Richard, you completely avoided the argument about WHY Miles drops the extra unit. You didn't explain mechanically WHY it is wrong, you just repeated your inital criticism that the units are wrong, therefore the theory is wrong. As I said before, this is to judge the mechanics by the math and is the opposite of physics. Math DOES NOT define reality, mechanics does; it is the math that must defer to the mechanics and not vice versa. The 'square meter' has no physical meaning when we're analyzing straightline acceleration; a striaght line is a straghtline, therefore only ONE dimensional unit is required to represent the reality.

 

Please explain how the units of orbital velocity align with a mathematical curve.
