Why Did We Get Into Space

Space isn't practical. Empty space has never been observed because nothingness cannot exist. You cannot hold space in your hand or experiment on space because nothingness cannot exist.

I'll just have to disagree on that. Let's get back to that vector you mentioned.

The vector is away. As in the opposite direction.

Great. You know the vector. (Aristotle,Newton,Wessel,Argand,Gauss) Where is it pointing?

Actually it is. It's that pesky thing called scientific measurement (laser ranging from Apollo).
Are you referring to measurement of the energy transfer due to tidal forces?
 
You said crackpots plural so who are the crackpots and non-scientists?
Velikovsky (as already stated) is/ was a crackpot.
Non-scientists?
How about the historians and philosophers?

The only logical interpretation was that one would be referring to Newton and Einstein. Mathematicians are not scientists and they were both quite clearly crackpots.
And the only logical interpretation is that you are either deliberately deceitful or stupid.
Mathematics is a science, and both Newton and Einstein are acknowledged as scientists.

BTW, I refuse to read any more of your quotes since you seem incapable or unwilling to provide sources for them.
And it is notable that out of the three you did eventually provide links to
1 supports your view
1 claims another of your sources is incorrect (a point which you ignore)
and the third you have deliberately mis-represented.
You are either knowingly falsifying your "sources" or are too dumb to realise what they are saying.
Either way you've demonstrated you're not worth continuing with.

Why don't you believe in history and truth?
Why don't you think the truth is scientific?
What repeatability is there with history?
Can you you experiment with it?
You wouldn't recognise truth if it was pushed in front of your face.

Science requires the scientific method, i.e. observation and experiment. There is no observation and experiment in mathematics.

Welcome to your next ban, idiot.
 
History repeats itself all the time.
But the FACT is that history doesn't actually repeat - there are similarities but that's it.

However, repeatability is not the criteria for truth or science.
Not?
It's one of Popper's criteria isn't it?
If you can't repeat it it isn't science.

Does the fact that you can't repeat a 100 mile per hour fast ball mean that Nolan Ryan and Roger Clemens are myths?
So two people have done it?
And it was measured?

"As is well known in all sciences there have been many important events which have not left any trace." -- Hannes O.G. Alfvén, physicist, 1954
Still giving un-linked quotes?
Did you make this one up or just misuse it?

Can you experiment with gravitation? A black hole? A neutron star? Dark Matter? Dark Energy?
Still talking bollocks?
Still going off-topic?
 
History repeats? Sounds like Eliada's description of circular history.
Please provide examples.
 
This I don't understand. You say it is moving away and yet you don't know the direction. Maybe the moon isn't moving away?

The presence of the moon causes drag on the Earth, because of the movement of the atmosphere and the tides, which both create frictional slowing of our world. As the rotation of the Earth slows down, the law of the conservation of angular momentum states that energy lost by one body is transferred to a nearby satellite. Hence, as I've pointed out in other threads, Earth slows down, the moon consequently gains rotational energy, Moon speeds up. Moon moves further away from Earth, slowly increasing the radius and flight-path of its orbit. The Moon moves into a higher orbit, but continues exerting a gravitational effect on the Earth, and so slows down the Earth even more, causing the Moon to keep on moving away. Hope this helps.:)
