Flowing Space 101 -- A Yes-brainer
Flowing Space 101
Many of the people who believe that space is energy that flows often say what a "no-brainer" the idea is. To them, it is *obvious* that there can be no other explanation for gravity. Space flows into matter and carries other matter along with it, and this is what produces the weight figure we see when we step onto a bathroom scale. These people find it hard to understand why science does not fully embrace their flowing-space theory or model. And they sometimes become very defensive when others point out perceived flaws in their model. For me, the word "no-brainer" is an instant reason to become suspicious. After all, isn't it a no-brainer that the Sun goes around the Earth? Tell a child for the first time that the Earth goes around the Sun and see what happens. Now we grownups accept that Earth goes around the Sun as a "no-brainer." And yet for thousands and thousands of years, our ancestors believed that everything in the sky went around the Earth--everything in the sky--Moon, Sun, stars, everything. Don't blame Ptolemy. He just brought mathematics to bear on what people had believed for thousands of years. Too bad he was more interested in using math to prove the popular belief rather than to find the truth. Then along came Copernicus who used math to hack away at the old beliefs. But that's another story. Flowing space is a definite "yes-brainer." It's not so obvious to most of the learned men and women of science. To them, the no-brainer is that space is an empty void sometimes occupied by things like matter and energy. Most of today's scientists have adopted the ideas of Albert Einstein as he set down in his general and special theories of relativity. I remember when i was a kid and it first sank in that the Earth revolves around the Sun. This was as bad as finding out there was no Santa Clause! Well, maybe not *that* bad. But at least as bad as finding out that Shirley Temple was older than my mother! Yeah! She made all those films many years before i was even born, and now, she's not a little girl anymore. But, but, i had it all planned out. I would find out where Shirley lived and go there and be with her forever. Shut up, kid. The Earth rotates on its axis and the Sun only *appears* to go around the Earth. Oh my god. Flowing space takes some thought. You have to think about things like entanglement and entrainment. You must wonder about the uncertainty principle, quantum foam, fluctuations and aberrations of radiations. Then there's the math. Math may be unimportant to some people. But it's crucial to science and to astronomy in particular. You will convince nobody about your flowing-space model/theory until you can produce the math which they can duplicate and verify. It's your choice. You can big-bang your head against the wall or you can... do the math. Does your head hurt yet? I hate to say it, but i told you so... Flowing Space 101 is a definite yes-brainer! So don those Thinking Caps and keep a bottle of your favorite otc pain relievers handy... just in case. happy days and... starry starry nights! Paine ( tbc ) |
