Study Notes
- The text discusses the "ok thermal property" and how it was discovered before the "gravity gradient" was discovered
- Two thermal properties existed before the gravity gradient was discovered
- If the "ok thermal property" had not been discovered first, the gravity gradient would not have been discovered
- The "ok thermal property" refers to a specific set of thermal readings in a particular context
- These thermal readings are important because they indicate whether the gravity gradient is present or not
- The presence of the gravity gradient leads to significant and intriguing topics
- These topics include the basics of gravity gradients, the role of Newton's laws, and the relationship between related concepts
- The text encourages readers to start with the basics, such as the Star-T line in the context of this specific topic
- The story begins with an anecdote about Captain Capital Brother telling a story to three logs, and Newton sharing his own story
- The actual concept of a gravity gradient begins with Galileo's experiments on the conservation of weight.
