Again, maybe you think my argument is nonsense, or irrelevant, or unintelligible. But it's not non-existent .
By the way, there have been lots of people who have claimed to have found things like "anti-gravity", "electrogravitics", etc., but so far, none of these claims could be verified by independent research institutions.
Only time will tell, if Bushman has hit the jackpot on this one. If yes, we'll probably know within less than 10 years. If not, the guy and his website will simply fall into obscurity.
You want a formula? Ok, that's easy ! I explained my point in words, pointed to links explaining the physics behind it in more detail, but admittedly, I haven't explicitly posted a formula for the location of Lagrangian Point L1 (your "neutral point") of the Earth-Moon system. So, here we go! From this page
en.wikipedia.org...

Maybe I am mistaken but is it not your claim that some people at NASA already know the moon has a breathable atmosphere? Or did you come up with this theory on your own, Please forgive me, as I am slightly confused on how you came to be the first and only person to believe the moon has a breathable atmosphere
Of course NASA knows. So do millions of others. We are talking about 'publically' here kleverone. That informatin is not in the public domain nor is it likely to be for many years to come. Thanks for your post.

Disappointing, very disappointing
:shk:
So one second you say no one else on this earth knows, then you say millions of people know but they all work for NASA?
So what you are saying is that these millions of people are all currently keeping a huge secret from us?
Do you see why you make it extremely difficult to believe anything you say when you seem to contradict yourself and then appear to go the extreme opposite to make it seem as though we should have just assumed that when you say no one else on this earth we should assume that it means you and the million or so at NASA.
I'm not saying that you are lying John but you do make it very difficult to believe you.

Kleverone, you are welcome to post in this thread as everyone else is BUT....you are going to have to read my posts carefully. Nowhere did I say "millions of people know but they all work for NASA". NASA doesn't employ millions of people.
I would be able to respond to this allegation a lot easier if I knew who was claiming the moon had a breathable atmosphere. Not only that but I would be delighted to learn that there is just ONE other nut-case on this planet that believes there is a breathable atmosphere on the moon. JUST ONE.
Of course NASA knows. So do millions of others. We are talking about 'publically' here kleverone. That informatin is not in the public domain nor is it likely to be for many years to come. Thanks for your post.
I am sure that there is a coherent thought in the above statement but I'm having trouble finding it. Perhaps you could rephrase it.
Did you mean to say that you are the only one on this earth who CLAIMS to believe publically?
That would make a little more sense because right now you are contridicting yourself every other post.
Or maybe I am not understanding you clearly.
If this is this case, would you please clarify? Who are these other millions if you are the only one who believes this?

So, here we go! From this page
That was the formula to calculate L1, your "neutral point" on the direct earth-moon line. Because R (earth-moon distance) is not constant, the distance of L1 from the moon's center varies between ~36,100 and ~40,300 miles (for distance from moon surface, subtract ~1,080 miles).
You see, a "neutral point" of ~38,000 miles from the moon is perfectly explainable using the "public" values for the moon's mass (and thus surface gravity). And to say it for about the tenth time: The fact, that Apollo reported their "neutral point" still further out (~43,000 miles) can be explained, because Apollo didn't always travel on the direct earth-moon line.
Mr. Lear, I know that you think that I don't have a point, regardless of what I say. Therefore the above calculation was meant for the benefit of those who have not yet made up their mind on the issue.

The contradiction may be because I failed to thoroughly explain my position. Sorry.
I am curious to know who told you about the breathable atmosphere? (I am sure you have said many times, but for the sake of me doing a huge search, could you please tell me again)

Nobody had to tell me what should be obvous. If vegetation thrives and people live and work on the moon there has to be at least a thin atmosphere.
Of course there are huge domes that cover many areas of the moon and that is because there is not quite enough atmosphere to stay out on the lunar surface for very long.
Wouldn't the atmosphere be visible from earth with a telescope?
What is the ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide? How can you make such assumptions without any type of control variable to make comparisons? It seem to me that you are assuming that since you thought you saw plant life that it must need atmosphere? This is not earth we are discussing so how could the same rules apply?

Well he did a very simple demonstration by plugging in a simole coil of #30 wire, 250 turns, into a wall socket... What happened was the coil levitated. Now this device as crude as it is burns out in a few minutes, but the point is it works. Anti gravity, Levitation, Gravity Sheilding, or electromagnetic repulsion from the Earths surface... call it what you like... it works

Easy there zorgon.....what's wrong with pointing the readers to a familiar source for the formula?
I'm an educated IT major, yet I still get the book out when I need to edit the firewall's iptables.

Thanks for the post kleverone. I particularly enjoy responding to those who have done their homework. Please come back now. H'eah?

The point is John provided facts figures and formulas and yfxxx is claiming his math is faulty...

Well, I'm gonna have to go with mainstream science on this one, no offense
Originally posted by yfxxx
No, I'm claiming that his physics is faulty! But obviously you (let alone John Lear) didn't understand this at all.
