----- Original Message ----- From: "Darla" Newsgroups: alt.astronomy Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2004 6:56 PM Subject: 'Darla' agrees. Ho ho ho (Was 'What if'...) "Greysky" wrote in message om... Well, 'appearances' can be decieving. At the least, a riddle: What looks FTL, gets you to where you want to go FTL, but doesn't invalidate relativity? It's been my contention for some time now that the universe will break every rule we know, violate every directive, ridicule every law, just so it can keep in touch with itself. Of course, if it appears to be a rule breaker, it is only because we aren't aware of every rule there is, or just aren't wrapping the ol' grey matter around the concept the right way, to see the to problem for the solution it contains. Einstein was a good old duffer, but I hope his rules don't make it too hard for us to become galatic tourists. On the same note, mind me asking in all your millenia as an explorer, have you not found a better way to go FTL than hitching a ride on an exotic matter plasma jet? It seems... rather limiting in that you can only go where the jet goes, if I am reading things correctly. I would rather have a self powered starship that has a self contained FTL propulsion source - a star drive - so you can experience dynamical FTL propulsion. Using your current method, there must be many places you can't get to. Actually, the waiting periods are short, and the streams get us to where we are going every time. Manipulation of a stream, once you are inside, is possible and quite easy. Other types of drives are needed when traveling within galactic arms, but to get from one arm to another, nothing beats a stream. This is why Balance is so crucial. For when the circle is Broken. In some ways, Nothingness seems very much akin to Death. It is unknown and therefore tremulously feared. Ah... but it is where the truly interestings happen! Truly, everything comes from nothing :-0 Greysky And how can this Be, Greysky? It is the very assumption that you cannot get something from nothing that breaks your physics down in the first few moments of your Big Bang theory. Your statement goes against your science laws regarding energy being created/destroyed. So how can this be? Darla Yeah, it does seem at first glance to be a bit strange, I admit. But The Universe doesn't seem to care that it is 'breaking the laws of physics' - and it is only an assumption that only nothing comes from nothing. As I earlier said, and as an alien with a starship you of course know this already, if the universe appears to be breaking the rules, it is either because there is a higher order law in operation you know nothing about, or you haven't applied the laws you do know about in a sufficiently creative way to explain what it is you are observing. A nice example that ties in with energy is how virtual / imaginary particles can interact with real particles to produce real work. Now, if an imaginary particle pops into existance and bounces into a real particle before it pops back into nothingness, we can see the real particle move - work is done since a real motion has been observed. I have on occasion used the rather graphical example of someone being hit over the head with an imaginary baseball bat... if afterwards the imaginary particles that make up the substance of the bat disappear -poof!- even though it is imaginary the very smashed skull that was once intact is testament to the very real work the imaginary baseball bat has left behind. This doesn't really make sense from the limiting perspective of energy-energy interactions that define a work function. Imaginary particles should do imaginary work, which we shouldn't be able to see. (This is an 'apparant' violation of the conservation of energy law-remember what I said earlier?) So in a way, nothingness has done some useful work and affected a change in the cosmos. The are only two ways this can be interpreted: A) The universe cannot distinguish between real work and imaginary work, or, B) There is some other, more fundamental 'thing', than energy that can cause work to be done. Of course, this is old stuff to you , but to my people, the fact that energy is not the fundamental mover it has for centuries been thought to be is still unsettling. As you alluded to in your most recent reply in this thread to Bill Sheppard, Einstein's maths have shown us the limits to which 'energy' can take us, and it ain't far. So I suspect, after a bit of a retrenchment, others will also come to the same conclusions as I have and science will once more, march forward. So, which of the above two interpretations do I subscribe to? The answer is......C) Both A and B are true! So what is more fundamental than energy? If you have finished reading my humble web site, you already know what I think But Einstein turns out to be be just as good a prophet as he was a scientist when he said "Nothing Can Go Faster Than Light!" It can. Greysky www.allocations.cc Learn how to build a FTL radio. |

Hi Darla I have a theory of inertia,and out of my theory is the fastest
humans can move through space is at 94% of light speed. Like most of my theories at this spacetime I have only the Cern accelerator to help show my theories are realistic. What do you think? I do use the knowledge the Cern accelerator gives us as the heart of my inertia theory. I always have the interesting thought in back of my mind that Einstien had to say. A spaceship traveling through space at light speed will have no speed left for motion through time. That is very profound. It takes away the passage of time for all objects going at 186,000 mps.

What if astronomers are afraid to theorize inside a blackhole the same
way they will not theorize a condition before the big bang? These to me are relative thoughts. I have no fear to think and theorize about them. I have posted in the past that that inside a blackhole there are no moving parts I have posted in the past what conditions were present to create the big bang. Inside a blackhole there can be no energy(no motion) When photons pass through the event horizon they lose all their energy.(motion).that is another reason they can't escape(no 186,000 mps) Electrons inside a blackhole do not spin anymore. Quarks,and gluons fuse together so strongly that they take up almost infinite tiny space,but they do hold the event horizon from crushing into the singularity,until gravity in time over comes this last remaining force. That is the last phase,and in the end the blackhole becomes massless. It has no event horizon Has lost its positive charge It has lost its spin. It now is only a thought in my mind that ties in with "What was there before the big bang." Big bang,and blackholes are two sides to the same coin. They are equivelent in so many ways Bert |

From 'Darla'-
How many hundreds (thousands?) of years did your Ptolemy's math "proving" geocentrism limit the imaginations of science? And now you have Einstein's. Heresy! There's nothing wrong with Einstein's math. With the possible exception of that sidebar dealing with polarization of GWsg. the correctness of his math has been proven over and over again. What is "limiting the imaginations of science" is the religious adherance to the 'no medium' premise (or VSP) and the unwillingness to even consider a super energy-dense domain below the Planck scale as the Primary Reality underlying the material universe. Perfectly good math, applied by the best minds but rooted in the VSP, is "limiting the imaginations of science". It muddles the distinction between gravity and "gravity waves" as well as the distinction between EM and GW radiation. And unification of gravity under the VSP will forever amount to chasing the rainbow. Old labrat (oc) |

This is only to say that human usage of math does not always take into account the limitations of math. SO, it would not be totally incorrect to say that Wolter's ideas are not completely supported by math that is already in place via Einstein's theories? You have previously indicated that this is the case. It would now appear that you have changed your mind, and that more math is needed to support these interesting ideas? Darla |

Hi Darla As you know we live in an organic universe.,and it is only
fitting the universe would evolve intelligent life so it can see itself. Darla it is like walking along a beach and looking at the vast ocean,and knowing we came out of it. There has to be a very thin line between organic life,and inorganic life. Both have molecules. Seems the carbon atom is the key,for it unites with Hydrogen Bert |

From 'Darla':
SO, it would not be totally incorrect to say that Wolter's ideas are not completely supported by math that is already in place via Einstein's theories? You have previously indicated that this is the case. Specifically, the math in question concerns his 'c-dilation' curve, and its juxtaposition with the time dilation curve in special relativity. In the graph shown here, the curve remains fairly flat out to 70-80 precent of c, then begins an ever-steepening climb up to c. Now if you turn the graph end-for-end, the *density curve* of the spatial medium remains fairly flat out to 70-80 percent the distance to the BB, then begins an ever-accelerating climb back to the instant of emergence from the BB. www.physics.nus.edu.sg/~phyteoe/gateway/dilation Wolter deemed this the natural extension of SR, for which all the math is already in place. His expanded model replaces the "void" with the medium (or SPED/VED) and its cosmological density gradient. In his flowing-space model of gravity, the "curvature of space" in general relativity describes the acceleration-rate of inflow into a gravitating mass. And all the math is already in place, courtesy of that wry old elf, Uncle A. The flowing-space model explains the *literal* mechanism of gravity that the "curvature" abstractly described. So the flowing-space model is the natural extension of GR (under Wolter's model). It would now appear that you have changed your mind, and that more math is needed... ? No, no more needed. What brought this up is Mr. Zinni's citing the polarization of GWs. In this sidebar of GR, the mis-named "gravitational waves" are deemed to be transverse rather than longitudinal, so the 'metric' was required to conform to the premise. This sidebar is not a core issue of GR. oc |

In this sidebar of GR, the mis-named "gravitational waves" are deemed to be transverse rather than longitudinal, so the 'metric' was required to conform to the premise. Once again ... This argument simply does not hold water. If, as you say, there is a bias toward finding no stretch-shrink effect in the z direction (assuming propagation on the z-axis) simply because there is no ether, then that argument would apply equally as well in the x and y directions, and yet there is a predicted effect in these directions. No, the reason GR predicts no effect in the z direction is because it is not supported by the mathematics of the model. This sidebar is not a core issue of GR. oc The predictions of the mathematical model of GR are indeed the core issue. |

Hey John,
On the issue of polarization of GWs, can you think of any reason why a sound wave should be anything other than longitudinal? Again, the 'no medium' premise dictates against an analogy with sound, mandating a 'metric' forbidding longitudinal propagation. Once the reality of the medium is accepted, it dont't take no steenkin' math or convoluted 'metric' to deduce the nature of GWs as _spatial acoustic pressure waves_ exactly analogous to sound, but propagating at c, and a GW antenna as a specialized acoustic microphone to detect those _longitudinal_ waves. Since they are expected to overlap the human auditory range, they would be "hearable" directly, without downconversion as in radio. oc |
