At the behest of the Planet X believers at GLP, I paid a visit to Zetatalk.com and skimmed through some of the pages on the alleged Repulsion Force. What garbage!! This one is the first I stumbled across. It is one of the worse written and ridiculous things I’ve ever read, filled factual errors, mathematical mistakes, and a general misunderstanding of the Newtonian physics the authors are arguing against. If I didn’t know people took it seriously I would have found it a very humorous piece of satire.

Here are a few of the errors I found, and I read it so fast I'm sure I missed others:

Quote:
DENSITY of the Sun is 14.66 (Earth = 1) but not 0.23 as believed in present Physics
According to present physics the density of the Sun is 1.41 g/cc, not 0.23 (or 0.25 as quoted elsewhere in the page).

Quote:
There is a belief in present Science World that all Stars of the Universe, in the last stage will be turned into NEUTRON STARS and then into the BLACK HOLES.
This is completely false. Only the most massive heavyweight stars will end their lives as black holes. Middleweight stars will end up as neutron stars. Lightweight stars will do neither; they will end up as white dwarfs and then eventually black dwarfs. The more massive a star is, the more rare it is. The overwhelming majority of stars in the universe are of the lightweight variety. Proportionately, very few stars will end up as black holes.

As SRF is nuclear oriented force (SRF = MC^2) its intensity is million times greater than Gravitational intensity (G = M) in the Sun and Stars.
According to the authors, SRF is the Stellar Repulsion Force. I’m assuming C is the speed of light, as in Einstein’s E=mc^2 equation. If we are to take what the authors say literally, we can write the equation,

MC^2 = 1,000,000 M

There are two problems here. Firstly, C^2 is equal to 9 X 10^16 m/s, which is way larger than 1,000,000. Secondly, the units do not match. On the left side of the equal sign we have kg-m^2/s^2 and on the right side we have kg. This is impossible because units on both side of an equal sign must match.

Quote:
In the Solar System, 50% of the Gravitational intensity is converted into RETRACTION FORCE, which keeps the bodies in Spherical motion. Owing to this conversion, the gravitational loss is exhibited in inverse square law of G-Force (G = mm/d^2). Otherwise, G = mm/d would be followed.
First off, I have no idea what “spherical motion” is supposed to be, but that is the least of the problem here. This is supposedly one of the cornerstones of the entire repulsion force theory, yet the authors have committed a MAJOR mathematic blunder. The authors claim that gravitational force, which they say should be equal to G=Mm/d, is reduced by 1/2 because 50% of the gravity is converted to retraction force. Well folks, 1/2 of Mm/d is Mm/2d, not Mm/d^2. If this piece of wisdom was passed down to us by the Zetas, then the Zetas can’t do simple algebra. They are a race of ignoramuses.

Quote:
Centrifugal is fictitious force having no existence. Therefore, the existence of the Solar System itself proves the Sun exert REPULSION.
I agree with the first sentence here. Centrifugal force is the component of APPARENT force on a body in curvilinear motion, as observed from that body, that is directed away from the center of curvature. When describing the orbits of planets in Newtonian physics there is no such thing as centrifugal force. It is a common layman mistake to believe bodies in orbital motion stay in orbit because an inward force (gravity) exactly balances an outward force (centrifugal force). This is incorrect and the fact these authors, and others, are making such a layman mistake indicates they really don’t understand Newtonian physics.

In several pages I read on the Zetatalk site the authors write about alleged problems with Newtonian physics, specifically a supposed problem with the Moon’s orbit. Newtonian physics explains the Moon’s orbit PERFECTLY. The problem is the authors don’t know what they’re talking about. They try to blame Isaac Newton for their own ignorance; Newton’s laws work just fine.
