““They concluded the moon's mantle has between 260 and 700 ppm of
water. "This is very surprising, because for 40 years people have
studied lunar rocks and no one found any water," says Saal. "We got
lucky."”
I can accept this mainstream deductive interpretation, because
sufficient geode sequestered remains of moon water shouldn't be all
that unlikely, especially if our Selene/moon had come to us as an icy
proto-moon from the Sirius star/solar system that had lost 4+ solar
mass from its recent red giant phase, or perhaps even from our own icy
Oort cloud (similar to Sedna and our binary Plutos).

In addition to however potentially wet or brine worthy the interior of
our Selene/moon could very well be, it’s also the most likely and the
primary factor of global warming Earth, but only as of the last ice-
age this planet w/moon is ever going to see.
What is the Selene/moon tidal flex heating of Earth? (117.68e3 tw.h)
If the likes of Io and most other moons of Jupiter and Saturn are
mainstream science accepted as getting tidal flex heated in addition
to whatever’s the atomic/thorium core reactions taking place, whereas
then it stands to good enough peer replicated reasoning that our
elliptical orbiting Selene/moon with its ongoing average * 2e20 N/sec
(2.04e19 kgf/sec) * of orbital tidal force is unavoidably receiving
from as well as contributing to the internal and surface heating of
our extremely fluid Earth.
Upon this terrestrial Earth, at the surface we seem have these fully
mainstream accepted sorts of basic force to energy conversions to work
with.
1 kgf.m.s = 9.80665 Joules
1 kgf.m.s = 9.295e-8 therm
1 kgf.m.s = .00980665 kj
1 kgf.m.s = 2.72407e-6 kw.h
1 kgf.m.h = 9.80655e-3 kw.h
Of the 2e20 N divided equally between the Earth and our Selene/moon,
if we took 50% of this hourly tidal force as converted into geothermal
energy of kw.h, we’d get 2.04e19 / 2 * 9.80655e-3 = 11.768e16 kw.h
(117.68e15 kw.h or 117.68e6 tw.h).
How about our taking just a highly conservative 0.1% of that, which
gets us all the way down to the dull tidal flexing roar of just
117.68e3 terawatt hours worth of continuous geothermal heating via
tidal flex. Surely our absolutely impressive Selene/moon with its
fairly robust ratio to Earth is worth at least 0.05% of the 2e20 N/
sec, of which offers * 117.68e3 tw.h * in tidal flex heating (aka
global warming and perhaps loads of geophysical flex morphing) seems
likely, as after all, that’s 230 w/m2 (excluding vertical terrain
factors) but otherwise it’s not very much applied energy per cubic
meter of Earth’s volume (1.084e21 m3 [excluding our wet atmosphere])
is worth merely 108.56e-6 w/m3.
To be including the volume of our wet and otherwise polluted
atmosphere that’s also getting tidal flex heated, we get down to
roughly 100 micro watt/m3. This isn’t to say that humanity hasn’t
gone out of its way in order to having measurably contributed to our
global warming.
I know this seems like a lot of ongoing energy, but then I can't say
with any certainty if it's equally divided between our Selene/moon and
Earth or somehow getting nullified. Perhaps nearly 100% of that tidal
flex is actually going directly into Earth, minus whatever is taken up
by our sun. The older than Earth Selene/moon itself seems rather
thick crusted and by thus kind of tidal morph/flex inert, so that
perhaps not much of this mutual tidal radius force is likely morphing
or flexing all that much of Selene's innards, and especially so
because there's no Selene spin in relationship to Earth for whatever
tidal flex to interact with, though just having a little elliptical
orbit consideration might be enough to keep Selene’s low density
interior from ever turning solid.
If you perceive or explicitly insist that I’ve incorrectly calculated
any this, as having over/under shot the mark, then simply give this
your best swag and offer your improved or more correct rendition of
this unavoidable geothermal heating via tidal flexing.

Perhaps you should look up earth tides. The effect isn't big, but it
exists. This doesn't occur on the moon of course, for the reasons you
correctly stated.

It does happen on the moon also. It isn't exactly the same side of the
moon which is facing Earth because of lunar libration. Of course if you
don't have full rotation but only small librations your tides will be small.
Also the radius of the moon is about 3.7 times smaller than Earths radius
and this leads to yet smaller tides. But Earth's mass being about 81 times
the mass of the moon, this increases the tidal effect on the moon. When
you take all this into account what you get is very small tides on the
moon, but they do exist.

Good point. Is there a perigee/apogee effect as well I wonder? (similar to
the effect on the Jovian moons)
cheers
Bill
Hagar, Hagar, Hagar. There's more to tidal flexology and crust
morphology than oceans. Earth is at least 98.5% fluid to the likes of
tidal flexing everything from our atmosphere to the very core of
Earth. Of what's essentially solid about Earth is kept in motion due
to solar and moon tidal flex.
I agree that Earth's tidal flex on behalf of morphing our Selene/moon
is limited as to the elliptical lunar orbit factor and of the very
gradual interactions with our sun and Earth, and otherwise not of
anything all that significant from Earth's spin.
Obviously the moon itself isn't causing tidal flex upon its interior
due to spin, because it has no spin with relation to Earth, and only a
very slow rate of spin in relation to our sun.
So, perhaps that leaves the vast bulk of the 2e20 N/sec of tidal force
as primarily affecting Earth. The question remains; how much of that
2e20 N/sec becomes tidal flex worthy of terrestrial geothermal or that
of global warming energy?
"It exists" is merely an inconsequential little truth. Perhaps you could
calculate just how much heating it causes. You gave us a figure a while
back about the rate at which the Earth-moon dynamic system loses energy
to heat. It should be pretty straightforward to apply that to a ballpark
estimate of the Earth's specific heat (I'll even grant you the leeway to
apply the heat to the rocky parts of the Earth rather than the oceans)
and derive a rate of heating. How many K per million years does this
work out to?
Once you've done that calculation, you can try it with just the Earth's
oceans as the repository of "all that" energy. That should be pretty
easy too. 3/4 of the Earth's surface is water, the water is a depth, on
average of a few kilometers, and the specific heat of water is 1.
How many K per million years does this work out to?
You'll see why it's important to apply numbers to the claims you make.
just adjectives aren't enough.

That's another good analogy way of putting it, as having "land tides".
Land tides of +/- ?? cm.
They're "very" small. How do they compare to the rock tides on Earth?
Are they "a lot smaller than that"?

The specific heat of seawater, although varying with salinity,
temperature, and pressure, is somewhat lower than that of pure H2O, more
like 0.95 cal/gC° (3.9 J/gK).

Thanks for that perfectly constructive feedback. Unfortunately, our
Hagar isn't willing to accept the regular laws of physics or peer
replicated science that rocks his boat.
Our wet atmosphere of roughly 100 teratonnes worth of h2o is in fact
getting tidal forced along by the gravity influence of our Selene/
moon.
If the interior of our Selene/moon is of low density and perhaps even
partly that of a mineral brine or mud, as such it should be getting a
little tidal flex heated by way of the gravity interactions with our
Sun and the elliptical orbit of Earth.

Gotcha in yet another lie. You believe in anything that's mainstream

Isn't that kinda DARPA bipolar or Zionist/Nazi of yourself.
Yes there is a perigee/apogee effect but that is one of the components of
libration, so it isn't "as well". The moon is a little egg shaped because
of the tidal effect. When it gets closer to Earth it gets more egg shaped
and when it goes further from Earth it gets more spherical.

I just did a BoE calculation and I get that they are just a little
smaller than Earth's rock tides. When I wrote my previous post I
thought they would be more than one magnitude smaller than Earth's
rock tides but this doesn't seem to be the case. I will let others
write out the calculations, I must go out of town and away from an

I don't know how one would measure that. But it can it can be calculated.

Technically speaking, the moon has a "static tide". Although some
might say
that is an oxymoron. However, there is a still a tidal potential that
affects the moon and therefor a tide, static or not.
But indeed, since the tide is static there is no flexing, hence
no heating
Stuart
? "no heating" via tidal flex ?
In other damage-control words of your silly mindset, the laws of
physics simply do not apply off world, or even as to that of our
Selene/moon global warming Earth via tidal flex forces that can't
possibly avoid becoming thermal energy. Are you certain about that?
Do you have a supercomputer simulation that somehow excludes the laws
of physics for Earth and our Selene/moon, but otherwise allows the
laws of tidal flex physics to apply on behalf of other plants and of
their tidal flex heated moons?
Isn't Earth a relatively small and extensively fluid planet for having
such a substantial moon that can measurably tidal flex the crust of
Earth by as much as 55 cm?
Thanks to “oldcoot” and Wikipedia: Earth tide effects
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_tide
“Volcanologists use the regular, predictable Earth tide movements to
calibrate and test sensitive volcano deformation monitoring
instruments. The tides may also trigger volcanic events. Seismologist
have determined that micro seismic events are correlated to tidal
variations in Central Asia (north of the Himalayas). The semidiurnal
amplitude of terrestrial tides can reach about 55 cm at the equator
which is important in GPS calibration and VLBI measurements. Also to
make precise astronomical angular measurements requires knowledge of
the earth's rate of rotation and nutation, both of which are
influenced by earth tides.”
Any way you’d care to slice and dice it, it seems continually moving
and/or distorting the crust of Earth by 55 cm via tidal flexing is
going to create a little unavoidable geothermal heat via friction.
The lunar body tide amplitude due to the earth is around 10cm or so.
And while the earth induced
lunar body tide doesn't have much of a time-dependent effect due to
orbital locking, the moon like the earth
will have a solar tide with a period near the moon's orbital period or
around 28 days. I suspect the solar tide
is around 2-3cm. The moon's tides are smaller because it is much more
rigid; the k Love number is only
around .022 or so, where the Earth's is 10x greater if not more.
Stuart
I've snipped stuff that doesn't make sense leaving one reasonable
question.

Indeed. I didn't say the moon isn't distorted by tides. It is.
By while the earth is rotating, the moon always shows the same face to
the
Earth; hence dissipation due to the lunar tide raised by the Earth
should be very small.
The lunar tide due to the Sun would probably cause more dissipation,
but
it will still be small.
Stuart
I suppose "lunar body tide"...
is redundant.
Stuart
The tidal forced heating that I'm talking about is primarily that of
Earth being heated by that of our unusually large, nearby and fast
moving Selene/moon, and it's by no means as insignificant as you'd
care to suggest.
btw, what else other than tidal flex derived energy has been heating
Io to such an extent?
Sorry.. the discussion above was about the moon. And thats what I

Perhaps a "slide rule" with a few spare CPUs attached and a healthy
dose of complex physics software might do the trick. Are you going to
show us how simple that is?
Fine and dandy. By how many terawatts per each and every hour is our
Selene/moon tidal flex heated by way of the solar gravity plus mainly
that of Earth's elliptical distance from the moon (similar to Io that
also has no spin and far less elliptical orbit)?
If we had that platform of science instruments situated within the
Selene/moon L1, as such we'd likely know this one down to the +/-
megawatt, if not better.
Our uneducated Brad wouldn't recognize good science if it bit you on the

Our intelligent Timberwoof stated that the insignificant tidal heating
of the earth is insignificant. The small size of our small earth and its
small effect on the moon make any tidal heating of our small moon small,
probably insignificant.

Are you suggesting that our Selene/moon L1 is a total waste of space,
that which our science should continually ignore for their own good?
Are you suggesting that our Selene/moon and Earth somehow manage to
interactively exchange/cause nothing worth of tidal flex heating?
If so, do tell what's keeping the likes of Io and any number of other
moons so freaking active instead of being of solid dry-ice or that of
just about any kind of ice except water ice?
How about Titan, with its robust atmosphere: What's keeping Titan
from freezing itself solid by night, if not via tidal flex heating?
Are Saturn and Jupiter all that IR worthy?
Are you suggesting that such active moons have a core of thorium?
Is your "large Jupiter" a new kind of scientific statement as to the
specific size of the solid portion of Jupiter that's relatively
uniform?
Exactly how large is the solid portion or gravity made as a dense/
solid surface of Jupiter, and how nonuniform is its gravity or that of
its surface of mascons??
Are you saying that a "large Jupiter" of being such a gas giant planet
has unusually uneven gravity that's capable of tidal flexing its near
circular orbiting moons to death?
Are you saying that the very same kind of orbital mechanics and
physics doesn't apply to our Selene/moon or to that of Earth getting
tidal flex heated?

And vise versa, like I'd specifically asked about how much our moon
tidal flexes Earth as becoming unavoidably hotter because of our 98.5%
fluid world having that Selene/moon to continually deal with, as well
as in its highly elliptical orbit adding additional factors of tidal
flex that by rights should go either way.

Yes. How much heat does it produce? What's the rate, in watts, of heat
production? Compare that to the rate, in watts, of heat production by
radioactive potassium, and to the rate, in watts, of the the earth's
heat loss to space.

You're the one claiming that the heating is significant. You can do the
calculations, or look them up, and say how much heat is being generated
by that process.

Perhaps those ”fold mountains” are the exact same as what created
those pesky Antarctic mountains that haven’t measurably eroded, and
otherwise responsible for the total lack of Arctic mountains. Perhaps
the Arctic ocean basin is the antifold or navel innie fold of mother
Earth (aka passage to the center of Earth).
Seems without a rather sizable impact for having created much of what
the Arctic ocean basin represents, having set much of our seasonal
tilt and having slightly modified Earth’s spin, that much of this
planet would be a whole lot smoother and loads cooler.
Are you suggesting the surface of Jupiter is only that of a highly

A substantial core of thorium would tend to represent a rather
impressive natural source or cache of radioactive produced thermal
energy, of which has to eventually migrate to the nearly 15 km average
terrestrial crust, and then ever so slightly filter its way through
this crust before radiating through our wet atmosphere and off into
space.
At the R-factor of a little better than 1/m3, suggesting an average
crust insulation that's worthy of perhaps R-2048000, thereby
representing a thermal conductivity coefficient of .0000004882,
however the substantially thinner crust under our oceans might tend to
bring the global average of crust insulation down to R-1024000, or
thermal conductivity coefficient of .0000009765.
Either way that's suggesting upon Earth having either a thorium core,
and/or added thermal energy of tidal flux working along with our
radioactive core.

I haven't found research that's in sufficient agreement with any other
soul on Earth. It's as though there's a lot of mainstream
puppeteering and swag going on in order to continually avoid or simply
exclude whatever our Selene/moon might have to contribute towards
global warming. However, I've conservatively done just that, by
having interpreted a mere 0.05% of the 2e20 N/sec of the available
tidal force converted into thermal dynamic energy (100 microwatt/m3).
Wouldn't you tend to favor that it's actually of a greater percentage?

Then you'd knowingly support anything mainstream Zionist/Nazi and of
their New World Order that's essentially in charge of most everything
that matters, even if it were based upon yet another lie or total
fabrication or distortion of the actual facts that would be telling us
otherwise. Does this mean evidence exclusion and conditional physics
follows suit in all areas of your supposed expertise?

Jupiter is mostly gas; it's not clear whether it has a solid or liquid
core. Jupiter is mostly gas and liquid; it is not expected to have any
mass concentrations the way our lumpy moon does.

Their gravitational interactions with each other as they orbit.
I think you overrate the moon's mascons. They were noticed by the
Apollo astronauts because of slight changes to their orbit from what was
expected. From father away, the mascons would not be sensed as easily.
Certainly the Earth's distance from the moon, they're not measurable.

It's good for your that you couched that rhetoric in the form of a
question. That way you can wiggle out and say you were only asking. But
you should really not jump to such conclusions. I know it's a deeply
ingrained habit with you, but you should get over it. It leads you to a
lot of crazy places.

You left out a necessary adjective: Surely you mean "off into empty
space".
The Earth is a big place, with lots of radioactive material, and a whole
lot of time for it to conduct its heat outwards.

Where did you get 2e20 N/sec? That number is not a measure of power.
Newtons are a unit of force, like pounds. N/sec is a mysterious unit of
measure; I'm not sure what it means. So that number is useless as a way
to calculate what you want.
Where did you get .05%? Where does the rest go?
And what's the rate of heating from radioactive materials in the Earth?
Until you come up with that, you have no basis for comparison with
anything.

Or the way Earth's crust is so misshapen and thus mascon uneven, thus
more capable of tidal flex heating of our Selene/moon.

I never stated that from Earth they were affecting us. Obviously I'm
not the only one jumping to those pesky conclusions. However, Earth's
mascons are likely adding tidal flex heating to our Selene/moon as
well as its elliptical path migrates around Earth and our sun should
cause a measurable degree of geothermal heating within our Selene/
moon.

You mean like other intelligent life existing/coexisting on Venus, or
that of our intelligent species originating from the Sirius B solar
system, or that of my LSE-CM/ISS utilizing our Selene/moon L1, or how
about the crazy but cool POOF city at Venus L2, and don't forget the

Space isn't empty, because it's absolutely chuck full of photons, dark
matter and dark energy. Even our Selene/moon L1 of 1e-21 bar vacuum
isn't the least bit empty.

I agree, that Earth's core of thorium and subsequent radioactive
byproducts is good to go for billions of years.

How good is the average thermal insulation worth of Earth's crust?
Supposedly the thinnest crust is found under our oceans, at an average
of perhaps 5 km thickness. Earth is after all at least 98.5% fluid.

No "good grief" about it. I noticed that you haven't posted links of
different research groups that concur as to having the same outcome.
The tidal flex heating of Earth via our Selene/moon is measurably
significant.

The centripetal force that counteracted upon by the mutual gravity of
attraction is what gives us that number of 2e20 N. If converting any
of that continual tidal force into energy, it has to be taken as N/
sec.

You got me on that one, as I can't figure our where all of that 2e20 N/
sec of force is going, unless it's transferring back and forth as
tidal flex heating, possibly as heating some portion of our 100% fluid
and otherwise gaseous sun.

That's true, but thus far there's no finite (all-inclusive) agreed

core, much less the low density core of our highly unusual moon.

So, you think there's no one swarm of any faith-based/political cult
or group in charge of anything that goes badly or for the better here
on Earth? (it's all purely random happenstance that's always perfectly
fair and square with the rest of us village idiots?)
You're saying that job security, public funded benefits, vast
corporate and political profits and bragging rights that'll suit their
given faith-based mindset never account for squat. Now that's
interesting as hell.
Where's that mountain top erosion that's supposedly millions upon
millions if not a good billion+ years old?
Doesn't ice, snow and jet stream wind erode rock?
What broke up Earth's crust to begin with?
Dose our moon have any indications of a broken crust, or that of
Mercury, Venus or Mars?
When exactly was our seasonal tilt established?
Why no mountains at the north pole? (instead a moon encounter sized
basin)
No, it's what you do the most. If the quality of your work is to be
judged by how well the conclusions match reality, you suck at it.

Maybe rather than just saying that, you could show a map of

You certainly don't agree with the composition of the Earth's core.
Thorium indeed.

It's boring as a ... very boring thing.
That's rather easily accomplished from the Selene/moon L1, and only
easier yet from deep within our Selene/moon.

So, you're another stay-at-home kind of guy, deathly afraid of
whatever's dark and scary, but then you'll gladly accept and/or do
whatever your faith-based government is telling you to do or to accept
as their one and only word of God.
Perhaps you and countless millions of others thought wrong, unless
iron is long-term radioactive. Is highly compressed iron heavier than
highly compressed thorium? (I don't think so)
I already did just that, and having accomplished such entirely within
my budget of zilch.

It is whenever converting any portion of N into energy. N as applied
for what amount of time = energy
Are we talking about our Selene/moon representing 2e20 N/year, N/
month, N/day or N/second that's responsible for holding onto our moon?
(I think it's taken as a force of N/sec, especially if it were being
converted into raw energy)

Why not thorium? Do you have something other that's heavier and long-
term radioactive to suggest?
Notice that I never excluded iron, or having excluded any number of
raw elements. Of how much of Earth's core is thorium is anyones best
swag. Perhaps within a million years we'll have enough technology for
extracting a direct sample of Earth's core, as our objective proof
positive about what it's made of, and by then we should also be
walking safely within our moon, but according to your mindset we'll
still be entirely ET racist against those of any other intelligent
life existing/coexisting on Venus.

Your perpetual nayism on most every conceivable topic that doesn't
100% coincide with your mainstream status quo mindset, seems that's
about as DARPA or bust as it can get, is noted.
Your excluding evidence and denying them pesky laws of physics that so
happens to rock your boat is also noted. I bet you never once
considered as to why your eye-candy and media packaged science on
behalf of entertaining such an infomercial impressed nose was so
brown. Perhaps now you know.
Oh, so it's not measurable after all. And you don't even have any idea
about what that heat input should be.

More foolish conclusions.
All you have to do is show your sources for this information. But
instead, you just yell at me and say I'm wrong.
No, you didn't. And now you're whining that you have no scientific
budget ... which means you have no source for real measurements, which
means you have nothing.

Once again you jump to idiotic conclusions. I'm not telling you that.
But you're being silly. The amount of heat generated from that source is
insignificant to the point of silliness compared to the heat generated
from fusion. But then, the concept of using mathematics to quantify
things has always been beyond you.

You also didn't even try to support or much less polish my claim, of
which at least my analogy agrees with the regular laws of physics and

DARPA doesn't grant any premise that doesn't suit their Zionist/Nazi
mindset. So, what if anything makes your naysay mindset any
different?
Your Zionist/Nazi DARPA of nayism doesn’t get any better than that,

Now that I'll agree with. There's no reason, even with your goofy idea
that the moon just got here 12,500 years ago, to think that the moon
caused the global warming effects we've been seeing for the past, oh,
twenty years.

Official naysayer of the DARPA kind, who knows only of whatąs accepted by
the Old Testament of the Zionist/Nazi New World Order
which refuses to accept or allow deductive reasoning.
As one star's gravity influence might sufficiently interact along with
or impose upon another stellar source of gravity, whereas this might
be called the mutual or combined gravitational field radius (aka tidal
radius), outside of which such items would not become attracted to or
having their trajectory the least bit modified by one another, and as
such forever go their independent ways without any chance of seeing
any future return encounter.

Wow! how off-topic or out of context can you get in one pass?
btw, try at least 13,000 years worth of consistent global warming ever
since the very last ice-age Earth w/moon is ever going to see, that is
unless you think Earth is still sufficiently locked within its last
ice-age. Actually, the worse part of the very last ice-age was
supposedly 23,000~25,000 years ago. Do you honestly think our sun was
made that much dimmer as of 25,000+ years ago?

So, you think our mutually perpetrated cold-war DARPA has been stealth
managed by way of heathen Atheists, Muslims, or even by Catholics?
Obviously, you think there's not a faith-based soul in charge of
anything, or having been responsible for any good, bad or simply wrong
doings. What are the odds?

So, this definition is wrong?
Tidal Radius is :
"The distance from the centre of a planet to the point at which its
gravitational pull equals that of the Sun"
I'll buy that one as will, but you're leaving out the orbital velocity
factor of that planet.
Cut that orbital velocity down to 1%, and how much greater is the
tidal radius?
Now give that slower moving planet a substantial elliptical orbit to
start off with (aka Pluto or perhaps Sedna), and now reconsider the
new and improved tidal radius.
btw, unlike yourself, I didn't cut and paste my definition of tidal
radius.

That definition makes no sense. All massive things attract all massive
things gravitationally with a strength described by Newton's Law.
There's no distance limitation. Whether two things will forever move
away from one another depends on their masses, distance, and relative
velocity.
How about you give us a mathematical definition?

That definition doesn't actually mean anything. That point is easy to
calculate for the Earth-Moon system, but it's not anywhere near one of
the Lagrange points: the Moon's orbit around the earth combined with its
gravity changes everything.
And by that definition the Earth and the Moon are outside each other's
"tidal radius", yet the Earth experiences tides from the Moon's orbit.
It gets even worse when you calculate the "tidal radius" that way for
the Earth and sun. That point is very close to the sun, yet the Earth
experiences tides due to its rotation near the sun.

Coating a definition in verbose bullshit, only indicates a tendency to use
verbose bullshit.
At least I'm being honest. How about yourself?
Isn't gravity a thing of going and going, as in forever and ever?
Are you saying that a 7+ solar mass of the original Sirius star/solar
system wasn't attracting in a tidal radius kind of way?
The current tidal radius of this universe is roughly 50 billion light
years, and that's supposedly expanding ever faster as time allows.
Obviously the furthest kinds of stuff that's somewhat rogue due to its
escaping velocity at the far edge or event horizon of our BB universe,
is clearly outside of the core tidal radius that's keeping most of our
universe glued together.
Of what if anything is going to hang tight into a tidal radius or
tidal elliptic is at best complex, at worse next to impossible but
entirely doable because such long orbital treks of stellar, proto-
planets and proto-moons do exist.
Why are you trying so hard at hiding and/or avoiding the best
available truth(s)?
We'll need that public owned supercomputer with loads of the best
available stellar data, in order to work within the existing physics
formulated simulation software.

That's the circumglobal mountain belt (of which the Himalayas are a

an eroded (ero-*ding*) (a-ling) *plateau*. No foldie mountie.

Yes indeed. Gravitational collapse is the name of the game, weather
reduces it to rubble faster than Jack Robinson. It's a wonder that
any mountains are left at all - Which is the big question where
geology always begins - "How come there are mountains? " Because the
crust keeps getting crumpled and thrown upwards? Where? Certainly
not in the himalayas.
>
> What broke up Earth's crust to begin with?
The mantle breaking through. A lot of volcanoes do this, but they
don';t really class as mountains when it comes to mountain building
('orogensis') Oro-genesis is really just another word for erosion, if
the truth be told. It's erosion that makes mountains. Right back in
the Archaean a lot of the lavas were probably fissure eruptions.
Tectonically that's a puzzling time. Indications are that things were
quite a lot different from the way things are today.

Don't know about MVM, but the Moon has the big Mares extruded,
probably due to (Kaboom) big meteorite hits. The Earth back then was
probably copping the same. So yes, ...the Archaean geology has a lot
that's suggestive of big meteorite impacts (The Banded Iron
Formations, . right through the mantle to the core - iron plasma dust
clouds) . extrusive high magnesium basalts and ultramafic lavas, shock
textured spinifex rocks.

The best way to answer that one is why are all the mountains around
the (old) equator? ..coupled with the other question, what is a
mountain belt.... The way I see it, Mountains are not mountains at
all, but just the fossilised (Pangaean) more oblate equatorial zone,
so your question (rephrased) actually is "Why is the north Pole not
the equator? or better, why is *a* pole not *an* equator. This is a
conundrum that would tax even a dosser in trolleys. I don't think any
of them would have read a book that comes anywhere near close to
answering that one.
So what about the mountains at the south pole? Well, apart from Mt
Erebus which is a volcano they're just names to describe what are
hardly more than raised beaches, ..( Like the Himalayas is a raised
beach? No. The old Pangaean equatorial zone has been prised open
wider than a pornstar - almost to the point of getting wrapped around
its own neck (Plate Tectonics eat your heart out!) Besides much of
the Antarctic is below sea level. Only the ice is high.
That initial big south pole crater of our Luna fits rather nicely if
our icy Selene/moon had ever encountered an icy Earth sized rock, or
possibly of something as little as an icy Mars sized rock, and/or
conceivably doing both.
Actually, as of prior to 13,000 BP, Earth was likely 99% fluid (I also
have to include our thick ice-age of frozen water as sufficiently
tidal flex worthy and thus fluid), and possibly even that arrival of
our extremely thick ice covered Selene/moon had been a touch more
fluid at its core than it is today. An ice covered Selene/moon is
actually a better thermally insulated core, rather than being naked as
it is once having encountered Earth.

But apparently there's no specific date to any given year. Figures,
doesn't it.
You do realize that of us mostly naked and obviously uneducated
heathens, plus most other life upon this planet, essentially didn't
have to seasonally migrate prior to 13,000 BP. At least there are no
apparent biological remains or any form of intelligent formulated
records telling us otherwise.

I agree that plate tectonics can't account for all of Earth's
mountains, much less of being limited as to those foldie mountains.
So, you don't believe in the physics or geophysical morph of any
impact and subsequent antipode process of ever having created their
fair share of mountains or much less having broken up the crust of
Earth, or having given us a whole lot more of a seasonal tilt to work
with, but instead just favoring the gradual erosion process that can't
explain as to why in places there's so little mountain eroding taking
place as of relatively lately (say for the past few hundred million
years), and also can't explain away the absolutely horrific scope of
our Selene/moon south pole crater, and then obviously you also can
seem to explain away our global warming trend that has been ongoing
ever since the very last ice-age this planet w/moon is ever going to
see.
You do realize that I'm not another one of those all-or-nothing kind
of guys, don't you?
I never once said or having implied that each and every mountain on
Earth was via the impact/antipode process, but that's clearly the way
your all-or-nothing mindset has been thinking.
Why haven't you stopped beating your wife?
So tell me: What's "tidal radius"?

You have no clue about how to do orbital-dynamics calculations, and you

Just give your definition of "tidal radius" without bullshit.

You could present the equations from Newton which describe how this

Maybe you could define what "tidal radius" means. Maybe you could get
the equations for calculating tidal forces, and apply them to the sun
for the ten nearest stars. (Their distances and masses are fairly well
known, for they've been calculated by the astronomical establishment.)
Then instead of bleating about this, you'd have the numbers for how much
tidal force these stars really exert on the sun.

Supposedly you're so much smarter than all of us village idiots
combined. Go fish, and show us your all-inclusive catch of the
supercomputer simulated day that somehow excludes tidal radius and
thus eliminates any measurable degree of tidal flexing.
This should be good.
It has something to do with gravity, mass and velocity as interacting
with other gravity, mass and velocity, each coexisting within a fully
interactive 3D environment. How's that?

There are lots of things I should do, but perhaps then we wouldn't

All of that data and of those fully interactive 3D simulations of
orbital mechanics are bought and paid for as is, and often as having
been paid for multiple times by way of our hard earned public loot.

Half of 100 billion years (the supposed outermost light year diameter
of our universe) is roughly 50 billion years. I seldom make mistakes

Just another way of suggesting whatever is sticking within our
universe is likely interrelated to the central group density that one
might as well consider as core worthy. Say of whatever fits within
the first 0.1%r could easily be considered as representing the most
combined stellar mass and black hole populated core, as our most
worthy central realm of our otherwise vast universe that's supposedly
still expanding itself away from the most recent BB.

A BG modified version of the traditional circular version of a fixed
velocity tidal radius, because the velocity of the elliptic tends to
vary so greatly.

The proto-planetoid or potential proto-moon Sedna is within a tidal
elliptic trek.
Sol is within a tidal elliptic radius, as a 110,000 year elliptical
trek that's currently headed us back towards the Sirius star/solar
system.
How close will our solar system eventually get to the Sirius star/
solar system ????
My wife is recovering just fine and dandy, just like all the times

If you don't know Newton's equations and how to apply them, then you're

You've still not come up with a meaningful definition of tidal radius. I
think you don't know. I think it's some cool-sounding term you came up
with or read somewhere, which has no specific meaning for you that can
be pinned down, which since it doesn't actually mean anything, you can
just stick it into a sentence about stars and planets and whatnot and
hope someone will think you know what you're talking about.

you have elliptic radius. Well, you have all three combinations of the

You tell me. you're the one claiming that Sirius and the Sun are in
orbit about one another. Surely you have the data to back up that claim
and the calculations to give more insight. But since you don't, and it's
all made-up bullshit, I'll tell you: not very close.
See, you said "eventually" which could be next week or next year. You
have no clue about the relative speeds of the stars involved or the time
scales that those speeds imply.

You haven't even defined what tidal radius means, and the one definition
I've seen gives a meaningless result.

Most of whatever I'd claim to know (as you'd insist), would be from
looking it up in some book or via the internet. I do not know such
equations from heart, although I could pretend that I do, and then I'd
be just like most everyone else (including yourself), a born-again

It means whatever you'd care to cut and paste, so that it'll make you
look extra smart and myself look exactly like the village idiot. I
guess the same question goes for "tidal flex", because you obviously
do not agree one iota with anything I've tried to convey about our
global warming that's getting some of its energy via the lunar tidal
flexing of our 98.5% fluid Earth.
It seems as though you want to exclude the use of anything involving
the word tidal.
Is the traditional meaning of "tidal" having something to do with the
oceans coming and going or of the rise and fall of our oceans?

There's a nifty internet feature that even works within newsgroups,

You used the words "not very close". To me that "not very" could

Well, aren't we having another bad newsgroup day, or what. You want
exact placements, as well as an exact day, hour and second, as well as
exact matter of fact upon everything else (especially of using just
the right words), or you want nothing at all.
Here I'd thought you were the extra smart one. Sorry, my mistake.
Next time I offer this topic I'll have to do it in LeapFrog pop-up
format.

You've been going on about the tidal radiuses of stars and planets for
quite some time now without ever having a solid definition of the term.
Boy, that's encouraging. And now you tell me not to expect a definition
any time soon. It begs the question of whether you know what you're
talking about.

Perhaps you could look up the relative motions of all the nearby stars
and then try to see who's orbiting whom. Without that, your idea is
horsefeathers.

That has pretty much nothing to do with whether the sun is in orbit
around Sirius.

No, because I have no idea what you're talking about when you write
"tidal radius". It's your term; I want you to define it. If you can't
explain it, then you probably don't understand it. I sure as hell don't
know what you're talking about; why do you want me to define it for you?

I don't care if you have to look them up. Life is an open-book test. But
you have to know that they exist and how to use them and how they work.
FWIW, the general equation for gravitational attraction is
f = G M1 M2 / r^2
where f is the force of attraction between the two masses M1 and M2 and
r is the distance between them. G is a constant that makes the answer
come out right; its value depends on what units you're using for f, M1,
M2, and r. What this means is that when something gets twice as far
away, the attraction is a quarter of what it was before. Ten times as
far, it's a hundred times weaker. So it is sort of a forever and forever
thing, but it diminishes quite rapidly with distance.

I couldn't care less if you came up with some eye-candy animation that
shows whatever you want it to show. Since you clearly don't understand
the math behind what's gong on, any animation you come up with is
meaningless. So your access to supercomputers really doesn't matter.

You're making yourself look like the village idiot by not defining a

No, I just want you to define your terms and come up with real numbers

No. You should do your own homework. It's a waste of time. A lot of
people much more clever than either of us have been looking at the
relative movements of all the nearby stars to see where they are going.
If there had been any hint that the sun was orbiting Sirius, we'd know
about it. (The same goes for all your other wacky ideas.)

Not at all. I think the Earth was clobbered bigTime . But it's not
the process known as orogenesis, which is said to be the crumpling of
the crust to throw up mountains - the making of foldies. Certainly big
impacts could break the crust. I don't have the numbers, but I feel
it in my water. If a meteorite less than a kilometer big can knock a
hole in the Earth from here to about 70km to the east, the
Astronomical Observatory said here of a near miss recently, then by my
reckoning that's good for a crack in the crust anywhere in the world.
Where it might go to after that is anybody's guess. Or if the
impactor was tens of kilometres, ..then what? (And from what
direction?)
All I'm saying is that the process of making mountains (orogenesis) is
nothing to do with crumpling of the crust, ..but to do with erosion.of
'uplited' areas - 'uplift' being essentially a shorthand way of
talking about differences in curvature of the planet surface. A round
surface is flat if it's all even, but a locally more curved bit in a
changed gravity field is not.

Flat is flat. No erosion. Maybe a bit of wind drilling a hole here
and there, but to get serious erosion you need the water level
falling. Without that, erosion can stop indefinitely. "Surface of
zero erosion potential. It can be the top of Mount Everest - till the
water level falls.

Well, there are different kinds of mountains . Volcanoes for a
start. And finish. Other than that I can only think of the foldie
ones, which are erosional. Sure you get folds due to gravitational
adjustment - just like erosion and avalanches are 'gravitational
adjustment' - but that's an entirely different thing from what Plate
Tectonicists (in their ignorance) are trying to get you to believe.
Those kinds of avalanches and the sort that crumple the crust when it
falls 'gravitationally', are much the same, in a sense.
Go right ahead and use the internet or published versions of "tidal
radius" and "tidal flex", as for the moment I'll accept those versions
because I have no intentions of modifying their interpretations as
based upon the regular laws of physics.
As to the "tidal elliptic" or tidal elliptic radius", that's going to
have to be an entirely new one that apparently only a dyslexic
village idiot like myself can manage to create, because there are
variables of at least a trinary consideration taking place. In the
case of Sedna, there’s likely a minimum of 5 interactive gravity
factors and the 3D interactive motions of each of those to deal with.
With deductive reasoning, I’d think of using at least 4 gravity and
orbital factors that initiated our tidal elliptic radius with the
Sirius star/solar system, that which had us in a relatively short
elliptic period towards the beginning, of perhaps as little as 25,000
years.
A supercomputer simulator of such complex orbital dynamics capability
is no longer a problem, as well as the nearby stellar motions are not
unknown to us. Putting all of this into a few simulations, allowing
for certain give and take variables, and lo and behold we should have
that 3D interactive look-see at the simulation results as going back
or forward in time.
If my deductive SWAG is half right, our solar system trek will get us
at least to within .86 light year of the Sirius star/solar system.
However, I see no good reason why we wouldn’t have gotten to within
0.086 ly, or 100 fold closer than we are right now. Of going way
further back in time, this elliptic tidal radius might have placed our
wussy little solar system to within as tight as getting us a thousand
fold closer (0.0086 ly), and possibly even as to having orbited the 7+
combined solar mass of Sirius in a way that might have had our Sol as
representing Sirius C or D.
If you can help get this one into any of our public supercomputers
would be a good thing for both of us, plus credits for anyone else
that can mage to contribute.
Many others have already established those "horsefeathers" on our
behalf. The problem is that whenever such horsefeathers involve
Sirius it seems their lights go out, and we're left in the dark.
Wonder why that is?

its CPUs fairly hard in order to fully simulate this elliptic tidal
radius.

Without knowing what "tidal radius" means, that's a meaningless claim.
Even with the definition someone proposed, it makes no sense.

Since the key phrase is not defined, you have, as usual, posted
content-free words.
So, you clearly do not accept the popular and otherwise peer
replicated and thus widely accepted definitions of “tidal radius” as
it relates to orbital physics (circular or elliptical), and therefore
my “elliptic tidal radius” which involves three or more considerations
of gravity, all of which existing in some kind of 3D motion, is
entirely out of the question.
Your profound naysay and lack of basic/fundamental deductive logic is
accepted for what it is, dumbfounded.
I wonder if you can suggest why Sedna keeps coming back around within
its elliptic tidal radius, not to mention countless binary plus other
more complex interactions of the stellar kind that make up the
majority of the 500 billion stars within our Milky Way galaxy.
Other than dark matter and dark energy that’s still in flux and thus
undefined, is there some other weird unexplained conditional physics
law of random happenstance that only you and others of your silly kind
know of?
Perhaps the antimatter core of black holes is what's responsible for
whatever can not be otherwise explained. How do you say (yea/nay)?
BTW, when items of any given mass are not moving about in
relationship to one another, in which case their individual or mutual
tidal radius is essentially infinite.

That's an irrational an unjustified interpretation of what I wrote. I've
asked you a lot of times to define "tidal radius" and all you've come up
with is self-contradictory arblegarble that doesn't agree with your own
varied uses of the phrase.

I don't think "dumbfounded" means what you think it means.

Now there's an elliptic tidal radius, which you have also not defined,
and apparently the possibility that something might leave its tidal
radius. (In the context of your sentence, "tidal radius" is
indistinguishable from "orbit". Until you provide a more complete
definition, I will assume that "tidal radius" means "orbit".)

Sedna's orbit around the sun is about half a million AUs.
An AU is 15.813*10^6 LY. Distances to planets are measured in AUs;
distances to stars are measured in about the same magnitudes of LYs.
IOW, stars tens of millions of times farther away than our planets. It's
not in the least surprising that as stars orbit the center of the
galaxy, planets orbit their stars pretty much unaffected by what's going
on around them.
You don't need a supercomputer to do the following calculations, just a
spreadsheet: List the hundred or so nearest stars, their masses, and
their distances. Also list all the planets of our solar system, their
masses, and their average distance from the sun. Now pick any planet,
even Sedna, and, for all the other things in that list, calculate, using
Newton's Law, the force that each object exerts on Sedna. See for
yourself what the biggest influences on the planets of this solar system
are.

I say you're being goofy. You're making up a straw-man argument that I
didn't even make, and then pretending that I'm making up goofy shit to
defend it. At least be honest and realize that you're making up goofy
shit to defend your own goofy hypotheses.

Well, there goes my assumption that "tidal radius" means "orbit", but I
still don't know what it means. I've seen the phrase used in a few
articles about globular clusters:
http://books.google.com/books?id=eez38xjCYGkC&pg=PA479&lpg=PA479&dq=tidal
+radius&source=web&ots=OGznbAF0Ef&sig=Vqukn8kUVmdtx3V9JcYl4KiCqZg&hl=en&s
a=X&oi=book_result&resnum=9&ct=result
tidal radius: the radius within which all the luminous matter of a
cluster of a galaxy is contained. The tidal radius can be measured for
globular clusters and for galaxies belonging to clusters, which are
found to have well-defined outer limits (in contrast with brightness
profiles of isolated elliptical galaxies Š). The name arises from the
understanding that in the case of a cluster galaxy, repeated encounters
with nearby galaxies can lead to tidal stripping of the outer stars,
which are loosely gravitationally bond, and to the evaporation of the
outer envelope, leaving only stars which are inside the tidal radius.
Well, that cannot be what you mean by tidal radius.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archives/Science/20
08_July_4
has an article in which the definition of the word is debated. And none
of the definitions presented here match anything you've ever written
about it.
I bet you're incapable of coming up with a definition of "tidal radius"
that
* matches any definition anyone else has come up with
* matches everything you've ever claimed for the concept

That's true, because you're clearly more of a DARPA rusemaster, rather
than merely dumbfounded.

Then call it a tidal orbit for all I care, or call it something
entirely different, because it's still happening. How about using
"yoyo orbit" or "yoyo tidal radius". How about the TEC "Temberwoof
Elliptic Coefficient"?

You have to also include their angular velocity of each item, and
perhaps update such at least year by year. A few thousand spreadsheet
lines, hundreds of columns and years later should start to do the
trick.

I'm just keeping this topic interesting, the best I know how. You on
the other hand are suggesting that a few dozen spreadsheet lines with
only a few columns worth will more than do the trick within a few
hours work. Sorry, but I don't think so.

You are continually making too much of everything, trying hardest to
find fault with wordage or phrase usage, rather than to contribute on
any meaningful level of a positive/constructive manner. Let us go
along with whatever you'd like to call the frame or realm or that of
whatever weird of conditional physics keeps an elliptic of whatever
coming back towards the same star.

Now I know that "dumbfounded" doesn't mean what you think it means.

How about you describe whatever the hell it is you're talking about?
It's just a made-up phrase with no meaning, as far as I'm concerned.

Eh, You only need a hundred lines and maybe a dozen or two columns. The
problem is not as complex as you make it out to be. This means you could
actually do it, instead of whining about how hard it is and then making
up your on fantasy-world stuff.

So in other words you're trolling.

Well, the trick it will do is show that the stars don't affect the
planets' orbits to any significant amount; that they can be safely
ignored when doing any calculations of orbits. And that, of course,
would blow right out of the water any goofy ideas you're trying to
hatch.

That may make sense if you provided your definition of "tidal radius",
but since you have none, you're basically to say anything you want to
about it, so you can pretend to answer any question anyone asks.

No, I'm just trying to get you to explicitly define your terms. If you
can't do that, it's clear that you don't know what you're talking about.

You mean a Keplerian orbit in a Newtonian gravitational field? There's
no concept of "tidal radius" in that.
I've been there and having done just that, several times as far as I
can tell.
Replying to morons and perpetual naysayers like yourself = trolling,
sounds about right.

But those pesky 100,000+ year elliptical orbits do exist, along with
galactic tidal encounters based upon millions of years. Imagine that.

It's my topic that I can pretty much do as a please with. If need be,
think of me as GW Bush.

Half the time Einstein didn't know what the hell he was talking
about. So what's the difference?

Perhaps there should be a little something of the tidal elliptic
radius. After all, elliptical orbits do have a radius that's
continually changing, somewhat like an ocean tide.
Otherwise, your total lack of any positive/constructive efforts
towards the intent of this topic is noted.

Say, what? At first I thought you might have just switched the units --
but even when inverted the figure is wrong by orders of magnitude.

Whoops. Brain fart. I guess I should redo my math and show it.
AU = 149.60 x 10^9 m
ly = 9.461 x 1^15 m
ly = 63.24 x 10^3 AU
There we go. An LY is ~ 10^5 AU. And since gravitational force decreases
with the square of the distance, Brad's favorite star Sirius, which is
about half a million light years away, has about 1 x 10^-11[1] the
gravitational influence on the Earth that the sun has. In other words,
unmeasurable.
Sorry about the error; thanks for spotting it and giving me the chance
to correct it. Brad, shut up. I never claimed to be infallible, and I've
given you dozens and dozens of chances to correct your errors.
[1] The mass of Sirius is 3 solar masses; it's 8.6 LY away, which equals
5.44 x 10^5 au. One over the square of the distance, times the mass of
Sirius, is 1.0 x 10^-11.

I'm still waiting to see the formal definition of "tidal radius."
I found one, but it has nothing to do with what Blad's been brathering
about. It has to do with galaxies and globular clusters: the region
within which there are stars, and outside of which there aren't any. But
that definition is meaningless for what Brad is talking about.

Better yet is the tidal elliptic radius, as an extended orbital radius
variable in 3D interactive space, whereas everything is continually in
3D motion. To say the least, this is highly complex.
In 2D space, a basic tidal radius of a purely circular orbit is the
same as specified by the usual internet posted definitions.
If both items are of the exact same mass and always of equal velocity
throughout each of their nearly circular treks, and with having no
other gravitational influences would obviously make this relatively
easy to spreadsheet this one out.
You obviously mean .544e6 AU (not "a half million light years away")

Sirius may have been as close as within 0.01 ly (632.56 AU), and
worthy of 7+ solar mass as of prior to Sirius B having gone red
giant.
