Take time out to go to the local fair. Get on the inside horse on the
merry-go-round, and the outside horse's head (say Sirius) will be your
"north"- your pointer. Someone in the crowd of baby watchers will be
only offset by a very small fraction of a degree when the machine is
rotating, due to the light's flight time from watcher to you. But as
you go faster, or the watcher is further away, that image is NOT where
it was produced, ref the horse's head.

Do you really think that the form of the galaxy would be so stable, if
it has only done 65 revolutions (given max possible age according to
BB), since it was first formed???????????????????

And I told you, and you agreed, that the light
is not moving normally to the mirrors, but that
is beside the point. Henri, what is needed is
for you to take the experimental setup of Sagnac
and derive a prediction using your theory. Show
your working so that other people can understand
how to apply your equations for their own
experiments. That is what a theory is, something
that anyone can use as a predictive tool.

My expectation is that applying your BaT to the
Sagnac will give the same null prediction that
using Ritzian theory gives, but you have never
said how what you call "BaT" differs from Ritz.

Sorry, Henri.
I don't believe you.
Not very smart to bluff about something you don't
understand the consequence of.

Of course, Henri. :-)
Seen from Sirius, a Solar flare will obviously
easily be mistaken for a flare at Jupiter.

Of course there is no K2 star, Henri.
The observed K2 spectrum is predicted by the BaT, isn't it?
That's what the BaT predicts an Anrocles planets radiates, isn't it?
And the K2 spectrum is observed by Einstainania anyway,
and can not be trusted.

Of course there isn't, Henri. :-)
No K2 star - no eclipse.

But Algol isn't a GENUIN eclipsing binary, is it? :-)
So the second minimum is obviously not really there.
It is observed by Einsteiania only.

Of course, Henri.
The BaT can obviously explain the observed effects
which the stupid astronomers assign to Algol C.

No Algol there.

> The Algol curve is identical to the BaT prediction.

Except for the second minimum, of course.

But the second minimum is obviously not there,
it is only observed.
And as we know, observations can never be trusted.

It's not like it is invented by Henri Wilson.

>
> Androcles has produced the same curve.

Indeed he have.

Seriously:
The fact is of course that you and Androcles
have falsified the ballistic theory by demonstrating
that you have to use fantasy parameters which are wildly
wrong to mimic the light curve.
And even then, you miss the second minimum in the light curve.

To claim that all the observations made by Algol
are wrong is just too stupid.
Algol is observed at just about all wavelengths,
And every observation fits the fact that Algol is
a B8 star and a K2 star eclipsing each other.
And as always most of the information is found
in the spectra.

For example, the K2 star is very bright in the X-rays,
while the B8 is dark. The X-ray "light curve" has a deep
minimum when the visual light curve has its secondary
minimum. The reason is obvious.
http://www.edpsciences.org/articles/aa/abs/2003/49/aa0057/aa0057.html

You can retrieve data from the XMM-Newton satellite archive
and see for yourself.
http://xmm.esac.esa.int/external/xmm_data_acc/xsa/index.shtml


The BaT can't even get the light curve right,
not to mention the spectra.

I would like to say "nice try".
But I can't.
It was an extraordinary stupid attempt to divert
the attention from the fact that you have still
not realized that your statement:
"If the Moon were a fluid
it would break apart like droplets of mercury."
is factually wrong.

You must be a slow learner, though.
Because I told you:
| You would have to bring the Moon very close to
| the Earth before anything like that would happen.
| The critical distance is the Roche limit.
| The Roche limit for a liquid Moon is 2.86 Earth radii.
| The orbital radius is 21 times bigger than that.
| A liquid Moon would do just fine.
| And its shape would be the same.
| (A sphere slightly distorted by the tidal forces.)

That's why your statement reveals your ignorance
of Roche limits and Roche lobes.

Right.
Like I told you:
| But the two stars of Algol have different mass, radius and
| density, and the B8 is well outside of the Roche limit
| of the K2, while the K2 is just at the Roche limit of the B8.
| That is, the K2 fills its Roche lobe completely, and mass
| is transferred to the B8. So the K2 IS torn apart and there
| is an accretion disk around the B8 akin to the rings of Saturn.
| (This accretion disk is not stable, though. It is a transient
| disk; the mass transferred from the K2 bounces off the surface
| of the B8 and eventually falls back to the surface.)
|
| It doesn't happen in a minute, though.
| The mass transfer is in the order of 10^-11 solar masses per year.
| A star isn't a rigid body which suddenly can break apart.
| The outer layers are very thin gas.
|
| When a star overflows its Roche lobe, it doesn't come apart.
| The part of the star within the Roche lobe will be unaffected
| even if the overflowing mass will fall onto the other star
| and make an accretion disk around it.
| Which is just what is happening.
|
| What did YOU imagine would happen, Androcles?

To which you answered:
| I've told what would happen.
| One minute later and the model becomes this:
| http://www.nineplanets.org/saturn.html

Which reveals your ignorance of Roche limits
and Roche lobes.

Right.
Which you yet again have demonstrated in this posting.

Quite.
But my IQ of 9 suffice to notice your stupidity.

You are so stupid that you think your statement:
"If the Moon were a fluid
it would break apart like droplets of mercury."
is correct just because it starts with an "If".

Hilarious, no? :-)
