Gravity does not exist at the LaGrangian point.
Yes it does. Gravity always exists. At a LaGrange point, the gravity of one mass is cancelled by the mass of another. So gravity has no effect on free bodies at a LaGrange point, but gravity still exists. "Bill" wrote: How does one know it exists there? By measuring it? Or by postulating it? If gravity of one mass is cancelled by another then it does not exist, the net force is zero. There is a big difference between "does not exist" and "net force = zero." ... Zero means nothing. Anyway, you are completely wrong. Gravity can be higher at a Lagrangian point provided it is countered by acceleration forces. It says so on this NASA website: So, you said gravity doesn't exist, now you say that it not only may exist but that those who know most about it say it is greater; then you say that I'm "completely wrong." Good work. I look forward to your help and comments with my replies to your scientifically astute and accurate commentary. It's not often we get someone here who really knows their **** and is willing to help others. Thanks immensely. You're welcome immensely. DSK |
