Kilauea volcano Eruption, planets?
« on: 28/06/2018 00:06:29 »
Just a quickie, I'm late for work already lol.
On May 3rd 2018, the Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island erupted from

Now use this site. Its pretty cool you need flash installed to view correctly. use the toolbar on the
right side and adjust the date to the above posted one.
theplanetstoday.com
basically back it up.

Could it be that Jupiter and mars and maybe Jupiter Gravitational pull Incited the volcano to erupt?

Cheers

Let me see if I can calculate just how strong of a pull we could feel from Mars and Jupiter under ideal circumstances.

The modern record for Mars' closest approach to Earth is about 55,760,000 kilometers. The mass of Mars is 6.4171 x 1023 kilograms. If we want to calculate how much force this exerts on a 75 kilogram person standing on Earth's surface, we can use the following equation:

F = G((m1m2)/r2)

where F = force (in newtons)
G = the gravitational constant
m1 = the mass of Mars (in kilograms)
m2 = the mass of the person (in kilograms)
and r = the distance of the person from Mars (in meters)

F = 6.674 x 10−11 N·kg–2·m2 ((6.4171 x 1023 kg)(75 kg)/(5.567 x 1010 m)2)
F = 6.674 x 10−11 ((4.812825 x 1025)/(3.0991489 x 1021))
F = 6.674 x 10−11 (15,229.505536)
F = 0.00000103643 N (1.05687778 x 10-7 kg)

So Mars will be pulling on this person with a force of 0.000000105687778 kilograms whereas the Earth is pulling on them with a force of 75 kilograms. This means that the Earth is pulling on that person 709.6 million times stronger than Mars is. Needless to say, Mars has a negligible pull on anything here on Earth. Now for Jupiter:

F = 6.674 x 10−11 N·kg–2·m2 ((1.8982 x 1027 kg)(75 kg)/(5.888 x 1011 m)2)
F = 6.674 x 10−11 ((1.42365 x 1029)/(3.4668544 x 1023))
F = 6.674 x 10−11 (410,646.031169)
F = 0.00002740651 N (2.79469 x 10-6 kg)

Although Jupiter's pull is stronger than that of Mars on Earth, it's still very, very small. Earth pulls on anything at its surface with 26.8 million times more force than Jupiter does. I think we can safely exclude them from having triggered any volcanic eruptions. The Sun and the Moon would have significantly stronger tidal effects on the Earth than any of the other planets.

Copy and paste a bunch numbers doesn't disprove a thing. Try again Sir.
I'm laughing at the superior intellect you possess.
Its a theory and your attacks on me are weak and fruitless. yeah i'm talking to you Kryptid

can prove nor deny the theory.

I could say I escaped off a jayflight bound for area 51... disprove it.

ok, lets lock this thread. I PREDICT and lock it at top.
it will stop erupting as soon as we leave mars gravitational pull. Jupiter started it
that date will be around 9/2/2018 or few days after.

the new earthquake and volcano threat will occur
6/05 2019 subsiding 7/15 2019 or a few days thereafter

and even worse conditions from
starting 7/6/2020 and subsiding 8/20/2020

yea lets talk gravitational pulls and geothermal gradient..

if we are not dead if Yellowstone blows.
check your history before you go off half cocked.

May god preserve us all if I am right.

Using that site. make sure you can allow all content. if you don't you wont get the toolbar marked by an arrow at upper right.

And yet I see nothing here describing what is wrong with my calculations.

I don't have to. It is up to you, as the person making the claim, to back up the claim.

"predicting" a newsworthy earthquake will occur somewhere on Earth within in a particular month is no big deal.
It would be more difficult to pick a month where one did not occur, see ...

The straightforward (and accurate/appropriate) calculations kindly provided by Kryptid are not an attack your theory. They are a direct answer to your question:

Not only is the answer to your question a clear "no," but the calculations to back it up show why this cannot be the case.

Laughing at this demonstrates both ignorance and arrogance on your part. As this is the "New Theories" subforum, I'll cut you some slack, but seriously, if you don't want to test your hypotheses (not theories, really) against generally accepted science, why bother posting on a science forum?

I have some bad news for you - you never actually leave the gravitational pull of Mars.
As Isaac Newton showed, the gravitational attraction declines rapidly with distance, but never actually reaches zero.

Quote from: Newton & Kryptid
If we want to calculate how much force this exerts on a 75 kilogram person standing on Earth's surface, we can use the following equation: F = G((m1m2)/r2)= 0.00000103643 N
The r2 in the equation proves that.
In technical terms, this is called the "inverse square law".

This force is far less than the force of a light breeze.
Not enough to set off (or stop) a volcano.

If even all planets were in line, it would be so nice. Also no effect aside from that "wow" when we inspire young astronomers.

Just think about this - This text is just numbers getting projected into your retina to be turned to information again. Preety cool, huh?
