Errrrr.... pardon moi, EL, but I believe the poster was
asking how come, if (Maxwell's equations) EM waves can
propagate without a medium, how come other waves can't.
It's not as simple as just merely saying that no wave
can propagate through a vacuum.
START QUOTE
In a nut-shell (no pun intended)...
Maxwell's theory is a theory of waves
in a continuous (i.e., infinitely divisible)
medium. The energy of the waves is also infinitely
divisible so that an indefinitely small amount
can be emitted or absorbed by matter. Classical
physical theories of the 19th century had predicted
that in such a system the energy in equilibrium
would be distributed so as to give an equal amount
to each mode (frequency) of vibration. Because
a continuous medium has an infinite number of modes
of vibration, and the atoms (which constitute matter)
have only a finite number, all the energy of the
universe would be transformed into waves of high
frequency. Maxwell understood this difficulty, which
was later most clearly stated in the Rayleigh-Jeans law
(after two English physicists, Lord Rayleigh and
Sir James Hopwood Jeans) of the radiation of a
blackbody (a body in which the intake and output
of energy are in equilibrium). The German physicist
Max Planck demonstrated that it is necessary to
postulate that radiant-heat energy is emitted only
in finite amounts, which are now called quanta.
At first, it was hoped to retain, without modification,
the theory of light as electromagnetic waves in free
space and to use the quantum concept only in relation
to the interaction between radiation and matter.
In 1905, however, Einstein showed that, in the
photoelectric effect, light behaves as if all the
energy were concentrated in quanta--i.e., particles
of energy now called photons. In the same year,
Einstein published the theory of relativity, which
modified the whole of physics and gave a special role
to the velocity constant c. Because light, in some
situations, behaves like waves and, in others, like
particles, it is necessary to have a theory that
predicts when and to what extent each kind of
behaviour is manifested. The main development of
the quantum mechanics, which does precisely this,
took place between 1925 and 1935.
Light from ordinary sources is emitted by atoms
the phases of which are not correlated with one
another, so that there is a random irregularity
or incoherence between the waves emitted from
different atoms. This places severe restrictions
on the conditions under which the periodicity
associated with wave theory can be observed.
In England, Lord Rayleigh appreciated this effect
and knew that, by the use of pinholes or slits and
light of a narrow range of wavelength, effectively
coherent light could be produced. For a long time,
interest in this topic lapsed. About 1935 Frits
Zernike, a Dutch physicist, and others extended
the theory of coherence to include the concept of
partial coherence. This appeared to be of practical
importance only in a few rather special applications
(e.g., in the Michelson stellar interferometer). [It is
difficult to estimate the accuracy of Michelson's 1927
and 1935 experiments, and it is no longer important
to do so in view of the more accurate measurements
made since 1945. His most important contribution to
the measurement of the velocity was the proof that
the velocity agreed with Maxwell's prediction to
better than one part in a thousand. This gave
confidence to those working on applications of the
electromagnetic theory.] A theory of stimulated
emission, attributable to the work of Einstein
and an English physicist, Paul A.M. Dirac, postulated
that under certain conditions atoms could be made to
radiate in phase so that highly coherent radiation
could be maintained indefinitely. The practical
realization of these conditions, previously thought
to be impossible, was achieved in 1960. A second major
development in the theory of light in this century is
the application of so-called Fourier transform methods
(a mathematical treatment of light waves) to a wide
range of optical problems and, especially, to the
transfer of information in optical systems. Today,
the theory of light has again reached a point at which
all known terrestrial phenomena are included in one
logical theory. The known unsolved problems concern
the transmission of light over the vast distances of
intergalactic space. Here the theory of light impinges
on the science of cosmology.
Historically the theory of electricity and magnetism
developed in the form of a number of empirical laws
each of which was a generalization based on a series
of experiments; e.g., Coulomb's law dealt with the
force between two stationary electric charges.
Maxwell replaced all these laws by a single theory
concisely stated in the form of a set of vector
equations. It has been said that Maxwell's theory is
Maxwell's equations, and indeed it is impossible to do
justice to Maxwell's achievement without use of these
equations. [You may refer to standard texts on
electromagnetic theory for the equations themselves
which are understandable to those who understand them
already, and so not useful here.] However... Electric
and magnetic fields are specified by means of the
vectors E and H with which are associated the
vectors D, B, and J (electric and magnetic induction
and density of electric current). Maxwell's equations
fall into two groups: (1) three constitutive equations
and (2) four field equations. All material bodies
contain electrons. These are negative charges circulating
around heavier nuclei that are positively charged. When
an electric field is applied to a material body, the
average positions of the negative charges relative to
the positions of the positive charges are changed.
This creates an internal electric field. Similarly
the action of a magnetic field on a material changes
the movement of the electrons and sets up an internal
magnetic field. The constitutive equations state that
effects within a material body are proportional to
the applied fields so that the resultant fields within
the body are proportional to the applied field. Certain
constants are defined: is the dielectric constant, is
the magnetic permeability, and is the electrical
conductivity. There is no general agreement, however,
concerning these constants, and therefore some
authorities use a different nomenclature.
The first of the four field equations quantifies certain
properties of the electric induction at the boundary of
a volume that contains a net positive or negative charge.
The second states that, since there are no free magnetic
poles, a certain integral of magnetic quantities is zero.
The third equation states that, when the magnetic flux
through a surface changes, electrical voltages appear on
the boundaries of the surface.
The fourth states that electrical currents in conducting
materials and changes of the electric induction in
nonconducting materials produce magnetic effects.
[When Maxwell's equations are combined, using standard
mathematical methods, a new equation is obtained. It
predicts the existence of electromagnetic waves, with
well-defined properties which says that in free space
(vacuo) electromagnetic waves are propagated with a phase
velocity c. Plane waves are propagated without attenuation.
Spherical waves have an amplitude inversely proportional
to the distance from a small source.]
The field equations (like the constitutive equations)
are linear equations: they state that certain quantities
are proportional to one another; e.g., the third equation
states that the electrical voltages are directly proportional
to the rate of change of magnetic flux. In Maxwell's
equations, electricity and magnetism are two aspects of
one thing called electromagnetism. Maxwell's theory can
indeed be stated in a way that does not mention electricity
and magnetism separately. The three constitutive equations
and the first three of the field equations are precise
formulations of known empirical laws.
In the fourth field equation Maxwell introduced a new
hypothesis--that an electrical change in a nonconductor
produces magnetic effects. This hypothesis--which can be
verified by electrical experiments--leads to the theory of
electromagnetic waves capable of being propagated through
a vacuum.

As you can see... "waves through a vacuum" is a very
special interpretation of electromagnetism. While
conventionally waves require a medium to propagate
(and this led to Einstein's description of light
traveling through a vacuum NOT as a wave but as a
quantum particle, which is our dearly beloved photon).
Thank you, Einstein, for getting rid once & for all
of that goofy 19th Century delusion... the Ether!
Too bad Einstein simply replaced one myth with another
myth (namely, the delusion that Time AND space have
pertinent/critical existence... while the truth is
that Time only exists in our minds, and Space is only
the absence of anything existing there--But one can't
have everything, so I give thanks for all Einstein
gave us and ignore the usual human prejudices inherent
to the age one inhabits).

There is but one force in the universe
and that is Gravity; the only thing that
exists in the universe is motion, and that
is energy; the only energy that exists
in the universe can only be fundamentally
described as either vectored energy or
as infinite (scalar) mass: Therefore
the only force in the universe is Gravity
(the universe of matter) and, by definition:
the repelling force embodied in the universe
of energy (infinite (scalar) mass).
Gravity is energy (even if you wish
to call energy a force).

Why is there no discernable upper limit to the amplitude of energy that
can be transmitted through "nothing" or vacuum?
The one caveat: no "messenger particles" are allowed. Such "messengers"
are invoked when logic is stymied, and are the modern equivalent of the
deities of ancient priesthoods.
So what does pure logic say to the aforementioned question? "Messenger
particles"? Or, a superdense, pre-existant Matrix underlying the
superficial phenomena of matter/energy?
(This Matrix is not to be confused with the 'ether'. As the
word implies, 'ether' is tenuous and insubstantial in comparison to
matter, making 'ether' the diametric opposite of the Matrix of space. To
this Matrix, the universe of matter/energy is the tenuous and diaphanous
after-thought tagged on.)
The late physicist David Bohm was one of the few
'mainstream' scientists to posit such a concept. He saw the phenomenal
density of space itself as primal to all else - and the Newtonian
universe as a great hologram within it. Dr. Karl Pribram, a Stanford
neurophysiologist, was a corroborator with Bohm on the holographic
nature of reality.
Two websites worth checking out on Bohm and Pribram are -

That is only a mental paradox (semantically

in the mind). "Get yourself together, man!"
is simply a common expression (one never
experiences the necessity to combine with
none other). Besides, as I have been trying

What is a force? What is gravity? SEE:
http://www.geocities.com/absoluterelativity/ar-11.htm
Energy is motion, motion does/is work. (There:
isn't that much simpler to understand/visualize.)
Gravity is energy, energy is the force of motion.
The conservation of energy IS the conservation of
motion: A large, slow motion = a small, fast motion.
Individual motions in the universe neither come into
existence or cease to exist... rather, they transfer
their energy to other motions to slow down (Newton)
and acquire energy from other motions to speed up.
(There, now you understand the universe, and you
didn't even have to be an understanding person.)

Bill, because of the skin effect of voltage differential.
Thermal differential is the matrix's instantaneous self messenger. The
ether is internally bipolar in neutral conformity to an uniform
homogenous physical frequency reality. The rest are localized
dimensional states of curved distortions, and relative, as Dr. Einstein
predicted. The thermal coefficient is the tensor that acts as the
elastic conduct for upper or lower limit of degree of reflection of
variant kinetic motion. The Master frequency of totality of potential
uniform neutral force itself invariant but at once reducible into
multiple sub octaves of point or wave like dynamic singularity, of
attractive or repulsive higher or lower resonance's and pitch. As
nonuniform motion or velocity changes + or - , so does the voltaic
differential and hence its thermal state. All electric charge therefore
seeks body of most uniform motion, non resistance, or ground state.

Although it IS quite possible that scientists
may yet find some rationalization or other to
disreguard the evidence of the reh-shifts...
the fact will always remain that the galaxies ARE
receding from each other as Hubble first described
them:
Dogma may be forced upon some men, but
science will ultimately always
reassert the freedom of all men.

I'm afraid this is a common misconception with
regards to this particular case: Gravity NEVER
weakens or strengthens but, like a beam of light,
becomes dispersed (thinned out) by distance AND
by another source's gravity running counter to it:
When you go ten miles up from the surface
of the earth... the beam's concentration
becomes dispersed (thinned) into more distance
the farther up you go. So that, in the beam analogy,
the light shining on you will grow dimmer.
But when you go ten miles down in the planet
the concentration ALSO becomes dispersed, this
time by the gravitational effect of all the mass
around you and above you (it is as if the photons
of one beam of light were canceled out and neutralized
by the photons of another intersecting beam of light
with the net result being the same as before... there
are less photons available to you and therefore it all
gets just as dim as if there were only one beam of
light and you were traveling away from it):
Gravity itself can cancel out gravity just as
effectively as distance so that as you go
down farther and farther into the planet you
will weigh less and less (without being crushed
as if between two massive bodies, assuming you're
descending via some astonishingly hardened shaft)
until at the center of the planet you will "experience"
no effect of gravity at all (and you'll be able to
float down there as you would in outer space... provided
there's a great big room there for you to do it in).
This misconception plays a funny role in movies
such as, "Voyage To The Center of The Earth"
where at that "center" they find an ocean very
coolly lying on its bed while the voyagers' rings
and even gold teeth are "sucked upwards."

rather known stuff.First I like the word gravitation better.I like the
definition of a force as what makes things move. The gravitational
force acts between any two pieces of matter and tries to bring them
together.(good so far?) That takes in every particle in the universe.It
seems that gravitational attraction is an inherent property of matter
itself.The big question is WHY? It is in my
thinking that "mutual attraction" is much better than a one-way
attraction. Einstein said if the earth came up to the
apple it could answer some questions.It does not because of its superior
mass. An objects mass is the amount of
stuff it contains,Here on earth we measure mass by seeing how strongly
the earth's gravity can pull it down on a scale.The amount of pull is
the objects weight.The scale needs some thought,for it is measuring the
amount of mutual attraction between the earth and the object.
SRD if you get on a scale do not blame it on the earth's gravity getting
stronger,its because you eat to much turkey. Well you could blame it on
moving closer to the earth's poles. Well to sum up
all these facts is nice but it does not answer WHY the particle
attraction. I have my theories on this,but I use another group that is
for new theories to air them. Herb

But you seem to have screwed it up anyway. There is no motion in chemical
potential energy. The fact that there definitely is stored chemical energy
is evident every time you switch on a flashlight/torch.

Your concept of energy needs to be expanded to include stored energy that
has no motion associated with it, like that snow shelf that could be
triggered by a sharp noise into collapsing into an avalanche.

force can create a gravity effect. It also is best to say the astronauts
are operating in micro gravity and nor zero gravity,for there is no such
thing as zero gravity. Let me add that centripetal force is not exempt
from gravity.Gravity makes the universe a unit and as a unit,avery
particle feel the attraction.This has been proven in a few ways.

Existence itself, whether called energy or motion,
is all there is to the universe (potential energy in
the form of the universe of energy, work in the form
of the universe of matter). However, there being
such dearth of even the most basis knowledge about
the nature/definition of the term "energy" that here
follow a few very brief, but very pertinent quotes
on the matter (intended to highlight why/how energy
is motion/motion is energy). Period.
START QUOTE
1) Energy may exist in potential, kinetic, thermal,
electrical, chemical, nuclear, or other various forms.
There are, moreover, heat and work--i.e., energy in
the process of transfer from one body to another.
After it has been transferred, energy is always
designated according to its nature. Hence, heat
transferred may become thermal energy, while work done
may manifest itself in the form of mechanical energy.
All forms of energy are associated with motion. [For
example, any given body has kinetic energy if it is
in motion. A tensioned device such as a bow or spring,
though at rest, has the potential for creating motion;
it contains potential energy because of its configuration.
Similarly, nuclear energy is potential energy because it
results from the configuration of subatomic particles
in the nucleus of an atom. Energy can be converted from
one form to another in various ways. Usable mechanical
or electrical energy is, for instance, produced by many
kinds of devices, including fuel-burning heat engines,
generators, batteries, fuel cells, and magnetohydrodynamic
systems.] "Interparticle forces not only affect the
chemical and physical behaviour of substances, they
also determine to a large extent how a particle will
RESPOND to the APPROACH of a different particle. If
the two particles REACT with each other to FORM new
particles, a chemical reaction has occurred."
2) The energy of a body represents its ability to do
work, and work itself is a force acting over a distance:
Chemical systems can have both kinetic energy (energy
of motion) and potential energy (stored energy). The
kinetic energy possessed by any collection of molecules
in a solid, liquid, or gas is known as its thermal energy.
The temperature at which all molecular motion comes to
a halt is known as absolute zero. Work, in physics,
is the measure of energy transfer that occurs when
an object is moved over a distance by an external force
at least part of which is applied in the direction of
the displacement. If the force is constant, work may be
computed by multiplying the length of the path by
the component of the force acting along the path. Work
done on a body is accomplished not only by a
displacement of the body as a whole from one place
to another but also, for example, by compressing a gas,
by rotating a shaft, and even by causing invisible
motions of the particles within a body by an external
magnetic force. Work done on a body is equal to the
increase in the energy of the body, for work transfers
energy to the body. If, however, the applied force is
opposite to the motion of the object, the work is
considered to be negative, implying that energy is
taken from the object.
3) Potential energy is stored energy that depends upon
the relative position of various parts of a system. A
spring has more potential energy when it is compressed
or stretched. A steel ball has more potential energy
raised above the ground than it has after falling to
the Earth. In the raised position it is capable of
doing more work. Potential energy is a property of a
system and not of an individual body or particle; the
system composed of the Earth and the raised ball, for
example, has more potential energy as the two are farther
separated. Potential energy arises in systems with parts
that exert forces on each other of a magnitude dependent
on the configuration, or relative position, of the parts.
In the case of the Earth-ball system, the force of gravity
between the two depends only on the distance separating
them. The work done in separating them farther, or in
raising the ball, transfers additional energy to the
system, where it is stored as gravitational potential
energy. [Potential energy also includes other forms: The
energy stored between the plates of a charged capacitor
is electrical potential energy. What is commonly known
as chemical energy, the capacity of a substance to do work
or to evolve heat by undergoing a change of composition,
may be regarded as potential energy resulting from the
mutual forces among its molecules and atoms. Nuclear
energy is also a form of potential energy.] The potential
energy of a system of particles depends only on their
initial and final configurations; it is independent of
the path the particles travel. In the case of the steel
ball and the earth, if the initial position of the ball
is ground level and the final position is ten feet above
the ground, the potential energy is the same, no matter
how or by what route the ball was raised. The value of
potential energy is arbitrary and relative to the choice
of reference point. In the case given above, the system
would have twice as much potential energy if the initial
position were the bottom of a ten-foot-deep hole.
Gravitational potential energy near the Earth's surface
may be computed by multiplying the weight of an object
by its distance above the reference point. In bound
systems, such as atoms, in which electrons are held by
the electric force of attraction to nuclei, the zero
reference for potential energy is a distance from the
nucleus so great that the electric force is not detectable.
In this case, bound electrons have negative potential
energy, and those just free of the nucleus and at rest
have zero potential energy. Potential energy may be
converted into energy of motion, called kinetic energy,
and in turn to other forms such as electrical energy.
Thus, water behind a dam flows to lower levels through
turbines that turn electric generators, producing
electric energy plus some unusable heat energy resulting
from turbulence and friction. Historically, potential
energy was included with kinetic energy as a form of
mechanical energy so that the total energy in
gravitational systems could be calculated as a constant.
Energy also may be stored in atoms or molecules as
potential energy. When protons/neutrons combine to form
the nucleus of a certain element, the reduction in
potential energy is matched by the production of a huge
quantity of kinetic energy.
[Consider, for instance, the formation of the deuterium
nucleus from one proton and one neutron. The fundamental
mass unit of the chemist is the mole, which represents
the mass, in grams, of 6.02 X 10(23 power) individual
particles, whether they be atoms or molecules. One mole
of protons has a mass of 1.007825 grams and one mole
of neutrons has a mass of 1.008665 grams. By simple
addition the mass of one mole of deuterium atoms
(ignoring the negligible mass of one mole of electrons)
should be 2.016490 grams. The measured mass is 0.00239
gram less than this. The missing mass is known as the
binding energy of the nucleus and represents the mass
equivalent of the energy released by nucleus formation.
By using Einstein's formula for the conversion of mass
to energy (E=MC^2), one can calculate the energy equi-
valent of 0.00239 gram as 2.15 X 10(8 power) kilojoules.
This is approximately 240,000 times greater than the
energy released by the combustion of one mole of methane.
Such studies of the energetics of atom formation &
interconversion are part of a specialty known as nuclear
chemistry. NOTE: The energy released by the combustion
of methane is about 900 kilojoules per mole. Although
much less than the energy released by nuclear reactions,
the energy given off by a chemical process such as
combustion is great enough to be perceived as heat and
light. Energy is released in so-called exothermic
reactions because the chemical bonds in the product
molecules, carbon dioxide and water, are stronger and
stabler than those in the reactant molecules, methane
and oxygen. The chemical potential energy of the system
has decreased, and most of the released energy appears
as heat, while some appears as radiant energy, or light.
The heat produced by such a combustion reaction will
raise the temperature of the surrounding air and, at
constant pressure, increase its volume. This expansion
of air results in work being done. In the cylinder
of an internal-combustion engine, for example, the
combustion of gasoline results in hot gases that expand
against a moving piston. The motion of the piston turns
a crankshaft, which then propels the vehicle. In this
case, chemical potential energy has been converted to
thermal energy, some of which produces useful work. This
process illustrates a statement of the conservation of
energy known as the first law of thermodynamics. This
law states that, for an exothermic reaction, the energy
released by the chemical system is equal to the heat
gained by the surroundings plus the work performed. By
measuring the heat and work quantities that accompany
chemical reactions, it is possible to ascertain the
energy differences between the reactants and the products
of various reactions. In this manner, the potential
energy stored in a variety of molecules can be determined,
and the energy changes that accompany chemical reactions
can be calculated.]
4) Kinetic energy is that form of energy that an object
or a particle has by reason of its motion. If work, which
transfers energy, is done on an object by applying a net
force, the object speeds up and thereby gains kinetic
energy. Kinetic energy is a property of a moving object
or particle and depends not only on its motion but also
on its mass. The kind of motion may be translation (or
motion along a path from one place to another), rotation
about an axis, vibration, or any combination of motions.
[The total kinetic energy of a body or a system is equal
to the sum of the kinetic energies resulting from each
type of motion.] For a rotating body, the moment of
inertia, I, corresponds to mass, and the angular velocity
(omega), w, corresponds to linear, or translational,
velocity. Accordingly, rotational kinetic energy is equal
to one-half the product of the moment of inertia and
the square of the angular velocity, or 1/2 Iw(2 power).
[In an inelastic collision the sum of internal and
external energies is conserved, but some of the external
energy of bodily motion is irretrievably transformed
into internal random motions. The conservation of energy
is expressed in the macroscopic language of the first law
of thermodynamics--namely, energy is conserved provided
that heat is taken into account. The irreversible nature
of the transfer from external energy of organized motion
to random internal energy is a manifestation of the second
law of thermodynamics. The irreversible degradation of
external energy into random internal energy also explains
the tendency of all systems to come to rest if left to
themselves. If there is a configuration in which the
potential energy is less than for any slightly different
configuration, the system may find stable equilibrium
here because there is no way in which it can lose more
external energy, either potential or kinetic. This is
an example of an extremal principle--that a state of stable
equilibrium is one in which the potential energy is a
minimum with respect to any small changes in configuration.
It may be regarded as a special case of one of the most
fundamental of physical laws, the principle of increase of
entropy, which is a statement of the second law of
thermodynamics in the form of an extremal principle--the
equilibrium state of an isolated physical system is that
in which the entropy takes the maximum possible value.
[Force, in mechanics, is any action that tends to maintain
or alter the position of a body or to distort it. The
concept of force is commonly explained in terms of Newton's
three laws of motion set forth in his Principia Mathematica
(1687). According to Newton's first principle, a body that
is at rest or moving at a uniform rate in a straight line
will remain in that state until some force is applied to
it. The second law says that when an external force acts
on a body, it produces an acceleration (change in velocity)
of the body in the direction of the force. The magnitude
of the acceleration is directly proportional to the
magnitude of the external force and inversely proportional
to the quantity of matter in the body. Newton's third law
states that when one body exerts a force on another body,
the second body exerts an equal force on the first body.
This principle of action and reaction explains why a force
tends to deform a body (i.e., change its shape) whether or
not it causes the body to move. The deformation of a body
can usually be neglected when investigating its motion.]
5) Late in the 18th century, the interrelated work of
Joseph Priestley and Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier led to
the overthrow of the "phlogiston" theory. Lavoisier saw
Priestley's discovery of oxygen in 1774 as the key to
the weight gains known to accompany the burning of sulfur
and phosphorus and the calcination of metals (oxide
formation). In his Traité élémentaire de chimie, he
clearly established that combustion consists of a chemical
combination between oxygen from the atmosphere and
combustible matter. By the end of the century, his ideas
were widely accepted and had been successfully applied
to the more complex processes of respiration and of
photosynthesis. [Reactions in which oxygen was consumed
were classified as oxidations, while those in which
oxygen was lost were termed reductions.] During the 19th
century, the evolving field of electrochemistry led to
a broadened view of oxidation. It was possible, for
instance, to produce the ferric, or iron(III), ion from
the ferrous, or iron(II), ion at the anode (positive
electrode, where electrons are absorbed from solution)
of an electrochemical cell (a device in which chemical
energy is converted to electrical energy). The similarity
of the two processes led to a precursor of the electron-
transfer explanation for redox reactions. After the
discovery of the electron, the conviction that oxidation
and reduction are accomplished through electron loss
and gain became firmly entrenched. Thus, early in the
20th century chemists tended to attribute all redox
reactions to the transfer of electrons. Later work on
chemical bonding, however, demonstrated the incorrectness
of that description. An electronegativity scale (listing
of elements in descending order of their tendency to
attract and hold bonding electrons) provided a firm basis
for the oxidation-state assignments on which oxidation-
reduction definitions have become based. [The very first
approximation of the true nature of combustion was posited
by Lavoisier, who discovered in 1772 that the products of
burned sulfur or phosphorus, in effect their ashes,
outweighed the initial substances, and postulated that
the increased weight was due to their having combined
with air. Interestingly, it was already known that metals
transformed by heat to metallic ash weighed less than
the metallic ash, but the theory was that in certain cases
phlogiston in metals had a negative weight, and upon
escaping during combustion, left the ash of the metal
heavier than it had been with the phlogiston in it. Later,
Lavoisier concluded that the "fixed" air that had combined
with the sulfur was identical to a gas obtained by
Priestley on heating the metallic ash of mercury--that is,
the "ashes" obtained when mercury was burned could be made
to release the gas with which the metal had combined. This
gas was also identical to that described by the Swedish
chemist, Carl Wilhelm Scheele, as an active fraction of air
that sustained combustion. Lavoisier called the gas "oxygen."
[Combustion, with rare exceptions, is a complex chemical
process involving many steps that depend on the properties
of the combustible substance. It is initiated by external
factors such as heat, light, and sparks. The reaction sets
in as the mixture of combustibles attains the ignition
temperature, and several aspects of this step can be defined.
First, a relationship exists between the ignition temperature
and the pressure of the mixture under specific conditions.
Only one temperature corresponds to a given pressure, whereas
one or three pressures, called the explosion limits, may
correspond to one temperature. The mechanism of the reaction
determines the explosion limits: the reaction can proceed
only when the steps in the sequence of reactions occur faster
than the terminal steps. Thus, for combustion to be initiated
with light, or with a spark, the light intensity or the spark
energy must exceed certain minimal values. The complexity of
the combustion reaction mechanism and the rapidly varying
temperatures and concentrations in the mixture make it
difficult and often impossible to derive an equation that
would be useful for predicting combustion phenomena over
wide temperature and concentration ranges. Instead, use is
made of empirical expressions derived for specific reaction
conditions.]
6) Electromagnetism is the science of charge and of the forces
and fields associated with charge. Electricity and magnetism
are two aspects of electromagnetism. Electricity and magnetism
were long thought to be separate forces. It was not until the
19th century that they were finally treated as interrelated
phenomena. In 1905 Albert Einstein's special theory of
relativity established beyond a doubt that both are aspects
of one common phenomenon. At a practical level, however,
electric and magnetic forces behave quite differently and
are described by different equations. [Electric forces are
produced by electric charges either at rest or in motion.
Magnetic forces, on the other hand, are produced only by
moving charges and act solely on charges in motion.
Electric phenomena occur even in neutral matter because
the forces act on the individual charged constituents.
The electric force, in particular, is responsible for most
of the physical and chemical properties of atoms and
molecules. It is enormously strong compared with gravity.
For example, the absence of only one electron out of every
billion molecules in two 70-kilogram (154-pound) persons
standing two metres (two yards) apart would repel them with
a 30,000-ton force. On a more familiar scale, electric
phenomena are responsible for the lightning and thunder
accompanying certain storms. Electric and magnetic forces
can be detected in regions called electric and magnetic
fields. These fields are fundamental in nature and can exist
in space far from the charge or current that generated
them. Remarkably, electric fields can produce magnetic
fields and vice versa, independent of any external charge.
A changing magnetic field produces an electric field, as
the English physicist Michael Faraday discovered in work
that forms the basis of electric power generation.
Conversely, a changing electric field produces a magnetic
field, as the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell
deduced. The mathematical equations formulated by Maxwell
incorporated light and wave phenomena into electro-
magnetism. He showed that electric and magnetic fields
travel together through space as waves of electromagnetic
radiation, with the changing fields mutually sustaining
each other. Examples of electromagnetic waves traveling
through space independent of matter are radio and
television waves, microwaves, infrared rays, visible light,
ultraviolet light, X rays, and gamma rays. All of these
waves travel at the same speed--namely, the velocity of
light (roughly 300,000 kilometres, or 186,000 miles,
per second). They differ from each other only in the
frequency at which their electric and magnetic fields
oscillate. Maxwell's equations still provide a complete
and elegant description of electromagnetism down to,
but not including, the subatomic scale. The interpretation
of his work, however, was broadened in the 20th century.
Einstein's special relativity theory merged electric and
magnetic fields into one common field and limited the
velocity of all matter to the velocity of electromagnetic
radiation. During the late 1960s, physicists discovered
that other forces in nature have fields with a mathematical
structure similar to that of the electromagnetic field.
These other forces are the nuclear force, responsible for
the energy released in nuclear fusion, and the weak force,
observed in the radioactive decay of unstable atomic nuclei.
In particular, the weak and electromagnetic forces have
been combined into a common force called the electroweak
force.] Two English scientists, William Nicholson and
Anthony Carlisle, used a chemical battery to discover
electrolysis (the process in which an electric current
produces a chemical reaction) and initiate the science of
electrochemistry. In their experiment the two employed
a voltaic pile to liberate hydrogen and oxygen from water.
They attached each end of the pile to brass wires and
placed the opposite ends of the wires into salt water.
The salt made the water a conductor. Hydrogen gas
accumulated at the end of one wire; the end of the other
wire was oxidized. Nicholson and Carlisle discovered
that the amount of hydrogen and oxygen set free by the
current was proportional to the amount of current used.
By 1809 the English chemist Humphry Davy had used a
stronger battery to free for the first time several very
active metals--sodium, potassium, calcium, strontium,
barium, and magnesium--from their liquid compounds.
Faraday, who was Davy's assistant at the time, studied
electrolysis quantitatively and showed that the amount
of energy needed to separate a gram of a substance from
its compound is closely related to the atomic weight
of the substance. Electrolysis became a method of
measuring electric current; and the quantity of charge
that releases a gram atomic weight of a simple element
is now called a faraday in his honour. Once scientists
were able to produce currents with a battery, they could
study the flow of electricity quantitatively. Because of
the battery, the German physicist Georg Simon Ohm was able
experimentally in 1827 to quantify precisely a problem that
Cavendish could only investigate qualitatively some 50
years earlier--namely, the ability of a material to
conduct electricity. The result of this work--Ohm's law--
explains how the resistance to the flow of charge depends
on the type of conductor and on its length and diameter.
According to Ohm's formulation, the current flow through
a conductor is directly proportional to the potential
difference, or voltage, and inversely proportional to
the resistance--that is, i = V/R. Thus, doubling the
length of an electric wire doubles its resistance, while
doubling the cross-sectional area of the wire reduces the
resistance by a half. Ohm's law is probably the most
widely used equation in electric design.

Read carefully above: In a simple analogy... The potential
energy stored in a battery is in the form of "unbalanced"
negatively-charged atoms, which, given the chance to
"balance out" (against/with) other positively-charged atoms
... establishing a "flow" (exchange) of electrons.

Precisely: That snow shelf is entirely made of
matter with a definite mass (if it's just a couple
of flakes its WORK will be very slight, and if it's
a couple of thousand tons... watch out, because
it will WORK wonders downhill)... BUT all matter
(whose mass has "weight" or "inertia") is at its
most fundamental... nothing but motion (or energy,
as in "E=MC^2"), OR atoms cannot be split, my friend.

Actually, what you wish to know is what the
difference is between standing 10 feet from
the earth and standing exactly between two
earth planets which have my magic come to rest
twenty feet from each other.... And the answer is:
In the first case you would slam into the
single earth and break your collarbone.
While in the second case you would be
completely weightless (provided you could,
by magic, I imagine... manage to "float"
precisely at the POINT where the two planets'
gravity cancel out each other). Which is
really no different than what would happen
if you could, by magic again, reach the exact
gravitational center of the planet: You'd
find gravity canceled out and you'd float
at The Center of The Earth!!!

Of a transverse or longitudinal wave? Einstein
swore that waves couldn't travel through a vacuum
and that the photon is a quantum particle. And
a wave of electric and magnetic fields propagating
at the speed of light c through empty space [electric
and magnetic fields are always perpendicular to each
another and at right angles to the direction of
propagation] still do NOT equate to a wave propagating
through vacuum: Electromagnetic radiation in vacuum
yet obeys Einstein's quantum authority. Basically
there is no limit to the number of photons you can
pitch across a vacuum (practically).

Bill, there is NO Aether. Period. What Einstein
accomplished was to PROVE that no Aether was EVER
needed: The idea of an "ether" was proposed ONLY
as a solution to a nonexistent problem (namely
how can waves propagate without a medium, which
originated with the wave-side theory of light).
That "aethers" are still talked about today is
about as useful as the chatter of all those folks
you hear up in the hills somewhere who are still
convinced that the earth is flat.

If it walks like a duck, Bill: [no pun]
The classical Aether HAD to be absolutely rigid
and absolutely strong (for it to be able to serve
as a medium for ultra-fast waves and ultra-heavy
masses... imagine the slowness with which an ocean
wave travels and the quickness with which a wave
travels through a pipe when you bang on it). You
may call it Matrix, or you may call it, Joe, or
you may call it Mary... but it's all the same.

A solution to a nonexistent problem. The world
of Physics (unfortunately... most especially of
all) is teeming with'em. But fret not: I'm working
on it.

And Einstein proposed his goofy Cosmological
Constant (yet another solution to a nonexistent
problem) for the same reason: Even the most
brilliant minds ever can never resolve a problem
the full scope of which they are unawares...
The reason Einstein proposed the mythological
Cosmological Constant is because he did not know
that the universe is imploding... and the reason
why even now there are people resurrecting Einstein's
"greatest mistake" is because THEY too do not know
the universe is imploding. Once they find out about
the true nature of the universe [ http://web.sdrodrian.com ]
all this goofy talk about Quintessences, funny
energies, and cosmological constants will be as
embarrassing as the idea that the universe orbits
the earth. Only, Bill... please: No more talk about
"ethers," regardless of what you call them.

If red-shift works on the short-run
you will need positive proof that it does NOT
work in the long-run. And, frankly,
to speak of the recession of the galaxies
as merely an assumption is about on par with
speaking of the splitting of the atom as
merely an assumption (and vice versa).

It may simply modify estimates of distance/age.
There are problems with your Zeemen rationalization:
Splitting of special emission lines due to the presence
of a strong magnetic field means you need a constant
such field in every photon or practically every coordinate
of the universe (not to mention the little matter of the
fact that if the galaxies are NOT receding from each
other... the universe is pretty much inexplicable).
Moreover: Lines split into 3 or more polarization
components that are circular if the local magnetic field
is parallel to the line of sight and linear if the magnetic
field is perpendicular to the line of sight means a dizzying
amount of "just right" circumstances that fall outside
probability. (Not to mention the fact that the amount
of splitting needs to be proportional to the strength of
your "omnipresent" magnetic field.)
However: Among the ranks of the Truth-Seekers
it is not always the best thing to only
accept the Truth from your sergeant. So I will
always keep an open mind, no matter what.

So the quintessence of the "photon", then, is reduced to an electric
field and a magnetic field at 90 degrees to each other propafating as a
wave through nothing. Talk about believeing in magic and pixie dust.
What supports an electric field and a magnetic field, pray tell?
Take a look at gravity waves, as yet unsubstantiated but believed by
current theory to exist. Earthbound GW detectors are hampered by
seismic/ tectonic noise and can't yet pull a definitive signal out of
the noise. But now suppose we've got a nice space-based interferometer
GW antenna up, and its free of all that noise. All of a sudden here
comes a beautiful clear-cut signal of 85 hz (cycles per second), and
it's gradually rising in frequency - the signature of a coalescing
binary neutron star, near the point of merging. Wow.
This signal is NOT electromagnetic, yet it propagates at c. Its
frequency happens to fall at the low end of the human auditory range,
and is registering on the interferometer as DIRECT acoustic energy,
taken right out of space. Hmmm. Right out of "nothing".
As with EM radiation, GW radiation should also have no upper
limit on its amplitude as it propagates through "nothing". Perhaps Scott
can tell us how, drawing from current theory.

Not so fast here, Bucko. You're reading something into it that simply
was not implied in the classical ether theories of Aristotle, Hooke, or
Huygens. They envisioned just what the word implies - somethng spiritous
and insubstantial relative to 'real' substance. Although endowed with
"permitivity" and 'permeability', it was still the least substantial
medium in nature - hence "ether". If at any time they had proposed a
Superdense Matrix as the primary reality with matter/ energy tagged on
as insubstantial side-effects, exactly the same problem would have come
up as it did with Wolter - the "conundrum of discreet objects". How can
discreet objects move and interact kinetically while embedded in a
much-denser medium?
Michelson-Morley's famous 1887 experiment disproving the ether was
before the advent of QM, particularly quantum nonlocality, and the
holographic principle. The way Wolter worked it out, drawing on the work
of Bohm-Pribram, I can only paraphrase for brevity, as in the prevous
posts. But then that's 'goofy'. Hhyyup.
There is no superdense Matrix, space is a vast void of
nothingness, and we reside in the Imploding phase of the universe. And
oh yeah.. it's an 'oscillating' universe. And everything's 'shrinking in
place'. Hoop de doo.

My criterion is very simple & straightforward:

If it deals with god/creation/cosmology/nature
it goes into: "bible", "Atheism", "Physics"

If it's nothing but chitchat: "Blabla"
AND if it concerns apologies/romantic advice/or people

That is the most puzzling "indorsement"
I've ever read... of a totally unworkable
proposal: The laws of supply and demand
demand that the supply follow the demands;
so it's obvious that when a dictator, say,
demands his supply... it must be supplied
or his demands will grow so much that no
supplies can ever satisfy them (so you see:
Communism "indorses" the laws of supply
and demand, unlike what the dictionary sez).
In any case, I can only try to make my posts

That final "s" is a telling Freudian slip!
But I do forgive you... Always! I would

Not so fast there, Bucko. You're confusing
together classical physics with classical Greek
philosophy: Anaxagoras's classical "ether,"
for example (that... above the air surrounding
the earth there is a rarefied sort of air,
"alive and divine" and having the nature of
fire), apparently leaving no room for any true
"vacuum" anywhere; and Democritus's more
materialist view that matter was [de facto]
distinguished from non-matter exactly because
there were "spaces" (between atoms), although
to him the ether consisted of "little atoms"
within the "vacuums" (or Heavenly spaces) and
that the "motions" of this polka-dotted ether
"carried" the Heavenly bodies along in their
orbits. [Very little attempt was made, basically
until the seventeenth century, to factor in
a gravitational interpretation of this "space
between atoms."] Aristotle's "fifth element"
is incorruptible, unchanging, and to be found
only "in the region outside the sphere of the
moon... its natural motion being that which is
nearest the perfection of rest." [Here, at least,
ancient philosophy coincides in some aspects
with my own interpretation of the universe... as
a kinf of "black hole" whose imploding/shrinking
"singularity" (that part of it which we know as the
universe of matter) is forever AT MOTION away from/
against the "absolute rest" of the universe of
energy... which corresponds to the complete "black
hole" extending even outside its event horizon.]
Aristotle's plenary ether IS the Heavenly bodies,
planets & moons, and there is no "vacuum" to
"interject" any annoying need for a gravitation
as we know it today. [The conceptualization of
"space" has always been rather problematical.]
Seventeenth Century philosophers, Descartes in
particular (and not unlike a surprisingly large number
of "original theorists" in these newsgroups to this
very day)... believed in a kind of gravitation "towards
the earth" which consisted of a vortical motion around
the earth of the ether (and, by extension, of everything
in the Heavens thought to be embedded in it) creating
a centrifugal outward pressure (away from the earth)...
so that when bodies were left "unsupported" by this
supposed centrifugal pressure (as would be the case with
everything here on earth, falling apples and cathedrals)
... they would naturally fall "down" to earth. [One can
still come across this simplistic notion (extended into
some just as simplistic mathematical mumbo-jumbo, of
course) today, in which gravity is portrayed as some sort
of "space falling" effect--only now portrayed as falling
"down to" every bit of matter and not simply to earth:
The conceptualization of "space" has returned to where
it was before anyone thought they needed any theory of
gravitation! Although I marvel how Descartes described
the importance of absolute rest in reverse... just like
others used to describe the universe as orbiting the earth
instead of the other way around.]
Seventeenth century theoreticians also proposed the ether
as a more down-to-earth medium for the transmission of
magnetism, light, and heat... across "vacuums" (or as they
called it "the void"). Einstein's "original" objection to
an ether was that "technicality of convenience" still used
in physics today... namely, the assumption that "if a
quantity is unmeasurable or unobservable, it is therefore
meaningless to physics & ought not to be made an integral
part of a physical theory." ["If you have no idea what it
is... don't try to guess what it's for." And by the start
of the twentieth century is was obvious that the ether
was entirely beyond the capabilities of "modern" physics.]
Note the Aristotle connection to Einstein here: Einstein
"deprived himself" (literally) of the ability to posit
anything at absolute rest... and this "self-denial" here
however it may have assisted him in developing relativistic
philosophies... prevented him (very effectively shut him
off) from being able to consider that a complete theory
of the universe might have to include not only the very
"observable" universe of matter but the universe of energy
from whence it originated. With the inevitable result that
it was impossible for him (or his contemporaries and later
disciples) to imagine a natural evolution of the universe
of matter, and they instead opted to try to "create" it
"spontaneously" as it were. [The perfect analogy is with
biological evolution: What today's theorist (on the origin
of the universe) are doing is not unlike trying to develop
a theory of evolution by studying the qualities of today's
fully-evolved life-forms and hunting their fossils without
yet having acknowledged that it all evolved from the
chemistry of a few simple animo acids: The interpretation
of a universe arising from four "forces" instead of the one
(simple "gravity," or "energy," or, ultimately: "motion")
is as if evolutionists were trying to trace back horses
and pigs and pigeons NOT to one species from which they
might have all evolved BUT to a primal horse, a primal pig,
and a primal pigeon... every one of which evolved quite
independently from each other in the same environment.]
As I have said before: Things are NEVER as confusing
as the confused MAKE them out to be! The universe of
matter EVOLVED naturally, inevitably from the universe
of energy. Fundamentally... all that exists is motion:
Vector motion in/is the universe of matter and absolute
motion in/is the universe of energy (or, absolute rest,
because while there exist two or more "motions" they
can describe "relative motion" ... but when there exists
only ONE single "motion" in all of existence, it is
impossible to describe that one singular motion as being
either fast or slow, or even "moving" at all). We may
never even be able to propose what that singular motion
which I call the universe of energy and absolute rest
(relative to us) may be "moving" against (for self-evident
reasons), but we CAN say that it embodied all the stored
energy... "some portion" of which it then conferred upon
the universe of matter... and ANY motion relative to
that absolute rest (vector) has no choice but to remain
relativistic not only against absolute rest, but against
every other motion the universe of energy gives birth to
in the crucible of the laws of thermodynamics: that all
those vector motions, collectively, comprise our universe
of matter even unto this day. And so, imagine the stupendous
(potential) magnitude of the universe of energy (to be able
to have given birth (energy) to the universe of matter).
And visualize that "birth" as "the advent of gravity" ...
What must have followed HAD to have been that, immediately,
it precipitated an unstoppable implosion of the universe
of matter (an implosion which will continue imploding NOT
until matter piles up at some central point like a white
dwarf BUT which will continue until matter itself dissolves
its energy pool doing the work of that very implosion... like
a cup of water abandoned to the years' inevitable evaporation
until it has become so dry that it's... as if it had never
held water at all). see: http://web.sdrodrian.com
There will you find why an imploding universe requires
that the speed of light always be measured as a constant
in identical mediums; why an imploding universe demands
that the "observable" recession of the galaxies be found
to be accelerating; and why & how it is that "space"
(whether you call it "the void" or "vacuum") exists
at all... the reason for the red-shifted galaxies). But
no universe that can forever "exist" by means of magic.
And no ether, no Matrix, no Dark Matter, no Cosmological
Constant, or "funny energy" need apply, Bill. (Just as
Rube Goldberg constructs such as the Cosmological Constant
and Dark Matter would, by some magical means, have to be
made to work against each other in some places and with
each other in some other places with great planning and
intelligent execution... an ether, or Matrix Rube Goldberg
construct would demand that you account for the material
effects of its, one must assume, "considerable" gravity
... unless it's all "funny energy" at the Matrix ether.)
As I said, Bill: Fundamental principles:
1) If in order to exist
Existence would have had to have a beginning
it could never have come into existence.
This is no different than saying that everything
evolved, and was not created either by God, or
by The Four Forces over a hand of poker either:
If the universe consists of motion (energy) now
there must have always been energy (motion).
2) Things are NEVER as confusing
as the confused MAKE them out to be.
And this is no different than saying that
you don't even have to know that an apple
comes from an apple tree to know that the guy
who swears to you that it was created by a
Rube Goldberg process of virtual particles
coalescing the "energy of space" to an apple
... has obviously not been eating his daily
ration of apples, and needs a doctor. And it's
not fraud we're talking about here, just... some
poor soul who doesn't know anything AND doesn't
know how to admit it even to himself: Human
nature, really. You can't blame a cat for shedding.
So no sense getting all worked up about it.

universe is expanding 15% faster now than 7 billion years ago.They
figured out that the expansion force is almost twice as great as the
gravitational pull. What is causing this acceleration of expansion
is the big mystery.So lets put our heads together,for a good theory.

One prominent theory as to universal acceleration is that, in the quantum
foam on Planck scales, different areas of space can temporarily have an
increase in energy density. If that energy density is high enough, the
state of that space will change so that it automatically repulses itself.
When this happens over an immense range of space, it looks like the entire
structure is stretching. And as the universe grows larger, more space
exists, further increasing the repulsion, not to mention the fact that the
gravitational force between distant objects has decreased via the inverse
square law.
Ultimately, this might end up causing some interesting results in the
distant future...

BB the space expansion kept the matter and anti-matter particles from
touching.Maybe that is still true today,and our universes only way to go

up at the very moment of the BB space expanded and separated all that
there was to be. Herb PS This does not answer how a vacuum has a

Sorry, Bill: Belief does not come into it.
I have proposed an explanation to the riddles
of cosmology. It's not at all necessary
that I believe my explanation is correct:
The ONLY requirement is that the theory itself
stand up to whatever objections to it may arise.
(And, in fact, no author is ever an objective
arbitor/judge of his own theory... so it's
useless for me to claim I have yet to find any
objections to it myself. Albeit I still claim it
anyway... you know me.) In any case, my role
as its creator is finished. If I now so much as
attempt to place my theory in the best possible
light... I may never know whether others are
being blinded by its brilliance or by the
spotlight I'm shining in their eyes. (By the way,
I made no provisions for the blind... outside
a bit of humor, perhaps. Sorry, Bill.)

That was easy for JC to say because, as
I heard tell of Him, He never was in the
pearl-mongering business. More cold-blooded
businessmen will tell you that it's harder
by far to find people who appreciate the pearls
(of the mind, especially) than it is to find
the pearls (themselves). [Translation: Every
customer is worth his weight in gold... even if
some customers ARE more lightweight than others.]

If there are two sides to the story, Bill,
and but one man holding to one side (while
everybody else holds for the other side)...
I will always add my voice to that one man's
whenever I agree with him. But I cannot
imagine EVER joining a chorus that doesn't
really need my voice. It's just... not me.
You expect me to join in ONLY when I agree
with what everybody agrees with. And it's
a vain expectation. [sic]

course cold-turkey would be the best yet, but you might have to do it in
increments to avoid severe withdrawal reactions (heh heh).
As far a being "creator" of your cosmology, not even Einstein,
Planck, Heisenberg, or Hawking claimed creator-ship of theirs. At best,
they were mere stewards and elucidators of what was already created.
Perhaps the most audacious claim was Hawking's aspiration "to know the
mind of God". But SDR's stated Creator-ship is tacitly claiming to BE
the mind of God.

We came from---?!?! This is gonna be a shock, I know,
but SOMEbody's gotta be the one to tell you... My
friend, hang on to your bloomers, now: We ARE apes!
We have as many hairs as do apes; we have the temperament
of apes; we are as curious and prone to stupid practical
jokes on our fellow apes... as are apes; apes are the only
mammals other than human apes who develop a true culture;
apes (chimps) have engaged in organized warfare against
human farmers in Africa (apes won the battle, lost the war);
and, frankly, I don't know any human ape who wasn't reared
by apes. I grew up in a house of very genmteel, post-Victorian
piano-playing apes, myself: It wasn't the shedding that
bothered me... as much as the petting when I did something well
(their hands were gigantic and it felt like being beaten over
the head with a sack of salt). Practically the only comfort
or joy my siblings and I had at all as children was when they
took us to the park and let us play on the monkey bars... until
we dropped!
>At least, there is much fossil evidence for this
>possibility to make it a probability.
Every time my grandfather used to argue against
our being that closely related to apes, I'd simply
agree with him (he was very free with his money)
... simply adding, "You're probably right, Gramps:
We do seem to share a lot many more traits with
cockroaches than with monkeys." That seemed to
satisfy him. Apparently, it was ANYTHING but apes
for Gramps (which might have had something to do
with the way he'd hoop and "demonstrate" whenever
his team scored--Jikes! (I'm just glad there were
no overhanging bars in our living-room.)

I disagree: Billions of years ago
dinosaurs seemed to have been very professional
printers; but how many lizards are there today
who can even type properly? Hell, today even most
humans can't type worth a hoot... even after
millions of years of human prototypes.
By the way, please note that "intelligence"
(whatever that may be) is as responsive to
"adaptation" as all other traits: Until very
recently it was our common practice to smash
the head of any baby who was not born "perfect"
(it may even be true today in some parts of the
world). [Even wonder why our species suffers from
--really-- so few instances of inherited adverse
mutations?] One of the most important duties
in reproduction is finding the "perfect" mate.
[Translation: Genetic mutations may arise by
"chance" --whatever that may be-- but once they
prove beneficial to survival they will tend to
be irresistibly enhanced until such enhancements
actually become counterproductive and begin
hindering survival: It really is no different
with so-called human "intelligence" ... which
will continue to be enhanced until we become
intelligent enough to destroy ourselves--And
it is just as true even of wisdom... which will
also continue to be enhanced until wisdom itself
becomes sheer self-sacrifice and we actually
embrace extinction most nobly and dignified...
or until the next asteroid hits the earth.] Don't
worry: All signs point against our even achieving
such wisdom (I'm betting on the asteroid). Although
it may be that countless other so-called intelligent
beings may have arisen in the universe only to find
themselves to be their own worst enemies. In any
case... the point is that "intelligence" only
appears (to you) to be an exception to the laws
that govern all biological evolution; and I can
only suggest that the intelligent thing is to
not jump to such conclusions quite so hastily:
It'll all come to an end soon enough.
>In any event, an infinitely
>higher being appears to be

And has appeared to be doing so ever since
the first pre-human put together the fact that
nothing ever got "done" unless he did it himself
WITH the realization that his world appeared to
be teeming with many, many things fully "done"
which he had NOT himself done: OBVIOUSLY SOME-
BODY other than he had done all that... and if
the greatest thing he was capable of doing was
to pitch a rock at his dog... it had to have been
a god who had "done it." But this business of
"the blooming of the flowers in Spring proving
there is a God" ... is totally unacceptable and
inadmissible evidence in most courts of law.

There is but ONE simple and straightforward
distinction between adaptive and non-adaptive
evolution: Adaptive evolution leads to another
chance to survive, while non-adaptive evolution
simply leads to certain death.

There are only 3 dimensions to our
universe (this is a conceit of
convenience, but we all know what
is meant by it). However, the crucial
thing is that only those 3 dimensions
are needed for everything else: That
is the place (the room) into which
our universe can be put. And, ultimately,
that is all that matters.
Concerning time... all you really need to
understand is that the universe of matter is
but ONE SINGLE MOTION away from Absolute
Rest (the universe of energy) and back again.
[Translation: If the only motion that exists
is but only a single ONE, it is impossible to
describe it as either fast, slow, or even as
"moving" at all... and yet it still is MOTION
(relative to its own whatever background utterly
beyond our ken). This is the case with the universe
of energy: It is ONE singular MOTION nearly
impossible to describe in our mortal language.]
But, this much (I hope) you can understand
of it: Because it [the universe of energy, aptly
also describable as Absolute Rest] is ONE motion:
there is nothing we can "time" it by/against. And
by definition that gives us timeless motion (or,
motion without time) as existing prior to all else:
Motion can exist without time while time cannot
exist without motion (not even without at least
two motions, one of which "may" be absolute rest).
It is ONLY when the universe of energy [or,
that primordial "singularity" which is simply
depicted as "infinite (scalar) mass"] gives birth
to the universe of matter [or, to all the vector
sub-motions which gravity coalesces into all the
eternally evolving gravitational systems whose
present-day descendants are the particles described
by the Standard Model]... that it at last becomes
possible/practical for "us" to begin "timing" one
motion by/against some other motion(s). Know this:
the "universe of matter" [which is created by the
manifestation of gravity and therefore immediately
begins to implode] ultimately boils down to only a
jumble of nearly numberless "independent" relative
motions, some speeding up while others are slowing
down, as described by the gravitational laws (of
motion) ably and elegantly described by Isaac Newton.
But, however you cut it: Even if you wish to be a
stickler for absolutely unambiguous definitions
(namely that "time" began the instant the first
primordial motion "separated" from Absolute Rest,
and that therefore "time" existed before there were
brains to "time" motions), this still does in no way
put into question the fact that Time only "exists"
in our brains... because if there is but one motion
in existence it is de facto timeless... and if that
singular motion is composed of an utter chaos of
internal (and therefore ONLY relativistic) motions
... we here inside the universe of matter may "time"
a few of those motions (necessarily against each other)
as much as we wish, but... of what absolute good are
all our "timings" if we are but timing how long it
takes one soap bubble to burst as opposed to how long
it takes other soap bubbles to burst? The universe
does not care about our whatever notions of time,
it only "understands" that its inner motions are all
relative and that there exists nothing inside the
universe which is at absolute rest. [And it's not
even THAT, because relativistic motions are eternally
speeding up/slowing down and there is no way for us
to synchronize two or more motions inside the universe
... without their eventually falling completely out
of synchronization of their own accord: "The world
grows old, the stars devour themselves," the rotation
of the earth is slowing so the day is growing longer,
and we must forever keep adding nanoseconds to our clocks
to most unnaturally (artificially) keep them from utter
meaninglessness not only to the universe, but to us too.]

Who cares? How we know something is

2. We tried to explained to each other
what we heard. (The physicists even played
tic-tac-toe games on the sand about it.)
3. We speculated that if we heard one of'em
there might be more of'em.
4. We talked "the stupid one" among us
into staying behind and, if he heard some more
of'em, to come running after us & tell us.
Result: We never heard from him again! (Apparently

It is the same and ONLY thing, Herb:
The only force required is the force
of gravity. There is NO force repelling
matter in the same place and at the same
time that gravity is ringing it together.
Simple as that, and that elegant.

Herb: Long before researchers stumbled on
the acceleration of the so-called "expansion"
of the universe (1998)... I (and perhaps
others) had already realized that it HAD
to be found to be so... because of GRAVITY
itself (Newton). Such an acceleration
can ONLY happen (and MUST happen) when
a force is continuously applied.
One does not need to resort to Rube
Goldberg schemes to explain why in
a universe governed by gravity... the
galaxies are receding from each other
faster and faster with time!
But one MUST begin by accepting the fact
that the universe IS governed by gravity
ALONE and then try to describe what would
result from that basic premise.
Clue: ALL gravitational systems, top to bottom,
are coming together... the universe is imploding
and all its discreet components are shrinking.
For those who wish to know before it's
in all the papers: http://web.sdrodrian.com
If a universe governed/ruled by gravity
were expanding... all explanations of ANY
acceleration of its expansion would HAVE to
run contrary to logic and sanity (and the
explanations popularly proposed/believed do).
But
if a universe governed/ruled by gravity
were imploding... no explanation of why
that implosion is accelerating would even be
required: It would be self-evident that
an acceleration would be... inevitable.
It's simply a matter of accepting the fact
that Nature's workings are --of necessity--
elegant and straightforward. Were they not
they just wouldn't work, Herb. (Let this be
your mantra, Herb: "Things are NEVER as
confusing as the confused MAKE them out to be.")
We are, in a very real sense, what Carl
Sagan said we were: The mind of the universe
seeking to know itself.

Just as the planets in our solar system are moving farther and
farther from the Sun, if galaxies, clusters and megaclusters
were revolving around a central area (where the so-called Big
Bang took place), then centrifugal force could be great enough
to result in an acceleration of expansion, couldn't it? --

BUZZZZZZ (quoth the Beulah) -- "ALL grav... systems?" How
about the solar system governed in part by the gravitational
pull of Sol? -- yet the planets continue to get farther and
farther away from Sol. Could the galaxy-clusters and perhaps
megaclusters not be revolving around an area central to the
"universe?" (which btw i perceive as "Cosmos," one small part
of the "entire" universe) --
If, just like Sol's planets, the overall force of revolution
of the galaxy clusters is greater than the overall force of
gravity, then expansion remains feasible. Keep in mind that
i am not disagreeing with you. I'm merely pointing out one
way that gravity can be "overcome." --
Now SD, before you bring up elegance again, let us remember
that every *other* force has complementary components...
In mag/elect there is North/South and +/-. Nuclear forces
also. In the end, isn't it rather *in*elegant that gravity
seemingly has no complement? -- And yet in our solar system
gravity's obvious complement is centrifugal force! -- Why
not also out beyond the solar system, the galaxy and the
group as well? --
And since centrifugal force can be greater than gravitational
force, can this be used as a basis for "defying" gravity here
on Earth? and also in near-space? --

If science is your religion, then you are truely a really poor
scientist. Religion is subjective in nature and full of emotion.
Science is a objective, unbias study of the natural world. The two
things don't mix. If you really mean what you said above, then I think
you are quite a mess up person in your mind. Besides, we all know that
"religion" is poison to the mind. It is faith that you need, not

You're missing the story of the solar system: A big cloud
coalesced into the Sun and planets (et al). This turned
the whole thing into a stable conservation of energy system
not all that different from an atom's or a galaxy's (et al).
And: Until such time as someone provides verifiable proof
that the reason the moon is growing farther from earth
is in some way because of my imploding universe model,
I'm afraid I'm going to have to stick with Galileo's
and Newton's explanations (which do not contradict me).

I'll try to put it as simply as I can: The one characteristic
of centrifugal force is that is only displays certain vectors
(for a moving body, as in orbits, et al). While the gravity
of a body is always absolutely the same across the entire circle:
The so-called expansion of the universe does not display
"a" center around which it's "spinning outwards" as I believe
you envision it. The universe seems to be expanding AS IF
from every coordinate in it. [And if galaxy clusters were
like super galactic structures, we'd SEE it--But what we see
(of a cosmic structure by galaxy clusters) resembles something
like the latticeworks produced by dishwasher soap suds, with
vast bubble-like voids surrounded by streams.reams of galaxies).
Go figure.

Centrifugal force (fundamentally) exists because
of gravity: Gravity produces acceleration, and
acceleration is what produces orbits & other rocks
swinging about your head from a string: As long as
the moon is "falling" about the earth in a tangential
"side-stepping" motion in a parallelogram of forces:
the earth's surface curves away from the moon as fast
as the moon approaches it in falling, and the "distance"
between them always remains the same: You shoot a bullet
horizontally which magically gains velocity as it travels.
So that the greater its velocity the farther it travels
(before hitting the surface of the earth). But, the
farther it travels, the further away from it does
the spherical surface of the earth curve... adding to
the distance the bullet can travel (before hitting the
surface of the earth). Except... if the bullet achieves
sufficient velocity so that the earth's surface just
curves away at exactly the same rate the bullet is
"falling" then the bullet will "never" fall to the
surface of the earth but remain "in orbit" until
its velocity decreases and the satellite falls to the
earth or its velocity increases and the moon gets
farther and farther from the earth... and takes off
for outer space sometime in the future. (I'd explain
the sling-shot effect which adds velocity to the
probes going to Jupiter via some other planet's
gravitation, but I'm tired of typing).

Hard to say: It's a little bit like trying to
predict the same thing about some new-born baby.
At the moment, a recognition of the proper way
the universe works merely resolves esoteric puzzles
of interest mostly to astrophysicists and researchers
in related disciplines. [Why the speed of light always
comes out as constant in identical mediums AND
independent of source/observer. Why radiation is even
possible at all, in fact. Why, if the universe really
has been expanding for as long as even the age of its
oldest objects... it's not a lot much more spread out
and diluted than it is. (et al) If we know the true
path of the universe's evolution, it leads us to its
true origins and certain fate. In fact, it is always
the case that the key to getting anywhere in life
is turning up the right path to one's destination.]
As for my own part in all this: You have to
understand that the first "modern" efforts in trying
to understand the origins of the universe go back to
early/mid 20th Century debates between those who
proposed some sort of "steady-state" model (which
did not have to rely on "a" beginning/end) and
those who proposed the naive Big Bang/inflationary
theories in which every new discovery seems to create
yet another objection to previous discoveries... the
latest example of which being the artificial need for
"dark matter" to account for the insufficiency of
spinning galaxies' mass to keep their stars from
drifting into space (as they obviously are managing
to do)... AND the, also artificial, need for some sort
of (repelling, cosmological constant kind of) "funny
energy" to account for the fact that while gravity
is everywhere pulling things together... the universe
"seems" to be AT THE SAME TIME pushing itself apart:
The proof Hubble saw through his telescope, most crucial
of all, threw an almost fatal monkeywrench into the
process (and seemed to close for all time the dialogue
which might have otherwise led to understanding the
true nature of the universe. [In effect, the proof
Hubble saw through his telescope was that not only
were most galaxies receding from planet earth (as
had been developed from the "Doppler" effect posited
by Johann Doppler and demonstrated by Armand Fizeau,
and used by William Higgins, Hertzsprung, Slipher and
other astronomers to pick up clues from cosmic red-
shifts... but that galaxies were receding from each
other faster the farther they were from each other...
or that the entire universe seemed to be expanding!
The discovery of this "proof" was so startling and
conclusive that it killed any & all further attempts
to explain the evolution of the universe in terms of
the laws of physics (murdered in Einstein's own embryonic
Cosmological Constant proposal) and instead "created"
a model of the universe as "bursting forth" out of a
"cosmic egg" almost already fully-formed like Athena
from the forehead of Zeus, or Adam from the sands of
time brought to life but by the Word of Jehovah ("not
that there's anything wrong with that"), and requiring
of subsequent researchers nothing more than a polite
debate over whether the mass of the universe was enough
to cause its expansion to come to a halt and reverse
direction (Big Collapse), or whether its mass was not
enough to counter the force of the primordial Big Bang
and the universe would forever dilute itself into
unimaginably spread-out bits in the eternal nothingness
(not unlike arguing over the exact number of angels
that can dance on the head of a pin... certainly a
mathematician's paradise, I dare say). But, as you see:
I am not as original as you make me out to be (all I
have done is to again pick up the trail from where it was
abandoned because of Hubble's "proof" that the universe
was "expanding" ... a "proof" which ever since then has
resulted in self-contradictions/Rube Goldberg explanations
of every subsequent discovery that has pointed to the
untenable nature of the inflationary universe model).
The seed was the theory of black hole stars and how
it suggested that such phenomena were perfectly natural
in the universe. The precipitant: Finally abandoning
the ancient notion that there is a fundamental particle
(entity) among the ranks of the forms of matter. And
the crucible, as always... the marketplace of free ideas.

Absolutely: There is a superstition abroad in the land
that there is a "Planck length" beyond which nothing
smaller can exist--And that is as unreasonable as the
notion that there is a size beyond which nothing bigger

From the instant gravity manifested itself
and the universe of matter was born, countless
generations of "gravitational systems" (particles
if you like) have been evolving. This is an ongoing
process which can never cease (to my knowledge)
and so it goes on in our "epoch" as well, for
I suspect that black hole stars are yet another
generation of "particle" evolving before our eyes
(and that our universe of galaxies/stars/atoms
will eventually become a universe of whatever
particles our "black holes" will evolve into
their subparticles.

Absolutely not! Definitely not universes
in the same way we think of our universe:
Think of atoms and their subparticles as
an interdependent structure creating "a" level
(or generation) of matter in a chain of
generations stretching one upon another back
to the beginning of the universe of matter:
Although I could never categorically rule out
the possibility that life as we know it is only
possible in this the present generation of matter
... I also cannot see how it could be otherwise.
> Doesn't this all add up to pantheism?
Who knows!? Certainly not I. All I can say
with any authority is that, like everybody else,
I know there is no God, yet I believe in Him.
This is the normal/natural dichotomy in the
human experience: Knowledge concerns what we
can verify experimentally, Faith concerns what
we can not repudiate by/with knowledge: I know...
the condition of Faith is an irrational condition,
but it's the human condition.

The problem, Herb, is that "size" is always
relative; so... if the primordial "singularity"
(of energy) is the ONLY thing that exists...
how are you going to describe it as either
big or small (when it can never be described
as bigger than/smaller than anything else)...?
Moreover: There is NO WAY to describe it
as smaller than "us" without calling upon the
illogical conclusion that Everything comes out of
Nothingness. While, on the other hand, the
proposal that little ole "we" (the universe of
matter) come from something bigger than us
is almost a requirement of Nature:
The universe of energy implodes (creates
the universe of matter we know & love).
This "only" means that the universe of energy
was ALL that existed. And the ONLY thing
we can say... is that the universe of matter
was "smaller than" that universe of energy
(or primordial singularity, if you like) from
which "we" came (evolved).
Think for a minute: Ours (our universe of
matter) is ruled/governed by gravity [in
fact, one can even say that it IS gravity and
ONLY gravity]. So the ONLY thing such
a universe can be doing is imploding. There
is no way to get around that conclusion.

Herb, if the universe were expanding:
the acceleration of that expansion
would be mind-boggling. But if the
universe is imploding... it would be
impossible to propose that an acceleration
of that implosion could be avoided:
All such accelerations always result only
from a "force" being continuously applied
and the ONLY "force" the universe is being
continuously subjected to is the "force"
of gravity. It's as simple as that--
The notion (I prefer the more accurate term
"superstition") that the universe is expanding
comes ONLY from a historical misinterpretation:
The misinterpreted finding that the galaxies are
receding from each other (no one has stood outside
the universe and directly observed it expanding).
The problem is that practically every natural
effect (which would & is explained very
straightforwardly if you do so from an imploding
universe model)... becomes a self-contradicting
messy puzzle when you attempt to explain it
from an expanding universe model. [As with all
superstitions... ghosts & other supernatural
phenomena is honestly reported... where none can be
ultimately proved. And, ultimately, the fact remains
that in every instance explanations from the
expanding universe model are convoluted, Rube
Goldberg constructs usually notoriously irrational
and counter-intuitive... while, to my knowledge, all
explanations from the imploding universe model
are simple, logical, elegant, and quite, quite, quite
embarrassingly obvious.] http://web.sdrodrian.com
Remember, Herb: There are NO absolutes here:
If the ONLY "thing" that exists is, say, an
electron... is it big? ... small?
That "primordial singularity" could ONLY
have been bigger than the universe of matter
because from the instant of its birth
the universe of matter manifests gravity
(not TNT).

If you are going to argue about something, maybe you should learn what you

(presumably 'punctual' equilibrium would always be on time :-), and this is
just a newsworthy theory espoused by a few people who are good at making
headlines, rather than the broad mass of scientists. FWIW, it also says
nothing new about evolution, other than whether it happens gradually all the
time, or just happens faster at certain times. Its no big deal, it doesnt
deny that evolution happens, or any such stuff. Just how fast...
As to 'explaining' gaps in the fossil record, thats easy. There are no
fossils to fill that particular gap. What other explanation would you
propose?. Its a minor miracle, if you pardon the pun, that there are any
fossils at all. If there was fossil for every single animal species that
existed, (a) there wouldnt be enough room for them all, and (b) it would be
a miraculous event proving there is a God after all!
Finally, as for fossils, never mind the ones in the rocks. The ones in our
genes and those of the other organisms on this planet say enough about where
we came from.

As far as I know then we are at the same distance from the sun then we
always have! We certainly arn`t moving further away from it. Yes, people say
that the universe is expanding and our stars are getting further away and in
the very,very,very,very far future we won`t be able to see any. But our
Planets Venus, mars to Pluto are moving with Our Sun together so we may be
further away from `the centre of the uninverse`, our relitive distance from
our own Planets will be the same.
I think! :-)

No it does NOT, Herb. Think:
What the photon's wave is telling us
is that the galaxies are receding from each other
(or more accurately still: that the distances
between the galaxies are elongating). To jump
from that to the conclusion that the universe
itself is expanding is at least premature... and
humiliating, now that we are beginning to realize
that the universe is in reality imploding.
> The amount

That goes against one of the most fundamental
truisms in physics (that energy cannot be
created or destroyed)... ONLY the amount of energy
in the (complete) universe can be constant (and only
if it "really" exists homogeneously). But "matter"
CAN NOT "move" without the expenditure of energy
[and, in a simple analogy, you can't burn (move)
a bucket of gas without the gas being used up:
simple as that]. The notion that the universe of
matter can "have" MOTION at all WITHOUT the
expenditure of energy is as irrational/unreasonable
as to propose that in "a pool-table universe"
where the only things (or forms of "matter") that
existed were the balls on that table... those
balls could forever continue to bounce about
without having been "broken (up)" by a pool-shooter
[Big Bang theories] or being kept in motion by
the table itself rattling as if haunted [steady state
theories].
The ONLY mechanism which squares with the truism
that energy cannot be created/destroyed is one
in which energy is momentarily "conserved" IN
the form of matter ("converted" into "matter")
AND --at the same time-- "converted" back into
energy (or, "conserved" once again as energy).
This is the ONLY MOTION that energy/matter can
be put to (to do "work") under the laws of
thermodynamics. And this means that the only
workable/natural/organic/bona fide/valid/intuitive
model of a universe allowed by the laws of physics
and sanity is one which, undergoing implosion,
and in which there can be NO forms of matter that
are fundamental BECAUSE the ONLY place from which
such an implosion could possibly be drawing its
energy from is... from those "forms" of matter.
[Or, as somebody once said: "E=MC^2"]
The intellectual hurdle that as to be crossed
is acceptance of the, admittedly, "bizarre"
effect which results from all the forms of matter
being, not fundamental, but just merely "forms"
(which do not lose their FORM/shapes even as they
are surrendering their energy to the "work" of
the imploding universe)... Nothing seems to change
in the human experience. So it is as difficult
for some of us to accept that fact that the universe
in which we live is as if a "singularity" in the
"center" of some unimaginably huge "black hole"
... as it was for most of us to accept that the
ground on which we walked was but "a spinning sphere
suspended in the voids," as it were. But I have
no doubts that we shall come to a modern realization
of the true nature of our imploding universe
much sooner that we came to accept that the earth
was "round" [Eratosthenes of Cyrene, around 240 BC,
figured out that the reason why when the noontime Sun
in Syene (Egypt) was exactly overhead on June 21
it was just off in Alexandria (500 miles away) and
he realized that it had to be because the surface
of the earth curved away from the Sun: Using simple
geometry Eratosthenes then worked out (from the
difference size of the shadow cast in one place
and the other) by how much the earth's surface
"curved" between the two cities 500 miles apart
... and from the results, of course, it the became
inevitable for Eratosthenes to work out both the
circumference and diameter of the spherical Earth!
By the way, his figures gave him a result of (approx.)
8,000 miles for the diameter of our planet and (again
approx.) 25,000 miles for its circumference--Which
turned out to be MORE accurate than estimates still
being made in the 1700s! Go figure.]
But you can see why I am overwhelmingly confident:
The earth always was and always will be spherical
whether we realize & accept it. And our universe
has always been and will always be imploding; so
it really doesn't matter whether you hear it from
me, discover it yourself, or the whole business is
left to be discovered a couple of thousand years
from now, Herb.
> That means the overall
> gravitational force can't get stronger.
That's only relativistically true: Look at it
this way... as the universe "shrinks" there is
less and less fuel (or, the energy IN matter)
for it to "work" its engine BUT the engine has
less and less "work" to do BECAUSE of the shrinking
of the universe. The net result is that NOTHING
changes for us, here inside the universe of matter.
> If distances keep getting bigger
> between structures this weakens
> their mutual attraction.
ONLY in a true (impossible) expanding universe:
In our imploding universe "distances" are only
elongating relativistically... but they are, in
absolute terms, really diminishing: Think of a
mile's length between two "points" receding from
each other IN our imploding universe... where
the implosion is happening so fast that a mile's
length is reduced to about an inch in the time
it takes our two receding "points" to travel
a couple of feet from each other: Are those two
"points" really coming closer to each other with
time, or getting farther? Again: The answer is
that they are "absolutely" getting closer with
time at the same time that they are getting farther
away from each other relativistically. [And now
you know the answer to whether the galaxies IN
our imploding universe are getting farther and
farther from each other, or coming closer and
closer: They are doing both at the same time; one
being an absolute truth, while the other is only
a relativistic truth. This, in essence, is why
I named the description of this imploding model
of the universe "Absolute Relativity."] Visit:

There can be no true perfectly homogeneous
singularities in our universe because there
are NO fundamental forms of matter (particles).
Not to mention the fact that it would violate
the laws of thermodynamics (it it's all the same
"in there" then there is no motion "in it"

Herb: Think about it for a minute (it's SO
simple, I'm almost embarrassed to repeat it).
1) ALL that exists/ever existed is the universe
of energy (a Singular motion which because
it's the only thing that exists = Absolute Rest).
2) Once gravity is manifested, vector/relativistic
motions arise in the form of gravitational systems
(think of these as coalescing particles, if you
wish) and you can see how as they "pull" away from
each other (shrink in place, if you wish)...
distance (space, if you wish) between them
makes its first ever appearance in the universe.
3) Result: As the forms of matter (particles, or
gravitational systems) shrink... relativistic
distances between them "grows" EVEN AS the entire
imploding universe itself contracts.
4) That process is still ongoing today, of course.
And at this stage, magnified tremendously by
astronomical distances... we can easily observe
the galaxies "creating space/distance" between
themselves. [The farther the distance between
them the more space/distance is necessarily
created.] And the only requirement the universe
makes of us, as it presents us with its ultimate
truths... is that we look on them less with our eyes
than with our insights.

'Lo Ian --
Yes, just as the Moon's orbit is slowly expanding, all of the
planets in our solar system are very slowly moving away from
the Sun. In the case of the Earth-Moon system this is due to
tidal action. Tidal bulges scrape against shallow sea bottoms.
The energy of the Earth's rotation is dissipated as heat. So
the rotation slows down at the rate of about one second every
one hundred thousand years.
As Earth's rotation rate slows down, it also loses angular
momentum. But angular momentum cannot be dissipated as heat,
so it must go elsewhere in the Earth-Moon system. The Earth
loses and the Moon gains angular momentum. This results in
the Moon receding from the Earth.
Similar effects take place between the Sun and its system of
planets, between the center of the galaxy and its system of
stars, between the center of galaxy clusters and megaclusters
and their systems, and between the center of the universe and
its system of megaclusters.

Very rarely....
1) The galaxies are not equidistant
from each other. This means that gravity
will always pull then in one direction
more than in all others (mostly).
This can really cause a chaotic
landscape in the cosmos (the latest findings
tell us that, at least in the local regions
of the universe, the galaxies seem to be
spread out in a soap-bubble-like distribution
with huge empty areas surrounded by "reams"
of galaxy concentrations).
2) Of importance (?) to us (in the Milky
Way Galaxy) is that the Andromeda Galaxy
is headed our way... and a few hundred
million years from now the two galaxies
must crash! However, stars are so distant
from each other that it's more than possible
that the two galaxies will pass through
each other with no more than one single
collision between any of their stars (and
with our luck it'll be ours... unlucky because
we'll absolutely certainly felicitously be
extinct by then & miss the sight of them
passing through each other, probably exchanging
a few stars, after which our pretty spiral
Milky Way Galaxy will probably de-spiral
and become a totally messy mess--But
things change: Watchagonnado?).
3) And, by the way, the universe is NOT
"expanding" but "imploding." Visit thou:
And be enlightened.

I've never met nor conversed with anyone well-versed in astronomy
who did not believe in one form or another of the so-called Big
Bang theory of the "beginning" of the universe. I've read about
other theories, the static universe, the imploding universe, and
Isaac Asimov's elegant four-leaf-clover oscillating universe, but
everyone i've talked to pretty much goes with the Big Bang and an
expanding universe.
As i'm not qualified to debate the issues of astronomy with you,

You may agree or you may instruct me as you see fit.

Well, SD, since i missed the story of the solar system <g>, then
i must have missed that in the last five billion years or so the
Sun has lost a bit of angular momentum. Since this is a stable
conservation-of-angular-momentum system, where do you suppose
the angular momentum goes?
No additional energy is needed if the planets gain the Sun's lost
angular momentum. This is enough to give the planets the steam
needed to recede from the Sun. --

I think i have you here in a humble sort of way. One of my
career fields is electronics. We were talking about forces,
and current is not a force. The pressure involved here is
an electromotive force (EMF) also called "voltage." Or in
the case of magnetism the force is magnetomotive force (MMF).
In both cases the forces are polar, i.e., they display two
opposite (or complementary) poles.

If you study it, you might find that the Earth and Moon
each revolve around a center of gravity that is about a
thousand miles below the Earth's surface (always in the
direction of the Moon, of course!). -- And these mutual
orbits are a bit eliptical, which means that there are
times when the Moon and Earth are closer together than at
other times. For me, one interesting point is that the
Moon, unlike all other satellites in the solar system
(with the possible exception of Charon, Pluto's bro) is
always falling toward the Sun! All the other satellites
spend as much time going away from the Sun as they do
heading toward the Sun as they orbit their planets. Not
the Moon. In many respects, the Moon is more like a
sister planet than like a satellite. --

A joke of course. Rockets and bullets do not use centrifugal
force to defy gravity.
I was referring to a device that would incorporate centrifugal
force, perhaps along with MMF, (maybe an "apparent" centrifugal
force?) to defy gravity in a more mundane sort of manner, one
which would safely and effectively get our feet off the ground.
At least this is one idea that hasn't been hushed up by the

So here's the deal: The center of everything loses angular
momentum which is gained by those elements of the system
that revolve around the center. So everything recedes from
the center. Personally, i think that 15% acceleration of
expansion is a bit high. It's probably no greater than two
or three percent. Astronomers seem to neglect the velocity-
of-light factor and that matter travels so much slower than
light. This yields such errors as in a too-low age of the
near-universe and too-high percentage of expansion increase.
I suppose you have a great explanation for how red shifts
do not lead to the conclusion that the universe is expanding.
If you wish you may so instruct me.
Thanks again for your perusal and discussion!

Simple:
1) the universe is imploding (shrinking)
2) ALL the forms of matter IN it are shrinking
AND they are only "forms/shapes" and NOT
fundamental (i.e. atoms et al can be split)
3) The process is in two steps: FIRST the
forms of matter shrink in place (towards
their "centers") and THEN they all engage
in a collective rush towards each other.
4) Necessarily step 1 must happen before
step 2 because if it were the other way
around... the forms of matter would crash
instead of giving birth (creating) space
between them.
5) This "time lapse" between steps 1 and 2
is infinitesimal up to the human level,
but because it is magnified with distance
at the level of astronomical distances
it becomes observable:
6) We see "space" being created (really only
"distance" being elongated) between galaxies
and it "looks" to us as if they are flying
apart, when what they're really doing is
(mostly) shrinking in place FASTER [step 1]
than they are rushing towards each other [step 2]
I hope you cannot claim now that
I have not simplified it for you, Terri:
The only thing left after this is
simplifying it for the apes. (And, yes:
I can give even that a shot, if I have to.)

Sir: We have NOT only ceased evolving
as a species but we are actually de-evolving
even as I speak (I'm speaking to my dog now).
Even H.G.Wells knew a hundred years ago
that some time in the future our descendants
will split into two separate species:
One of predators, the other one lambs.
The predators, as all men eventually do,
will drive the lambs to extinction
and then evolve into brutes at the level
of the present homo sapiens sapiens
and then finally indulge in a nuclear war
after which rodents will inherit the earth
and, after about 65 million years or so,
they'll evolve into the Whopeople in the Grinch
and nobly accept the monster which might
survive from the (almost) extinct species
of apes... whose existence Who paleontologists
are convinced were primitive proto-Whos
without knowing they really descend
not from apes/monkeys like us but from rats.
Lucky they!

The reason you'd expect the reverse is because you
most grossly overestimate the ability of dim-witted
fellows (like the mentally tipsy Standeven poster above)
to think straight at all in the first place.

[God, I hope you know what waves are!]
Picture a background of painted waves and then
imagine two objects passing before them: One very slowly
the other one very quickly. Now, if you take a picture
of one second of each object's passing and look at them
you will notice that within the same (one second) frame
of the two pictures there are many more waves in the
background in the picture with the faster-passing object
than in the picture with the slower-passing one:
This means that if the waves were sound waves the
faster passing object would hear a much higher pitch
than the slower passing object (in spite of the fact
that both of them were passing the same background
painting). And the same is true if the object itself
were standing still and it was the background of waves
that was moving faster/slower.
And, of course, if you're talking light waves (where
the higher pitch = a shift to the blue side of the spectrum
and more distended waves shift to the red side of the
spectrum)... Light waves coming from a galaxy which
is moving away from us will also be "more distended"
than those coming from a galaxy moving towards us.
SImple calculation can then tell us how fast a galaxy
is moving away from/toward us... depending on whether
the light waves are shifted to the red or blue side
of the spectrum. NOW YOU KNOW.

That the so-called "expansion" would eventually
be found to be accelerating. In 1998 researchers
finally found indisputable proof that this was so
(baffling the entire astrophysics community) and
making it a very satisfying year for moi. SEE:
By the way, it is ONLY by accepting the fact
that the universe is imploding that one can
finally understand why it is that the speed of light
is always constant in identical mediums. Which see.

[God, I hope you know what waves are!]
Picture a background (a wall?) of painted waves and then
imagine two persons passing before them: One very slowly
the other one very quickly. Now, if you take a picture of
one second of each person's passing [sic] and look at them
you will notice that within the same (one second) frame
of the two pictures there are many more waves in the
background in the picture with the faster-passing person
than in the picture with the slower-passing one: This
means that if the waves were sound waves the faster passing
person would hear a much higher pitch than the slower passing
person (in spite of the fact that both of them were passing
the same painted background). --Very tightly bunched-up waves
produce a higher pitch than very spaced out ones-- [sic]
And the same effect would also ensue if a person were standing
still and it was the background of waves that was moving "by
him/her" faster/slower... because even if the "pitch" of the
waves is "set in stone" an observer will either "hear it" in
in a higher/lower pitch if either he/she travels through them
faster/slower (thereby stuffing fewer or more of them within
the same "time-frame") or the flow of waves themselves are
the ones traveling faster/slower (thereby stuffing fewer or
more of them into the same "time/frame").
And, of course, if you're talking "light waves" (where the
"higher pitch" = a shift to the "blue" side of the spectrum
while more distended waves shift to the "red" side of the
spectrum)... the "light waves" of quantum particles coming
from a galaxy which is moving away from us will also be
"more distended" than those of quantum particles coming from
a galaxy moving towards us [in the accordion-like existence
of waves, they are stringed out when fewer of them pass
the earth in a given "time-frame" if the earth is (speaking
relativistically now) going their way... than if the earth
is going in the direction the waves are coming from: and there
you have proof not only that some galaxies are moving away
from us faster than others, but, as Hubble discovered, that
the farther a galaxy is from us the faster it's moving away
from us].
In any case, the result is that the galaxies really ARE
receding from each other... faster the farther they are
from each other. But this does no prove (as the post-Hubble
cosmologists prematurely jumped to conclude) that the universe
is "steadily/continuously expanding." [At best, they should
have merely assumed it might mean that... because such an
effect is NEVER to be found anywhere else in Nature (as Newton
knew)... in Nature, ALL inflations/expansions/explosions are
absolutely limited to/by the amount of energy behind them:
volcanic eruption, stick of dynamite, heating of a gas, or
a supernova... whatever, it matters not: "inflations" do NOT
create but destroy.] But, we are creatures ultimately driven
more by instant gratification than by patience and wisdom.
But all that is behind us now. At this point in human history
we can again revisit the Hubble discovery and instead of
simply citing his discovery as proof that the universe is
expanding, we can now ask, perhaps for the first time... what
does it mean that the galaxies seem to be receding from each
other as if against the laws of physics? And if the answer is
that it is merely an optical illusion, how could such an
illusion fit in with the laws of physics? Had these been the
questions raised by Hubble's finding (instead of the answers
he & his contemporaries proposed it was gift-wrapping for them)
it might have been possible for them to deduce that if two
inhabited planets standing side by side were to suddenly begin
shrinking in place (towards their centers)... without giving
any obvious clues that that's what they were really doing: the
inhabitants of those two planets would have no alternative but
to conclude that their planets had suddenly begun receding from
each other! [I have no doubt their scientists would very quickly
develop some inflationary theory or other... in spite of what
their laws of physics told them was impossible, just as ours.]
Although, from a strictly historical perspective, it seems
(at least to me) that physics' fundamental error might really
have turned out to be quite felicitous, because had physicists
learned from the 1920s what they learned in the 1940s at the
Manhattan Project... I wonder if we'd still be here so idly
bantering our whatever opinions back & forth. Now...
I've very often said that the primordial universe of energy
was/is ONE motion--And doesn't that mean that at least it
is some sort of eternally/steadily continuing expansion?
No it does not: To describe the universe of energy as somehow
"increasing" is merely a semantic conceit, for its reality
is far closer to it also being a coalescence of/from some vaster
"region" (it would be a clear violation of the conservation
of energy principle to posit energy gushing out of nowhere
like a fountain and flowing outwardly... so the only possible
alternative left to us is to deduce that that primordial store-
house of energy was/is literally what "it all" boiled down to).
However, being the ONE and only Motion in existence, the universe
of energy can be described both as absolute rest AND as an
outward-ly repelling force... the instant gravity manifests
itself and the universe of matter "moves" away from it: Note
that the universe of matter is also a coalescence (of/from the
universe of energy). And, of course, every single one of its
gravitational systems is also a coalescence... an unbroken
string from the primordial existence to the present on (where
galaxies are even now coalescing into black holes).

That the so-called "expansion" would eventually
be found to be accelerating. [From Newton's dictum
that it is only when a force is continuously applied
to a body that it undergoes an acceleration Knowing
that the universe is imploding means knowing that the
force of gravity IS continuously exerting its force
on all the bodies of the universe... ergo, it MUST be
found that whatever the universe is "doing" that "work"
either HAD to be found to be accelerating OR the laws
of physics just do not work as they've been defined.
In 1998 researchers finally found indisputable proof
that it was indeed the case that what the universe is
doing it's managing to do faster and faster with time
(baffling the entire astrophysics community)... but
making 1998 a very satisfying year for moi.] SEE:
By the way, it is ONLY by accepting the fact
that the universe is imploding that one can
finally understand why it is that the speed of light
is always constant in identical mediums. Which SEE.

Ah! At last man of wisdom! You are
absolutely correct... now try to explain why
others (not so wise as you) can still believe
a universe ruled by gravity can "explode?"

There is no expansion! What there is
most indisputably is a recession of the galaxies.

Quite right: But... what if there were one thing
which did not comply absolutely with the laws
governing the implosion of the universe? What if, for
example a quantum particle, say, shrank in pace just
like every other form of matter BUT somehow refused then
to rush in to fill the gaps created when the forms of
matter shrank in place? What effect would this create?
Might it not resemble the behavior of the photon now?
... The photon seems to always travel at a constant speed
in identical mediums. Moreover, it will slow down when
traveling through a "thicker" medium and THEN speed up
again when it crosses over into a less thick medium!!!
Where does the photon gets its acceleration? SEE:

Johannes, you'd be surprised at what the mind
knows of things touching... no one has ever touched
at all.
