What warps 4-D spacetime ?
likely, it's stuff vibrating faster at lower altitudes that does this.

If I'm right, and enough data could be collected,
General Relativity would be merged with Quantum Mechanics
-- Special Relativity is already there.

Quantum Mechanics is just a bundle of statistics from heaps of data
-- it's predictive, but semi-random, incomplete.
Relativity is predictive And fully complete, sans randomness.

P.S. I can't believe anyone would ask Sam Wormley a question.


Why not? He can look up answers in Wikipedia faster than anyone!

Double-A


And what does one do when The Answer isn't in the
Wiki? or anyplace else? What does one do when, so
far, there *is* no answer to the question?

From my limited experience, it seems that most of
the people on UseNet fade into the Sunset, while the
true thinkers stick around and try to work things out.

happy holidays and...
starry starry nights!
