Seems like a rather obscure device to have created just to maintain a round Earth conspiracy.
How is that a non-sequitur?It turns out that any field where delicate measurements of weight are required must correct for differences in gravity:
How is that a non-sequitur?
Quote from: douglips on November 24, 2017, 09:44:15 PMHow is that a non-sequitur?Because the conclusion doesn't follow from the premise.
FE holds that gravity doesn't exist, right? (UA). If this was true, why would such a device exist? Call it a question, not a conclusion. Do you have an answer, or just grammar criticism?
FE also holds that there is still gravitational influence by heavenly bodies. Having a device would be helpful in measuring that. Of course, I am sure you have done some research, so you already knew that.So yes, there is your answer. And it was more a criticism of your logic, not your grammar. Take care!
If ones of the uses for this device is finding submarines

Researchers could deploy networks of the tiny gravimeters to monitor the movements of magma within and underneath volcanoes, possibly discerning the magnitudes and patterns of flows in advance of an eruption, for example. Or they could mount them on drones and use them to search for underground voids that could eventually evolve into sinkholes, or for humanmade structures such as tunnels used to smuggle drugs.

I guess it's possible that it has never been used for this purpose and someone thought that with a missing sub this would be a great time to try it for the first time ever. Doesn't seem very likely to me.But let's not change the subject. Why would this device exist in a world with UA and no gravity?Here are some uses of the devices now that they are becoming smaller and more portable.QuoteResearchers could deploy networks of the tiny gravimeters to monitor the movements of magma within and underneath volcanoes, possibly discerning the magnitudes and patterns of flows in advance of an eruption, for example.

There is a difference between the meanings of "could" and "did".
And still nobody answers, why would these devices exist? In UA, they simply could not work.
You have not completely researched our position about the Universal Accelerator. The slight differences are caused by celestial gravitation affecting the device at different altitudes.
If the variance of gravity was actually explained by influence from "heavenly bodies", then it would be a function of altitude from the Earth's surface. (100 feet above ground, 100 feet closer to the stars). This device would still serve no purpose.

You can't explain them away with altitude differences. I will restate what I said in an earlier post.

Who discovered a precious metal or oil deposit with a gravimeter?Oil hunters also reportedly use dousing rods in an effort to find oil. The fact that thry might carry such equipment is not evidence that it actually works.
