gravitation itself says that the sun pulls on the moon more than two times strongly than the spherical earth does. When it is so, the moon is required to revolve around the sun as an independent planet; the weaker gravitational field of the spherical earth can not keep it revolving around it (the spherical earth).
All manuscripts of Newton are under custody of Royal Greenwich Observatory, U. K., and it deals with the queries in this regard. Previously I wrote to it my above stated result and asked how Newton's law of gravitation succeeds in making the moon revolving around the splierical earth. My queries were dealt with and no objection was raised upon this result of mine that the law predicts more than two times stronger pull of the sun on the moon as compared to the pull of the earth. Other part of the query was answered with the remarks that I consider the earth and the moon two seperate bodies whereas I should consider the two as one and then there would be no problem at all.
It was a matter of great satisfaction for me to know that the result drawn by me was correct and accepted by the Royal Observatory. Other remarks are obviously quite vague. When the moon and the earth are not joined by any rod, how can I hold them as one single body. The two bodies are quite seperate and there is a considerable distance between the two. In such a case, the moon would be dominated by the sun and not by the earth.
The learned readers can well see that modern science has no proof to this effect that the moon is a satellite of the earth and that it revolves around the earth. This being the case; there seems no justification behind this idea that Apollo Flights have proved sphericity of our earth and that these flights were directed to moon. Absence of Capillarity on the Modern Earth,
Capillarity is the natural phenomenon due to which lighter liquids rise up the surface in narrow tubes and heavier ones fall down. The plants get water from the earth through their fine roots due to capillarity. When water rises up in a narrow tube, its surface in the tube becomes concave. Water and other liquids which rise up in narrow tubes wet the surface of the vessel in which they are kept, whereas mercury and other heavier liquids donot wet the surface of the containers.
A careful study of capillarity makes us known to the fact that the capillary action is possible when the surface of water etc. is quite flat by nature. If the said surface is convex as of mercury, there can be no capillary action in water and in other lighter liquids, nor these liquids could wet the surface of the containers. In modern views, the shape of our earth is spherical and so the surface of water and of other liquids- no matter these are in big oceans or in small vessels become convex by nature. In such a case neither water etc. can wet the surface of the container nor they can rise up their level in the outer vessel in narrow tubes. In other words, we could not find any capillary action on our earth if our earth would have been spherical. Presence of capillary action on our earth and presence of plants on our
