In the scientific method there's a lot philosophy involved in constructing a logical framework which should produce an experimental result which is free from bias.
Induction vs. Deduction
Functional Orbital Mechanics
Any opposition to the popular science (SciPop) heliocentric cosmological model will be greeted with the general refrain of "it must be true because it works."
Based on Gravitational Interaction
Having a value for Earth's average density is critical to the popular science (SciPop) model for its internal structure because we can't see inside the Earth, we can only infer what we think it's structure may be.
Evidence for Dark Matter
There's no evidence for dark matter. It's a placeholder term for an unknown phenomenon in the popular science narrative of godless existence (SciPop). It's a contrivance.
The Role of Dark Matter
The question is, in what way is gravity maintaining the universe and how? In the SciPop paradigm gravity is broadly defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation.
The Mass of the Sun
The current generation of Trekkie scientists assume that you can measure the mass of the sun from a deep space probe. That's what popular science (SciPop) is now, an inductive rationalization of the Star Trek universe.
A Great Gulf
We're at a great advantage over the spaghetti theologians because we've deduced how the passage from Luke resolves with a physical reality. We don't regard any part of this parable as being metaphorical or allegorical.
Everlasting Chains
What could the everlasting chains under darkness be? Is this a metaphor? Is this designed to express the idea of a spiritual concept? Is this accurate physics?
Rich and Sorrowful
Kids are taught from the time that they can look at a screen that the earth is an insignificant little speck which is orbiting an insignificant speck. The underlying message: you're insignificant.
Giving and Receiving
IF Agape gravity is a force propelling us up to heaven (Z bosons) AND Mosaic gravity is a force pulling us down into the core of the Earth (W bosons) THEN is there something affecting whether we go to heaven or hell?
