Document Summary

We ve experienced a constant con junction of a s + b s y hume: you cannot demonstrate rationally that god exists. 4- problem of theodicy y a posteriori argument from some fact about the world to god s necessary existence y there s no reason to assume everything (psr) has a cause. y (e. g. ) The world: so these don t have to be a first (god) cause. (i) anything can be a cause of anything else, as long we are put consulting reason. So god could be a body and still produce minds. (ii) it s not necessary to produce an explanation for the whole of the world. The world as a whole (totality/grouping) is a fiction. These are only particular things. (iii)misapplication of the concept cause : concept only applies to particular things we experience (misuse of the concept).

The figure below shows a picture of American astronaut Clay Anderson experiencing weightlessness onboard the International Space Station.

(a) Most people have the misconception that a person in a spacecraft is weightless because he or she is no longer affected by gravity. Show that this premise cannot be true by computing the gravitational field of the Earth at an altitude of 200 km, the typical altitude of a spacecraft in orbit. Compare this result with the gravitational field on the surface of the Earth.

(b) Why would astronauts in orbit experience weightlessness even if they are experiencing a gravitational field (and therefore a gravitational force)?
