no i make NO argument about "mystical forces' i just clearly state the facts that ive read and clearly state that gravitational force is REAL!!!as you yourself have just admitted!!!!!
even if as you say it is miniscule(spell?) etc, it is still there and it is REAL!!!!!
do you have any links or papers to ack up what you are saying????because I am very interested!!!!!
I'm not denying that the moon's gravity is real. What I am saying is that ir is so tiny that it's lost in the background noise of the millions of other vaiables which would affect the growth of a plant.
What do you need sources for?
If you look at gravity, it's an inverse square law.
F = (G*m1*m2)/d^2
This means that distance is very important
lets have a look at the moon 's impact on a small plant (0.2kg):
F = (6.667×10^-11 NM^2Kg^-2*7.3477×10^22 kg*0.2Kg)/(3.75×10^8 M)^2
=
7x10^-6 N (a tiny tiny amount - forces *far* greater than this include, opening and closing a door near the plants etc)
now lets have a look at the impact of a grotesquely fat man sitting 1cm from the plants; (same again but replace the moon's weight and distance with the fat man's)
(6.667×10^-11 NM^2Kg^-2*2.5×10^2 kg*0.2Kg)/(1×10^-2 M)^2
=
3.3×10^-5 N
Oh noes, look at what we have here, the gravitational force of an extremely fat man in close proximity to your plants is nearly 5 times bigger than the moon's!
My point is not that gluttonous men can be used to help grow plants wink wink
