The size of the orbit - which we can directly measure since this
binary system is very close to us - and the orbital period - which we
can also directly measure - together give us the combined mass of the
two stars. Where the centre of the orbital motion lies along a line
joining them tells us where the centre of mass is, and how that
combined mass is divided between them. The figures of m_A = 2M, m_B =
1M come from this. So, you now know where the centre of motion is,
relative to the 2 stars. If, according to your theory, this
calculation should be done differently, do it.

No, "luminosity" is the total emitted power. It already includes the
surface area. "Luminosity" = "surface brightness" times surface area.
As I said in the previous post. Sirius A radiates about 1000 times as
much power as Sirius B. This already includes the effect of surface
area. Yes, Sirius A has a much larger surface area - that's why it's
brighter. Go and look for yourself - Sirius A is the brightest star in
the night sky, and Sirius B isn't visible to the naked eye. It's a big
difference in luminosity.

Look up the numbers for yourself, at your fingertips via www.

You're the one who said that the gravity is proportional to the photon
emission. You didn't give any other usable quantitative model of the
strength of gravity. If the gravitational force should be found some
other way, perhaps you should have said so, and said how. All I did
was test the quantitative model that you gave me. If it's the wrong
model, why did you give it? If it's the wrong model, give the right
one.

One star emits 1000 times as many photons as the other, yet only
appears to have twice the gravity. This is compatible with
conventional physics, including conventional theories of gravitation.
If it isn't compatible with your theory, then perhaps reality has cast
its vote, the only vote which counts in science.

As I keep asking, and as you keep refusing to say: How large is the
effect supposed to be? In other words, how sensitive does the
experiment need to be to detect it? There isn't much point in trying
it without knowing this. Since you claim that gravity is proportional
to "photon emission", for masses above some threshold mass (which you
haven't explained or given even an approximate value for yet), and
radiation by hot bodies is well known and understood, why can't you
say how large the effect should be? A simple calculation, surely, and
should be trivial for you. Why not just answer?

For example, double the absolute temperature of the balls; easy to do,
just heat to about 330C. 16 times the radiated power, at double the
peak frequency, as compared with a room temperature ball. How much
larger should the gravitational force be?

You made this claim: the longer a theory is debated, the less its
validity. The roundness of the earth has been debated five times
longer than relativity has been debated. According to YOU, then, the
theory that the earth is round is five times more invalid than
relativity.

That's what it has to do with the price of eggs in China, John.

Be my guest to try. Looking forward to it.

Oh, yes, I have, John. You don't seem to remember anything that was
told to you the day before.
Do you like easy to read pages? Here's one for students at West
Virginia University:
http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~vawter/PhysicsNet/Topics/Work/WorkEngergyTheorem.html
"The energy associated with the work done by the net force does not
disappear after the net force is removed (or becomes zero), it is
transformed into the Kinetic Energy of the body. We call this the Work-
Energy Theorem."

The definition of work is in high school books, John.

Doesn't have to, John. The force is not solely responsible for the
increase in energy. The work is. The work is the product of both the
force and the displacement. That's how the work increases in each
second. It's simple, John. Seventh graders can understand it. I don't
know why you're so much slower than the average 7th grader.
