets (balls of matter) have been proven given a mass so that they go around the sun which has a computed mass
All right, now that we computed all these numbers, then we figure out how much mass must be at the center of the galaxy, and that is a lot of mass, and we can't see that much mass, so it must have "collapsed" into a black hole.
And all was right with the world… as Modern Materialistic Scientists had viewed it.
Then Vera Rubins discovered something. Something so damning that she took a decade to report her findings. All the stars in a galaxy spin together as one, like as if they were glued to a plate.
This is completely a wooden shoe (sabot) in the machinery moment. The materialists had to defend their gravity! They thought up a lie, and they though it up quick! There must be matter (mass) that we can't see! And energy that we can't measure!
And so, dark matter was born, to explain where all the forces come from, to make the galaxy spin as it was photographed.
You will never find anti-gravity when gravity doesn't exist
People have been looking for the secrets of anti-gravity, never knowing that the problem was that gravity didn't exist. How do you find a counter force, to a force, that is absent?
However, people have found many things that fly or float in the air.
- In Tibet they had a group of monks who would go out each year, and with various horns cause rocks to float into the air and to fly where they instructed.
- The Nazi Bell floated by using liquid spun around very quickly.
- Scientists in Japan found that their gyroscopes, spun at very high RPMs and clockwise, lost weight.
- Scientists, and now garage tinkerers, have found that if they charge a capacitor up to very high voltages, it floats, higher, it flies.
- Even the simple helium balloon doesn't make sense. How is gravity strong enough to pull water down, but let the balloon fly? And if you say buoyancy, you will find that you have disproven half of gravity.
Imagine, in the near future, science gives up on mass as the source of gravity, and suddenly find out all kinds of things, advancing physics 100s of years, just because they finally got rid of one falsehood.
Most people consider gravity as a function of mass as completely proven and set in stone. Well, that is the way it is taught after all.
What really sucks is trying to discuss the theory of gravity, people look at you like your stupid, and say such things as "Well, you don't see us floating around, do you?" "If gravity doesn't exist, what is holding us down?" Fortunately, we are going to start seeing things that float in the air, like a car, i mean, like a helium balloon, but is a car.
There will be so much evidence that Newton was wrong, that most people will know it before science even works out that it should probably change the text books.
Modern Materialistic Science may dig in its heals, getting Neil to try to tell people to ignore their eyes. Things aren't just floating around. Gravity still exists. It would be amusing if it wasn't so sad. Watching "scientist" trying to stop the progress of science.
