billslugg replied to the thread Question Isn't expansion just a lorentz transformation through time?.Class! Come to order. Did I hear someone using all CAPS!! tsk tsk The only "t=0" around here is how long my cigarette breaks seem! -
billslugg replied to the thread Question Isn't expansion just a lorentz transformation through time?.Space and time are inextricably linked. It takes time to get wherever you are going. This cannot be disputed. Thus they are linked. Any...

Like.
This is excellent advice and should be taken very seriously. Not a screen. A book. -

billslugg replied to the thread Negative Mass exists, Newton's Laws opposite.I have no interest in anything outside of the mainstream. Best of luck to you.

billslugg replied to the thread Space Compression Theory of Gravity.I don't understand GR thus I am unable to comment on any GR point. That each observer sees themselves as unchanged proves that time...

billslugg replied to the thread Negative Mass exists, Newton's Laws opposite.EM waves have zero rest mass but are never at rest. All EM waves have mass equivalent to their energy.
-
billslugg replied to the thread Space Compression Theory of Gravity.Every observer has an absolute reference for the rate at which time passes since every observer's clock runs at the same rate as...
-
billslugg replied to the thread Space Compression Theory of Gravity.There is an absolute reference frame for velocity, referenced to CMBR. There is no such absolute for position, every position sees...

billslugg replied to the thread Space Compression Theory of Gravity.Lorentz contraction is an optical illusion due to the finite speed of light. The item itself does not contract in its own reference frame.
