Yeah, and the joke is that you don't understand the difference between Weight and Mass...something that even a first year Astronomy student would certainly know.

Remember, I am throwing out at least two of Newton’s laws: A body can only remain in motion if there is a sufficient ‘inertial field’ surrounding the body to maintain the motion. Likewise, there is no action at a distance: We are attracted to the sun because the inertial framework of the sun extends well beyond our planet. This force becomes so weak that distant galaxies are only attracted to each other if there is literally a connecting trail of matter between them.
This all sounds very nice...and doesn't make a lick of sense. You can't just "make up" the rules as you go along...where is your evidence to support your claims?

This is all EXTREMELY speculative, but I need it to explain why a universe that is not expanding is not contracting.
You're right...you need something...but "this" ain't working for ya.

I've gotta agree...the more Jerry posts...the more he demonstrates that he doesn't have any idea what he is talking about.
