“The reason I have avoided answering your more esoteric questions is because” ... [excerpt: 1225]
“I have answered the question. You are the one that is lying mrjesse.” [excerpt: 1226]Either you did or you didn't. (Make up your mind already!)
“In fact there is no absolute frame of reference.” [excerpt: 1226]Thats like saying there is no Cartesian coordinate system.
“If I can't explain the 'simple' stuff to you I would be an idiot trying to explain the more complex stuff. In fact I think I am an idiot for trying to explain the simple stuff, but I don't mind being laughed at, or called dishonest, when I am right : )” [excerpt: 1225]Well, if your right, then you have no reason to not explain the more complex stuff.
I suppose you are correct but I get bored easily. Here goes nothing : )
LG - In fact there is no absolute frame of reference.
Fichori - Thats like saying there is no Cartesian coordinate system.
The question is whose Cartesian system do we use? Which one is valid? Look at this animation Merry go round the question is which frame of reference is valid? The person sitting on the merry go round or the person sitting on the ground. Or this reference from the same site here. Picking the frame of reference is important to understanding the problem and the variables involved. The frame of reference is arbitrary.
Now do you understand why there is no absolute frame of reference?
Normally I don't like to use references, but I liked the merry go round example. It also could be used to show the Sun and Earth just as easily : )
