I wonder why they keep pushing that example at you?

Something to do with conservation of angular momentum?

Maybe that has to do with this problem?

And...replace "arms" with "moon" and you're getting someplace.
========================================

Do you think!

Could Be!

I'm sure of it!

Yep, that's it!

OK, now what?
As I said, shoot the skater to eliminate the external force. The computer program the runs in our head, is an external source. We are not born with it and when we die we leave it behind.
Listen, I know all that stuff it's wrong.
Or at least my way is just as good.
During the last almost 4 months, no one has listened long enough to find a problem with my idea.
Whenever I say something that is against the book, they jump up and down, and wave the book at me.
All I ask is a fair shake. If I say something that is different from what's in the astronomy book, it needs to be verified with physics. If the laws of physics say I'm right then the astronomy book might be wrong. There are times when both can be correct but different. If I make a mistake I'd like a chance to correct it nobody's perfect especially me. Silas and others don't seem to like the way I use some of the terms. That's fine I don't mind being corrected, but beating around the bush or lecturing isn't going to help. I don't believe I make very many mechanical errors they are all here on this keyboard.

This past week has been really weird and I'm still not sure where we are with any of this stuff.
I'm quite certain my interpretation is close to being correct, but I sure don't get any positive feed back.

You mentioned something about bad teaching...this
is a hard medium to teach in! Besides, the ONLY
teacher a person ever has is himself.
Follow?
=======================================
I think I follow!
I really don't want to teach; I just think I have a lot to share.
I'm no genius I just think the astronomy books are wrong.
I'd like to share that if you'd let me.

What if we were to try it my way instead? I mean we've wasted 4 months already what's a couple of weeks?
