Gravity does not exist

Four forces are simpler than five. (Occam would be proud of me). What is the difference between gravity and Subbity? Can you make a prediction, based on your theory, that would could possibly falsify your theory? It isn't science unless we can prove you wrong somehow.

Denying the antecedent!If the earth was spinning, then we should feel dizzy. We don't feel dizzy, so we aren't spinning.But, consider that the reason we are not dizzy is not because we are not spinning?Dizziness doesn't work like you say, unless you have a new theory on the mechanism of the vestibular system.Newton's first law states that "An object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by another force". Therefore, when you are moving on a merry-go-round, the fluid in your semicircular canals wants to fly off and go in a straight line, and your hair cells detect this motion as you spinning. (by the way, centripetal acceleration is not only proportional to velocity, but also inversely to radius. So, even though you spin at 426m/s at the equator, you only experience 2.8cm/s/s of centripetal acceleration. This isn't enough to move your fluid much).As one hops off the merry-go-round, the fluid keeps moving (per 1st law of Newton), so you feel like you are spinning. Because we don't hop off the Earth, we can't feel dizzy - our fluid will always be moving slightly, and our brain will compensate for this slight movement.So, how about a prediction which actually works?

Ah, but how dizzy? Surely you agree that if you spin really fast, you get more dizzy than if you slowly spin around? So it must be more complicated than you assume.As for my calculations:acceleration(centripetal)=(tangential velocity)^2/(radius)So, for a merry-go-round of 3m diameter (1.5m radius), going with a velocity of 2m/s, we havea(c)=(2 x 2)/(1.5)=2.7m/sBut for the earth (where on the equator, one spins around the full 40,075,020m circumference in one day = 86400 seconds) the velocity is 462m/s and the radius, at the equator, is 6,377,563m. So we havea(c)=(426 x 426)/(6377563) = 0.028m/sSo clearly, one will be dizzy to about 1% of the degree of dizziness experienced on a merry-go-round.

Dizziness is not comparable to centripetal acceleration, but to change in centripetal acceleration. This is why you feel dizzy when you hop off - change from 2.7m/s/s to about 0. But, you don't hop off the Earth, so won't feel dizzy.

Well yes, turning your head while on one could also bring about a change in centripetal acceleration.Let's see. If the Earth was a merry-go-round of diameter 3m, it would have be travelling atv^2=r x a
v^2=1.5 x .028=0.042
v=.205m/sTherefore, it would be making one full rotation every 45 seconds. Do you expect to get dizzy on that?!
