  • horrible. absolutely horrible.

  • "absolutely horrible"

    .

    Yes! The religion of Mathematical Physics is beyond any rational person's comprehension! It's absolutely stunning idiocy! But you got to get used to it, Rick.

  • Your video shows a complete misunderstanding of math, science, distance, time, AND religion.  Wow!

  • "a complete misunderstanding of math, science, distance, time, AND religion"

    Oh, what part did I misunderstand, area?

  • @bgaede

    1) Fallacy of false dichotomy: You made a false distinction between "length' and 'distance' when the two terms really are equivalent. To use your example, the length of one loaf of bread is the distance between the two ends. The distance between two loaves of bread is the length of the gap between them.

  • 2) Fallacies of equivocation:The video presents Special Relativity as claiming the distance between the muon and the second palm tree has shrunk, and "refutes' this claim by saying it is the same as saying the distance between a stationary rock and the second palm tree has shrunk. Special Relativity shows that length measurements depend on relative motion, so any lengths/distances are contracted when in motion relative to the measurer. The muon sees the distance between rock & tree as smaller.

  • 3) Another False dichotomy: The existence of black holes does not depend on a singularity. La Place first calculated the possibility of a mass so dense that the escape velocity would necessarily be higher than the speed of light. He did this using Newton's Law of Gravity and Conservation of Energy. Any first-semester physics student could do the same calculation.

  • Ignoring inconvenient facts: Newton's Law of gravity predicts that gravitational forces only exist between objects with mass. Einstein's General Relativity predicts that light (massless) will be affected by gravity. Measurements of light from stars seen behind a total solar eclipse just one year after Einstein first published his paper on General relativity clearly show that the light from these stars bent about 1.75 degrees.

  • GPS satellites work because relativity is used to correct for the motion of the satellite relative to the Earth (Special Relativity) AND to correct for the gravitational effects of the Earth on the communications signals (General Relativity) BOTH corrections are required to use GPS to pinpoint your location within a few feet. Without both corrections, the accuracy would drift by several miles peer day.

  • NASA's Gravity B Probe satellite proved conclusively just this past year that large, spinning bodies (like the Earth) warp and twist space-time (like a spinning spoon stuck in honey would drag the surrounding honey with it as it moves)

    Please see science.nasa.gov/science-news/­science-at-nasa/2011/04may_epi­c/

  • 1. "the length of the gap"

    .

    You just measured your ruler. We already knew that your ruler has length. Can't measure the length of love or of intelligence! But keep trying.

  • 2. "The muon sees the distance between rock & tree as smaller."

    Did the distance b/w the muon and Tree B shrink according to SR? Yes or No? i thought that the idiots of relativity assert that the distance b/w the muon and the Earth shrinks and that that's why the muon is found at the surface level when it was supposed to have ended its life earlier?

  • 3. "The existence of black holes does not depend on a singularity"

    .

    Irrelevant! An introductory course in Physics would have educated you a bit so that you don't make such gross errors. Is a black hole an object or a concept? That's the only Q you need to answer.

  • 4. Of course, if you would have taken a beginner's course in Physics, you would know the diff b/w an object and a concept. We learn the definition of the word 'object' on our first day of Physics class. Physics deals only with objects. We don't move concepts in Physics!

  • 5. "gravitational forces only exist between objects"

    .

    Correct! So what is this BS about a concept (i.e., black hole) having to do with gravity?

  • 6. "Einstein's General Relativity predicts that light (massless) will be affected by gravity."

    .

    Yes. GR also holds that fields and grav waves (i.e., LIGO) are responsible for gravity. GR has gone out of its way to cover all the bases and make the religion of Math Phyz unfalsifiable. That explains in great measure its success.

  • 7. "light from these stars bent about 1.75 degrees"

    .

    Bent???

    .

    Bent or DEFLECTED? Do you even understand the diff?

    .

    A banana is BENT or WARPED. A ping pong ball is DEFLECTED. Is the photon particle of the religion of Relativity BENT or DEFLECTED? Does 'a' wave of the religion of Math Phyz STRETCH from Andromeda to Earth or TRAVEL from Andromeda to Earth? Where does 'it' start? Where does 'it' end?

  • 8. "GPS satellites work because relativity is used to correct for the motion of the satellite relative to the Earth"

    .

    We've been rewinding clocks for centuries, area. You've discovered nothing new.

  • 9. "NASA's Gravity B Probe satellite proved conclusively... that large, spinning bodies (like the Earth) warp and twist space-time"

    .

    a. In Science, we don't prove. So you must be talking about some religion you belong to. Proof means that the priest rammed his dick up your ass. Proof means that YOU gawked! proof is in the eye of the beholder. In Science, we don't prove (subjective). In Science, we explain (objective).

  • 10. b. How do you warp a concept, area? Do you grab this spacetime stuff with tweezers? Did you take a picture of spacetime before you warped this hammock? Is this your spacetime, area?

    .

    en.wikipedia org/wiki/File:Spacetime_curvat­ure.png

    .

    Is that fishnet what you call spacetime at your monastery? Is that what you pray to?

  • Lulz this guy has no clue what length contraction is.

    It's a physical contraction of the object moving.

    If a meterstick is moving REALLY fast, it shrinks.

    It's been tested and expirementally supported.

    So, seriously, what makes this guy hate Relativity so much?

    He is wrong. He is ignorant. He is not a scientist.

  • "length contraction is... a physical contraction of the object... If a meterstick is moving REALLY fast, it shrinks. It's been tested"

    .

    Are there really people out there as stupid as Zam? Is this guy for real?

    .

    Why did the object shrink, idiot Zam? WHAT physical object caused the stick to shrink?

  • @bgaede Well, sir I'll explain relativity to you. You see, back in the 1800's, scientists were pondering light. How does it travel throught space? They came up with the ether, the substance through which light propagates. An expirement was done to prove the ethers existence. It failed, showing light to travel at c from all reference points. One scientist refused to believe this almost his whole life. One reason is that the consequences are time and length dilation. He eventually accepted fact.

  • 1. "I'll explain relativity"

    You didn't. You probably don't know the diff b/w an explanation and a description. That's probably why you didn't.

    .

    "An expirement was done to prove the ethers existence. It failed"

    How do you prove the existence of THIS chair, Zar? Do you sit on it?

    .

    billgaede.hubpages com/hub/Why-God-Doesnt-Exist-P­roof

  • 2. Who did they prove it to? To you? Were you gullible enough to accept the existence (or non) without questioning? Did they also prove the existence of God to you?

  • 3. "One scientist refused to believe this almost his whole life"

    He couldn't have been a scientist if he relied on belief. Maybe he convinced YOU that he was a scientist. Did he prove that to you too?

    .

    "He eventually accepted fact"

    In Science, we don't deal with facts. In Science, we merely explain.

    So, again, who told you this guy was a scientist? Why did you gawk and accept it?

  • @bgaede I am curious Mr. Gaede, how much of relativity do you accept?

    Do you accept that the speed of light is c for all reference frames?

  • 1. "how much of relativity do you accept?"

    .

    Relativity is a religion. It is entirely divorced from Science. In Science, we explain. Relativity has few explanations, the most important being for gravity. The explanation is that gravity is a consequence of warped space. This explanation assumes that space is a physical object. Thus, it has nothing to do with Science.

  • 2. Another explanation relativity offers is for the fast orbit of stars around nothing. The idiots of relativity call this nothing a 'black hole'.

    However, the infamous BH is a concept, no different than love or justice or information. We don't do Physics with concepts. Stars do not orbit information. So again, the BH is not a scientific proposal. None of relativity survives. None!

  • 3. "the speed of light is c for all reference frames?"

    What's a 'reference frame'? We recognize no such monster in Physics! Please draw a picture of one so that we can figure out what you're talking about. We don't have reference frames here on Planet Earth. What planet are you from, anyway?

  • @bgaede My soda next to me appears to be at rest. The reference frame here is the ground. If my reference frame is the sun, my soda is travelling very fast as it orbits the sun with the earth. Which speed is correct? Without relativity, the universe needs somekind of absolute reference frame. If this is true, some pretty weird effects of light would happen. These effects (no time to explain) are not observed, so light is c in all frames. Relativity undoubtedly has support even you cannot debunk.

  • 1. "My soda next to me appears to be at rest"

    No one rests in Mother nature's world, not even God! There is not a single atom in the U which is at rest.

  • 2. "The reference frame here is the ground... my reference frame is the sun, my soda is travelling very fast"

    .

    For the purposes of Science, the term 'reference frame' means OPINION. Opinions are not a part of Science. It is in religion where they invoke observers and testimonials (i.e., measurement). in Science we ONLY explain. Whether the speed was this instead of that cannot help us EXPLAIN anything. Therefore, the entire description you just offered has nothing to do with Science.

  • 3. In Science, we MUST, absolutely MUST, figure out WHAT physical objects mediate Mother Nature's invisible phenomena. We need to explain gravity, electricity, magnetism, etc. Not one fucking idiot of Math, let alone of Relativity, has ever proposed a valid hypothesis. All we have today, just when Man is about to become extinct, are wave-packets, 0D particles, singularities, wormholes, fields, waves, aether, vortices, plasma and other such nonsense. Not one has proposed a genuine object.

  • 4. "effects... are not observed"

    You'd be more powerful than God if you could see concepts! In Science, we can only 'observe' objects. We don't have the eyes to see 'effects'.

  • 5. "light is c in all frames"

    A movie has frames. Each frame contains a STATIC image. We don't have ANY speed within ANY frame. If you still have doubts, find a picture of your grandma. Stare at it closely for about an hour and tell me whether anything moved.

  • 6. "Relativity undoubtedly has support..."

    ...of gullible idiots like you who are starstruck by authority and never question the celebrities. Relativity says that space is warped. Did you ever question that, idiot Zar? Is space a physical object? Is that physical object what this stupid idiot Einstein bent into a well? Is this why the earth orbits the Sun? Because the canvas in our vicinity is warped?

  • @bgaede Well sir, you are a stubborn pseudoscientist who doesn't have the vaguest idea of how science, relativity, or quantum mechanics work, and i am done arguing about a theory that's been supported numerous times. I can see u are incapable of taking any kind of criticism; although, you can pour forth myriads of ludicrous and invalid criticism upon truths found nearly one hundred years ago. Also, i recommend you treat others with respect; it's difficult to take you seriously. Good day.

  • 1. "a theory that's been supported numerous times"

    What a gullible idiot you are, Zar. Is that all you can do? Gawk at authority? Ask the celebrity for an autograph? Is that what they call 'being a scientist' at your monastery?

    So let's see if I have this right. To you a theory is truth if it is 'supported' by whomever, huh? What a fucking piece of shit you have for a brain, Zar. Your logic is appalling!

  • 2. "u are incapable of taking any kind of criticism"

    Criticism? We've been dealing with YOUR theory, you moron! We haven't got to mine. You haven't been able to defend your own religion.

    .

    "truths found nearly one hundred years ago"

    What truths, fag boy? Truth is what your priest rammed up your ass! Truth means that YOU have bought the theory. Truth is an opinion. There are no truths in Science.

  • 3. But the fact that what you claim as truth was laid down 100 years ago only exposes how behind the times you are. You've got a sharp learning curve ahead!

    .

    "i recommend you treat others with respect"

    Sure. Just recommend that to your buddies first. Okay?

    youstupidrelativist com/Ridicule/01Rid html

  • You don't seem to have grasped the notion that the speed of light is finite and that there is no such thing as absolute space and absolute time, Bill. So the distance/ length/ measurement BETWEEN things VARIES depending on your frame of reference. Also muons tend to be travelling towards the earth, not horizontally, as depicted in your video.

  • "the distance/ length/ measurement BETWEEN things VARIES depending on your frame of reference"

    .

    WTF??? What does this ´frame of the painting´ have to do with the physical or real separation between two surfaces? What does YOUR OPINION or YOUR measurement while you were drunk have to do with the actual, qualitative gap between two trees? Does the dist b/w the two trees change if I look at the scene from a different angle?

    .

    youstupidrelativist com/05SR/01Length/05Observer html (Fig 1).

  • @bgaede "Does the dist b/w the two trees change if I look at the scene from a different angle?"

    Not if you are stationary, relative to the two trees. But if you are moving at half the speed of light, in the direction parallel with the relevant distance 'line', the distance measurement between the trees will appear to be 13.4% shorter.

    What is YOUR interpretation of the results of the Michelson Morley experiment?

  • 1. Bill: "Does the dist b/w the two trees change if I look at the scene from a different angle?"

    fin: "Not if you are stationary"

    .

    What a moron! What a stupid idiotic moron you are, fin!

    The word ´angle´ is a STATIC concept. So the scenario I was referring to is invariably stationary. I said nothing about motion.

  • 2. You are standing perpendicular to an imaginary line running between the two trees. I am standing at a very oblique 10° angle. We measure two diff distances. Does the distance b/w the two trees change because I measure something diff than you, you stupid, idiotic moron? Are you really THAT stupid, fin?

  • 3. Do you have enough brains to tell me whether your measurement or mine is correct? Does the QUALITATIVE distance b/w the trees change because you run from Tree A to Tree B? Does one tree move closer to the other because you run b/w them?

  • @bgaede Brains? You're the one digging yourself into an ever deeper hole!

    The correct linear distance between the trees can be calculated by each of us, by a number of means including trigonometry. As I said before the angular distance we each measure depends on our distance from the trees.

    If by 'qualitative' you are assuming absolute space and time then logically the distance will be the same, but that is a false assumption to make, so it depends on your motion and reference frame.

  • 1. "The correct linear distance between the trees can be calculated by each of us"

    .

    What an idiot you are, fin! Those priests shoved their dicks so far up your ass that all you can do from now on is repeat the catechism like a parrot. Talking to a numskull like you is like talking to a zombie or to a demented Down´s patient at the asylum. But the arrogance that you people come out of the asylum with is unbelievable. I suppose brainwashing does that to you.

  • 2. Anyways, Mother Nature doesn´t give a shit what you calculate. The dist b/w the trees will ALWAYS be the same. It doesn´t matter where you measure from, what you measure, how fast the muon or you are traveling, or whether you are moving at all. MN doesn´t recognize ref frames. This is merely mathematical poppycock and has nothing to do with Physics, with the real world. The two trees will not change the distance that separates them no matter what. It´s UNCONDITIONAL.

  • 3. "you are assuming absolute space and time"

    .

    What a deranged moron! WTF is ´absolute´, you piece of monastery shit? Can you even define the words space and time... I mean, before you use them? Mother Nature doesn´t recognize anything called ´time´, and space is a synonym of ´nothing´, that ´stuff´that you find b/w the Earth and the Moon. What would the adjective ´absolute´change in either term, only a raving lunatic like you can answer!

  • 4. "the distance will be the same... so it depends on your motion"

    .

    What an idiot! It´s truly like talking to a moron! It´s actually quite hilarious when you factor that people truly believe in the nonsense they parrot: "Yeah, the distance will be the same no matter what, but it all depends on your motion, Bill."

  • 5. This is what the mathematicians have done. They´ve come up with so much poppycock that they´ve ended up running around in circles. And gullible, weak-minded idiots like fin swallow the catechism on the basis of authority. It´s all that secret work the priests did with him inside the confession box.

  • @bgaede It's not about being persuaded, it's possible to understand for oneself HOW relativity works. You Bill, do not seem to understand it at all well. In your book you mistake the ANALOGY of the bowling ball on a rubber sheet for an ACTUAL description of the fabric of reality. You also misunderstand the ANALOGY of the expanding balloon with coins. If you took the time to understand these THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS better, you would first face-palm, then you might learn something of value.

  • 1. “Prior to the late 19th century it was assumed that the vacuum of space consisted of ether.”

    And then this idiot Einstein came around and renamed this medium “spacetime”

    aetherometry com/Electronic_Publications/Sc­ience/einstein_aether_and_rela­tivity php

    Of course, a stupid idiot such as you who doesn´t read or do research simply swallows the establishment´s version on the basis of authority w/o expending any gray matter on the subject.

  • 2. "How do YOU account for the finite speed of light"

    Irrational Q! Not a part of Science. You should learn the Scientific Method before posting nonsense.

    It is irrational to ask, "Where did the first bit of matter come from?" Nevertheless, even in the best of cases, this is a Q of REASON, not of CAUSE. Therefore, it belongs in Philosophy, not Physics.

  • 3. Likewise, it is irrational to ask, “Why little c and not some other speed?” Only a stupid idiot like you ponders those Qs simply because you are unfamiliar with the Sci Meth. And, of course, after gaping for two hours, you end up concluding that God´s Universe is truly unknowable. “We are so puny...”

  • 4. “a frame of reference in which all objects existed, but was disproved by Michelson”

    a. In Science, we don´t prove anything. Proof simply means that the priest rammed his dick up YOUR ass. Remember that whenever you use the words proof or truth in Science.

  • 5. b. Did this idiot Michelson define the word ´object´? Did this mathematical moron define the word ´exist´? If you can´t produce his definitions in your next comment, then he ´proved´ doodly-squat!

  • 6. “you mistake the ANALOGY of the bowling ball on a rubber sheet for an ACTUAL description of the fabric of reality”

    Please don´t use analogy, then, idiot fin! In Science, we do NOT rely on parables, figures of speech, or second meanings. In Science, we do NOT attempt to mislead the juror, but rather clarify as much as possible so that there are no misinterpretations. We do not leave it to each of the jurors to figure out what the presenter was talking about.

  • 7. So, if the bowling ball on canvas is not your explanation for why Merk doesn´t leave the SS, what is it in the alternative? That´s all you´ve got to answer, fin. Otherwise, we have to take your analogy LITERALLY, the way we take EVERYTHING in Physics. Mother Nature does not do Physics with figures of speech and poetry. Her world is LITERAL!

  • 8. “You also misunderstand the ANALOGY of the expanding balloon with coins”

    Great! Give it to me straight, fin! What happens in the real world if not the expansion of a balloon carrying with it the galaxies? If you cannot make a movie of your theory, it does NOT belong in Physics! Physics ONLY deals with IMAGINABLE objects. Anything else belongs to religion. Physics does NOT move reified concepts or use a 3D analogy to persuade the jurors to accept the unimaginable 4D world of GR!

  • 9. “understand these THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS”

    In Science, we do not rely on fantastic, magical thought experiments. In Science, we can only accept RATIONAL explanations.

    youstupidrelativist com/02Sci/03SciRel html

    .

    In Science, we must propose WHAT PHYSICAL OBJECT prevents Mercury from leaving the Sun and then explain our theory with it.

  • 10. In Science, we do not reify the CONCEPT space, tell the crowd that ´it´ is expanding and that the Sun warps ´it´, and at the end excuse our irrational, unimaginable explanation by saying that it´s JUST an analogy. Got it, you moron? You can swallow such garbage if you want, fin. But then you will be treated with the full respect that you deserve.

  • 11. "The verbal abuse coming from you... Why not focus more on the science/ physics"

    With a demented, arrogant idiot such as you who knows it all and talks about warped space as if it were a matter of fact, there is no other way to talk. Our motto at the Bill Gaede School of Physics is: "We teach with a baseball bat."

  • @bgaede With a motto like that it's hardly surprising you're NOT making the headlines as the guy who disproved Einstein. That plus the fact that you criticize that which you don't understand. Plus the fact that you try to ram your ideas down peoples throats and speak like a cross between a 12 year old schoolboy and a medieval oligarch!

  • 2. "Michelson (and Morley) devised, constructed and carried out an experiment to determine if and in which direction we were moving through the hypothesized ether"

    And Einstein et al. converted the aether into spacetime. In a nutshell, you recognize an idiot of Math because he proposes that space is a physical object.

    Oh, I forgot. You don't know what an object is.

  • 3. "Complex phenomena require complex explanations"

    .

    Except that Mother Nature's shop is quite simple: atoms bound by EM ropes. That's it. We're done. No warped space, no 0D particles of mass, no 1D strings, no BHs or wormholes, no dark matter or energy, no time stretching or travel.

  • 4. "It's SURFACE represents in 2D"

    .

    What a piece of shit yo momma gave you for a brain, fin! ALL surfaces are 3D. Surface is inherently a 3D word. There is no such thing as a 2D 'surface'. If it's 2D, it belongs to the category known as planes, for instance, your brain!

    Time is a physical object??? 'It' progresses? I wonder when love and justice will start progressing...

  • 6. "A better analogy would be"

    Don't come with analogies, you lamebrain! Come with the real thing. Come with Physics! We're sick of analogies. Maybe you got used to all that 'anal' stuff at the monastery and can't kick the habit...

    .

    "As the cake rises/ expands, all the raisins are moving apart... Do you understand the usefulness of analogies"

    a. What's the logic of converting space and time into physical objects (Oh, I forgot, you didn't define the word 'object'.)

    b. So how is your thought exp diff than Aristotle's who 'logically' deduced that heavier rocks fall faster? I thought idiots like you criticized Ari for not doing hands-on experiments. Now, it turns out that you propose that thought exp are sufficient to test your theories. 180º turn!

  • 8. "it is the force of gravity which acts upon matter"

    .

    Please draw 'a' force! Then, maybe we can accept that the surface of this object you call 'force' comes up against the surface of the rock. (Oh, I forgot. yes, you didn't define the word 'object'. You don't know what an object is yet. And that's the most important word of Physics!) Mother Nature does not recognize concepts such as force or mass. She runs her shop only with objects, specifically, with atoms.

  • 9. "Just because Bill Gaede says this or that about science does not mean that it IS so!"

    .

    Correct! In Science, it is objective. The theory is either rational or irrational.

    youstupidrelativist com/02Sci/03SciRel html

    "that does not mean the theory is wrong"

    In Science, there are no correct/incorrect, right or wrong theories. There are only rational and irrational theories. This is an objective standard.

  • 10. "Why MUST there be a 'physical object' preventing mercury drifting away from the sun?"

    This is where a piece of shit like you shows that he doesn't know the first thing about Physics. Then, idiot fin adds that he doesn't do 'physics' with magic.

    So what is this action-at-a-distance nonsense, idiot fin? Do you invoke God? Angels? How do you do your gravitational magic at your monastery? Do you throw concepts at Merk to keep this object in its orbit?

  • 11. It's when an idiot like fin asks such a startling Q that blood boils! It means that he never understood anything about Physics. yet he claims to know it all. Typical of ignoramuses! No wonder he can't define the word 'object' and runs away from the requirement.

  • 12. "Space IS expanding and the sun DOES bend it. That is NOT the analogy."

    .

    I'm glad you clarified that the expansion and bending of space is not some of that monastic anal stuff, fin. Please draw space before you expand or bend 'it'! Make a mockup of space ad bring 'it' to the next conference. What does space look like, idiot fin? Point to a site anywhere on the Internet where they have a picture of space. No other objects please! JUST space!

  • 13. The great failure of Mathematics is that for the last 10,000 years the idiots of this religion have regarded space to be a physical object. Today, the members of this guild stretch 'it' and warp 'it'. Yet, not one can draw 'it'. And, of course, it is not surprising that not one mathematician who calls himself a 'physicist' can define the word 'object'.

  • 14. A mathematician is an individual who does 'physics' and physical experiments with concepts.

  • 15. "the guy who disproved Einstein"

    .

    In Science, we neither prove nor disprove. Science is not in the business of arriving at the truth. Proof, truth, evidence... are all subjective opinions. Science is objective. In Science, a theory is either rational or irrational.

  • @bgaede So you keep saying. But you ALSO claim that you have managed to debunk relativity. Not everyone agrees with you. For good reasons.

  • 3. "The surface of balloon is part of the analogy"

    .

    We don't do Philosophy in Physics. Analogies, poetry, figures of speech are okay as closing arguments, not as the main course. In Physics, you must first explain your theory. You can always 'decorate' it at the end of your prez with a punchline or closing argument or summary statement.

  • 4. "galaxy superclusters are moving away from each other. I'm well aware that our own and the Andromeda galaxy are moving towards each other"

  • @bgaede Why do you put speech marks around something YOU concocted? To make it appear as if you're quoting me is disingenuous. You wouldn't want to mislead your other comment reader now, would you?

  • @bgaede Did you read the description under that picture? Here it is again in case you glossed over it:

    Two-dimensional analogy of spacetime distortion. Matter changes the geometry of spacetime, this (curved) geometry being interpreted as gravity. White lines do not represent the curvature of space but instead represent the coordinate system imposed on the curved spacetime, which would be rectilinear in a flat spacetime.

  • @bgaede Hawking is not my 'top guru'. Sure, he's done some very interesting work on the subject of black holes. Feynman, Sagan, Degrasse-Tyson and Lawrence Krauss have taught me more than Hawking though.

    Planets travel in elliptical orbits, not circular as you suggest, mercury particularly so. Matter is attracted to matter. Matter in motion can overcome, or be balanced by this gravitational attraction.

  • @bgaede You're the guy who said, and I paraphrase from memory: In physics we don't have experts.

    The significance of c is that no matter what speed you're travelling and no matter which direction you're travelling in you will measure it to be be the same. Two people can measure the same light whilst travelling at 100MPH in opposite directions, yet they will BOTH arrive at the figure of 670,634,982MPH. Has it dawned on you how counter-intuitive this is yet?

  • @bgaede We are talking about the MEASUREABLE relationships between objects in motion.

    A force can be represented by an arrow, or a series of diagrams where each subsequent diagram represents a different moment in time - sometimes put together in the form of an animation.

  • @bgaede As I said in another comment. I don't know of an alternative word which accurately represents spacetime. Spacetime is the fabric of reality which 'contains' matter, energy etc. It is NOT made OF atoms. It is not made of anyTHING we can put another name to. But it DOES have properties which can be understood by realising that the speed of light is finite which means that space and time are NOT.

  • @bgaede "Does time have direction?" Yes, it moves forward at a rate of approximately one day every 24 hours.

    "...what are the names of the 3 spacial dimensions?"

    It depends where you are. My up-down, left-right, forward and backwards are alligned differently to yours, assuming you're on the other side of the atlantic.

  • @bgaede Because local gravity is stronger than the expansion between distant superclusters. If you can't tell how literally the analogy should be taken, then you need to read up on it again. You must have missed a few things the first time round.

  • 3. "'contains'... energy"

    a. Why did you put quotes around 'contains'? It either contains or not!

    There's really no analogy a la GR. It's straight forward. There are no CONCEPTS breaking up or stretching of CONCEPTS. A piece of shit like you still doesn't understand the diff b/w an object and a concept. Therefore, you think that placing a rock on a surface you call 'justice' can warp 'it'. In Science, we do not place objects on concepts, idiot fin.

    GR is very, very easy, fin. GR says only ONE thing: that space is a physical object, pretty much like a net or trampoline. Relativity warps this reified CONCEPT and tells the world that a planet such as Mercury doesn't drift out of the SS because a wall of warped space PHYSICALLY prevents it.

    Is there something beyond this that relativity says? I would certainly like to hear it.

  • 3. "Is your 'rope model' an analogy?"

  • 5. "I don't know the mechanism behind gravity"

    Well, you should not play hooky from Sunday School so much, fin. In your religion, warped space is credited for preventing Merk from flying out. In the religion of Quantum, it is negative momentum transferred by gravitons.

    You keep asking this Q about your religion, but never answer it. Does GR say that gravity is a consequence of warped space/ST? Y or N? I don't care about anything else that GR might say. Does GR claim that gravity is geometry? If so, it is not I, but you who has raised a strawman.

    That's exactly what we do here at the BG School of Phyz. GR, QM and ST are shown for what they are: pseudoscience, religion, reifications.

  • 3. "objects with MASS cause a curvature in... spacetime"

    You haven't told us what an object is. And you haven't confirmed idiot Hawking's claim that ST is an object. So you cannot talk about the curvature of ST until you identify ST as an object and define what you mean by 'object'. Your claim is poppycock.

  • 4. "where you get a 'wall of warped space' from"

    What an idiot you are, fin! WHAT PHYSICAL OBJECT prevents Merk from leaving the SS? Doesn't YOUR GR religion claim that it is warped space, a depression in ST?

    youstupidrelativist com/01Math/04Grav/01AccelnoG html

    Because the mathematicians reify concepts. They call themselves 'physicists' to insinuate that their religion has something to do with the real world.

  • 8. "do you concede that some maths is incorporated into physics ?"

    Absolutely NOT! Physics ONLY deals with QUALITATIVE physical interpretations. In the cases I exemplified, we explain what each factor in the equations the idiots of Math have used to describe phenomena for centuries mean. These variables were invented by Man. Mother Nature has no idea what a meter or a lb is.

  • 9. "Spacetime has 3 spacial dimentions... and one time dimention"

    So, if it has 3 dimensions it is an object, correct? Or is ST a concept like love? Please decide once and for all. If you believe that ST doesn't fit into either category, please tell the crowd under what category it fits in the alternative and how that category differs from objects and concepts.

  • 10. "you are moving forward through time"

    Not at all. I'm moving through air. Perhaps in your demented world the monks convinced you that you are moving thru time. Please draw a picture of time or point to 'it' somewhere on the Internet so we can see what object you are slicing in two.

  • 11. "You're getting older Bill"

    That's an artificial proposal which is divorced from Science. In Science, we don't get older. In Science, we merely change our appearance. We get wrinkled, grow white hairs, tits droop... Getting 'older' belongs to ordinary speech. The statement has nothing to do with Science.

  • 12. "The 3 spacial one's can be viewed as one"

    WTF does this mean, idiot fin? Width ALWAYS runs perpendicular to height. How can you imagine them as one, fin? What sense can such poppycock possibly make to an idiot like you? Do you just blurt out whatever comes out of your ass? Do you even bother to check whether it makes any sense?

    .

    "you've seen a space-time diagram?"

    Is that the one where this idiot Feynman ran time perpendicular to width? Breathtaking!

  • @bgaede If you want to represent motion or displacement only, but don't need to specify direction, then you can use a space-time diagram. You're the one calling everyone else idiots, yet YOU fail to understand HOW a space-time diagram can be useful.

    The hypocrisy of you calling Feynman an idiot, is hilarious!

  • 1. "my definition differs from yours"

    Irrelevant. In Science, you must justify your definition. Any stupid idiot like you can say that an object is 'anything'. That's a synonym. It's not a definition. That's why you ran away. You can't defend your 'definition' because you don't have one. Yet you claim to do 'physics' in spite of the fact that Physics invokes objects. It's glaring cowardice.

  • 2. "IF the earth WAS rolling along a 'wall' of 'space'...'

    .

    Please don't take my side of the argument, fin. Stay on your side. All you have to do is explain WHAT physical object keeps Earth from flying away. You have yet to tell the jurors WHAT object prevents the planets from drifting out of the SS. GR states that 'it' is the CONCEPT space/ST. GR has reified this concept and uses 'it' as a curved wall.

  • 3. "analogies are not supposed to be taken LITERALLY!"

    .

    Unfortunately for you, in Phyz, ALL explanations are taken literally. It is in religion where they try to mislead the public with figures of speech and parables. Mother Nature runs her shop with real 3D atoms, not with reified concepts. Every phenomenon in the U is carried out with 3D entities at any level you wish to inspect.

  • 4. Therefore, the explanation of any phenomenon of nature had better be amenable to illustration. You should be able to make a movie of any theory of Physics. Physics deals only with objects.

  • 5. "relationships in the physical world can be measured"

    Irrelevant for the purposes of Science. In Science, we don't measure anything. In Science, the first thing we do is kill the witness. No observers allowed! Testimonials are outlawed. In Science, we only explain.

  • 6. "These can and have been tested, so they have predictive powers"

  • 7. "Spacetime differs from a solid 'object' because it is measurable in terms of 4 dimentions, not 3"

    .

    Does ST have width? Y or N? If so, it has shape. If it has shape, ST is an object by definition. You have no say in the matter after you define the word 'object'. Otherwise, define what an object is if not 'that which has shape'.

  • 8. "don't need to specify direction, then you can use a space-time diagram"

    Each arrow in a ST diagram points to what, idiot fin?

    "can be useful"

    In Science, we have no use for usefulness. In Science, we merely wish to understand.
