Cassis Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Have you tried using an asteroid belt to hold them in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I might try a space ossitory. Or failing that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 You could do. But your black hole could give you a major occultation if you're not careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Riff-Raff Element Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 With regard to the gravitational pull of the moon. All fluids on Earthwill be affected by tidal drag, I am informed by someone with a verylarge number of letters both before and after his name. However, thesize of the fluid body will dictate whether or not this is noticable onan "everyday" scale. For example, the Mediterranean is not tideless asis commonly held, but the tidal movement for this "small" body of wateris insignificant to most observers. A village duckpond has tides, butmeasuring them would be a trick.Ground water, therefore, is not going to show movements on a scale thatwould be comparable to that of a seed. And as for appreciably drawingwater up a stem or down a root - I don't think so.Part of the problem is that a lot of this moon gardening lark ismuddled up with astrology and the like. Even though I make a greateffort to keep an open mind and not discard hypotheses on the basis ofdogma, this does come into the category of "mumbo jumbo" for me. Butthen, us Capricorns are known for our rationality and level headiness[:P]However, some serious work has been done by Cornell and the Universityof Iowa. I found it in my copy of the "Agricultural Notebook." It seemsthat the germination of some seeds is favoured at certain phases of themoon, and these line up with the moon gardening chart I got free with amagazine in 2004, though there are far more on my chart than were inthe book. They are very careful not to offer any explanation as to whythis should be the case, and anyway point out that good rates ofgermination are not necessarily linked to improved yields as the aftercare of crops is a far bigger influence on these.
