I notice your lack of response to my comment.


The equivalence of inert mass and gravitational mass is physically
error guess on the basis of local measurings.


It is an assumption which has been tested extensively. See for
example Nordtvedt, *The Century of Space Science*, 2001, Kluwer,
Netherlands, p. 335-352. Tests of gravity do not require the
assumption of the equivalence principle. However, tests to date have
been consistent with the equivalence principle.


Extra-solar tests of GR rely on highly precise timing tests.


What other physical quantities you can precision measure in these
" Extra-solar tests of GR " except for " highly precise timing tests
"?


Irrelevant question. Highly precise timing tests are not
quantities. In pulsar timing, the orbit determination is sufficiently
accurate to provide tests of gravitational models *without* assuming
GR is correct.

You have
not presented a basis for your declaration that the tests are
"extremely speculative." You have not presented a quantitative or
technical argument refuting a set of results which is indeed highly
quantitative, careful and technical (for example, measurement of
Shapiro delay within a binary pulsar wystem to within 35 ns; or of
orbital decay predicted by gravitational radiation; see references).
Therefore I reject your claim.


I disagree with you, these so-called "measurings" have extremely
speculative character, since even in the Solar System we have
methodological problems in desired precision of gravitational
measurings.


This claim is unsubstantiated. As shown by decades of measurement
within the solar system, high precisions can be achieved. [ references
provided numerous times. ] Since your "empirical law" apparently has
nothing to say about the dynamics of planets, and the propagation of
radiation in the solar system, it is irrelevant to the discussion. [
I say apparently, because you have provided no evidence. ]

Parable First told by V. B. Braginsky.
================================================== ================

http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/%...ns/Balmer.html

Below I have made a quotations of
Article by: J J O'Connor and E F Robertson

" Johann Jakob Balmer

Born: 1 May 1825 in Lausen, Basel-Land, Switzerland
Died: 12 March 1898 in Basel, Switzerland

Balmer taught in Basel all his life.
From 1859 until his death in 1898 Balmer was a school teacher
of mathematics at a secondary school for girls in the city.
From 1865 until 1890 he was also a university lecturer in mathematics
at the University of Basel where his main field of interest was
geometry.

However, despite being a mathematics teacher and lecturer all his
life, Balmer is best remembered for his work on spectral series
and his formula, given in 1885, for the wavelengths of the spectral
lines of the hydrogen atom.
This was set out in one of only two papers which he wrote on
spectra of the elements, the second being in 1897.

The major contribution which Balmer made, however, depended much
more on his mathematical skills than on his understanding of physics,
for his produced a formula which gave the wavelengths of the observed
lines produced by the hydrogen atom
without giving any physical explanation.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Previous attempts had looked for formulas of quite different types
and had failed to come up with anything which matched the experimental
evidence. Putting m = 7 gave Balmer a predicted value for the next
line and indeed a colleague at the University of Basel was able to
tell Balmer that this line had been observed and the wavelength agreed
with a high level of accuracy with the one Balmer's formula predicted.

In his paper of 1885 Balmer suggested that giving n other small
integer values would give the wavelengths of other series produced
by the hydrogen atom. Indeed this prediction turned out to be correct
and these series of lines were later observed.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++
The reason why the formula holds was not understood in Balmer's lifetime
and had to wait until the theoretical work of Niels Bohr in 1913.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++

Balmer's formula led to more general formulas for the spectral lines
of other atoms. Others who, basing their ideas on those of Balmer,
were able to achieve such results included Rydberg, Kayser and Runge. "

http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/%...ohr_Niels.html

Below I have made a quotations of
Article by: J J O'Connor and E F Robertson

Niels Henrik David Bohr

"On 24 July 1912, Bohr left Rutherford's group in Manchester and
returned to Copenhagen to continue to develop his new theory of
the atom, completing the work in 1913. The same year he published
three papers of fundamental importance on the theory of the atom.
The first paper was on the hydrogen atom, the next two on the
structure of atoms heavier than hydrogen. "

V. B. Braginsky has made a following inference:

"The reason why the Balmer's formula holds was not understood
in Balmer's lifetime and had to wait until the theoretical work
of Niels Bohr in 1913.

Niels Bohr has won the Nobel prize, unfortunately Johann Balmer
the Nobel prize has not won, though he had all legal grounds for
this purpose."

Please make the answer to a problem:
" Why the different CELESTIAL MECHANICAL THEORIES have

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Implicit in the above question is the presupposition that there are
different celestial mechanics theories with different "astrodynamic
constants." What is the basis for this claim?


There are some systems of astronomical constants.
At usage of miscellaneous constants all of them should be
coordinated among themselves and are coordinated with other
data of a problem.
The astronomical constants reflect spatial and time
configurations of actual celestial bodies. The constants are
defined on the basis of observations. Because of inexactness
of measurings always there are indeterminacies in the retrieved
values. There are also dependences between errors of constants.
Some variants are mutual of co-ordinated values can approximately
equally obey to the observational data. The miscellaneous systems
of astronomical constants differ, as a rule, composition
of initial observational data.
The incoordination of accepted values of constants can
introduce in new errors to result of investigations.

Which theories?


In a history of definition of astronomical constants
there were some stable versions. Here some of them:

- the Newcome's System, 1898
- IAU system, 1964
- IAU system, 1976
- DE102 system, 1977
- DE200 system, 1982
- IERS system, 1992
- DE403 system, 1995.

Which constants?



As an example of exact usage of system of astronomical
constants it is possible to give a following situation.
With the help of an DE200 ephemeris the rectangular coordinates
of planets expressed in astronomical units are evaluated.
Then the values of coordinates are translated in kilometers.
Thus for an astronomical unit 149597870.66 kms are possesing
the value, which one differs from value accepted in the IERS
system. And it is correct, as just this value was used at making
ephemerises in system DE200.

And so on with other values of so called " astronomical
constants " from " stable versions" .
" In a history of definition of _astronomical constants_
there were numerous of systems of stable versions... "

================================================== ===========
The gravitational astronomy or different celestial mechanics
theories are an amazing example

of guessing on numbers, i.e. numerology ;^)

You make the erroneous presupposition that the masses in celestial

The basis for for this claim is the existence of the several national
celestial mechanics theories with different "astrodynamic constants
and parameters."


You make the erroneous presupposition that the solutions that you
mention [ in various other scattered messages ] are different theories
of celestial mechanics, which they are not. They are different
*solutions* to the same theory of gravitation, with different sets of
observations. [ refs. 1-3 ] In general, as the amount of independent
observational data increases, the confidence limits on the parameters
-- such as the planetary masses -- will become tighter.



[ Timofeev: ]
Since " GR is a theory which explains the dynamics of masses under
gravitation ", the " almighty " GR is obliged to give theoretical
explanation for 'The empirical law connecting values of planetary
masses in the Solar system'.


Illogical conclusion. Ohm's law has nothing to say about the
formative composition or masses of resistors, and yet it is a useful
description of the behavior of current flow. GR has nothing to say
about the compositions or masses of planets, but it is a useful
description of the dynamical behaviors of masses under gravitation.


In this case I shall offer you other parable from a history physicists:


The referenced parable is irrelevant, because neither Balmer's nor
Bohr's theories of the atom explain the compositions, masses or
charges of the atomic constituents.



Furthermore, it is quite possible for one to find suggestive
numerological relations between groups of quantities, whether or not
the relation is real. In the case above, the number of combinations
of ratios A/(B+C), (A+B)/C or (A+B)/(C+D) is 756. Therefore it is not
surprising that of there could be a tens of ratios close to a whole
number (within +/- 0.05) even for a purely random distribution of
planetary masses. That you found only eight of them suggests that you
could have found quite a few more, if you so chose.


I notice your lack of response to my comment.


Response to your comment a
1) Uncommon or Unparalleled CLASS linear combinations
of triple nearest planetary system masses;
2) PHYSICAL SIMMETRY;
3) Fibonacci numbers


These responses are irrelevant to my comment. It is possible to
choose *many* different combinations of ratios by random which lie
close to a whole number. Since you deliberately chose which ratios
appear in your "theory," there is nothing self evident or
"unparalleled" about them.


The equivalence of inert mass and gravitational mass is physically
error guess on the basis of local measurings.


It is an assumption which has been tested extensively. See for
example Nordtvedt, *The Century of Space Science*, 2001, Kluwer,
Netherlands, p. 335-352. Tests of gravity do not require the
assumption of the equivalence principle. However, tests to date have
been consistent with the equivalence principle.


Extra-solar tests of GR rely on highly precise timing tests.


What other physical quantities you can precision measure in these
" Extra-solar tests of GR " except for " highly precise timing tests
"?


Irrelevant question. Highly precise timing tests are not
quantities. In pulsar timing, the orbit determination is sufficiently
accurate to provide tests of gravitational models *without* assuming
GR is correct.

You have
not presented a basis for your declaration that the tests are
"extremely speculative." You have not presented a quantitative or
technical argument refuting a set of results which is indeed highly

This claim is unsubstantiated. As shown by decades of measurement

radiation in the solar system, it is irrelevant to the discussion. [
I say apparently, because you have provided no evidence. ]
