General Mills is an external force?

If you let the x's, the y, and the z represent Earth, and the o the Moon. You will find that gravitational force between y and o can not affect the force between y and z. Inversely the force on z by o will not affect y.

That much is true, but...

If the parallelogram xyxz were to rotate it would need to be due to something other than o.

That is not. o does cause a torque on the other figure. That is easy to calculate.

Last night I posted a message here. This morning I found every one angry at me. It has been my experience that 90% of all anger, comes from fear. What are you guys afraid of? I don't want your jobs I have grandchildren to raise. I have asked several times that you do the math.

I did.

It looks to me as if only one person has tried the math. They (dapted Posted: 2002-03-29 01:50) came up with 1.5 million years which BTW is wrong and you may remember I suggested a slight correction.
|
The way I remember it, not only did I also do the math, I corrected dapted's. You can look it up. I even showed my work.

Could someone (with credentials) please get out a chalkboard and tell us if that is correct?

I have an MS in math, I'm ABD in Geophysics, specializing in the shape of the earth. But credentials aren't important.
Because I have done the math.
