Planets Orbit Not Because Of Gravity Energy But Because Of Griff Energy

Have you not heard the saying "outside the force of gravity?"

so what do they do?

they are going really,really fast ,a bit like your car that you drive fast enough to bend inertia...and probably space and time aswell

I take that saying with others like "Jumping out of your skin" or "loud enough to wake the dead".. Just because it's a saying doesn't mean to say it's true..

As it's going around in circles and achieving nothing due to the OP not listening to anybody, it may as well be closed anyway.

Yes. I've also heard the phrase "would spin in his grave" - which is what Albert Einstein would be doing if he could read this nonsense.

Is there nothing more productive you could be doing with your time this morning ... like tidying your bedroom or doing your homework?

Suppose there is that

I think im wasting my time here but...

if i jump on earth, i return to the earth. theres gravity! i lose force because of gravity!

out in space, i just float away! i never get pulled to the earth because there is no gravity in space.

Newton did not have a rocket to test this.

I don't know which is worse, the circular reasoning or the flat refusal to read any of the sources that would have cleared up the original question within a couple of hours of it being asked.

Either way, this thread is clearly going nowhere and I'm not about to sit here watching our members get wound up into the sort of feeding frenzy that requires infractions to be issued in order for calm to be restored.

Everybody move along please, there really is nothing to see here. Thread closed.
