Robert Bennet ## The Geocentric Testimony of our Tides A brief study of the near and far side effects of gravity https://vixra.org/pdf/1803.0224v2.pdf There are abundant attempts that try to resolve why the Earth’s high tides occur when the Sun or Moon are at both the near side and far side. Also an issue is why the Moon is more than twice as important as the Sun in determining local tidal ranges. Geostatics: Let us try to find the acceleration at points A and B with respect to the center of the Earth O, due to only the gravitational influence of Moon and Earth, as shown in the figure. O and X are the center of the Earth and Moon respectively. Let the radius of Earth be RE, distance between Earth and Moon be d, and the mass of Earth and Moon be mE and mM respectively. Acceleration to the right is positive. Note that RE << d = distance OX. Acceleration of point B aB is: ![[Attachments/Pasted image 20240330190823.png]] ![[Attachments/Pasted image 20240330204448.png]] Same math in another form: ![[Attachments/Pasted image 20240418025240.png]] ![[Attachments/Pasted image 20240415174205.png]] aB = −GmE/RE 2+ GmM/(d−RE) 2 ~= −GmE/RE 2 + GmM(1+2RE/d)/d2 Acceleration at point A is: aA = GmE/RE 2 + GmM/(d+RE) 2 ~= GmE/RE 2 + GmM (1-2RE/d)/d2 And aO is: aO = GmM/d 2 Thus, the accelerations of point A and B with respect to O are: aAO = aA−aO = GmE/RE 2 + GmM (1-2RE/d)/d2 - GmM/d2 ~= GmE/RE 2 + GmM (1 - 2RE/d)/d2 - GmM/d2 ~= GmE/RE 2 - 2GmM RE/d3 aBO = aB−aO = - GmE/RE 2 + GmM (1+2RE/d)/d2 - GmM/d2 ~= - GmE/RE 2 + GmM (1+2RE/d)/d2 - GmM/d2 ~= - GmE/RE 2 + 2GmM RE/d3 Replacing the Moon with the Sun will repeat the same calculations...with mM => mS and d => D The combined effect of Moon and Sun – acting in the same straight line – is aAO = aA−aO ~= GmE/RE 2 - 2GmMRE/d3 - 2GmSRE/D3 ![[Attachments/Pasted image 20240330204538.png]] aBO = aB−aO ~= - GmE/RE 2 + 2GmMRE/d3 + 2GmS RE/D3 So aAO = -aBO and aAB = aAO – aOB = 2AO = 2GmE/RE 2 - 4GmM RE/d3 - 4GmS RE/D3 This is the acceleration difference from the near to the far side, caused by the gravitational attraction of the Earth, Moon and Sun...to order(RE/d and RE/D) Since aBO = −aAO , on both sides of the Earth, water will be trying to accelerate equally from the center of the Earth, causing the same tides on both sides of the Earth. ![[Attachments/ezgif.com-animated-gif-maker 3.gif]] ![[Attachments/Pasted image 20240330204643.png]] ![[Attachments/Pasted image 20240330204949.png]] ![[Attachments/Pasted image 20240330205019.png]] ![[Attachments/Pasted image 20240330205030.png]] ![[Attachments/Pasted image 20240427233628.png]] What is the ratio of the lunar acceleration to the solar acceleration of the tides....aM/aS? Based only on the static gravitational forces above, the ratio is aM/aS = [2GmMRE/d3 ]/[ 2GmSRE /D3 ] = (mM/mS)*(D3/d3) In MKS units: mM = 7.35*10 22 kg mS = 2*1030 kg dd = 3.84*108 m m D = 1.5*1011 m aM/aS ~= 2.35 theoretically... due to geostatics. Here are the values of the Moon/Sun tidal force ratio, aM/aS, as cited by online sources: Physics forum 2.16 NOAA 2.5 Hyperphysics 2.27 Wiki 2.22 NJIT 2.2 <Average> 2.27 Gravity only – no dynamic central forces = 2.35 ..a difference of 3. The Moon’s acceleration of the tidal water is more than twice that of the Sun at the New Moon alignments. The geostatic prediction is consistent with a cosmic model where the Earth is stationary. Only gravitational forces produce the tides. Geokinematics: The Moon causes no Centrifugal Acceleration on the Earth’s tides because the Earth doesn’t orbit the Moon....the Moon orbits the earth. But the Sun causes a Centrifugal Acceleration on the Earth in the consensus heliocentric model: On the far side: CAS = V2 /D = (30+.47)2 /1.5*108 = 6.2*10-3m/s2 V is the earth’s orbital speed D is the AU. On the near side CAS = V 2 /D = (30-.47)2 /1.5*108 = 5.8*10-3m/s2 At the center O: CAS ~= 6.0*10-3m/s2 How does CAs compare with aS, CAS/aS...the Sun’s centrifugal acceleration of the earth compared to its gravitational acceleration ? aS = 2GmS RE/D3 ~= 5.1 * 10-7 m/s2 where G = 6.67*10-11 CAs/as ~= 6.0*10-3 / 5.1 * 10-7 = 1,170 Result – the central force caused by the Sun compared to the gravitational acceleration toward the Sun is almost 1200 times larger! Were this true, the tides would be a thousand times higher than reality... This is wildly beyond the size of aS and aM,whose values do give the correct tidal range! Summary 1. Since gravity alone explains the tides - the first conclusion is that CAs does not exist – CAs is zero. 2. The second conclusion is that the Earth does not orbit...Geocentrism. This result adds to the burgeoning experiments that test and confirm the geocentric hypothesis. Static gravity alone accounts for the observation of the double tides on opposite sides of the Earth and the different range of the lunar and solar tides. When the centrifugal acceleration of the Earth’s [alleged] orbital speed is added to the gravitational accelerations, the HelioC theory is exposed as fictitious. There is no evidence of a centrifugal acceleration ...or force... in the tidal behavior. This agrees with other tests, like Newton’s Bucket, Sagnac’s rotor and R. Wang’s linear Sagnac version. They also support an immobile Earth. Conversely, there are no proofs by testing by scientific method or realistic interpretation of the tests that the Earth orbits the Sun. The rise and fall of the tides around the world is a semi-diurnal repetitive demonstration of the Earth’s central position in the universe. ## The Geocentric Testimony of our Tides A brief study of the near and far side effects of gravity https://vixra.org/pdf/1803.0224v2.pdf Bennet;s Paper summarized and revised by AI ### The Geocentric Perspective on Tides: Gravitational Effects Examined ## How to explain the simultaneous occurrence of high tides on both the near and far sides relative to the Sun or Moon and why the Moon's influence on tidal ranges significantly surpasses that of the Sun. ### Understanding Geostatics To grasp this, we analyze the accelerations at points A and B concerning Earth's center (O), focusing solely on the gravitational pull from the Moon and Earth, as illustrated in the accompanying diagram. With O as Earth's center and X as the Moon's, we consider Earth's radius (RE), the Earth-Moon distance (d), and their respective masses (mE for Earth and mM for the Moon). Here, acceleration towards the right is positive, acknowledging that RE is considerably less than d, the distance OX. #### Acceleration Calculations - **Point B's Acceleration (aB):** Calculated as the sum of Earth's gravitational pull and the Moon's, adjusted for distance. The approximation simplifies to a mix of Earth's and Moon's gravitational influences, highlighting the inverse square law in action. - **Point A's Acceleration (aA):** Similar to point B but considers the additional distance of RE in the Earth-Moon gap, leading to a slightly different gravitational influence from the Moon. - **Center O's Acceleration (aO):** Defined purely by the Moon's gravity, emphasizing the constant pull experienced by Earth's center. #### Relative Accelerations The acceleration differences for points A and B relative to O illustrate a nuanced gravitational interplay, resulting in symmetrical tidal forces across Earth's diametric points. This symmetry underpins the dual high tide phenomenon, irrespective of the Moon's or Sun's position. #### Tidal Forces: Lunar vs. Solar When substituting the Moon with the Sun, the calculations follow suit, replacing lunar mass and distance with solar equivalents. The juxtaposition of lunar and solar influences crystallizes in the acceleration difference from Earth's near to far side, laying bare the gravitational forces at play. #### Key Ratios The lunar to solar acceleration ratio (aM/aS) emerges from static gravitational considerations, presenting a theoretical backdrop to the observed tidal dynamics. This ratio aligns closely with various scientific sources, underscoring gravity's sole role in tidal formations. ### Geokinematics and Centrifugal Forces The heliocentric model suggests centrifugal forces due to Earth's orbital motion around the Sun, contrasting the geocentric view where Earth remains stationary. The comparison of centrifugal to gravitational accelerations reveals discrepancies, challenging the heliocentric tide explanations. ### Conclusions 1. **Gravity as the Sole Tidal Force:** The absence of centrifugal acceleration in tidal phenomena supports a geocentric stance, where Earth's stationary position aligns with observed tidal patterns. 2. **Earth's Static Position:** The analysis bolsters the geocentric model, complementing findings from other experiments that question heliocentric assumptions. This investigation into tidal mechanics not only reaffirms gravity's pivotal role but also invites a reevaluation of Earth's place in the cosmos, echoing historical and modern inquiries into our planetary system's dynamics. ![[Attachments/ezgif.com-animated-gif-maker.gif]] ![[Attachments/Pasted image 20240330203742.png]] ![[Attachments/Pasted image 20240418034917.png]] + ![[Attachments/43.png]] ![[Attachments/44.png]] ![[Attachments/45.png]] ![[Attachments/46.png]] ![[Attachments/47.png]] ![[Attachments/48.png]] ![[Attachments/49.png]] ![[Attachments/50.png]] ![[Attachments/51.png]] ![[Attachments/52.png]] ![[Attachments/53.png]] ![[Attachments/54.png]] ![[Attachments/55.png]] ![[Attachments/56.png]] ![[Attachments/57.png]] ![[Attachments/58.png]] ![[Attachments/59.png]] ![[Attachments/60.png]] ![[Attachments/61.png]] ![[Attachments/62.png]] ![[Attachments/63.png]] ![[Attachments/64.png]] ![[Attachments/65.png]]
