But this is not true.

    A section of astro physicists trying to establish the theory of bary center means a center of gravity of two celsius bodies like the moon and the earth always rotating around it. If this is true, then the moon is supposed to maintain a fixed distance from the surface of the earth as demonstrated above. But we see a total solar eclipse as well as an Annular eclipse because of the reasons the distance between the moon and the earth varies. When the moon is nearest to the earth we see a total solar eclipse and when the moon remains at farthest we then see annular eclipse. The question does arise as to how the distance of the moon varies when there is a bary center? It means the concept of the bary center is not logically established.

    • @wavydaveyparker
      @wavydaveyparker 5 місяців тому

      The existence of the barycentre is not a theory. It is an established fact, in exactly the same way as gravity is perceived as the attraction between objects of mass. This is true. The Earth and Moon both *orbit* around a common centre of gravity, they do *not rotate* around the barycentre. The distance between the Earth and Moon is not fixed, because Johannes Kepler's first law of planetary motion states, that all *orbits are elliptical.* That is why there is a variation between a total and annular eclipse. Does that answer your question about how the distance between celestial bodies varies over time? The concept of the barycentre is logically established, through the generally accepted laws of orbital mechanics. As set out by Sir Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler and Galileo. All formidable scientists in their own right.

    Hello Bright Side Science, this is spellbinding, and I'm almost speechless, but not shocked, as I did already know about the barycentre before watching. 👏 If I may, can I kindly add this piece of information for your knowledgeable audience, regarding our daily tides: _"Therefore, the two daily tides are of approximately equal height on both sides of our globe shaped planet, because in the _*_equilibrium_*_ of tides theory, the _*_centrifugal_*_ effect, due to the Earth's orbital motion around it's _*_barycentre_*_ with the Moon, is the same across the whole earth, whilst the moon’s _*_gravity_*_ diminishes with distance by the inverse square."_ Which leads to a high tide facing away from the earth on either side, and which is clearly explained in your previous tidal explanation video. Thank you kindly for your diligent and bright side approach to science. Kind regards, _wavy_

      @wavydaveyparker 8 місяців тому

      There is absolutely no need for you to apologize 'Bright Side,' although your diligent and thoughtful behaviour is very noteworthy, and as any respectable scientist or teacher will tell you, it's vitally important to show humility in the sight of small errors, and it's best to just make the corrections, and move on with your work. Your tides presentation is a perfectly valid explanation for the simple occurrence of two high tides a day. At no point did you say that the gravitational force of the Moon was higher than the Earth's. Instead you said that the centrifugal force counterbalances the gravitational force and causes a high tide on the side facing away from the moon. Perfectly correct. The Centrifugal Force was an idea introduced by Newton himself, to explain the 'apparent' outward movement of an object in circular motion, very similar to the action of a centrifuge, but he had to conclude that it wasn't a 'real' force, because there wasn't any agent to produce the desired effect, very similar to the action of gravity, which is the 'apparent' inward movement between objects of mass. However, when questioned on this apparent error in his calculations, he had no answer and said, _"I'll leave that for the consideration of a future scientist?"_ And, that bright side scientist was none other than Albert Einstein, who concluded that gravity and centrifugal were both _'apparent'_ forces, which only appear in an accelerated frame of reference, and that both have a contributing factor behind the tidal phenomena we observe in our oceans, lakes and seas. Can I politely suggest you have a look at Dr Becky's explanation of tides, as it's very similar to yours, and might provide you with some inspiration. Good luck.
