Ooops. You just destroyed your entire argument.

If gravity is constant, compression is also constant, and therefore any temperature increase from gravitational compression was conducted, convected, or radiated out shortly after any such "gravitational event".

GasGuzzler, you're a little late. This has been explained to Pete Rogers MANY times ... but he is broken record. He conflates past and present tenses to arrive at his current dogma which insists that events and changes that finished occurring in the past are occurring right now in the present. As obviously bogus as this is, he needs to do this. Here's why:

Laws such as the Ideal Gas law and Charles' law predict changes in temperature caused by changes in other gas parameters such as volume and pressure. If nothing is changing then these laws do not apply. So ... in order to artificially make these laws "apply", Pete Rogers plays the ol' switcheroo on verb tenses by speaking of the earth's atmosphere as though it is compressing right now in the present tense. Instead of saying that the atmosphere compressed long ago before there was any life on the planet, he uses the present tense to say that the atmosphere maintains its compressed state. Sure, neither the atmosphere's volume nor pressure is changing, so neither of the aforementioned laws apply, but quick-thinking Pete Rogers simply replaces the past tense with the present tense and bingo, he's back in business. Now he can pretend to explain how gravity "enhances" the atmosphere's temperature via Charles' law by compressing the atmosphere to its present volume.

You might notice that Into the Night and I have tried repeatedly to emphasize that the atmosphere's volume is not changing, and that Volume(initial) = Volume(final) which, according to Charles' law indicates that the temperature does not change. Pete Rogers nonetheless insists that the atmosphere's Volume(initial) is clearly much bigger than it otherwise would be with less gravity. He does not explain why this matters when gravity is simply not changing, as he acknowledges.

On the other hand, Pete Rogers cannot discern the difference between verb tenses so this explanation that I am giving you is totally lost on him.

Into The Night wroteThe troposphere is not being compressed. Gravity is not changing. V1=V2.

The Troposphere is in a compressed condition having lost volume due to the pressure of its own weight at 1ton per sq ft. pulling its boundary position closer to the centre of gravity, thar reduced volume being V2. V1 is the larger volume it would occupy before that compression. What is the matter with your brain?

This is really the same as the last point in essence. Of course, the volume of the Troposphere is constant - more or less - but we are doing a "Thought Experiment" in which we ask "What about V1 if gravity were weaker?" and get the answer that it would then be more than V2.

IBdaMann wroteNope. It is possible that it would feel cooler to human perception but each molecule would have the exact same temperature.

IBdaMan wroteHigh in earth's orbit, where atmospheric pressure is essentially zero, molecules can get very, very hot ... but would feel cool/cold to the touch because of the scarcity of the molecules. One more time, very, very hot molecules feel very cold. Thermometers can be fooled in this manner.

Also, water can be boiled until it freezes. If you put water in a vacuum, the lack of pressure will cause it to boil while the water's thermal energy radiates away (with no air to replace the lost thermal energy) and the liquid water will cool until it turns to ice.

IBdaMann wroteIf gravity were somehow reduced and the atmosphere were to expand somewhat, the temperature of the air will not be changing. The temperature of other things in the atmosphere might change due to changes in the pressure.

Pete Rogers wrote:On the contrary, it is precisely because of the conservation of the thermal energy

Thermal energy is not conserved. Energy is conserved. IBdaMannwroteThermal energy can be converted to electromagnetic energy at which point there will be less thermal energy.

and you are violating this law by trying to apply to it laws that pertain only to instantaneous change.

That is not an hypothesis. You are scientifically illiterate.

2. An hypothesis is derived from a falsifiable model. You have no falsifiable model from which to derive any hypotheses.
3. An hypothesis is a prediction about nature and necessarily includes the word "will" i.e. the future tense of some verb or what a future result will be.

You are a scientifically illiterate moron. What you just wrote is entirely stupid. Any molecule with quantity X of thermal energy will be of the exact same temperature at any other time it has X thermal energy. The thermal energy is what determines its temperature.

TIBdaMan wrotehe weight of the atmosphere is met by an equal and opposite contact force from the lithosphere's and hydrosphere's surface. These are different things from what you were talking about.

IBdaMann wroteAlso, energy is not a force and no force is energy. You still haven't been able to grasp this distinction. The kinetic energy of molecules is not an "expansive force."

Pete Rogers wrote: ... causing equilibrium

IBdaMannwroteEquilibrium is not caused. Equilibrium is a natural state brought about by the 2nd law of thermodynamics. It's the breaking of equilibrium that needs a cause. You are discussing a stable equilibrium and therefore "cause" does not apply, being beyond your comprehension, apparently, elementary though the physics is.

Pete Rogers wrote:When you pumped your bike tyre until you could pump no more, the air within the cylinder remained in a state of compression until you released it, Einstein,

IBdaMan wroteGo on, specify it. State it clearly and unequivocally for all to read. The earth's atmosphere and the tyre's air were heated by compression and never cooled at any time in the past which is why both remain in a temperature-enhanced state of compression in the present tense..

Yes, I was going to address this in another post but because you raised this issue specifically, I'll address it here.

The short answer is that Pete Rogers denies Stefan-Boltzmann (among other things)

Earth is just like water in a vacuum, i.e. it freezes despite everything being at room temperature. The water radiates its thermal energy away. All matter above absolute zero radiates thermally. Without any air (matter) to replace the water's lost thermal energy, the water's temperature drops ... and of course freezes in the process.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4BGV7-1lhs&t=451s

The earth is always radiating at exactly the same rate it is absorbsing energy from the sun, i.e. equilibrium. If the atmosphere were to ever increase in temperature above the equilibrium temperature, its radiance per Stefan-Boltzmann would increase in excess of the equilibrium radiance, the atmosphere's temperature will cool by radiating into space thermal energy faster than that which is acquired from the sun. The atmosphere would then return to the previous temperature that radiates equally to what is being absorbed from the sun.

When in thermal equilibrium - as it is - the total thermal energy in the Troposphere is more or less constant with the thermal energy flowing in being the same as that flowing out and this constant amount is what the troposphere "contains".

False. Any temperature gradient is determined by the distribution of thermal energy, not due to the presence of any minimum pressure. What is your rationale for believing this? I'm sure it's bound to be entertaining.

I'm familiar with thought experiments. They are great for building a better understanding of why something cannot happen. Engineers use this process to think through why something will not work. Mathematicians use this same technique to develop proofs by contradiction.

You, on the other hand, did not engage in a thought experiment. You engaged in imaginative science fiction writing. Star Wars is not an hypothesis, it is science fiction. Gravity generating thermal energy is not an hypothesis; it is science fiction. Perhaps if ATE gains traction you can sell the movie rights to George Lucas.

Allow me to throw this back at you. The most popular of thought experiments are those that seek to defeat the 2nd law of thermodynamics. If you would take your own advice and engage in this exercise, you might stop denying the laws of thermodynamics and instead embrace them.

Pete Rogers wrote: [/b] Ipso facto the Tropospheric Temperature will be enhanced

I realize you particularly like the phrase "ipso facto" but you are still responsible for using it correctly. It appears that someone told you that this particular Latin phrase is a trump card, i.e. that it is somehow an automatic win for your argument if you use the phrase. There is no ATE that is caused by gravity, even if you claim "ipso facto." You aren't Harry Potter and don't get to dictate how physics is to work by casting the right spell.

Learn English, learn science and then try to craft arguments involving physics. You will meet with much greater success.

Pete Rogers wrote:Of course thermal energy cannot occupy a vacuum, that is why any gas body surrounded by one cannot lose any into it!!

The earth does not lose thermal energy into the vacuum; it simply loses thermal energy ... as the thermal energy is converted to electromagnetic energy which does radiate into the vacuum.

Energy is lost into the vacuum, just not in the form of thermal energy.

I gave you a link to a video showing room-temperature water boiling simply because it is put into a vacuum, and then freezing when sufficient thermal energy had been lost as electromagnetic radiation. You should have watched it but obviously did not. Clearly you intend to remain totally ignorant and to maintain the high stupidity level of your posts.

Pete Rogers wrote:... you should discover that the degree to which the volume of the Troposphere is confined

Zero. There is nothing confining the troposphere anywhere, just as there is nothing confining you when you are out walking in the park.

It would appear that you need to learn English.

Pete Rogers wrote: ... here on Earth anything that has surroundings reverts to their temperature because of the 2nd Law of Dynamics, but this doesn't happen if the gas body is surrounded by nothing Einstein,

Aren't you forgetting Stefan-Boltzmann? Stefan-Boltzmann explains exactly what happens very clearly.

Oh wait, you are scientifically illiterate and you have no idea what Stefan-Boltzmann explains. You have no idea why your science fiction is absurd. It must suck to be you.

Anyway, you'll recall that I gave you a link to a video showing room-temperature water boiling simply because it is put into a vacuum, and then freezing when sufficient thermal energy had been lost as electromagnetic radiation. Wait, I think I already covered this.

Pete Rogers wrote: also metal cubes do not compress ...

You have never wondered how two cubes of the same metal can be of different densities? Ask me how I know.

Your ATE is still dismissed from seven different angles.

Pete Rogers wrote:Since the GE has no thermal effect the difference is 100% Einstein,

Since ATE has no thermal effect either, the difference is 0%, Rocky.

Pete Rogers wrote: ... because the state of permanently reduced volume ...

Only matter can have thermal energy. No vacuum can have thermal energy, no matter the volume. Dismissed.

Pete Rogers wrote: the combined effect being Charles' Law.

Charles' law only applies to instantaneous change. You specify a stable equilibrium, ergo Charles' law does not apply.

The earth's atmosphere cooled long ago to the earth's equilibrium temperature and has remained ingloriously unenhanced ever since.

Dismissed.

Pete Rogers wrote: V1 is the volume of the Troposphere as it would be at a hypothetical 10kPa surface pressure and V2 is its volume today at 101.3kPa.

Nope. Learn Charles' law.

V2 = the volume right now in the present tense.
V1 = the volume in the past, such as yesterday.

V2 = V1. Temperature2 = Temperature1

Free English Tip: The words "would" and "should" can only be used to show an argument to be false. If you ever see these words being used to support an argument then the argument is assigned the value of FALSE. The reason is that the subjunctive is expressly that which is not the case.

Pete Rogers wrote:... and T1 is what it would be without the ATE

So from what we just learned above, this statement is FALSE. QED.

Pete Rogers wrote: the stability of the atmosphere's reduced volume dictates the temperature under Charles' Law.

Only matter can have thermal energy. No vacuum can have thermal energy, no matter the volume. Dismissed.

Pete Rogers wrote: That it is compressed and remains in that state of compression is all you need to concern yourself with Einstein.

That being the case, neither the Ideal Gas law nor Charles' law applies.

This kind of chops your argument off at the knees.

You will never get anywhere until you start accounting for the additional energy needed to increase the earth's average global temperature, which includes the atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere. Only matter can have thermal energy so your attempt to focus on an atmospheric volume does nothing to account for any of the needed additional energy since the amount of matter is obviously remaining the same.

Until you start addressing the additional energy requirements, your argument will be dismissed summarily. Conflating tenses will not avail you. Dipping into the subjunctive will not avail you. Using bad math will not avail you. Denying science will not avail you. Acknowledging my comparative level with Einstein will not avail you. Employing all the same physics violations as do warmizombies will not avail you.

If you are claiming an increase in temperature then you must explain from whence the required additional energy cometh. Period. Otherwise, your argument gets the boot.

Pete Rogers wrote: so Charles Law is in permanent operation

More poor word selection on your part. Charles' law is a law of science and is not somehow a system that is in operation. Charles' law always applies whenever there is an instantaneous change in a gas volume.

What? The atmosphere's volume is not changing in the present tense? Ipso facto Charles' law is not "operating" in the present tense.

V2=V1. Temperature2=Temperature1.

Pete Rogers wrote: It's your logic combined with an astonishingly ill-informed attempt to confine the meaning that is attributed to the word "Compressing"

That's a funny way to characterize not conflating tenses. I will not write "compressing" (present progressive) when referring to compression that completed in the past.

Pete Rogers wrote:The moment the big toe's volume stopped decreasing was the moment that the compressive force came into balance with the expansion force, so it is definitely still being compressed because your big boot is still compressing it,

Nope. You need to learn English. The moment the big toe's volume stopped decreasing was the moment my foot could not compress it any further. My foot could not compress it any further and all compression therefore ceased because my foot could not compress the toe any further. Did you catch that? There was no more compression from that point forward so the big toe was definitely not still compressing. Your statement is just another sad example of your need to conflate tenses in order to get your statements to appear to be correct.

Pete Rogers wrote:Another word for "compressing" is "squeezing".

This is reflective of your poor English proficiency.

Compressing does not mean squeezing. Neither applies in the case of the atmosphere.

Compressing requires a reduction in volume and the atmosphere is not reducing in volume.

Although squeezing requires no reduction in volume, it requires force from opposing sides/directions ... but the atmosphere has only contact force from the bottom of the atmosphere and nothing to provide any "squeezing" from atop.

Gravity keeps the atmosphere from leaving the earth. Contact force maintains the atmosphere's volume. Neither of these forces is capable of creating thermal energy out of nothing or of somehow increasing the temperature of matter.

There is no compressing and there is no squeezing. One has to wonder how you ever arrived at this egregious misunderstanding if not for having slept through your schooling.

Pete Rogers wrote: ... because they compress

Pete Rogers wrote:... the atmosphere cannot lose Thermal Energy into the surrounding vacuum because

a) it can't do it by conduction because there is nothing to conduct the energy into and
b) being transparent it is unable to originate IR, so the excess temperature has to be conducted to the only thing it is in contact with; the planetary surface
c) The atmosphere enhances the temperature of the Earth due to its concentrating of thermal energy to the particular degree made inevitable by the extent of its permanent state of compression

IBdaMann wrote previously, but Pete Rogers totally ignored, the following information that would have saved Pete Rogers some embarrassment had only he paid attention:

1. There is no such thing as being compressed in a particular direction
2. Gravity is the force keeping the atmosphere on earth while contact force is the force maintaining the atmosphere's volume.

Any temperature gradient is determined by the distribution of thermal energy, not due to the presence of any minimum pressure.

You used the subjunctive to imagine a scenario that is not the case ... but tried to present the scenario as, in fact, being the case. This is called "introducing false assumptions" and if allowed to stand, one can prove anything. Most people such as you who have WACKY pet religions tend to reach for the subjunctive in order to get false premises introduced into an argument and accepted by those engaged in the discussion.

The earth does not lose thermal energy into the vacuum; it simply loses thermal energy ... as the thermal energy is converted to electromagnetic energy which does radiate into the vacuum. Energy is lost into the vacuum, just not in the form of thermal energy.
