This question and my answer in subsequent posts has been bothering me, so I've been really REALLY thinking about this for hours and hours. Just tonight I was watching a documentary on the moon and it's slow recession from Earth. Then in a massive EUREKA moment it struck me that the retreat of the moon is obviously opposing the gravitational force of the Earth, whilst still being attracted by it's gravitational pull. Therefore, I think I have found the answer... centrifugal force. I believe that is the opposite of gravity.
Ok, so suppose your correct, where is the source? If centrifugal force and gravity both exist together as opposites, are you suggesting the come from the same source or a seperate one?
I'm still liking the opposite of a curve is a mirror image of itself, gravity being the opposite of gravity.
This is what they say our galaxy looks like side on. Mirror images.
And this is our sun relative to the centre
The sun is in a position identical to that of the dots on a ying yang
Also, if centrifugal force is the opposite then the galaxys "arms" in the above pic would then be spreading outwards.
How about when gravity meets gravity but flowing in opposite directions, centrifugal force is the result. The reasoning being it is squeezed out by the pressure of gravity meeting gravity. Which then produces equal and opposite force to 2 sources of gravity and this holds the galaxy together. In theory it would also lock 2 back to back forces together. Thinking on it though the forces would be face to face. 2 forces that hit each other head on and had nowhere to go, so they expand their energy outwards, which sealed/overlapped at the edges like the pic above shows Making a gravity field.. The light parts top and bottom being gravity with direction of flow being into each other and the dark strip being the centrifugal force
Same with the earth pushing the moon away, 2 forces of gravity meet and opposite forces are created. The earth would have to spin the opposite direction to the moon though or the moon not at all. Otherwise they would just be equal forces and would attract, not repel. Almost like they are rolling around on each others field of gravity. Which begs the question, would a planet spin if it didn't have a moon? Or would it, like a smooth bore musket ball just drop off its orbit. Rifle bullets spin and are accurate and stay on the bore line, musket balls don't spin and stray from the boreline as soon as the leave the barrel.
Now, heres another interesting thought. What happens when the outbound CF from one galaxy meets the outbound CF from another. Well at the point of impact you will have 2 inward moving forces, which is equal and opposite( equal force opposite direction), Gravity and gravity, they then collide and produce CF and birth another galaxy,Who's CF then travels out to meet yet another galaxys CF again to create gravity and gravity and so it continues ad infinitum. Like a never ending construction of gear wheels, each one turning others marking the passage of time. Each galaxy is an echo of the 26000 years previously, one cycle of creation. Like the mayans said, at the end of each cycle a new one is created and time moves on
2 x Opposing gravitys = 1 Centrifugal force
1 Centrifugal force = 1 gravity
1+1=2=1
1>+<1=(<2>)=<(1)>
It will be impossibe for 2 CF to come from the same central source , Though more than likely they will meet another sources CF at the edge of a galaxy and form a new one there, which will overlap this one by half. We would theoretically cross into the next galaxy and be taken from this one in its rotation. This would happen because the forces Pulling us into our own galaxy are 1. The gravity that flows towards the centre. Yet the forces taking us away are 3, The gravity from the new galaxy (1) pulling us towards it, which would be a tie with gravity pulling the other way (1) and the CF(2) from the present galaxy.
Of couse for this to happen, it would mean that the CF force from the new galaxy has to grow/spread outwards slowly after formation. Perhaps it takes 26000 years for it to reach the outskirts of the gravity field and CF already there coming inwards..
So along these lines, When equals meet ( gravity and CF from the same source or flowing in same direction) nothing happens as the strength of each is different and one will overcome the other, CF being the strongest, So the galaxy will be spreading outwards, not being sucked inwards.
But when equals meet, ( same force) but head in opposite directions then a struggle begins. Neither can get over under or around the other so over time more gravity builds up behind each side the pressure getting more and more, which create the CF whose pressure is trapped for a long time, then it breaks free and travels outwards until it meets another force of equal and opposing nature then the pressure builds up again.. The clash of the GODS.
Which would mean that CF and not gravity is the prime force in the universe. That and the fact that gravity IS CF if the CF is coming at you. Yet Gravity alone can never be CF
All hypothetical of course.
