I've spent the same amount of years doing what I do, and I've read much of what you've posted which is quite a bit and I'm sure more than a few hours. Yet I prefer bits and pieces that I piece together to fit into my understanding. Some things I agree with, and some things I don't or require more information - point by point.
The standing point is not really related to my opposing Galileo et al., because I don't, but to clarify a main point of your position. You had told me: "But the earth moves through much more space in a given unit of time than does a rock, boulder or feather; while all the constituent particles expand uniformly and everything remains proportionately the same size." So if I were to read through your book, this is one of the points that would strike me. It seems to imply that like objects with different masses wouldn't meet the ground at the same time. |

Thanks for your sincere note.
Does a boulder grow disproportionately larger than a grain of sand when they're each lying side by side on the beach? Why should the boulder 'fall' faster than the grain of sand when the entire frame of refererence is rising up to overtake, meet and strike it and the grain of sand?
