Hi, I'm A Non-Mathematical TOE Modeller

[common_sense_seeker]

Hi dleviwing, I flunked my A-levels and then got a degree whilst employed at the DRA which became DERA, and then changed to Qinetic. I agree with you that the Moon will pull on both the seawater AND the mantle, but the vast majority of which will be on the Earth's inner core which then transfers to the mantle.

I've just seen on the TV that Dark Matter was invented to explain the formation of galaxies. My theory incorporates the formation of galaxies before the big bang. This is totally new as far as I know. There is no practical evidence to support dark matter, so I therefore propose that it probably doesn't exist.

BTW, where does the name come from? dleviwing

AL,

If ever in the near future you get the chance of studying advanced math solving the Laplace equation and the Poisson equation then the mystery surrounding the theory of tide will disappear altogether. Newton had the same problem as you do until he formulated the universal law of gravitation. To date there is still no connection between color forces of quarks or weak forces of vector gauge bosons and the force of gravity. Your newly acquired math knowledge or uniquely developed math technique might solved the unification problem. See

AL,

my physics teacher said that the moon pulls the oceans to create the tides.

Incidentally, your teacher maybe forgot to mention the solar tide that the sun is also pulling the ocean and also the planetary tides all the planets are also pulling the ocean. see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_tides

I realise I'm only going to be taken even half seriously if the Standard Model is shown by the LHC to be fundamentally wrong. Hopefully the big event will take place fairly quickly, which I think will be good for science in general, what ever the outcome.

the Standard Model is shown by the LHC to be fundamentally wrong

The standard model of elementary particles is always correct but maybe not at the precision or accuracy you have in mind. Newton's universal law of gravitation was proven by Einstein's general theory of relativity to be off by a few digits or decimal places. Both are correct to the required approximations.

I simply don't agree. I'm convinced in my mind that Newton missed out the possibility of gravity having a directional component. The inverse square law is simple common sense of anything emitting globally from a point source. I think to say that all matter attracts other matter by this law is observationally wrong.

I can only demonstrate the disagreements using a tensor calculator but I dont have one at this time.

Hi, I can use logical analysis to give you something to think about. You mention that the Sun and planets all are shown to have an effect on the ocean tides, with which I agree. But why can't we sense the sun's gravity? In the morning, we can feel the sun's radiation of heat and our eyes can see the sun's radiation of light. But why can't we detect the rise of the sun by sensing it's rising gravitational radiation? The oceans show that there really is gravitational 'radiation' when the sun is present and yet it shows it's presence on nothing except the tides. Even with a 'tensor calculator', you couldn't measure the influence of the sun's gravity on everyday objects.

But why can't we sense the sun's gravity?

Principle of locality says that the gravity of earth is much much stronger than sun's gravity. If you get hold of a book, for example, Tolman (1934), Wheeler, et al (1972), or Weinberg (1972), or Ciufolini-Wheeler (1995) on gravitation and inertia then you might agree with what I have found out that E/r=Km/t where K is a non-symmetric tensor of the second rank.

But why can't we sense the sun's gravity?

But we can sense the suns gravity. The standard view is that people get out of bed in the morning as an act of free will. Yet it is free will which doesn't exist and the suns gravity which is responsible for people rising.

Try fighting against it; work nights and and try going to bed in the morning. You will just get more and more tired as time goes on. If it was just a case of free will that wouldn't happen.
