Very likely, indeed. :-) There IS no limit to the stupidities you can utter, is there? :-) You have no idea of what a flare is, do you? :-) > However I might be inclined to agree with the tusselad that a small third > object does orbit the main Algol star. The "third object" is not a particularly small star. It is an A5 V. That means it is bigger and brighter than the Sun. But it is smaller than Algol A and B. > On the published curve, there is a small departure from our predicted curves > that might be associated with an object orbiting with the same period but > lagging in phase behind the main star. The orbital period of Algol C is 681 days, that is 235 times the period of the inner binary. The "small departure" from your predicted curves, is the second minimum when Algol A eclipses Algol B. Your "drawing program" is unable to mimic that because the degrees of freedom is too small. So you are unable to invent any fantasy data that will produce the correct light curve. > This star, if it exists, plays little part in the basic observed brightness > curve. Right. C is not eclipsing A and B, and it is too far away to have a great effect. It does have a small observable effect on A and B, though. > Algol is obviously not an eclipsing binary. Quite. The light curve is exactly as it should be if it were an eclipsing binary - with the second minimum and all - So according to Wilsonian logic, it obviously isn't. Paul

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. > > And what is it for Algol, that you are trying to divert attention away > from, tusselad? > Algol is not a binary, is it, tusselad? > But you want to draw attention to the Earth binary planet, don't you, > tusselad, but Earth II is not a fluid, is it tusselad? > You've fallen into the trap AGAIN, haven't you, tusselad? > You ARE a slow learner, tusselad. Sure, Androcles. When we discussed Algol, I wanted to draw the attention to the Moon by making you state: "If the Moon were a fluid it would break apart like droplets of mercury." And what I wanted to divert the attention away from was what I said about Algol, which you snipped: | 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. > | 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? :-) And now we can add: You are so stupid that you think that unless the Moon of the planet Earth would break apart like droplets of mercury if it were fluid, the rings of the planet Saturn cannot exist. Hilarious, no? :-) Paul

Of course, Henri. All observations are illusions, and what Roche calculated from Newtonian mechanics is based on Einsteiniana. The only data that can be trusted are those invented by you. So you are obviously right. Paul
