Of course he would. You can try it yourself by jumping when you're on a bus. I guess if you could somehow float for a while in midair, eventually you would stop and the bus or train would begin to move past you? It's probably a question of physics.Neo wrote: ↑May 19th, 2020, 4:20 pmI wonder. If a stunt-person is riding on the top of a train or bus, and if he jumps straight up into the air, will he necessarily always land back down on the moving vehicle? Or is there a significant chance that the vehicle will not be under him when he lands?
Likewise, if a man opens the sunroof of a moving vehicle, if he tosses a ball up in the air high enough, will it fall back down into his hand for him to catch it? At what point is the synchronicity of their inertia lost, and then both objects are no longer linked together? Is it simply a matter of distance?
My guess is, that probably once the smaller object is outside of the vehicle (the larger object), the synchronicity of movement or the transfer of inertia from the larger object to the smaller object is lost. To maintain inertia, the smaller object would have to be inside of the larger. Once outside of the vehicle (the larger object), anything can happen to the smaller object.
Yes, instead of gravity, I call this property of objects "protection."
What do you mean by "protection"? You mean like gravity? I guess they will say that gravity is like a tractor beam, so even if you are outside of Earth and in space, you will still be moving with the earth, just like if you stand on a merry go round, and you stand next to the horses, they will not move because you will be moving with them. That seems to be their theory? I don't know how one can prove it or verify it though. It seems a bit ad hoc, like something they just make up out of thin air to fit a theory.
If that's how it works, then what was the point of the Michelson Morley experience using lasers to detect the movement of the earth? If the lasers move with the earth, just like a ball inside a bus moves with the bus, then no movement should expect to be detected by the lasers and instruments right?
