Ojee, nu zijn we helemaal ons verstand verloren! Na al die anderen die zijn gaan flippen, moesten afhaken of doorsloegen is nu ook jullie rots in de samenzweringsbranding, Zapruder Inc., definitief van het padje af. Als er iets is dat wel onweerlegbaar is, is het toch zeker wel zwaartekracht? Wat anders houdt ons aan de grond? De relatie tussen HIV en AIDS bestaat niet, peak-oil is een afspraak, de aarde was vroeger kleiner, 9/11 was het werk van Bush Inc. en nu is zwaartekracht ook ineens flauwekul? Inderdaad, en waarom niet? Het menselijk brein zit zo in elkaar dat waarnemingen en gedachtes en verklaringen altijd moeten voldoen aan een onderliggende denkraam, je zogenaamde paradigma. Alles wordt automatisch zo verklaard dat het past binnen dit kader. Maar dit kader is ook maar cultureel en sociaal bepaald, het is geen waarheid per se. Hoe meer opleiding, hoe nauwer het kader zelfs is. Eén van de coolste dingen die je jezelf daarom kunt aandoen, is de grenzen van dat aangeleerde denkraam wegnemen en out-of-the box proberen te denken. Dingen zien zoals je ze nooit eerder zag. Voor ons van Zapruder Inc. niet zo’n probleem, wij hebben maar hele kleine boxjes en denken daar dus al snel buiten, maar voor jullie hebben we hier een oefening: verklaar de wereld zonder zwaartekracht. Want zeg nou eerlijk, zwaartekracht, wie bedenkt nou zoiets? In strijd met de meest fundamentele natuurwetten die we hebben (wet van behoud van energie). Makkelijk te ‘falsifiëren’ (zulke experimenten bestaan). Een onzichtbare invloed die op afstand, zonder dat duidelijk is waar de energie vandaan komt, die aan alle objecten groot of klein even hard trekt. Ja, zo kennen we er nog wel meer: tovenarij. De theorie achter dit FreshFM radio-item is trouwens bloedserieus, het heetExpansion theory, en we komen er op terug. Maar niet nu, eerst jullie brein oprekken.
...die aan alle objecten groot of klein even hard trekt.
Ik heb net naar dat Fresh-fm item geluisterd, het klinkt alsof je redelijk zeker bent van je zaak.
Zwaartekracht is absoluut niet in strijd met de meest fundamentele natuurwetten die we hebben (wet van behoud van energie). Gewicht is een conservatieve kracht en daarom is verrichte arbeid onafhankelijk van de weg, je kunt dus geen energie uit het niets creeren op deze wijze.
Intriguing, perhaps, but can this be backed by any solid experimental evidence? Einstein clearly believed Newton had gravity sizably wrong, initially following his own radically different space-elevator intuition before settling on his even more radical "warped space-time" concept, but can it actually be demonstrated that Newton and Einstein were both entirely wrong about gravity? Consider this drop-test example from the book and decide for yourself: Hang one object from another by an elastic band. The elastic initially stretches until its tension is in balance with gravity, but gravity also continues pulling on both objects just the same - always having the same unchanging and unrelenting force - trying to now accelerate both objects downward from this balanced starting configuration. If the upper object is released, gravity is finally free to immediately begin accelerating this entire system and all of its elements simultaneously and equally downward, as it does with all objects.
Crucially, this is very different from manually stretching two connected objects apart by hand then letting go, which removes one or both pulling forces from the system to allow the elastic to snap back. In the gravitational scenario everything should be constantly immersed in an ever-present gravitational field, first stretching the elastic before the drop, then accelerating this entire balanced system as a whole downward, with the objects then necessarily remaining the same distance apart, still separated by the stretched elastic. This is the expected and required result of both Newton's and Einstein's theories of gravity.
But this is not what happens. In practice, the elastic contracts during the fall, pulling the objects together. Yet, as explained above, the contraction of the stretched elastic during free-fall should not occur according to either Newton's ever-present "gravity field" or Einstein's "warped space-time continuum". But it should according to Expansion Theory, since the planet's expansion forcefully stretches the elastic before the drop, but unlike today's gravitational theories, this influence vanishes during the fall, freeing the elastic to contract as everything effectively floats while the ground approaches. This simple experiment would appear to seriously challenge both Newton and Einstein, according to the Scientific Method that states even a single negative result disproves any theory, yet it supports McCutcheon's Expansion Theory.

Op het Zapruder forum was men er ook al eerder bij: http://zapruder.nl/forums/viewthread/9917/
De stelling van het experiment was: Dat het hele systeem gelijk naar beneden zou vallen omdat de zwaartekracht evenveel aan B1 als aan B2 trekt, dus het hele systeem zou zo naar beneden vallen, ongeacht de kracht in het elastiekje.
Naar mijn mening is deze stelling dus fout.
Gravity
Expansion Theory states that all materials, regardless of density, expand at a given rate that is constant throughout the Universe, and that this explains how objects 'drop' near the Earth's surface. Density (symbol: Ï - Greek: rho) is a measure of mass per unit of volume. ...
This premise implies an acceleration of gravity proportional to the size of an object, rather than to the mass of an object, so it is immediately falsified empirically. The premise also implies an acceleration of gravity that is independent of distance, rather than decreasing as the inverse square of the distance, so it is again immediately falsified empirically. In addition, the premise does not account for closed orbits, i.e., if attraction were due to mutual expansion, then objects should not circle one another, because expansion is a purely radial effect. McCutcheon attempts to account for orbits by introducing the following:
The "New First Law of Motion"
Objects always either move towards each other or travel in curving or orbiting trajectories about one another due to their mutual expansion.
No justification or explanation of this "law" is offered, and it certainly does not follow from the basic premise of expansion. It amounts to nothing more than "saving the phenomena" by fiat. The fact remains that expansion theory is grossly in conflict with the simplest observational facts of gravity, such as orbits.
A common observation that would appear to contradict the theory is that the space between objects (for instance Sun and Earth) is not constantly shrinking. If all objects are expanding in a fixed amount of space then we would soon collide with the Sun, but we do not. McCutcheon argues that space itself is expanding with the matter it contains but macroscopic dimensions are either: (a) expanding exactly as fast as the matter within them, or (b) expanding more slowly. If (a) is true, it is equivalent to a shift of co-ordinate system, yielding no measurable effect, and in case (b) all gaps should shrink, when in fact, they do not.
"Since straight line motion itself is an optical illusion (like the impression that the sun and planets and stars all revolve around the Earth), if one builds one's theory of the motion of objects based on straight-line motion, one must then add in all sorts of constants and functions to account for the curvaceous motion of all observed objects. The same was true with earth-centered observations of the heavens. It IS possible to describe the motion of all of the planets, stars, everything, as series of functions of things orbiting about the earth. But the description is not smooth. You have orbits doing epicycles, and you have to use several equations to describe different parts of orbits, just as in the physics, where unobserved straight-line motion is postulated as the NORM around which the universe "must" be bent, we end up having to multiply entities and forces in order to make the observed universe fit the conception.
Since straight line motion has never been empirically observed anywhere, it doesn't seem like the place where we should start in order to define everything else. Curved and orbital motion are the observed reality. That is what all things actually DO. Starting there, one can calulate their geometries out rather nicely, with clearly functioning constants. McCutcheon seems to have done this geometric work for us."
Zijn formule werkt dan ook alleen bij bijvoorbeeld objecten in ons zonnestelsel, voor twee willekeurige massa's die zich nog niet in een stabiel ciculaire of ellipsbaan bewegen, werkt zijn formule niet en zal hij terug moeten vallen op de formule van Newton ...
Voortaan mik ik dat soort comment gewoon meteen weg.
Komt de wiskundige onderbouwing op wetenschappelijk niveau gedetailleerd aan bod in dat boek?
En hoe wordt deze theorie ontvangen in de 'mainstream' wetenschappelijke kringen?
Wat denk jij
In zijn boek laat hij door een eenvoudige herschrijving zien dat de formule van Newton helemaal niets toevoegt aan de bestaande formules van Keppler. Die 'g' valt er tijdens de herschrijving gewoon uit. Dat is makkelijk te te contoleren en best bijzonder als het inderdaad klopt,
