"Ho-hum. I believe somebody already dealth with that NOAA and GOES of yours. All in all nothing new to offer. Youre beginning to sound like that 65 year old ejit."
>>No one has "dealt with it". NOAA ansd GOES use a non-rotating, earth centered reference frame. Simple as that.
So does NASA for the GPS system.
This constitutes no news at all to those who have grasped the basic principle of relativity.
There are a number of folks who haven't.

"Basically it boils down to is this: the Lense-Thirring effect of using a some sort of rotating matter shell with the earth at the center CAN explain the Coriolis and centrifugal forces found herein the Earth,"
>>Bravo! That is now the second fundamental point you have admitted that is crucial to my geocentrist argument. We are making progress here......
"BUT it introduces a whole bunch of complications into the general mathematical laws;"
>>You have posted no evidence of this. In fact, it introduces absolutely nothing into any "mathematical laws". The coordinate transformation between "FIXED EARTH ROTATING STARS" and "FIXED STARS ROTATING EARTH" is baby simple, as Einstein has told you several dozen times. It is true, however, that the DYNAMICS involved in the transformation reveal a decided superiority to the "FIXED EARTH ROTATING STARS" (geocentric) frame, since the geocentric frame gives us a direct, physical explanation for why the water crawls up the side of the bucket (and by the way, congratulations for coming back into the debate after your mistaken assertion that centrifugal forces do not occur in vacuums. I admire your persistence, and there is nothing wrong with an honest mistake, especially one as creative as that one :-)
So, to reiterate: one can choose the simplest reference frame for work-a-day calculations- this is why NOAA and NASA, sensibly enough, use an EARTH CENTERED EARTH FIXED ("ECEF"😉 reference frame for geostationary satellites.
When the "reference frame" involves the whole universe, however, then the mathematics are going to be extremely complicated no matter which reference point is chosen (for example, the excruciatingly complicated Einstein gravitational tensors).
Einstein and Mach and Thirring showed that the Einstein equations work EQUALLY for an EARTH FIXED/UNIVERSE ROTATING FRAME, and a EARTH ROTATING/UNIVERSE FIXED FRAME----with one gigantic difference:
In the Earth fixed (geocentric) frame, we have an actual, physical source of the Coriolis, Euler, and centrifugal forces, which we DO NOT have in the Newtonian, heliocentric or Einsteinian, acentric frame.
In this precise sense, it is true to say that the Einstein equations tend to favor a geocentric universe.
********************************
"you can reduce the complications by specifying instead that it is the Earth that is ROTATING, just like Venus, Jupiter and the rest of the other planets in the Solar system. Frame dragging or the Lense-Thirring effect is NOT exclusive to geocentrism. "
>>The Coriolis and centrifugal forces DO NOT appear as a consequence of the distant rotating masses in a rotating-Earth model. If the Earth is rotating, then the rotating distant masses WILL NOT give rise to the Coriolis and centrifugal and Euler forces we actually do observe on Earth.
Therefore, it does not reduce the complications one iota to specify that the Earth is rotating. In fact, once you specify a rotating earth, you INCREASE the complications, because now you must introduce a notion of "inertia", which cannot be physically shown to have a direct cause. One must assert, without proving it, that any departure from a straight line motion involves an "acceleration", simply to account for the water climbing the sides of the bucket.
It is much simpler to assert, as Einstein, Mach, and Thirring do, that it is the rotation of the distant masses of the Universe which, DIRECTLY, attract the rotating water and cause it to rise up the sides of the rotating bucket (centrifuge).
But the impolrtant thing, is that you have now granted my point: you have agreed with me that there is no basis under which we can scientifically distinguish, from within the Einstein gravitational equations, between a FIXED EARTH (geocentric) universe, and a ROTATING EARTH (acentric) universe.
We have to look elsewhere for such evidence, and we have found it in spades: redshifts everywhere we look, concentric spheres of quasars and gamma-ray-bursts....indeed, each and all of these observations directly contradict the "acentric" universe on their face. Let us examine some of your attempts to "explain" these phenomena from within the framework of Standard Theory....
Originally posted by TransfinitumI think it is pretty clear what to make of a chap who dismisses valid citations from the physicist who founded General Relativity as a "bad application and demonstration of gyroscopic principles". The simple truth is, like a howler monkey, you can't understand and/or refute Einstein, and so you ignore him.
That is, indeed, cute.
I'll just go ahead and snip the rest of your nonsense, since turnabout is always fair play with a howler monkey.

"Bwahaha. Is this all i get after pointing out your intellectual dishonesty with your misquoted quotes on Einstein?"
>>Intellectual dishonesty? I honestly find it baffling that you should advance such an accusation against me, after I have caught you out asserting that centrifugal forces don't work in a vacuum. Isn't it possible, Sleepy, that you are simply in over your head here? Stop accusing me of moral lapses in the absence of demonstration, please.
"Nothing to say at all as to why you just arbitrarily apply universal gyroscopic stability/ barycenter only on Earth when it could be applied on Mars or Pluto?"
>>But where in the world have I ever said it only applies on Earth? Nowhere. It was you, remember, who asserted it would only work where "air" could provide the "centrifugal force" against the water, which would kinda sorta seem to rule out Mars and Pluto, wouldn't it?
It is abundantly clear to me, Sleepy, that you are flailing about and making things up as you go along here.

"Just remember trying to use relativity's arguments that maintain no preferred reference frame exists against the arguments for heliocentrism, Pluto-centrism, my finger, and then using it to prove arguments for geocentrism is one gigantic double standard.
>>Which is precisely why I do not do it. I first establish that, under Relativity, all earlier-era arguments against geocentrism (Foucault's pendulum, stellar-parallax, retrograde motions, etc) are falsified.
THEN and only then, do we examine the question of whether the "acentric" ASSUMPTIONS of the Standard Theory interpretation of GR stand up to observation.
As we have seen, they don't.
The "acentrists", as we shall see, are driven to ever more outlandish and complicated explanations, involving ever more unseen "entities" (cold dark matter, homogeneous galaxy clusters, etc) in order to extricate themselves from the simplest, most straightforward explanation of the observation--- the Earth is, indeed, in a preferred reference point in our Universe, contrary to the predictions of Standard Theory.
And precisely in accord with the predictions of geocentrism.

"We just use the convenient reference frame to do our measurements. Insisting on earth's place on the universe would violate General relativity and if its done away, geocentrism would simply be untenable using the simpler Newtonian mechanics."
>>Quite to the contrary. Having established, as you admit above, that Mach's Principle (which you not quite correctly refer to as the Lens Thirring effect) provides us with complete physical proof for the derivation of all necessary gravitational forces in a geocentric Universe, we now see that the "acentric" interpretation of General Relativity is inadequate to explain the actual EVIDENCE we SEE in our telescopes and sensors.
