Unification of space and time : Relativity

Good people should be braver than bad people. Educated minds should be braver than ignorants. Believers should be braver than nonbelievers...

Can someone explain to me how we stand on earth according to this theory?

[paralaks]

@johnsiah The animation in this video is simplified but as you have noticed it is confusing too. watch?NR=1&v=DbhuRcmSkMg is a precise representation. It's like earth is sucking everything towards is center. Hope it makes sense :)

?

Time passage is based on the distance that the speed of light travels. What if there was only mass in the universe and no light. Would time exist?

[paralaks]

@EGMAG That definition is not correct. Hence, in a black room a clock will continue ticking, a bug will continue walking etc.

[paralaks]

@paralaks That would be an atomic clock as far as I remember. The vibrations of atoms used to prove that time was slowing down as a space shuttle was moving towards earth (hence gravity).

This is idiotic and a problem in understanding electric power, for where it’s initiated and how?

Einstein theories because it’s so important now, stops progress and doesn’t let the new idea of TENSION as gravity to be resourced,I know that we have to believe in something stable but if we have something that proves that the theory is flowed than why we need to publish this longer,and why you need to make a video here,where the Youth learns nowadays.

This is “precious”, but wrong scientifically.

@paralaks thanks...so the moon is actually getting closer and closer to us?

lol the poster replied to himself in the top comments. i wonder if he responded to that email..... relativity might be at play here.....

[porterbot17]

Haha! 2:36 I actually lolled. buddy's do looks like the stormtrooper helmet from Spaceballs, made of afro!

•note, "Quantum States" is the key to ( Time Travel ! ) how to Stabilizes mass when reaching the speed of ligth !!.. through - Negative Zero temps ..............! ( mass should stay the same and should not increase when in an Quantum state ) that's my hypothesis.. you can pay me later after you prove it !! Antony Fears 8-24-2011
