Einstein's Relativity Over With in the Twinkling of an Eye?
After further clarification, I see that Einstein's relativity still applies, but not forever. Right now, the reason we can't exceed the speed of light is because all the gravity of the infinite universe is being compressed into a finite space. That compression of gravity is what causes the mass of an object to increases as it reaches the speed of light, and what requires ever-increasing energy if you are to attempt to exceed the speed of light, which yes, is currently not possible. But once the universe becomes infinite, the gravity will no longer be compressed, mass will therefore not increase as we reach the speed of light, so we can exceed that speed many times over, as fast as we want through infinite space. Since the expansion of the universe is accelerating, if we could pick two dates, then extrapolate some time it might logically become infinite, we might be prepared. I suggest that those who can do the math, check for some logic as to why the universe might become infinite on December 21, 2012, in the twinkling of an eye. Why in the twinkling of an eye? Because you can't "go" to infinity. It's impossible. You must be "taken" there immediately, in the twinkling of an eye! :-) Damaeus -- Damaeus - Damon M. |

Since quark is bound to quark and electron to proton by light, trying to exceed light speed requires that these systems become unbound. David A. Smith |

More like the binding is a dance between "two" partners, and one partner keep waits forever for the one "downwind" to take the next step. And nothing it does can be seen by a third partner "upwind". As they approach c, they get closer and closer to "get the rhythm right". So they are eventually standing on one another's toes... and still not close enough. Unstable, unbound. Makes sense.

They are only models, tools to get our small minds to see larger pictures, and tools that already (at least in the case of aether) have issues that they have trouble handling. David A. Smith |

That's why the baby on the ship doesn't age, but the man back on earth does. Earth is moving at the speed of light, but the ship is expending energy remaining still in a universe moving or expanding at the speed of light. Makes sense.

Your scenario does not describe *to me* how the baby does not age. In my view, my idea is still solid in my mind because you've not provided any reasons not to believe it. Sure.

So when will you start? You have concept that you have poorly presented imo, and blame me for not understanding it. Will you now think it through, or allow someone else in? David A. Smith |

Like I understand the nature of time better than you do? Your scenario does not describe *to me* how the baby does not age. I thought you might already be familiar with the Twin Paradox experiment. In my view, as we on earth move through the fabric of space-time, we age because our "particles" are being eroded/smeared by our movement through space. When you put a baby in a ship and attempt to accelerate him to the speed of light, relative to us, I think that vast energy is being expended by the ship in an attempt to keep itself still, relative to itself and to the space-time around it. Once the ship becomes still, the baby stops aging, but everyone on earth ages at an accelerated rate. What causes the acceleration, I'm not sure. I can't even be sure that the acceleration would be so great as to allow a baby on the ship to spend one hour in space, and return to find his twin an old man. That's just too much acceleration of time in my view. It seems like the baby would simply sit and not age for one hour, and the man on Earth would age one hour simply because he's moving through space-time, and the baby on the ship is sitting still relative to itself and space-time, but moving at the speed of light relative to earth. It could be that the earth is the center of the universe, and that all measurements of light speed are relative to us. Maybe the universe is spreading out from here where we are on Earth. Since there's really no "direction" in infinity, that the earth seems to revolve around the sun might just be an illusion of vastness. We can't really know from our perspective what our position really looks like from the vantage point of the entire universe, since we can't even see it all from here. We can imagine what it might be like, but who knows until we actually get out there and see? In my view, my idea is still solid in my mind because you've not provided any reasons not to believe it. Sure. Cocaine can make one believe one is a God too, but it is still a mind ****. We think the world needs to bow at our feet, when we have one of the mental erections... I don't need that. I'd just like to see that someone knows how to agree on big ideas instead of disagreeing just because it hasn't been tried yet. You've shown me no reason why my idea cannot be true. You've shown me no reason to believe you have completed your thought. Maybe we are falling from an event horizon at a local value of c, and obtaining c (locally) still does not keep us still wrt the exterior surface. The key in Science is to provide falsifiability, allowing one to make a claim that can be potentially disproven. "Why my idea cannot be true" is unimportant, even to you. What does Nature think? So that my claim can't be disproven means it isn't science, but truth. Nature apparently likes it, since what Nature is doing doing falls right in line with what I write. So that you or anyone else doesn't agree doesn't matter to me one way or the other. I just talk about it and let people decide what they will. So when will you start? You have concept that you have poorly presented imo, and blame me for not understanding it. Will you now think it through, or allow someone else in? I have thought it through. What are you suggesting I might have left out? Damaeus -- Damaeus - Damon M. |

Your scenario does not describe *to me* how the baby does not age. I thought you might already be familiar with the Twin Paradox experiment. Which has nothing at all to do with us moving at c, seeing the Universe moving at 300 km/sec in some other direction, and jets of matter moving up to 0.1c (or more) in other places in the Universe. You and I won't agree, because you want a different langauge. Good luck. David A. Smith |
