Lol. You mean you can’t believe i have done that! More blind faith from the supposed science lover? When a scientist is asked if his shoes are tied, he looks down before answering.
Writing down your rambling thoughts doesn't make a scientific theory.
I agree! Only experiment can bear theory, which is one of many reasons why gravitation never was, and continues to not be today 3+ centuries later, scientific theory! It’s just erroneously/disingenuously misrepresented as such through standardized “education” from childhood.
What is your explanation for the effects that normal people accept are those of gravity?
We can discuss that if you like, but you should recognize how silly and illogical your position is. Demanding a replacement for something before you will even consider it is wrong is stupid and unscientific.
Why can’t you recognize/determine that something taught as science is incorrect without discovering an alternative first? Furthermore, why would one even seek to discover an alternative unless they first suspect/recognize that their current explanation is wrong? One necessarily comes before the other and is the driving engine of both knowledge and all of science. Have you given that any thought?
What is your alternative explanation?
Explanations are cheap - they are merely mythology. What matters is validation. Science is about experiment!
Abandoning the scientific method (newton wasn’t really a scientist, he is just misrepresented that way for modern scientism idolatry purposes) is what got us into this mess and introduced the unscientific fiction/mythology of gravitation into physics in the first place!
The explanation is simple, demonstrable, and experimentally validatable.
Weight is an intrinsic property of all matter. It is not imbued by magical fields of any kind.
What (primarily/chiefly) governs wether an object will rise (levity), fall (gravity), or neither (neutrality) is the relationship/interplay between the weight of the object and the weight of the media it displaces - nothing more. Archimedes had gravity (a scientific law millennia old) most all figured out 2+ millennia ago.
Formulate it and then conduct experiments to confirm it.
I have already done that! But i’m happy to go over it with you at length if you wish!
This tries to reinvent the wheel. People originally believed that, until we realized that weight varies both by location on the Earth and proximity to it, which is why a different intrinsic property was proposed, Mass, and weight is now defined as the product of both mass and the local gravitational acceleration.
What governs wether an object will rise [...] between the weight of the object and the weight of the media it displaces
Two problems with that, both of which have been already rehashed at length. The first is that buoyancy actually requires the acceleration of gravity to be present, making your argument circular.
The second is epistimological, basically boiling down to the metrology of what you are actually measuring. The problem is that weight doesn't change in vacuum (which btw is how gravity is measured - precisely timed falling mirrors in a vaccum chamber), and that buoyant forces can be measured separately from gravitational forces.
newton wasn’t really a scientist, he is just misrepresented that way for modern scientism idolatry
This part wasn't substance, but it is still wrong. He literally went against everything popular in his day. His most well-researched topic is literally him discovering that our timeline has been forged by jews. See Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms, Amended. He's considered a hero now, but was a heretic in his time.
Quite the opposite - it returns to it! It doesn’t reinvent anything, it discards junk and reverts to what was already known, experimentally provable, science for millennia prior to newtons popularized blunder.
which is why a different intrinsic property was proposed, Mass, and weight is now defined as the product of both mass and the local gravitational acceleration.
That’s incorrect, historically. Newton did not invent mass and gravitational attraction because measured weight varied anywhere on earth. This is all retroactively backfilled nonsense/mythology.
Weight varies minisculely for a plethora of known and experimentally validated reasons. Fictional gravitation is not one of those, and is not necessary or real.
Effective weight (what we typically measure - weight with the buoyant force included) is what is changing - intrinsic weight remains the same. Both mass and gravitation are entirely fictional, and exist only in equation. It is NOT coincidence that they annihilate one another and return to the real measured weight they began as.
The problem is that weight doesn't change in vacuum (which btw is how gravity is measured - precisely timed falling mirrors in a vaccum chamber), and that buoyant forces can be measured separately from gravitational forces.
Intrinsic weight - no, hardly at all (nuclear processes and atomic/molecular restructuring can, again minisculely, change it slightly). The rate at which things fall changes (this has to do with effective weight) - most significantly - with the media they displace/travel theough, but temperature, charge, and all sorts of other things can effect it too - again - extremely minisculely.
This part wasn't substance, but it is still wrong
Newton was not practicing science when he introduced the fiction of gravitation to solve an astronomical math problem. He was an alchemist and magician, and much more of a scholar and mathematician than he ever was a scientist. The myth that he is some saint of scientism is just idolatry.
but was a heretic in his time.
Did someone say he wasn’t?
Are you saying the “phantom time hypothesis” comes from newton originally? This sounds like spurious revisionism... But i am intruiged.
Quite the opposite - it returns to it! It doesn’t reinvent anything, [...]
You're discarding successive experiment, experiments which led to the discarding of the theory you are proposing. You then are compensating for differences in measured weight by introducing another factor, which is the exact same thing that has already been done, hence reinvention.
You call are calling mass 'weight', and what everyone else calls weight, you call 'effective weight' - the terminology doesn't change what you are talking about.
Newton did not invent mass [...]
Correct. Mass is one of those old 'Grecian fluids', which were originally thought to be intrinsic and govern their respective interactions. Other examples are 'time', 'inertia', 'phlogiston', 'caloric', etc. The concept of Mass is ancient, and closely models what we observe in the world.
[...] and gravitational attraction
This concept is also ancient, also dating to Grecian times.
Weight varies minisculely for a plethora of known and experimentally validated reasons.
Just in case you didn't know, buoyancy is one of those. I suspect you don't know the buoyant force is measurable, and is why certain things must be measured in vacuum chambers.
The whole problem with your idea (aside from the bad history, fact that it disagrees with experiment, improperly identifies dependent variables, etc) is that the buoyant force is measurable, and is, in air, a 3rd or 4th order effect. That is, the effect of buoyancy in air, due to its density (which is also measurable) is some 3 or 4 decimal places smaller than the measured effects of gravity, which, again, is just the phenomenon of measurable weight when next to massive objects, in a vector toward the massive object.
Both mass and gravitation are entirely fictional, and exist only in equation.
This is a good thought, but is quickly lost on the next line. Anything in our understanding of the world, whether equation (quantitative) or descriptive (qualitative) cannot be known to be true. It isn't just the math - math is nothing more than a language that helps describe things in terms of precise quantities. We use natural language for everything else.
That said, though trueness can never be known, wrongness can, and this is why we still use mass - it accurately represents our world to many decimal places. In short, it hasn't been shown to be wrong yet.
It is NOT coincidence that they annihilate one another
Descriptions in equations are not real physical things or actions, and are only used as descriptions of observed phenomena. Wait until you get into electrodynamics and have to deal with imaginary exponents when calculating delivered power. Again, the math doesn't pretend to describe the realities of how nature works, and assuming math describes realities will get you lost very fast.
Newton was not practicing science
Something isn't right about how this is worded - as if you assume that science is something that is 'practiced' by practicians. For all of recorded history, scientists were simply curious individuals, usually wealthy, who experimented in their own free time. In the 1930s, corporations started sponsoring scientists without strings, sometimes called 'free labs'. The last independent lab was run by Bell and closed down in the 1970s, as a fun fact.
Science has never historically been done by 'scientists' as a profession.
I personally am not one for idols in any field, but his enormous contributions are certainly worthy of note, from calculus, to contributions to flight, to cleaning up the known chronology, etc.
You're discarding successive experiment, experiments which led to the discarding of the theory you are proposing.
Not to my knowledge, no. There are no experiments which contradict my, historical, view. If you know of one to discuss, please mention it!
We still use archimedes’ principle today!
You call are calling mass 'weight', and what everyone else calls weight, you call 'effective weight' - the terminology doesn't change what you are talking about.
It seems that way at first glance, and is often taught that way - but it is incorrect. Certainly there are some conceptual parallels though.
Mass, like gravitation, is entirely fictional. It does not exist outside of equation and does not refer to any quantity of matter. The mass of an object does not refer to the matter - however weight does. Mass is simply mass - a calculated fiction with no reality. Weight, on the other hand, is a property of the matter itself.
It is NOT coincidence that when combined they return to the real and measured weight they began as.
Effective weight is the measured weight - which includes many sources of variance chief among them being buoyancy.
The concept of Mass is ancient,
The concept of matter is ancient. Mass is attributed to newton. Who do you think spoke of mass prior to the concept of gravitation existing to imbue it, magically, with weight?
This concept is also ancient, also dating to Grecian times.
Again, this is not exactly right - though the word gravity (not gravitation) did exist and was used by epicurus. He is who newton credits with the philosophically unsound (i.e. unscientific) concept of gravitation which newton invoked. It was stupid (and unscientific) then to assume that there must be an intrinsic magic that attracts all matter to all other matter, and it is stupid now for the same reasons. At least newton fully understood that when he invoked it to solve an astronomical math problem.
I suspect you don't know the buoyant force is measurable
That’s a silly thing to suspect. Real things are all measurable!
That is, the effect of buoyancy in air, due to its density (which is also measurable) is some 3 or 4 decimal places smaller than the measured effects of gravity
If true, that is interesting. However it doesn’t change much even if it were,
Minuscule attraction between some types of matter does not demonstrate the existence of the fictional entity contrived to explain it. It just isn’t how science works. If you want to prove that gravitation is real, and the cause of weight - you need to demonstrate that gravitation is a real entity in the first order (no - minuscule attraction between some types of matter is not that, that is merely attraction) and then experimentally validate the hypothesis that it is responsible for causing weight by manipulating it. Newton didn’t bother to even try to do any of that - why di you think that is? He famously didn’t so much as offer a hypothesis because he recognized and accepted that it could not be done.
In short, it hasn't been shown to be wrong yet.
You aren’t exactly understanding the “grift”. There is no mass to measure. There is no gravitation to measure. There is ONLY weight. Of course mass and gravitation equal the weight we measure - we ensure/define that they do.
It isn’t so much an issue or right and wrong, or true or false. It is an issue of real (empirical) or fictional (unemperical).
Again, the math doesn't pretend to describe the realities of how nature works, and assuming math describes realities will get you lost very fast.
That’s true, and a big part of my point. Mass and gravitation has been “sold” as real through the usefulness of such equations. I agree that a grave error has been made in looking for reality inside equation (it’s out here!), and get’s you lost very fast. The quantumnists are some of the biggest offenders, and people, in general, struggle with (and are encouraged to struggle/avoid) the difference between useful and correct.
It was also refreshing to hear your, correct, description of mathematics. Math worship is a scourge and i encounter it a lot!
Something isn't right about how this is worded - as if you assume that science is something that is 'practiced' by practicians
That is a part of my point, however science - especially today - does have a rigorous definition that outlines the something that is practiced (what we call the scientific method).
Even in the early formative baconian method, not much has changed. People who adhere to that method to understand nature are scientists and practicing science - those who do not aren’t.
It is fundamentally unreasonable to expect newton to “practice science” the way modern scientists did after him - however he certainly did do a lot of good empirical science - but the invocation of gravitation is not among that.
Science has never historically been done by 'scientists' as a profession.
That doesn’t bother me in the slightest! In my view, anyone who adheres to the scientific/baconian method is practicing science and is a scientist. Anyone who doesn’t - isn’t one even if they are a salaried/employed scientist!
but his enormous contributions are certainly worthy of note,
Completely agreed! I like newton, the arrogant agelastic prick.
from calculus,
Mathematics - essentially gravitation was invoked under his efforts as a mathematician - not an empirical physicist/scientist.
to contributions to flight,
I’m not aware of this. What are you talking about?
to cleaning up the known chronology, etc.
Scholar, this is probably the most appropriate term for newton. This is the first (second, technically) i’m hearing about any of that, but i am intrigued. In what way did he clean up the chronology and where/when did you hear about this?
Lol. You mean you can’t believe i have done that! More blind faith from the supposed science lover? When a scientist is asked if his shoes are tied, he looks down before answering.

Lol, because i understand academia, and the journal racket.
I can do as you ask, but what would be the point?
It won’t change your (or their) unwavering faith one bit, sadly. Scientism is a scourge.
