You know it's funny to declare GR cannot solve the twin paradox when it's in nearly every textbook on GR. Acceleration is easily handled in both SR and GR. It's simply a type of boost called rapidity. You can alternately use instantaneous velocities.

That comment makes no sense but so far without seeing your math. Nothing you have stated makes much sense. The CMB is literally everywhere in our observable universe you can even hear it's static on older radios that don't filter it out. It may surprise you to know that expansion has little to do with gravity but rather it's due to thermodynamics via the equations of state for each particle species. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_state_(cosmology) If you take a uniform mass distribution and apply Newtons Shell theorem gravity is zero.

Hence why I stopped adding to the mix. Once I saw you were progressing from their comments I didn't want to add any potential confusion. Threads can get too easily derailed.

No you get a daily allotment

I gave them the +1 each for you.

Depends on the asteroid composition. The usefulness of a laser is to generate outgassing. For example an icy asteroid if you shoot a laser at it would more readily generate water vapors which would then provide thrust.

The first relativity never used the ether for the observer nor the emitter. It used the ether to describe how photons travelled between the two prior to proving ether wrong through the Michelson and Morley experiments. Those experiments are far far more precise in modern tests. Either way if you look at SR the emitter isn't ether and the observer isn't ether. Nor did Galilean relativity which the Lorentz transforms is simply an extension of (the Gamma factor constant of proportionality)

Everything in this post tells me you never actually studied the mathematics yourself. Had you ever studied the mathematics You would know Neither theory uses Ether. Nor does it uses the ether for a observer or relative to. Your claims is not what either theory states. Each frame of reference is emitter /observer relative to each other not the Ether. So forget thinking Ether is involved in either theory. That is absolutely incorrect

As I mentioned you would need the math to show this. You keep mentioning your math so you should already have the math handy for us to examine. I can easily show you all the mathematics behind the FLRW metric but that wouldn't help determine why you have an issue with it. If it's an issue with not knowing how to latex the math in let me know and I can demonstrate how our format uses \[\frac{1}{2}\,] I placed a comma in the last part to prevent it from activating. Your description of using spheres for example tells me you should have a spherical coordinate system with some constant of proportionality for the scale factor however that's based on your description. I need your math for confirmation.

Monopoles is an interesting study for example it's potential would fall off at 1/r as opposed to 1/r^2 for dipolar, 1/r^3 for quadrupolar ie the combination of two dipolar fields. As opposed to quadrupolar in gravity waves. Boit-Savant law can be uses to solve for the above if I recall.

Absolutely both SR and GR are able to solve the twin paradox. The paradox wasn't due to any lack of ability of either SR or GR. They both have the same transformation rules. The paradox arose in SR simply because of the constant velocity treatment which was incorrect. Take the acceleration into account and both SR and GR will get the same answer. Fundamentally the only real difference between the two is GR is better suited for field treatments and handles curvature terms better. The other difference is that in GR there is no "at rest observer" . Both SR and GR use the same transformation rules. They both employ the Minkowskii metric though in GR the Minkowskii metric is used in the weak field approximation. \[G_{\mu\nu}=\eta_{\mu\nu}+h_{\mu\nu}\] Both are part of the SO(3.1) Poincare group. As they both use the same Lorentz transformation rules claiming one is incorrect while the other is correct is in error. Let's put it another way the solution to the twin paradox is identical in both SR and GR when correctly done

You might try including the math you speak of. First off you seem to have missed the detail that spacetime curvature vs flat directly describes the null geodesics of massless particles such as photons through spacetime. Hence we can test the curvature term by looking for distortions in the CMB.

My favorite method requires early detection take your spacecraft and instead of trying to trap it in a net. Which as mentioned isn't practical. Simply maintain distance from the asteroid and let gravity do its thing. Use the spacecraft plus the gravitational interaction between the two divert the asteroid to a new vector path. The further away you can do this the less change in vector angle that would be required for a miss.

I would like to touch a bit on this using Maxwell equations but also Lorentz force law divergence and curl of the Electrostatic field Gauss Law \[\nabla \cdot=\frac{1}{\epsilon_0}\rho\] \[\nabla \times E=0\] magnetostatic Field Amperes law \[\nabla\cdot B=0\] \[\nabla \times B=\mu_0 J\] Lorenz force law with Maxwell for the presence of both the E and B field (Maxwell equations fundamentally is another way of stating Biot-Savart Law (with superposition) just a side note. \[F=Q(E+v\times B)\]. so the electric field diverges away from a positive charge, (Gauss law) the magnetic field curls around a current (Amperes law). Electric fields originate form a positive charge and terminate on a negative charge. Magnetic lines do not begin or end anywhere and form closed loops as they have zero divergence. (though divergence can be forced). There is no point source for B ( not unless they ever discover magnetic monopoles lol). Now something interesting to note the magnetic field specifies an electric current.( A permanent magnet induces an electric current). So with the 90 degree phase shift between E and B using the right hand rule for Lorentz force law. The following statement applies. The magnetic field does no work.... so take for example a magnetic crane the work isn't performed by the magnetic field but rather the electric field as well as the cranes mechanical energy. This is something that isn't well known among laypersons unless they studied introductory electrodynamics and the Maxwell equations. Hence why I decided to mention it here as its related. The above is better detailed in Griffiths "Introductory to Electrodynamics". I've found his simplified approach useful as a reference in many of his books.

No problem, it all depends on how detailed or how far you choose to pursue the concept. One thing to consider however is that in order to look at stress and stain aspects. You require the force/work terms as well. For example far too often I've seen perpetual energy articles discussing some popularized perpetual device use nothing more than first order equations. However when the same setup gets examined using second order relations by others that the energy loss is found exceed the output power. As Swansont mentioned in physics one cannot arbitrarily choose to ignore this interaction (in this case different forces) or that but should take everything in consideration. Stress tensors are particularly useful in that as all forces are applied with a means of keeping track via the tensors regardless of angles. Not saying perpetual energy is involved here however the above is also useful for efficiency calculations.

We cross posted see my last post

Look at your own image is not the rotor plate larger than the magnets and the placement off center ? Now am I correct those magnets will be shifting inward and outward ? So as it shifts outwards as opposed to inwards you will get variations

Really explain how it's going to be distributed uniformly across the plate if the surface area of the plate is greater than the magnet. Go ahead give it your best shot. I honestly don't know why you can't determine your PE relations in regards to applied force I shouldn't have to explain something already shown via Hookes law you won't need the spring constant per se but the elastic and gravitational potential energy is applicable. Every detail I have provided including the stress tensors are applicable. Regardless of your opinion. I take it you never lifted a sheet of plate steel using a magnet and seen the outer edges flex downward due to gravity ?

Ok so your lifting the plate in say the center so the only upward force is at the center but you have a downward force uniform throughout the plate. Obviously there will be differences of the sum of forces from the edges and the center. Potential energy is energy due to location so obviously there will be differences as there is differences in the sum of forces at different points on the plate. Put simply which leads to non uniform strain.

What I stated still applies if the sheet will move without deformation it's still detailed under the Cauchy stress tensor. As far as the RH rule apply it separately to the E field and B field. The results may surprise you. The B field is perpendicular to the E field.

Yes the RH rule is precisely what applies but so does the stress/ strain relations I mentioned. Hence referring you to continuum mechanics. Your sheet will not have uniform strain as it's mounted on one side so to get an accurate calculation will involve more than Hookes law.

There is no dodge, I provided three related formulas that are easily looked up. Hookes law, the Em stress tensor, and the Cauchy stress tensor. The EM stress tensor will involve the cross and dot products mentioned by Swansont via the Maxwell equations. Maybe our mistake is assuming your aware the magnetic field has a 90 degree polarity shift from the electric field. Perhaps that will help understand the cross product terms Swansont mentioned. The best way to understand what Swansont has here is to look at the Maxwell equations. An introductory electrodynamics textbook will cover this. By the way it's also a common exam question As to what performs the work. The magnet or the E field.

Just a side note the better literature covering the Cauchy stress tensor is any decent textbook on continuum mechanics particularly for Engineers. However you would need decent math skills as well as a decent understanding on classical physics. (No need for any quantum physics or relativity) to get through said textbook.

Stress and strain Both involve energy. If the sheet is attracted to the magnet that induces both. Of course that also involves Newtons laws of inertia. You have an equal and opposite force as well to consider. Hookes law would be applicable here the law isn't restricted to springs. As long as the sheet returns to its original shape regardless of how miniscule the change in shape it's considered an elastic condition. For the EM side of it however the EM field has a stress energy momentum tensor that would apply. Particularly as Hookes law is only a first order approximation. Using the tensor will get your second order. For the mechanical side the Cauchy stress tensor would apply. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy_stress_tensor

Nothing the JWST has shown implies that main stream physics has failed. Quite frankly if you study any of its findings through the peer reviewed literature and not pop media coverage. You would understand pop media coverage is literally garbage. Lol pop media stated the same thing with the first Planck results. Thar turned out to be calibration errors for dipole anistropy resulting from the velocity relations to the CMB background. So far, from what I see the only request is to show how one can make testable predictions. That is a very essential aspect of any physics related theory. Without that any theory is literally useless. That is a simple fact. If that cannot be achieved there isn't really any purpose to publishing. Anyone can pay to publish that doesn't mean anything. Even a peer review published article can be incorrect. Peer review simply means the article is on topic with no legal violations and some possibility of viability. That doesn't mean it's correct or would even be used in the Professional circles. I certainly know I couldn't use anything you have thus far for my research and I am a professional Cosmologist. I'm also not the only professional physicist involved in this thread. Just a little side note. No forum ever changes science. The purpose of a forum is to learn the science and in your case the needed steps for proper model building.
