This is clear. Linear proportionality it is, then.

But this isn't clear. If (constant) is actually a variable, then do you
have linear proportionality? (As a technical note, "luminosity" doesn't
mean "surface brightness", but "total brightness", i.e., double the
surface area while keeping everything else the same, and you double the
luminosity.

Anyway, it's time to check against reality. Take a well-known close binary
system like Sirius. From their mutual orbit, the "known" masses are 2.02M
for Sirius A and 0.98M for B (M = solar mass). So, gravitationally, they
differ by a factor of 2. How do the luminosities compare? For A, we have
25L (L = solar luminosity), and for B, 0.026L. Factor of 1,000 difference
in luminosity, but only a factor of 2 difference in "mass" as measured
from the orbit.

This isn't at all close to your prediction. Since you're highly
intelligent, and a careful and logical thinker, it isn't likely that you
made any error in proceeding from your theory to your prediction.
Therefore, it's likely that your theory is wrong.

So, to test you claims of stellar gravity versus luminosity, one should
compare stars of the same temperature. Sirius A and B aren't identical,
but close. Sirius A is A1V, Sirius B is A2. Close enough, considering the
x1,000 ratio of luminosities.

The experiment can be designed to try to achieve a desired accuracy. If
you could be bothered saying how accurate the experiment needs to be, then
perhaps something could be done. Since you keep refusing to say (and
surely you must know how large the effect should be, or at least capable
of quickly deducing, from your theory, how large the effect should be),
there isn't any point in trying the experiment.

If you have two identical balls, and heat one to be double the absolute
temperature of the other (i.e., to about 330C; yes, easy to heat it more,
but let us keep this simple), the hot ball will radiate 16 times as much
power, with peak emission at double the frequency (i.e., half the
wavelength). How much stronger will the gravitational force be?

If you can be bothered applying your mighty intellect, and actually
provide a quantitative answer, perhaps an experimental test might be
worthwhile. Without such an answer, useless.

Well, if your theory is perfectly OK with a null result, why would a
positive result support your theory? Surely your statement above means
that the experiment is completely irrelevant to your theory.

Or, since the luminosity/gravity predictions of your theory appear to fall
at the first astronomical hurdle, perhaps it's more that your theory is
irrelevant to reality.

Oh, good heavens.
No, it does not say that, even in essence.
And if you have no idea what Newton's 2nd law is good for, then good
heavens, you learned nothing in school. Nothing.

No again. This has no bearing whatsoever on the concept of momentum
used in physics.

You simply manufacture things in your head and apply words to them
that are already reserved for something else.

So here's the problem, NoEinstein.
I've summarized for you several things in the last week.
I've summarized an experimental result that shows that Lorentz time
dilation is observed.
I've summarized an experimental result that shows that Lorentz length
contraction is observed.
I've shown you in detail how conserving energy is fully consistent
with kinetic energy being proportional to the velocity squared.
Today you say that none of these things happened.

This tells me either:
- You cannot read and do not understand anything that is written to
you, or
- You suffer from dementia, and you forget on Tuesday what you read on
Monday, or
- You are a persistent, malicious, and compulsive liar.

Now, given that one of these three things is going on with you, why
would anyone believe that you have anything to contribute to science
at all?

Don't you find it remarkable, John, that you are hesitant to say
whether you believe that 5+17=22?
Isn't it remarkable that you are sufficiently unsure of yourself that
you cannot even stake a claim in the sand about simple yes or no
questions like that?
