I never thought too deep into Einsteins theory. I have wondered about ufo's though. Here is a related thought though on time travel. There is a short commercial before the short (15 or 20 second) video. After you watch the video you can wait and it will auto-play some more without the commercial.

I looked in to that. It's from a partnership in geriatric medicine, called "Grandfather Pair-o-Docs."LtBadd wrote:image0351.jpg
Noddy, I agree there are some great minds here.noddybrian wrote:Wow - this has to be the strangest " off topic " yet ! clearly there are some great minds here being used at less than their true potential in their current jobs - not sure if the academic community is ready to be challenged by alternate theories of space / time / gravity yet - they tend to have a set mind once one theory becomes accepted - even if you can prove something new they stick to the accepted version of things - maybe if welding becomes too mundane it would worth applying to the " Star Gate " program ? !
I disagree on the academic community being challenged.
If you work with or know scientists, you'll find that most are thirsty for new theories.
They rightly tear new theories to shreds since that is the basis of the scientific method.
If it survives, it warrants further investigation. Weak ones die early.
The only ones that stick around without merit are the ones which are not scientific theories, but ideas that non-scientists really want to be true. Wanting something to be true doesn't make it so and science says it ain't so lest it is testable and follows from a narrative which is testable/provable all the way back to fundamentals.

Quite true, John,
But, as it stands, my theory is no more or less provable than dark matter or dark energy, as science can only imply them, not observe them at this point. I would love to be proven wrong, or proven right. Either is acceptable, so long as we have quantifiable data from direct observation.

Steve, but your theory has the narrative I mentioned.
It isn't coming out of vacuum because you want it to be true, even if you do.
Your footings are based in a heritage of scientific background going back quite far.
That heritage welcomes challenge, in opposition to the comment made by noddybrian.
Put another way, there are no scientific conspiracies.
Scientists are the last people who would reject something to preserve status quo.
That's my only point.

Sadly, science (as a community) has a long history of resisting new ideas even in the face of evidence. Acceptance of significant change comes slowly, when it flies in the face of what you've studied and believed to be true. Granted, the change does come, but rarely is it instant. This, too, I suppose is the scientific method, opposing a new idea until sufficiently convinced by the evidence.

Interject all the recent info on studies done that involve use of mice that gave incomplete data. Even though there are better ways ( still sometimes animal based studies I'm not anti animal study ) but the structure to maintain and rely on use of the same processes due to already invested $ trumps scientific theory.
I have more questions than answers

EINSTEIN?
Did I dial the wrong number here?

"Gravity as Curved Spacetime. ... Gravity feels strongest where spacetime is most curved, and it vanishes where spacetime is flat. This is the core of Einstein's theory of general relativity, which is often summed up in words as follows: "matter tells spacetime how to curve, and curved spacetime tells matter how to move".
The graphic representation of matter in space-time is a "fabric", curved by the presence of matter, like a bowling ball on a trampoline (as an easy analogy). This assumes, both graphically and in his math, that space-time is an infinitely compressible fluid.
Place that trampoline fabric on a swimming pool, edges sealed... The water then represents an incompressible fluid. Put your bowling ball in the middle, and you still get curved space-time around the ball. What do you get, displaced some distance from the ball? Fabric above the zero point, sloping away toward the edge. This neatly explains matter in the universe moving apart and accelerating, and also explains the Pioneer anomaly, which future missions did not adequately investigate.

I think you would enjoy non-newtonian physics, quantum physics and particle physics. While math heavy, they will give you insight into your theory and possibly a way to model the theory. By 'insight into your theory' -- I mean that in a good way. It is purported that Einstein said himself that he thought his theory was incomplete and he was unable to get a unified theory. Your thoughts and theories are a good thing and I encourage you to explore them. Unfortunately, math is a prime language in physics and it will be math heavy. However, the systems are eye-opening and jaw dropping when the math is understood.Otto Nobedder wrote:I think Einstein got it wrong. Close, but wrong.
