and also, what keeps the moon going around the earth? |
The moon produces a tidal force on the earth, which causes parts of the ocean to bulge. This bulge then pulls the moon forward, pulling it ahead as the earth's gravity pulls the moon toward the earth keeping it from floating away into space. |

There has been conjecture that there is a massive black hole at the center of the universe, so in essence the entire universe is in a way similar to our solar system as a whole.
Just picture one circle at the center which is the pull of the black hole on all the surrounding objects, and each massive surrounding object having a circle around them which exerts pull on all objects within this circle, ad infinitum. That's how I picture it. :wtf: |

April fools? I sure as hell hope so ;). If not then other planets have plenty of moons as well.

Assuming the train of logic that the universe is one giant swimming pool this logic does not hold true. If it were the case, than objects that were closer to the "center" of the solar system would have more "gravity" and attractiveness than objects farther away from the center. This is not the case ... all evidence leads us to believe that every source of gravity is the SOLE source of gravity unless there is a direct, influencing body. |

Why would objects closer to the center have more gravity? Assuming each object has its own influence of gravity on surrounding objects, and there isn't just one source of gravity.
And what if gravity is a force not in the third dimension? Then spatial differences are mute. |

your information is a tad old...
the bagle and socer ball ideas have been proved incorrect. |

| guys, you're arguing about an obviously flawed theory that doesn't even make sense... |

which theory does not make sence?
the bagel, socer ball and infinite universes are all proven possable. it has just been proven that our universe is not the socer ball or bagel type. |

yes its a tad "out there" so to speak. :p |

| i would just like to say that pressure is the term usually used for the force exerted by the atmosphere on the surface or within the earth, not between celestial objects. |

dude, who's coaching world juniors this year?
i bet it's tiina, no wonder will and darden are on it, with bob wang as an alternate, even though they're all good. |
i don't think tiina is actually
and i thought bob wang was on the actual team, or is he really an alternate?
heh and the other amherst guy who made the team sam roberts shoud be healthy by then but last week during practice he had a sick ass big right kinda into dardin's knee (which also is now ed up)
anyways, took sam a lil while to get up and tiina left with him and had will lead the rest of practice
he doesn't remember anything from that day at all and was a bit out of it the day after, but he's doin fine now
the joke's never gonna die though, people keep introducing themselves to sam even tho they've known each other for ages
and did jacob goldstein make the team?
i know misha(sp?) from NMH did, but i wasn't sure bout Jacob
yay hijack :D |
