Balls Out Physics Episode 1.0: Planes Flying on a Spinning Ball
A problem for discussion involving a plane flying relative to a rotating Earth. In the problem were are a "stationary" observer watching the plane fly on a spinning Earth, so this is why the rotation of Earth is relevant. The problem is that the plane ends up with a greater velocity to the east than that of the north-south orientated runway that it is trying to land on. There must be some unknown force that can balance out these differences in velocities for ALL planes that fly east or west during their flights. How do we calculate this force? Where does it come from? The only way to get rid of the need for the force is to stop the Earth from spinning. If we can't calculate this, the Earth does not spin. We are able to calculate forces and velocities for all situations throughout Physics. There cannot be an exception for this. The problem also looks at the curvature the plane would have to fly over to get from one airport to the other. It appears that the plane would have to constantly "nose down" to follow the curvature. Please review, comment, and discuss!
Ball's Out Physics Episode 1.1: A Spinning Atmosphere
In this episode we look at how the equation for gravity was developed and the experiment that was allegedly used to determine the Gravitational Constant, big G. It appears that the original experiment is very difficult to reproduce and that is very questionable since it was performed over 200 years ago.
Conclusion Summary: I am 50/50 on whether the value of big G has ever been determined through experiment, let alone if Cavendish successfully performed it. After hours of research, I have not been able to find any video evidence of a simple torsion balance actually working. All I can find are articles that show pictures of devices and claim that they work. Many people are also claiming that they do not work. So it is possible that Cavendish originally estimated the average density and mass of Earth, and now his successors are keeping the illusion going by claiming that the value is changing through new experiments that may not be real. However, what is really important about this episode is understanding F=MA and how the mass of the Earth is calculated by setting the gravity equation equal to the weight equation. This sets the stage for episode 3, where we will look at the relationship between the centripetal force equation and gravity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh9Yu...

Balls Out Physics Episode 3.0: Centripetal Force, Gravity, and the Sun
Continuing from Episode 2, this episode looks at the relationship between Centripetal Force and Gravity, and how the relationship was used to build the solar system model. When the equations are set equal to each other, the mass of the planet or object that is orbiting the Sun is cancelled it out. This is accepted by mainstream Physics, however this seems to defy the very logic that the equation of Gravity is based on since the force depends on both masses. It appears that this was by design to make the Solar System model work.
Conclusion: The Solar System model was designed based on one Earth, orbiting one Sun, in one year. Therefore when the derived orbital radius equation from this model is used with a different period (time to complete orbit), what is calculated is the orbital radius that Earth (or an object with equal mass to Earth) would have for that period. If the mass of the object becomes larger or smaller than that of Earth, then the orbital radius, period, and velocity must all change because the force between the object and the Sun would have to change. Just because the math works out does not mean it is logical. The basic premise of the gravity equation is destroyed by cancelling the mass.

This is why I do not believe that human beings or any spacecraft have ever been to Space. Please watch with an open mind and formulate your own opinion based on logic.
Sorry about the video quality, did not realize that the dimensions were changed by the editor until it had been up for a few hours.
