Wellll... there is no 'theory' of gravity. And not only planets, even you 'have gravity'. It has been observed that masses attract each other with a force directed along the line between the line of the centers of mass of the objects which is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them. This is no theory, it is observation. Thus Fg = G m1.m2/d where Fg = force of gravity, G = is the universal gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are both masses, and d = distance between the objects. In the earth at sea level Fg = g.m where g = 9.8m/sec.sq. = G.M/R (M = mass of the earth, R = radius of the earth) , m is your mass and Fg is your weight (the force that pulls you down). Interesting enough you exert the same force on earth, so when you are falling towards earth the earth is falling towards you (you don't notice because earth's mass is a 'little bit' greater than yours). So.... ALL PLANETS 'HAVE GRAVITY', AND ALL OBJECTS AND PEOPLE 'HAVE GRAVITY'. (of course this can be explained through relativity but Newton's formulas are good enough and simple enough for all practical everyday use). That's it, now you too have a 'superior intellect'. > > Virgil Bierschwale > http://www.virgilslist.com > http://www.tccutlery.com > http://www.bierschwale.com > http://www.bierschwalesolutions.com > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Ed Leafe > Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 7:11 PM > To: ProFox Email List > Subject: Re: [OT] Climate Expert Calls for Decertifying > GlobalWarmingSkeptics > > On Jan 18, 2007, at 7:59 PM, Virgil Bierschwale wrote: > >> Why yes I do, and I also understand that some planets have it and some >> don't. > > LOL!! > >> So which one is correct ? > > Certainly not the silliness of your first sentence.
