the reluctant philosawhatchamacallitizer

Sorry people, but like ive mentioned before, theres a reason why most of my ideas are half baked, not thought out, and far fetched - I'm lazy. I like the initial rush of feeling like ive uncovered some of life's deepest secrets whereas, at best, i come close to offering a different view of nothing. Bottom line, i feel smart for a bit so back off!!

Anways, in the regal tradition of that laziness, I'm gonna put forward some "concepts, " some core ideas, thoughts, queries and what not in the hopes that you fine, amazing, super (whatever it takes to get somebody else to do the job) beautiful people will offer your unique, priceless thoughts.

Here goes:

  1. Is centripidal force the same as gravity?

People seriously, im not trying to sound intelligent by using big words or aything, this is something ive wondered about for some time so i really wanna know. I'm not gonna explain centripidal force cos if i have to explain it, then you arent the person who'll be abswering this question (no offence. thank you come again)

What i wanna know is, cos what ive been given to understand is that it's the force thats keeping us on the surface of this rock. Therefore, that would mean that the apple falling to the ground etc etc is cos if this and not what we call "gravity" right?

In that case, are we saying that if the earth's rotation starts to slow up, then, we should prepare to be flung into space??

Looking forward to some answers.

Will put in another query soon.

centri...force is not the same as gravaty....centri force is caused due to rotation gravaty is not...i think!!!!!!
and on the 2 kiss theory...man thats happened to me a million times!!!!!!

i'll have another one said...

>ksingh: hands up

>amrita: thanks for posting (i know t arm twisted you into it), ya centripidal is caused by rotation but that still doesnt refute that IT creates the gravity. But like i said, i know little about a lot and thats just as far as little takes me.

and for the two-kiss...insane right? i think we really need to sit down and decide a norm (dull as that may sound). but on the other hand, the unknown still makes for some (albeit short lived) amusement especially when it happens to someone else. :)
