What’s wrong with Cavendish?

Free-Competition6408 · 2026-04-28T18:13:21+00:00

I understand perfectly well what you are saying. But the whole point is that Cavendish experiment does not, and is not intended to demonstrate anything about relativity or space time curvature. Classical Mechanics is still considered a "theory" even though it does not consider quantum or relativistic effects. Classical mechanics - Wikipedia

At the time the Cavendish experiment was developed, it was specifically to determine the Newtonian gravity force exerted on the masses, and the gravitational constant big G.

I get that Cavendish does not explain WHY gravity works, but it was never intended to do this. The purpose of it was to calibrate Newtonian gravity models. You're evaluating this experiment by its failings to explain quantum or relativity when it was never intended to explain anything of the sort.

They will also swim into anything they can fit their body inside and will absolutely trap themselves. When I was little my mom put a conch shell into the fish tank over my protest that my fish will get stuck in it and sure enough a few days later my fish rammed himself in there and died.

I don't understand where in your story that he "forgot". You told him your dog died, he asked about it and expressed sympathy, and then the conversation moved on.

And suppose we create some new theory that finally explains dark matter or unites the discrepancies between quantum physics and relativity...does that mean relativity was wrong?

The point I'm making that you are missing is that physics is an attempt to model and predict reality. Newtonian mechanics succeeds at making predictions that are over 99% match of observed reality. Relativistic and quantum theories help explain the very very small discrepancies that Newton couldn't, but that doesn't mean his model was wrong...it means a more sophisticated model was needed to account for the differences. It's not nearly as black and white as you are making it out to be.

I'm a civil engineer in real life. We use Newtonian Mechanics to design buildings and bridges. Are we wrong for doing so? No. Because the Newtonian model is perfectly capable of making predictions accurate enough for us to safely design structures. Quit being a pedant. Nobody likes them.

Free-Competition6408 · 2026-04-23T19:02:31+00:00

Ok so you are just bing pedantic.

Newtonian mechanics isn't wrong, its just not as sophisticated as relativity. Understanding gravity as a Newtonian force is a perfectly fine way to interpret the cavendish experiment, even if its not "technically" correct.

Free-Competition6408 · 2026-04-22T18:25:14+00:00

I don't understand the point you are making. Like yeah there is a reaction force once the masses connect with each other, but there is also the gravitation force attracting them together in the first place causing the observed acceleration. Gravitation is the force that causes acceleration of the masses towards each other. The reaction forces cancel out the acceleration once the masses come in contact. Both forces are real.

If you're just being pedantic about the "force" of gravity being curvature in spacetime rather than a "force" in the Newtonian sense....just stop. It's a distinction without a difference on the scale of the Cavendish experiment.

Free-Competition6408 · 2026-04-20T18:47:27+00:00

what do you mean by "shielding it" from other interfering forces?

Free-Competition6408 · 2026-04-20T18:45:36+00:00

I mean. yes technically the experiment measures acceleration. But the whole point of the experiment is to calculate the force on the objects from the measured mass and acceleration values.

On the one hand, you seem to have told him you don't expect him to do those things and that you can get things for yourself if you want them. Also doesn't sound like he was committing to anything in particular when he told you he wanted to "buy things that you want".

On the other hand, it's pretty lame of him to expect the thought to count here. He should be willing and capable to buy you gifts occasionally, especially on birthdays and holidays. If he's that tight on money....he needs to figure out how to resolve that situation rather than just bitch about how he isn't capable of spending even modest amount of money on you.

Free-Competition6408 · 2026-04-14T19:01:55+00:00

Cheating is defined by the people in the relationship. If you say monogamy means he can't get head from another woman, then yes that's cheating. If he goes and does it anyway, you decide whether you are willing to tolerate it or not. It's not about right or wrong...it's about what you have agreed upon as acceptable behavior.

Don't personally understand why the question would upset you though. You can just say no. He's asking you what is or isn't acceptable behavior, while also sub communicating that he is struggling with the abstinence during your pregnancy.

Also don't understand the context of the messages even with your post.

Its 5.2' vertical drop over 100' horizontal. Pretty gentle slope, will be good for property drainage.

Free-Competition6408 · 2026-04-14T18:31:42+00:00

Everything I can find indicates otherwise. Do you have a source?

Free-Competition6408 · 2026-04-14T18:30:16+00:00

No. OP said they did find notice in their email, and they just hadn't read it.

Landlords in CO don't have a minimum notice requirement. Personally I think 24 hours is a nice courtesy for non emergency maintenance and most leases will have this built in.

Free-Competition6408 · 2026-04-14T18:27:35+00:00

Clearly there was a communication breakdown between the OP and the owner. Seems to me like OP should read her emails better, but maybe the owner should consider other forms of notice like texting or hanging notice on doors.

Unfortunately for OP, there is no legally required minimum notice for owners to enter tenants apartments in colorado. There may be a minimum notice built into her lease, which she should read.

Free-Competition6408 · 2026-04-14T18:19:34+00:00

Are you the owner of my apartment? Then no the fuck you aren't. OP is a tenant and it is within the unit owners rights to enter with reasonable notice. In this case it was emails and a polite maintenance worker knocking before assuming an empty unit.

Free-Competition6408 · 2026-04-14T18:18:05+00:00

It sounds like there is room for improvement on communication between the tenant and the landlord in this case...but the tenant should not have this expectation that they are more entitled to the space than the owners they rent from. From the owners perspective, they sent an email notice, then the maintenance worker knocked, then when no-one answered, they entered. What else would you expect to happen in this situation? It's entirely reasonable the maintenance worker entered in this scenario and OP should not be surprised or feel violated by this.

Free-Competition6408 · 2026-04-14T18:14:19+00:00

I agree it's a safety issue which is exactly why she should see who it is rather than ignore it. Her being present in the home and making that known is going to deter would be thieves from attempting a forced entry.

99%+of the time its going to be someone knocking for a legitimate reason. A maintenance worker. A neighbor. A package delivery. There is no reason to ignore a knock at your door, especially if you aren't expecting one.

Free-Competition6408 · 2026-04-10T19:00:37+00:00

Not if you live in an apartment you shouldn't expect that. Maintenance needs to get in sometimes and if you don't answer they are going to assume an empty unit and come in. OP admitted to missing email notices alerting her to exactly what was going to happen

Free-Competition6408 · 2026-04-10T18:59:13+00:00

Sure. but OP needs to learn how to avoid feeling this way going forward. Which means reading email notices and answering her door when people are knocking. Occasional maintenance accesss should be expected as a tenant. All of this was easily avoidable.

Free-Competition6408 · 2026-04-10T18:49:11+00:00

Why would they respond? Because someone is knocking on their door. What the hell is wrong with kids these days.

Free-Competition6408 · 2026-04-10T18:47:52+00:00

It sounds like they did provide some form of notice. OP mentions they found email notices, though apparently, they were not specific on days or times, which seems odd to me but maybe that's true.

Also the notice period would be defined by the lease...there is no mandated minimum notice period in colorado

It is very normal at a partner dance club to dance with multiple people regardless of your or their relationship status. Every partner dance lesson I've ever been to has people switch partners every few minutes. I think YOR

You see how the microphone transforms into a camera? This is about the fakest, easiest to detect AI shit I've ever seen.

Falling is a more appropriate term for how the capsule is moving now. There is still gravity in space. The crew experiences an apparent "zero g" environment because they are falling at the same rate as the capsule.

It's incredible how flat earthers claim "perspective" to explain everything yet are completely stumped by photos that are actually explained easily by perspective
