For starters: The most common KE is for dropped objects. There is no
"work done" by the net force. There is only the uniform force acting
to cause a linear increase in the KE from second ZERO. If the force
(such as a rocket engine) is cut off, the KE at the last instant
before the cut-off will continue as a constant KE. Your supposed Work-
Energy Theorem is NOT the same as the Law of the Conservation of
Energy. If you can, find any place that says that WORK can increase
without there being a reaction LOAD. Zero LOAD = ZERO work done. Ha,

The diameters of both Sirius A and Sirius B have been measured. Sirius
A by Hanbury Brown and Twiss, using the intensity interferometer.
(Wikipedia has this being done at Jodrell Bank in 1959; I thought that
this was done at Narrabri somewhat later - the Narrabri instrument is
optical, Jodrell Bank was radio.) Sirius B has been imaged by Hubble.
Both diameters are known.

If your New Science is invalidated by already existing astronomical
observations, then we can save a lot of time by not bothering to do
experiments that aren't needed. Since checking your predictions
against astronomical observations only takes a few minutes, why not do
it?

Which is enough to tell you the total brightness, for an isotropically
radiating star. If you think that there is some reason that the
measurement might be inaccurate enough to save your theory, do exlain.

Again, just go outside at night and see for yourself - Sirius A is
very bright, and Sirius B is invisible to the naked eye.

The luminosity (i.e., total brightness) and the temperature are enough
to give you the surface area, at least to reasonable accuracy, simply
by approximating the star as a black body. How accurate is such a
black body assumption? Quite enough so, which we can tell from looking
at the spectrum.

Yes, you did. Alas, 1000 times the luminosity doesn't appear to give
1000 times the gravity.

Did you really not check this before? It's such a simple and obvious
check, the data are readily available online, and the mathematics is
trivial (not that you should need the mathematics to be so trivial, in
light of your tremendous mathematical ability). I wouldn't claim to
have a theory explaining everything without checking that it actually
explains at least the easily checked things.

Dear Timo: This is in reply to the END of your previous comment:

Send me a drawing of the relative size, weight and spacing of the
balls. I can approximate the gravity, especially, if I know how close
the big ball is to the closest one on the beam. There will be a more
pronounced gravity effect if the balls are fairly close together—like
six inches. Air turbulence will be the limiting factor for… “how
close”. Also, since I don’t know the torsion characteristics of the
wire, nor its length, I have little idea what the osculation frequency
will be. Ideally, you should put exactly 90 degrees of initial twist
in the beam, measured with highest accuracy. It’s important that the
wire stay perpendicular, and be twisted 90 degrees. I recommend that
you install a surveyor’s plumb Bob in line with the axis of the wire
so that you can be sure the beam wasn’t pulled… sideways when you
rotated it. A longer wire will be more forgiving of the accuracy of
the initial twist.

TIME how long it takes for the twisted beam to come to rest. Keep as
much air motion out of the room as possible. Do that with the
unheated ball, and tell me the time required for the beam to come to
rest, and the number of osculations. Also, tell me the metal type you
are using, and how hot you can safely heat the entire ball. Is 330C
the highest you can go? That ball will loose heat to the air so
quickly that the average ball temperature should be what is used. Do
you have an infrared, photonic thermometer? If so, you need to record
the ball temperature about once per minute during the likely fifteen
minutes or so for the beam to come to rest. My ‘guess’ is that the
heated ball will come to rest in 80% to 90% of the time it took for
the unheated ball. In a fifteen minute experiment, you should easily
be able to record the quicker time. Once you get that, THEN you can
start doing the higher math to figure the likely increase in gravity.
If you can document everything very well; even repeating BOTH
experiments, you should publish the results in a technical journal, so
a dozen or more interested physicists can tackle the gravity
implications. This is important basic science, that can have far
ranging implications in understanding the Universe, and conquering the
Universe! — NoEinstein —

No, I'm not asking what should the result be in a particular Cavendish
apparatus. I'm asking about the gravitational force between two balls,
and how large your predicted temperature dependence is supposed to be.

You say:

> Once you get that, THEN you can
> start doing the higher math to figure the likely increase in gravity.

but this is what needs to come _first_. It is very useful to have some
idea of how large some effect you're planning to measure is. If
somebody asks you to help measure the length of something
(accurately), you want to know whether to bring along a long tape
measure, a metre ruler, vernier calipers, a micrometer, or something
else.

How large is your predicted effect? Given this, one can see if
existing apparatus is sufficient, or if not, what apparatus is needed.

> Air turbulence will be the limiting factor for… “how

It is possible to do experiments in vacuum. Is it necessary to do the
experiment in vacuum? Thus the question, how large is the effect
supposed to be?

> Also, tell me the metal type you

Of course 330C isn't the hottest possible. 330C is double room
temperature, convenient for giving a quantitative prediction (16 times
radiated power, at 2 times the peak frequency).

If the experiment should yield a large enough effect at 330C (or even
lower), then it might well be better to do it at a lower temperature.
Less convection, etc. How large should the effect be at 330C? This is
very useful information in order to determine the best temperature to
try the experiment at.

Why should it take "higher math" to give a quantitative result? What
higher math? Of course, since you yourself have spoken many times of
your superior math skills, it shouldn't be a significant obstacle to
you even if "higher math" is required. Even with only a fraction of
your ability, it should be possible to do this easily enough, surely
in less than an hour. So why not just say how large the effect is
supposed to be?
