I don't even try explaining it to them, because I know they will just

I don't think that they're pretending.

And what gives Phineas *and* Art Deco away as
just as much a novice at science as i am, is that
they so easily fall into the "analogy" trap. The
fact that space "curves" as explained by Einstein
and the theory of relativity is no more an analogy
than the space "flowing" into a black hole, or into
*any* mass for that matter.

Light *cannot* be accelerated. The velocity of a
given ray of light cannot be changed. This means
not only the speed cannot be changed, but also
that the light beam *cannot* be bent. If the light
beam is bent, then it undergoes an acceleration,
and this just *cannot happen*!

So how does science explain why the light from a
star can be "bent", studied and measured during a
solar eclipse? They have no idea. All they say is
the same thing Zinni would say, "The light does
not really bend and undergo an acceleration. The
space near the Sun is *curved*, and the straight
ray of light from the "nearby" star isn't really bent,
it just follows the curving of space near the Sun."

Space bends, it curves, and that's why the straight
beam of light from the star *appears* to bend and
curve. No analogy here. Space really and truly
curves just as Einstein predicted.

And this is what leaves me mystified! That very
smart, very well-trained men and women called
scientists can explain this to you with a straight
face, and then *still* maintain that space is nothing,
nothing but a void, a mere container for everything
else, matter and energy.

No analogy to the geometry of relativity. It's very,
very *real*. Space really does curve and bend. So,
i mean seriously, truly and really...

Precisely WTF is curving and bending?

Has to be the SPED, *has* to be.

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

But the difference between me and thee is I have given you the detailed
picture behind it with a derivation - The Lagrangian from the metric.
You do know what the Lagrangian is right



Light *cannot* be accelerated. The velocity of a
given ray of light cannot be changed. This means
not only the speed cannot be changed, but also
that the light beam *cannot* be bent. If the light
beam is bent, then it undergoes an acceleration,
and this just *cannot happen*!


Nonsense. You fail to utterly understand the issue. Light can change
speed - CERENKOV radiation. What CANNOT happen is c_local medium
c_vacuum


So how does science explain why the light from a
star can be "bent", studied and measured during a
solar eclipse? They have no idea. All they say is
the same thing Zinni would say, "The light does
not really bend and undergo an acceleration. The
space near the Sun is *curved*, and the straight
ray of light from the "nearby" star isn't really bent,
it just follows the curving of space near the Sun."


Yep - the Lagrangian


Space bends, it curves, and that's why the straight
beam of light from the star *appears* to bend and
curve. No analogy here. Space really and truly
curves just as Einstein predicted.


Local conditions change near a mass from the metric


And this is what leaves me mystified! That very
smart, very well-trained men and women called
scientists can explain this to you with a straight
face, and then *still* maintain that space is nothing,
nothing but a void, a mere container for everything
else, matter and energy.

very *real*. Space really does curve and bend. So,

Precisely WTF is curving and bending?

Has to be the SPED, *has* to be.



Thats the weakest argument you've come up wih yet. And you've had some
WEAK arguments.

Well, as was stated too many times to count, *precisely* what is
"curving/bending" is this: The *acceleration-rate* of any flow of the
SPED is what "bends". If there's no acceleration component
(irrespective of actual velocity of a flow), there is no "curvature",
no gravity. "Curvature" is GR's "accelerometer reading" of flowing
space.

This exchange occured in another thread:

What energy source circulates the fluid throughout the entire universe?


This question I've answered to the best of my ability. It's a huge engine,
whatever it may be.


The question can be asked, "What energy source, what 'engine' powered
the Big Bang?" And under the CBB model, "What energy source, what
'Engine' drives the *continuously running* BB?"

Moreover, what energy source powers the _process_ that is the hydrogen
atom and its proton nucleus (and by extension, *all* atoms and their
nuclei)?

Clearly, a fluidic medium whose perceived "void-ness" places its
'granularity' below the Planck threshold, is under a state of
pressurization exceeding degeneracy pressure of the atomic nucleus.
And in the process of *venting down* to the lowest pressure state,
generates the symphony of ordered eddies, whorls and vortices that
comprize atomic structure and the subnuclear realm. And herein lies
unification of gravity and the SNF in the Unified Field of Spatial
Flows.

A 'supra-cosmic overpressure' (or SCO) powering not only the 'Engine'
of the CBB but all the fundamental forces is clearly evident. The
"supra" in supra-cosmic indicates its source to be 'beyond the cosmos'
and unknowable.. which the CBB model readily accedes. It's taken
simply as a given.

Of course this'll raise an uproar (upshriek?)
with the usual contingent. And they'll scream bloody murder about the
'singularity' issue. But what the hell. Let 'em put forth a better
explanation for the cause of gravity than *accelerating flows of the
spatial medium, driven by pressure gradients therein*. If there's a
better explanation, by all means fill in the
blank_______________ .

And the metric - which outlines the INFLUENCE that mass has on the
surrounding spacetime, delineates the LAGRANGIAN which gives you the
equations of motion for a FREE particle....

You are determined to ignore this fact....

BB != GR

Process? You are deluded.

Flows.



Then define 'c' in terms of P,D,T - it should be simple enough


Explain asymptotic freedom and colour confinement then


A 'supra-cosmic overpressure' (or SCO) powering not only the 'Engine'
of the CBB but all the fundamental forces is clearly evident. The
"supra" in supra-cosmic indicates its source to be 'beyond the cosmos'
and unknowable.. which the CBB model readily accedes. It's taken

By "clearly evident" you seem to mean "lacking any evidence and refuted
by physical phenomena"


Of course this'll raise an uproar (upshriek?)

This 'supra-cosmic overpressure' (or SCO), in addition to driving all
nuclear processes, powers the 'Engine' of the CBB as well. The "supra"
in 'supra-cosmic' identifies its source as from 'beyond the cosmos'
and unknowable.. which the CBB model readily accedes and acknowledges.
This is simply taken as a given.g All of existance, all that is, is
reducible to One Flow driven by One force, the SCO.
