Time
dilation has to be taken into consideration in the GPS/INS systems of any
commercial airliner to put us safely over the runway threshhold in bad
weather. There are thousands of experimental verifications of the veracity of
time dilation, many with particle halflives at varying velocities in
accelerators, but others in the most practical aspects of modern life. As an
aside, accelerators have to be built to take the tremendous impact of
particles moving at relativistic velocities... General
Relativity in the Global Positioning System & NTS-2 GPS Flying Clocks
The
Global Position System (GPS) consists of 24 earth-orbiting satellites, each
carrying accurate, stable atomic clocks. Four satellites are in each of six
different orbital planes, of inclination 55 degrees with respect to earth's equator.
Orbital periods are 12 hours (sidereal), so that the apparent position of a
satellite against the background of stars repeats in 12 hours. Clock-driven
transmitters send out synchronous time signals, tagged with the position and
time of the transmission event, so that a receiver near the earth can
determine its position and time by decoding navigation messages from four
satellites to find the transmission event coordinates, and then solving four
simultaneous one-way signal propagation equations. Conversely, gamma-ray
detectors on the satellites could determine the space-time coordinates of a
nuclear event by measuring signal arrival times and solving four one-way
propagation delay equations. Apart
possibly from high-energy accelerators, there are no other engineering
systems in existence today in which both special and general relativity have
so many applications. The system is based on the principle of the constancy
of c in a local inertial frame: the Earth-Centered Inertial or ECI frame.
Time dilation of moving clocks is significant for clocks in the satellites as
well as clocks at rest on earth. The weak principle of equivalence finds
expression in the presence of several sources of large gravitational
frequency shifts. Also, because the earth and its satellites are in free
fall, gravitational frequency shifts arising from the tidal potentials of the
moon and sun are only a few parts in 1016 and can be neglected. The
Sagnac effect has an important influence on the system. Since most GPS users
are at rest or nearly so on earth's surface, it would be highly desirable to
synchronize clocks in a rotating frame fixed to the earth (an Earth-Fixed,
Earth-Centered Frame or ECEF Frame). However because the earth rotates, this
is prevented by the Sagnac effect, which is large enough in the GPS to be
significant. Inconsistencies occurring in synchronization processes conducted
on the Earth's surface by using light signals, or with slowly moving portable
clocks, are path-dependent and can be many dozens of nanoseconds, too large
to tolerate in the GPS. Thus the Sagnac effect forces a different choice for
synchronization convention. Also, the path of a signal in the ECEF is not
"straight." In the GPS, synchronization is performed in the ECI
frame; this solves the problem of path-dependent inconsistencies. Several
sources of relativistic effects enter in determining the unit of time, the SI
second as realized by the U. S. Naval Observatory (USNO). For a clock fixed
on earth, time dilation arising from earth's spinning motion can be viewed
alternatively as a contribution, in the ECEF frame, to the total effective
gravitational potential which also includes contributions arising from
earth's non-sphericity. Earth-fixed clocks placed on the same equipotential
surface of this effective field all beat at the same rate. Over the span of
geological time, the earth's figure has distorted so that it nearly matches
one of these gravitational equipotentials--the earth's geoid at mean sea
level. The SI second is defined by the rate of atomic clocks on the geoid.
This rate is determined to sufficient accuracy, relative to clocks at
infinity, by three effects: time dilation due to earth's spin, and frequency
shifts due to the monopole and quadrupole potentials of earth. In General
Relativity (GR), coordinate time, such as is expressed approximately by a
slow-motion, weak-field metric, covers the solar system. The proper time
elapsed on a moving clock depends on the clock's position and velocity in the
fields of nearby masses, and can be computed in terms of the elapsed
coordinate time if the velocities, positions, and masses are known.
Conversely, the elapsed coordinate time can be computed by integrating
corrections to the proper time. The
concept of coordinate time in a local inertial frame is established for the
GPS as follows. In the local ECI frame, imagine a network of atomic clocks at
rest and synchronized using constancy of c. To each real, moving clock apply
corrections to yield a paper clock which then agrees with one of these
hypothetical clocks in the underlying inertial frame, with which the moving
clock instantaneously coincides. The time resulting from such corrections is
then a coordinate time, free from inconsistencies, whose rate is determined
by clocks at rest on the earth's rotating geoid. Relativistic
effects on satellite clocks can be combined in such a way that only two
corrections need be considered. First, the average frequency shift of clocks
in orbit is corrected downward in frequency by 446.47 parts in 1012. This is
a combination of five different sources of relativistic effects:
gravitational frequency shifts of ground clocks due to earth's monopole and
quadrupole moments, gravitational frequency shifts of the satellite clock,
and second-order Doppler shifts from motion of satellite and earth-fixed
clocks. Second, if the orbit is eccentric, an additional correction arises
from a combination of varying gravitational and motional frequency shifts as
the satellite's distance from earth varies. This correction is periodic and
is proportional to the orbit eccentricity. For an eccentricity of 0.01, the
amplitude of this term is 23 ns. Due to a shortage of computer resources on
satellites in the early days of GPS, it was decided that this latter
correction was to be the responsibility of software in GPS receivers. It is a
correction which must be applied to the broadcast time of signal
transmission, to obtain the coordinate time epoch of the transmission event
in the ECI frame. At the
time of launch of the first NTS-2 satellite (June 1977), which contained the
first Cesium clock to be placed in orbit, there were some who doubted that
relativistic effects were real. A frequency synthesizer was built into the
satellite clock system so that after launch, if in fact the rate of the clock
in its final orbit was that predicted by GR, then the synthesizer could be
turned on bringing the clock to the coordinate rate necessary for operation.
The atomic clock was first operated for about 20 days to measure its clock
rate before turning on the synthesizer. The frequency measured during that
interval was +442.5 parts in 1012 faster than clocks on the ground; if left
uncorrected this would have resulted in timing errors of about 38,000
nanoseconds per day. The difference between predicted and measured values of
the frequency shift was only 3.97 parts in 1012, well within the accuracy
capabilities of the orbiting clock. This then gave about a 1% validation of
the combined motional and gravitational shifts for a clock at 4.2 earth radii.
At
present one cannot easily perform tests of relativity with the system because
the SV clocks are actively steered to be within 1 microsecond of Universal
Coordinated Time (USNO). Several
relativistic effects are too small to affect the system at current accuracy
levels, but may become important as the system is improved; these include
gravitational time delays, frequency shifts of clocks in satellites due to
earth's quadrupole potential, and space curvature. This
system was intended primarily for navigation by military users having access
to encrypted satellite transmissions which are not available to civilian
users. Uncertainty of position determination in real time by using the
Precise Positioning code is now about 2.4 meters. Averaging over time and
over many satellites reduces this uncertainty to the point where some users
are currently interested in modeling many effects down to the millimeter
level. Even without this impetus, the GPS provides a rich source of examples
for the applications of the concepts of relativity. New and
surprising applications of position determination and time transfer based on
GPS are continually being invented. Civilian applications include for
example, tracking elephants in Africa, studies of crustal plate movements,
surveying, mapping, exploration, salvage in the open ocean, vehicle fleet
tracking, search and rescue, power line fault location, and synchronization
of telecommunications nodes. About 60 manufacturers now produce over 350
different commercial GPS products. Millions of receivers are being made each
year; prices of receivers at local hardware stores start in the neighborhood
of $200.

requirements for the NTS-2 mission called for cesium controlled frequency
operation after full power was available, following solar panel deployment.
The first FTS cesium standard to be used, designated as PRO-5, was locked up
(Fig. 19) on the first attempt on Day 190, 1977, at 1418 UTC following a frequency
tune to bring the PRO-5 quartz oscillator frequency within the VCXO tuning
range of the cesium resonance frequency. Figure 19 presents the theoretical
range minus the observed range (T-O) values (13) which are calculated from
measurements collected at a one-minute interval from the Panama site. These
(T-O) values yield a measure of the spacecraft clock offset with respect to
the PMA clock. Knowledge of the station clock offset with respect to the USNO
Master clock permits the spacecraft to be referenced to USNO. Figure 20
presents a plot of (T-O) values (13) from PMA over a six day span. The (T-O)
slope gives the frequency offset of +442.5 pp1012 with respect to the PMA
clock. Inclusion of the PMA frequency offset of +0.6 pp1012 produces an NTS measured
value of +443.1 pp1012. Comparison of this value to the predicted value of
the relativistic offset of +445.0 pp1012 gives a difference of -3.1 pp1012.
On Day 215, 1977, the NTS-2 PRO-5 output signal was offset (Fig. 21) through
the use of a frequency synthesizer (4). Closer frequency synchronization to
the UTC rate is obtainable by use of cesium C-field tuning which provides a
resolution of 1.3 pp1013. Before applying the C-field tune, the NTS-2
frequency offset was re-determined using the CBD station. Figure 22 presents
a plot of UTC (USNO MC No. 1) - UTC (CBD), where CBD denotes the clock used
for the CBD receiver. The slope of this line yields a frequency offset of
18.0 pp1013. Figure 23 presents a plot of (NTS-CBD); a frequency offset of
10.1 pp1013 was measured. Combining these results Figure 24 produced a
frequency offset of +7.9 pp1013. On Day 287, 1977 (14 Oct), a C-field tune of
6 bits was applied. Figure 25 presents a plot of the (T-O)'s after the
C-field tune; a resultant frequency of -6.6 pp1013 was measured. The net
measured change was 14.5 pp1013 which exceeded the expected value by 6.7
pp1013. Figure 26 presents the preliminary results of the C-field tune; the
cause of the small differences are being investigated. A frequency history of
NTS-2 since launch is presented by Figure 27, a split logarithmic scale is
used so that positive and negative values of frequency offset with respect to
UTC (USNO) may be included over a large range. // 19

Relativity and Quantum Cosmology; Space Physics Our
previous analyses of radio Doppler and ranging data from distant spacecraft
in the solar system indicated that an apparent anomalous acceleration is
acting on Pioneer 10 and 11, with a magnitude $a_P\sim 8\times 10^{-8}$
cm/s$^2$, directed towards the Sun (anderson,moriond). Much
effort has been expended looking for possible systematic origins of the
residuals, but none has been found. A detailed investigation of effects both
external to and internal to the spacecraft, as well as those due to modeling
and computational techniques, is provided. We also discuss the methods,
theoretical models, and experimental techniques used to detect and study
small forces acting on interplanetary spacecraft. These include the methods
of radio Doppler data collection, data editing, and data reduction. There is
now further data for the Pioneer 10 orbit determination. The extended Pioneer
10 data set spans 3 January 1987 to 22 July 1998. [For Pioneer 11 the shorter
span goes from 5 January 1987 to the time of loss of coherent data on 1
October 1990.] With
these data sets and more detailed studies of all the systematics, we now give
a result, of $a_P = (8.74 \PM 1.33) \times 10^{-8} \{\rm cm/s}^2$. (Annual
/diurnal variations on top of $a_P$, that leave $a_P$ unchanged, are also
reported and discussed.) Paper: PostScript,

In the
two/ sphere concept, gravity is a Planck Realm phenomenon caused by a micro
singular matrix at the lowest levels of scale in the cosmos.The
"CBR" is the 2.73 Degree K photonic "other side" of this
phenomenon as observed from our frame. I'm
looking for a "gravitational" force equal to about 10 to the minus
8th of the gravitational attraction of the Sun at a distance of 10 billion
kilometers. Lets
start with a sphere of space with a radius of 10 billion Km. Since the tide
of singular gravitation rises close to massive bodies, lets assume we will
need an average of say 10 to the minus 36th....closer to 10 to the minus 33rd
near the sun and 10 to the minus 40th in intergalactic space.... OK, what
is the gravitatational attraction of a black hole with an event horizon
radius 10 to the minus 36th the volume of a sphere of "space" with
a radius of 10 Billion Km?....at a distance of 10 Billion Km? Is it 10 to the
minus 8th that of the parent body?..(the sun) We are
going to be off, for singularity in space pulls from every direction, and as
a spacecraft departs the solar system, the influence of the suns
"gathering effect" diminishes...however, even at 10 billion Km. The
sun is still by far the dominant influence.... Thanks

COMMENTS First
note the difference in units used by Dr. Anderson (Centimeters) and David
(Meters). Upon appropriate conversion, Davids work, based on the average
figures I gave him, works out to -4.5x10-8Cm/sec2. The minus sign indicates a
deceleration...a force acting toward the Sun. This is
astounding! Without complex computers, and working on a remote island with
only averages, coming up with such a number is the equivalent of hitting the
ball over the center field fence at Yankee Stadium! We need a
force about 4 times stronger, however I wanted to be on the low side in my
estimate. All scientists know the Planck length: 10 to the -33rd Cm. I
avoided using that figure, instead selecting 10 to the -36th Cm...a thousand
times smaller volume. My reason is that departiculation/singularization only
begins at 10 to the -33rd Cm... but is complete in the area around 10 to the
-36th. Particle physicists could give us a much more exact figure to work
with. Also,
cosmologically the Sun is "a small potato",.. with a diameter of
860,000 miles. Yet it is a vast, dense, particulate body with almost 20% of
the mass necessary to establish the singular condition from our frame. The
atomic framework of the Sun is laden with singularity (measurements go from
the Suns center, although of course the mass of the Sun itself is excluded
from these calculations). Additionally,
a slight increase in the selected space radius profoundly affects the volume
of space selected...this must be taken into consideration. The Suns'
surrounding space out to 100 million miles is profoundly influenced, so I
expected to be "on the low side" with the figures I gave David. A
properly programmed computer and better Planck dimensions should be able to
give more accurate results. I have
forwarded these findings to appropriate people in both the United States and
in the UK. Taken
with the other simple experiments documented on this site, it can be seen
that slightly modifying Schwarzschild two/ sphere geometry by replacing a
point at its center with the tiny quantum Planck singular realm and applying
General Relativity to the rest of the universe conceptually matches the observed
universe within the limits of present observation. A
universal mass of 10 to the 60th Kg and a radius of 10 to the 40th Cm are
implied. PS: Of
necessity, different quantities require different variables in the
calculation of time dilation, however the two formulae are structually
similar. A relationship between time, space and mass is implied...a
relationship which Einstein of course asserted in proposing his theories. The whole thing ties in with the reason light is observed as a constant from our frame, moving at 299,000Km/Sec measured to 7 or eight decimal places. Within the photonic matrix itself, light occupies the entire universe instantaneously and is related in this "white hole" configuation to the singular, inflationary, "Dark Energy" Planck Realm at the "Black Hole" antipodes. |

I'm sorry
you saw my post as a kind of "put down". It is clear that you
really want to understand my "BS" and make some sense of it! Albert
Einstein's theories started with a concept...a geometric picture in his head.
When
these predictions were compared with very precise measurements...there was a match.
Previously observed observational discrepancies were explained. Bohr and
others likewise conceptualized the universe as a completely quantatized
entity from the bottom of scale to the top. Their
quantum mechanical theory likewise made precise predictions which could be
and were tested in the laboratory with great success. Quantum
effects dominate the observed universe at the smaller scales as observed from
our frame. As the scale increases, their observed effect on reality seems (as
we observe it) to diminish, but nevertheless quantum effects can be measured
even at macroscopic scales. Some
people, including Einstein, felt and feel that QM and SRT/GR are incompatable
conceptually. They are not, however seeing the relationship between these
ideas does require a special ability to conceive how they complement each
other, and then, based on observations, put SRT/GR and QM in an appropriate
geometric model which unifies the concepts. Einstein
realized for many good reasons, that a universe in higher than 4D would not
particulate. He therefore concluded (a bit hastily and emotionally) that the
universe could not exist in a higher geometry than 4D. I guess
he didn't himself conceptualize that the universe might be observed on two,
not one 4D tracks and thus particulate in two ways. Even Einstein during
those days regarded singulaity as a matter of geometry...vestigial and not an
actual massive part of the structure of the universe. Dirac
predicted the existence of antimatter, but he knew that matter and antimatter
were incompatable, so he failed to develop a dual universe himself. Einstein
was stonewalled by the failure of higher than 4D universes to particulate.
Dirac was stopped by his knowledge that matter and antimatter were
incompatable, so he proposed an infinate floor of particles, now thought to
be "quantum fluctuations" at the engineering floor of the universe.
To
Einstein and Diracs credit as I just said, neither felt that the singular
realm was any more than a mathematical artifact of the model. The
discovery of quantum theory was the first breakthough...a Plank Realm below
which the universe is massive (not geometric singularity) but
non-particulate. The fact
that 70% of the universe could suddenly be seen to be non-particulate was an
important clue in cosmology. Remember Einstein realized the universe could
not particulate in higher than 4D...suddenly 70% of the universe didn't HAVE
to be particulate! Conceptually,
the fact that most of the universe is non-particulate in nature led to the
second conceptual breakthrough and opened the door to linking SRT/GR and QM. Structually,
a finite, quasi-static, almost rigid universe with two three-spaces and a
single time dimension could exist, NOT on quantum fluctuations, but in
superposition with the antimatter Dirac originally predicted...with time
separation via the Planck Realm (rather than a geometric point) inherent in
the geometry. Matter
and antimatter COULD be superposed! Since the universe is an entity, the mass
of the Baryonic matter in both three spaces could be detected (Jan Oort) but
each three space "hemisphere" would be "over the horizon"
from the other. Space is
not empty! The Planck Realm is everywhere- and massive. This realm occupies a
certain geometric locastion within the universal geometry. Planck Realm
singularity explains even the anomolous acceleration of the Pioneer 10 and 11
spacecraft! We read
one particulate side of the universe from the other in time dilation. Photons
by definition and experiment are universally entangled, so reading one side
from the other becomes conceptually possible. In this
configuration, the universe is a rapidly pulsating energy mass, particulating
on 4D event horizon surfaces at the edge of the planck realm- and read within
the energy matrix by living things remotely in time dilation. As a
whole, the universe is rigid- quasi-static...an almost infinite set of
invariant frames. This brings me to a final thought. Most
people cannot even conceptualize a 4D "surface", let alone a
bi-particulate mirror geometry in 7 foundational dimensions! His ability to
conceptualize a universe in 4D made Einstein, Einstein. The ability to
conceptualize a universe completely quanticized and the implications of that
as observed at different scales made Bohr, Bohr. Ned
Wright assets on his site that Einsteins static (or presumably the
quasi-static configuration) is wrong. I suspect
that Einstein's intuition was right and Ned Wright is wrong. I posted an item
on this forum entitled "Olbers paradoz...Isn't". That post
explains why I believe Einstein was conceptually right and Ned Wright is
conceptually wrong. The universe IS filling up with Photons as observed from
our frame. However it is not filled with them at the frame we happen to
observe it, only at the "big Bang", Schwarzschilds "photonic
antipode". I could
speak about Stephen Hawkings magnificent contribution to the 7D
geometry...his "bean shaped" entropy reversing antipode, but space
is limited here. Kip
Thorne said his geometry teacher swore at the kids and made them toe the
line, but he clearly explaned geometry. The secret of the universe is in
conceptual understanding. The
secret to conceptual understanding is in an understanding of geometry and the
actual relationships and geometry expressed in complex mathematiucal
formulae. Once we understand the concept, the reason why an automobile and a key fall with the same acceleration from identical positions with repect to the center of the Earth is no longer a mystery to us. |

Anyone
interested should go to Ned Wrights Cosmology Tutorial and view his recent
slide show on Einstein (presntly the first item on his list). Anyone
who thinks space is true and blue flat will especially find his observations
and the graphs he posts interesting. His comment that a group of Italians who
have concluded that dark energy does not exist, indicate their interest in
fine wine corresponds with my comment that space is Italian flat. No wonder
Columbus left Italy and sought help for his ventures from Spain! Space is
hyperspherical and closed- period. In
addition to Neds graph plots which are right on a dark energy universe, Dr
Wright points out something else which is highly significant... That 1.02
Omega is HIGHLY significant and indicates that space in the universe is
destined for closure, slowly at first and then- Zonk. Now for
Olbers paradox. Ned points out that in a static cosmology, the sky would be
as bright as the surface of a star, and uses this fact to argue against
static cosmologies, favoring dynamic 4D systems. What Ned
doesn't say, however is powerful and profound. In a
finite, closed universe which would by definition be quasi-static, the sky
would be as bright as the sun at the photonic antipodes. From any
frame, the sky would be observed to vary from jet black to brilliant over
cosmological time- and back again. The black sky would gradually become
punctuated with stars, becomming brighter (or darker depending on which of
the two three-spaces the universe was being observed from) eventually
becomming brilliant at the photonic antipode per SRT or jet black and
starless at the singular antipode. Lets go
on a "journey" within the quasi-static model! Actually it is only a
journey as we observe it.. "we" really remain at the same place for
eternity. I guess
the best place to illustrate from would be about 4,000 miles about the Earths
singular center at the beginning of time. At first,
everything at 360 degrees is jet black, but slowly over eons the sky fills
with stars, without an Earth of course, because the sun has not even begun to
exist yet! Gradually
a portion of space in the sky brightens and we find ourselves in the middle
of a cloud, which begins to rotate. The center of the cloud brightens and
becomes the Sun, but as yet there is still no Earth. 4,000
miles under us a growing asteroid object forms. As it grows, it becomes
liquid and more massive, attracting more mass. At our frame, we feel an
increasing acceleration due to gravity. The
growing Earth eventually lies only 45 or so miles below us, with an
acceleration from our frame of 1G. Its atmosphere is Methane and Nitrogen,
later with Carbon Dioxide and water vapor. Finally
as the Earth further changes, and life evolves, we stand and live on its
surface, moving about only a tiny fraction of the radius of the universe,
"coordinate shift". In 7D,
the sky eventually becomes dark again, all stars, including our own Sun,
burning out. All mass,
however, each frame of reference in the universe remains invariant- including
ourselves. The whole structure remains intact. It has no edge or
center...except any randomly selected invariant frame. Gradually,
the dark sky begins to brighten. Because
of inverse mapping we again observe the universe, growing younger and more
youthful rather than older (but losing the quality of our consciousness) ,
and watch the sky brighten until it is brighter than the surface of the sun,
at which time it begins to darken again. Each atom, each planet, each star
remains at its invariant frame. Over
eternity, we experience life over and over again through the miracle of
photonic observation, and because of coordiante shift, we experience
phylogenic development. Olbers paradox is not a paradox at all. The bright sky is real and true...the sky is just not observed that way at this particular frame of reference, midway in cosmic development. |

Invariant
frames are rendered invarient (and complexity conserved) in the 7D GR/Planck
Realm Universe both at macroscopic and submicroscopic levels. At the
macroscopic scale, lets take the Earth and planet "X" at the far
reaches of the universe as observed by us. Reality as we experience it, and
living things there experience it, exists at the higher levels of scale
(though we always feel positioned about "in the middle"!. From our
scale, the complexity of our bodies is separated (and protected) a universe
away from the complexity on the other planet. At the
submicroscopic scales on both planets we see random events occuring according
to the laws of probability in quantum mechanics. However, the key is that the
numbers of these events are almost infinite! Each
event is unpredictable, but taken together, the probability of the given set
of events which produce certain "particles" which in turn support
the exisitence of life is almost certain! (The word "almost"
relates to the second law of thermodynamics. The second law itself DICTATES a
finite, NOT an infinite universe, makes possible motion and change and thus
our reality.) The
existence and construction of the proper set of possibilities is related to
the observation and control of the universe by the "collective
consciousness" which, existing right on the event horizon, sees through
every eye and has a grip on everything which goes on, relating information. Where the
universe and we came from is a meaningless question in an eternal universe,
since the universe exists only as it is observed anyway, and without us
consciously observing it, it ceases to exist. If only I existed, the universe
would be in danger. For the universe and me to exist, it must be observed at
every frame.(Now you know why intelligence has such a thirst for
knowledge...and the final end of such a thirst!) Ultimate
reality is found at each frame of reference, but the whole of consciousness
supports the parts. The rest of consciousness protects and continues to
observe the universe while I sleep from the collective frame at the higher
scales. From my scale, I never die. I have a frame in which only the nature
and quality of my consciousness varies over what I call "my life". I told
you earlier that the dynamic universe we observe precludes a totally static
universe. However the resolution of the universe is incredible, so the actual
proper time pulsation which we cross/read at higher scales in time dilation
as "cosmological time" must be very rapid. Since we
"cross-read" the universe very slowly, the actual universe is
actually "set in concrete" eternally ahead of us by googles of
pulsations already. We are on a LONG journey, no an ETERNAL journey! We have a
sense, especially I guess on this side of time, of "free will" and
the power of choice. Ultimately, however life, by its overall influence defeats the tendancy toward chaos in the universe through complexity. Higher dimensionality in the structure of the universe makes this defeat possible. |

but here
goes this human intuition stuff again. Parents
who were Tsunami victims walking by the sea waiting for the sea to give back
their drowned children; burying dead with items to be used in a presumed
afterlife; comparing our understanding of the universe- or lack thereof- to a
dog touring a dogfood factory (smacks of entropy and complexity!); cosmic
butterflies causing galaxies to form; and then the clincher: "If I was
wasn't here the universe would be a vastly different place". All of
this intuition, whether intended as jest or not comes from our subliminal
understanding of our universe, which on a conscious level, on the 4D event
horizon surfaces from which we observe it, seems to confuse us. If you
were not here, millions of people in the future would never exist, and the
universe would indeed be a vastly different place. In fact, for you at least,
the universe wouldn't exist at all. You and
I...all of us are a part of something much larger than ourselves; a creative
and organizing process which permeates the whole. Its eternal presence,
organizes, stabilizes and gives permanence to each of its almost invariant
frames. Yet each
one of us has been bequeathed individuality (a 4D invariant frame from
conception to "death"), a unique point of view. Also in a unique
way, because we have a certain commonality of frame we can see each other,
communicate, learn and experience "life". The pope
of the Roman Catholic church remarked a few years back that organic evolution
is much more than a hypothesis. As a protestant, I question the doctine of
papal inerrancy, but I will tell you that the pope spoke the absolute truth
when he made that remark. The evidence for organic evolution is so powerful
that to deny the process exists indicates either a lack of education or
religous fanaticism...more often than not- both. The pope
is a deeply religous man. He obviously believes in God and creation, but he
also has the sense to know that an omnipotent God can and will create living
things in any way he sees fit even if our origins seem ever so humble! The pope
also understands the arrogance of redneck fanatics who would tell the
almighty how to proceed in the creative process, or assert that they know
better than God how to proceed. I am also
telling this forum that Quantum Mechanics and Special and General Relativity
are likewise much more than hypotheses. The power
of the evidence that these concepts must form the foundation of our
understanding of reality is so strong that only fanatics would assert they
are but "ideas" or hypotheses. These
things started as ideas between the ears of Einstein, Bohr, Mach,
Schwarzschild and a large group of others, but very, very careful
measurements of the universe point to their veracity. In fact, some of the
most simple observations of the universe: periodicity everywhere, approcimate
sphericity all around us, chiral surfaces and the way objects accelerate in a
gravitational field also indicate their correctness. So what
if the universe is profound, almost magical in its qualities? We are a part
of it, and everything mankind learns and adds to our store of information
likewise indicates we have been around in the past- and will be also in the
future. A great post! |

Hi
Charlie, The
possible engineering instability of the universe was of real concern to Dirac
and he spent quite a bit of time working on aspects of the problem. He as you
know, predicted the existence of antimatter but assumed that matter and
antimatter could not exist in superposition. In the
7-D Einstein connection model with Schwarzschild geometry and a Planck realm
superposition becomes possible. The complex matter antimatter systems can
rest on and balance each other exactly because where they meet at the
singular vortex (not geometric point, but rather a dark energy Planck Realm) Without
time and space to destroy each other, the stability of the two halves of the
universe becomes possible. We observe
the whole system in 4D as a geometric configuation loaded with particulate
structures, ficticious forces and accelerations such as gravity. The
complexity becomes possiible because near the cosmic event horizon from 10 to
the minus 33rd in scale and upward, there is a selective process in which
energy differentiates into quarks, quarks form specific particles, particles
form atoms in fixed ratios and atoms form everything seen at our scale
including us. This
process of differentiation (which obviously involves time and space near the
cosmic event horizon) relates to the way different energy densities behave at
various levels in the time space lattice near the planck realm...the heart of
the creative process and the link to cosmic consciousness and collective
observation and manipulation by life. As the
folks in the Physics department at the University of Manchester UK commented:
"The model is very simple". One might think that conceptualizing 7D
would be difficult, but since when we describe the universe we are really
describing a foundationally 7D system, we have plenty of clues about the
nature of reality in the 4D projections aound us. This
brings us to the beginning of this thread: Of course
artifacts in a grave are of no use, and it is useless for those parents to
wait by the surf of the ocean for their children. However,
we and they will return...our intuition is correct. I'm again reminded of a
Biblical assertion: "behold the mountains shall depart and the hills be
removed, but my mercy will never depart from you." Again, the Bible says
that the Earth endures forever. It also says that the Earth will pass away
and that the works therein will be burned up. Here we go with this intuitive
process again!...it depends on your frame. Cosmologically,
the Earth is eternal, just as all frames of reference in the universe are. Like I
said, the universe we live in is stranger, much stranger than fiction. Best, Sam |

The Pauli
exclusion principle is pretty basic particle physics! It is the standard
explanation for the failure of electron clouds to instantly collapse into the
nucleus! A careful
study of asymetric and symetric states in particle physics will give the
observer some sub-atomic hints (in addition to impressive atronomical
evidence) as to reasons why a dual universe is so likely...that antimatter
and matter can- in fact must- exist closely in order for the particulate
baryonic universe to exist. In
additon to mass, particulate diferences are related to spin, which in turn is
is related to topology and geometric inversion...or as particle physicists
say: up-or down! In a dual
universe we do not walk backwards. We walk forward in geometric inversion
just as we walk "forward" in this universe. Time process is
inviolate. The difference of course, is that because space is closed, the
other hemisphere is experienced in generally decreasing entropy whereas our
hemisphere is observed in generally increasing entropy. Pauli's
exclusion principle rather begs the question as to why electons do not
immediately collapse to the nucleus. It gives a quantum mechanical
explanation for what we observe, but is essentially a statement that
something does happen, and is somewhat lacking conceptually. If the
real reason for the stability of the information at the sub-atomic
level...atoms, particles and electron clouds is, as I suspect, related to
time dilation formulae in GR, getting a full conceptual understanding of the
stability of the proton and atomic structure in general will only be fully
understood as: 1. We
understand that cosmologically the universe is quasi-static...rigid. We ARE
the information- the universe must be understood at the bottom line in the
light of eternity, not time, and thus it is not necessary to look for
information stored in a black hole, and In this
scenario, gravity is a ficticious force created by a multiple of hemispheric
particulate spin forces observed in time dilation. The very unstable atom
seems stable for the same reason a drop of water approaching a liquid
interface seems suspended almost forever in a slow motion film of the event. Photon
compression and rotation approaching 4D event horizons produces forms we call
"electron clouds", "energy levels", "atomic
particles", "matter" and "mass" in sequence
(Einstein's famous forumla). Finally,
I do not believe this posting og yours is coincidental. You are definately
following these recent threads on the forum and are very knowledeable. I think
science really is close to a basic conceptual understanding of the link
between quantum mechanics, SRT and GR...and of the basic stucture of reality.
However an enormous amount of work remains as we "flesh out", develop and explore the technological implications of what we have on our hands here. |

There is
some great basic stuff you posted here including an article by Sean Carroll,
who works with Dr. Michael Turner at the University of Chicago. You may
remember that I mentioned Dr Turner had actually calculated the radius of the
closed, hyperspherical universe using the WMAP Omega Total of 1.02. That
department is very busy investigating cosmological models at this time, as
are the folks at UNC, UCLA, U Penn, The University of Manchester UK and
Cambridge UK. Dr.
Carroll mentions only two possible, plausible causes of acceleration outward
and higher dimensionality is one. Vacuum energy raises more questions than it
answers, and as I said, I'm skeptical about the idea conceptually. In the
dual universe existing on two 4D tracks with a single time process and
inverse mapping, all forces, including gravity, acceleration outward and
probably even the phenomenon we interperet from our frame as
"particulation" on 4D event horizon surfaces are (or
create)ficticious forces which we observe by virtue of our coodinates in the
system as "vacuum energy", gravity or chemical substances. Remember
that matter and energy are forms of the same thing...concentrated energy is
matter. In the
higher D scenario, because of dualism, the rapid proper time collapse of the
cosmos is read in time dilation, which from our frame "creates"
space and time in all its vastness. Note how
this fits SRT like a glove. I told Ben that a photon coming out of my lamp is
entangled with a photon emerging from a lamp on the other side of the
universe. In the dual model the two lamps are superposed and inversely
mapped, so the photon coming out of one is obviously entangled with the
other, though, for our purposes the two lamps are also the radius of the
universe away from each other...on the other side of the Planck Realm. There is
now a vast array of laboratory evidence showing that photons are indeed
entangled as SRT and the Lorentz Transformation ultimately infer. Wave
particle duality is tied right up conceptually in all this...and
duality...cross-reading the information in time dilation fits in too. The
observed speed of light from our frame is ultimately derivable from a proper
mathematical treatment of the model. SNAP is still in the planning stages, so I guess any information we get from it as to Cosmic acceleration and dark energy is some years away. Dr. Ned Wright made a pitch on his site for all those interested, and who realize the importance of this work to contact their governmental representatives! He has been appointed to the committee working on the project. |

Hi, I really
liked what Charlie said about making Pi rational...but with the other numbers
such as unity becomming irrational! Pi only
figures into the universe if it has some kind of closed
geometry...hyperbolic, spherical, or oval. GR is
based on spherical geometry. Lets drastically reduce the dimensions to
illustrate. However,
this number of times never comes out exactly even. It is roughly 3.14. One of
the foundational realities of the 4D or 7D GR universe is that it is observed
not on the circumference, the 4D event horizon surfaces where we actually
exist, but rather at the center of the geometry. As a result, our universe
seems euclidean- until we measure it to a high degree of precision. When we
do, we find Omega to be ever so slightly greater than 1. In the
GR/QM/Einstein 7D connection universe, we and everything exist dually on
opposite sides of time, the points at which a diameter intersect the
circumference, yet we observe from the center of the system. How we observe
the universe determines reality, so our ultimate reality is only a projection
of the cosmological condition. The
condition of the universe therefore, because of the irrationality of Pi is
that what we call time is not perfectly circular, and as we observe the
universe, sequentially in unidirectional time process, time flow is more (in
our lower D projection) like a slinky. As we
observe our existence, we never return quite (almost but not exactly) to the
same place. The key
difference between this model and the infinite parallel universe idea, is that
1. The universe is finite in mass 2. The universe is eternal in time and 3.
The universe is the Universe (Hawking) an eternally existing and gradually
modifying entity, in which the role of the complexity of life is to observe
it and therefore bring it into being and to gradually function as a
servomechanism, driving the whole away from chaos and toward
order..eternally. We are
not faced with a circle which is perfect and the math secondary. Because the
condition of the universe on 4D event horizon surfaces relates to our
observation of the universe along the diameter, the mathematical nature of Pi
becomes important in the engineering dynamics of the universe. In fact,
this mathematical irrtionality is reflected in the reality we experience at
the higher levels of scale in the system. |

The
inclusion of a massive, dark energy Planck Realm rather than a geometric
point at the center of Schwarzschild geometry also introduces a certain
chirality into the system of the kind which is observed in nature. It is
clear that if the universe is dual, the two sides are not mirror images of
each other as in the pure Schwarzschild geometry. A Planck Realm at the
center of the system allows for a certain chirality. Chirality is always more
pronounced near the center, central plane or on the 4D hyperspherical
surfaces of a geometric system of this kind. To use an
obvious illustration, the surface of the earth seems not symettrical at all
up close. Since
particulation occurs on 4D event horizon surfaces as the universe is
cross-read in time dilation, (if you want another shock, check the math on
this!) we observe that many sub-atomic events are not necessarily
symettrical...nor would we expect phase transitions and chemical
characterisitcs on both sides of the system to be the same. Yet, each
side makes perfect sense when observed from its own perspective. On our side,
it makes perfect sense that we grow old...that is the way it is. On the other
side, it makes perfect sense to grow young. The time process there flows in
the same direction as (it does on) this side of the universe, but the
universe is hyperspherical. On our
side, arms and legs a a necessary part of existence. On the other side, with
different phases and chemical characteristics, arms and legs, while present,
are not so necessary because everything comes to us naturally, and the whole
physical property picture matches that particular reality. An
eternal finite universe makes some scientists nervous, especially since
consciousness is so critical to the system. Ultimately, the universe is not
secular or emperical. Those approaches simply enhance our technology and lead
us to understand that our universe is as mysterious as mechanical. Likewise,
the fact that utimate reality is found at each frame of reference...that each
person has their own unique perspective on the universe, makes religious
fanatics nervous. The final best model of the universe will be no one persons or groups "baby". By its very nature, the universe belongs to us all. |

Quote
from your post: "I
was watching this week's "Scientific American Frontiers" with Alan
Alda on PBS. They were doing an episode on dark matter, dark energy and the
expansion of the universe. I(t) brushed on the notion of some kind of
conversion to explain the change in the Hubble constant over the history of
the universe. Dark matter is the overriding force pulling the universe toward
collapse. Dark energy is the counterforce driving the universe toward
expansion." It could
be the two are somewhat interchangeable or convertable from one to the other.
Such a conversion would explain the change in the Hubble constant. "Dark
matter is the over-ridig force pulling the universe toward collapse".
The relationship between a force and its direction gets tricky in higher D
than the (traditional) four. It is true that from our frame, the universe is
accelerating outward toward its antimatter (dark matter) side. However, from
our frame, the proper time collapse of the system is into the matter side,
the submicroscopic, not the astronomical. This proper time collapse is
crossread by us in GR time dilation as taking cosmological time, and creates
our stable reality. We are emerging from a white hole or "big
bang". And yet,
the distant universe is accelerating outwards as observed from our frame.
This is a result of foundational higher dimensionality. "Dark
Energy is the counterforce driving the universe toward expansion". There
is one accepted "given" about the Planck Realm, cosmic abyss or
dark energy, whatever we wish to call it. It is balanced and exists
everywhere, making up 73% of the mass of the universe. Depending on whether
we observe the universe from its antimatter or matter side, we see the
universe as moving into the dark energy (black hole) or away from it (white
hole), but the dark energy itself is stable and unseen- but very detectable. Like the
"speed" of light, I suspect the Hubble Constant is constant only
from our frame- and may not be constant even from our frame near the edge of
the observed universe; that there are applicable functions for both of these
relating to the frame from which they are observed. Close to a black hole,
strange things happen to light. The Hubble Constant has to likewise relate to
frame of observation Sorry I missed that program! |

Interesting
thoughts- and I agree except that I don't care for Max Tegmarks infinite
number of parallel universes. Max himself well understands the limitations of
that idea. Basically
I'm on Machs side. I believe the universe is finite in mass (for many
reasons...ask Ned Wright! and is infinite only along its primary and perhaps
secondary time axes. The term
is "eternal", rather than infinite, because only in a completely
static universe is time truly spacelike, and it is clear to me just from the
math of spherical geometry the mathematical irrationality as expressed in Pi
is at the heart of the system. Because
of this irrationality the universe develops skins like an onion. Everything
remains a part of the whole eternally, and the change overall is very slight,
but each time we re-experience the universe, things are slightly
different...in the direction of gradually increasing order. Isn't the
accelerating universe incredible? If ever there was a proof that the universe
exists foundationally in a higher D configuration than 4, that is the proof
of the pudding. The dark
matter may be just the antimatter side of the 7D model as inferred by Jan
Oorts work. David did
some great work which showed very strongly that the anomolous acceleration of
some of our distant spacecraft can be completely accounted for by the mass of
a black hole 10 to the minus 33rd or so of a volume of "space" with
a radius of 10 billion miles! Stuff on
a higher D universe (from very excellent sources such as the Department of
Energy) is starting to hit the net and the emphesis, for mathematical reasons
and the Schwarzschild connection (which relates to correct solutions of GR)
is concentrating on 7D as the foundational configuration. When WMAP
results were first released, 13 papers on the cosmological potential were
published on the net, NONE relating to higher D as explanations for the
observed phenomena. However NASA fully understood that higher D was a
possibility and mentioned same. It was realized that investigating this
aspect to everyones satisfaction would take additional time. Now things are
beginning to appear, and it will be interesting to see what the final
conclusions are! Best, Sam |

Its all
in the math and the principle has been verified in the laboratory. However
what you posted is like a flat stone, skipping on the surface of a very
profound reality about the universe...namely that everything, time, space and
mass is entangled. A
spacecraft traveling near the speed of light could go to the spiral galaxy in
Andromeda and return to Earth in say 8 years...3 years each way plus two
years for planetary exploration. However,
gravitational effects on time passage are especially interesting, not the
tiny fraction of a second kind, but the gravitational slowing of time near a
black hole. You might
say: "How practical is this anyway"? We observe
the whole thing remotely because of dualism. We have inversely mapped
antimatter/matter bodies at the antipodes of space and time. We observe the
matter, particulate body and this world from the antimatter one...remotely. In
hyperspherical space, the photonic matrix is everywhere instantaneously, so
by "photons", which are measured by us at our frame to travel at c,
we can observe a proper time cosmic pulse in such great time dilation we find
ourselves living in a "universe". Time
process is single directional, so we sequentially observe the matter universe
from the antimatter side in the matrix followed by a periodic observation of
the antimatter side from the matter side. Each time
we observe a very tiny phylogenic change occurs, and we never return to the
orginal point...There is only one "present" for each invariant
frame in the system. So what
you are casually discussing is very practical indeed and is a part of the
essence of what we are and how we came to see the universe in this particular
way |

Your
posts are interesting. A while
back a Canadian fellow proposed an excellent 4D cosmology based on the
principle of the conservation of matter and energy and a few other axonomic
ideas. Problem was (and is) that there is ultimately no law of conservation
of matter and energy in 4D cosmologies. From the
photonic frame of reference one is everywhere in the universe at the same
time. Also,
despite the mathematical nicities of the "massless" photon, such an
idea is a contradiction in terms for the photon does work...on my calculator
anyway! Schwarzschilds 0+ photon is really the only kind, and it fits a vast
but finite and closed hyperspherical universe very well. At our
frame photons can be experimentally seen to be entangled and they display the
properties of both waves and particles. Because of quantum mechanics, we can
even do experiments, change our minds and see different results. However,
what we see is real, because this is the frame we inhabit and have to deal
with every day. There is something profound about the photon, but a physics
discussion about the properties of light is hardly a religous matter, no more
so than a discussion of what happens when we get run over by a train. As
complex particulate constructs, we can only exist as we process information
on 4D event horizon surfaces within the photonic matrix. We are very complex-
but very mechanical, as one finds out when he or she breaks ones neck! If our
body ceases to exist, so do we...at least until we reappear once again in one
hemisphere or another. At our
frame light exists (in reality) At singularity light has no velocity at all...it cannot and does not escape...except by the topological trick of "time reversal" as seen from our frame. (the process is continuous and not actually reversed). |

Note that
the "dark energy", the vehicle for conservation, is itself global,
and massive. Note:
since we "read" the universe just above the cosmic abyss, the
correct figure for experimental purposes may be closer to 10 to the minus
40th, but even using -33 brings us close enough that we can see the
handwriting on the wall mathematically. Thus it
can be seen that the Planck Realm has geometric properties with respect to
the GR universe, a conceptually unifying characteristic of SRT/GR and QM. Hence, I
placed the Planck Realm at the center of the Schwarzschild mirror geometry to
match observation and fill a mathematical gap thought to be an appendage
before the confirmation of black hole existence. The
biparticlate nature of the model solves the engineering problem encountered
by Dirac, using topology, the nature of the planck Realm as the basis for
stable superposition, and keeping in mind the nature of the photon as defined
in SRT.,.in reading the information remotely in time dilation. Duality
is a separate idea from the one you very well describe, since particulation
occurs only in 4D in any viable cosmology. The beauty of the 7D model is that
it is stable, finite and hyperspherical in the best Einsteinian sense. Since
GR/SRT and QM reign, and all determinations of the Omega have been 1+, I
think I have very reasonable basis, with all the body of astronomical
evidence to consider the possibility of a dual megaverse with a single,
single process time dimension. Keith, you know what Error bars are for and how they are used. Given the fact that every credible experiment, Maxima, Boomerang, WMAP etc etc has resulted in an omega tot greater than one, and given that even the smallest deviation from flat in the geometry of space will result in an ultimate rapid closure, what can any reasonable person think? |

7D
cosmology is very "stringy" but string theory is still a
hypothetical explanation for the storage and presumed conservation of
information within the Planck region. String Theory is attractive in a way
because of its 4D microscopic projection, the DNA molecule which stores the
genetic code. However,
while lower dimensional geometric projections are clues to the higher
dimensional reality, they always break down somewhere...they have a kind of
"horizon" beyond which they cannot go...in fact they can misslead
us if we are careless. Waterfalls
have a stationary frame, they demonstrate change in appearance by their
variation in flow, and they reflect the cyclic water cycle. They even slowly
migrate upstream, demonstrating gradual coordinate shift. However, nothing in
4D exists eternally. A waterfall is just a projection of the higher
dimensional stucture of the universe. It is observed and exists for us in 4D,
not 7 and up. I believe
strings are a similar situation. Because our 4D frame is an invariant
projection of the 7D and up reality, we ourselves occupy a special place in
space and time forever. Like cosmic pieces of furniture, we just are. Our
conscous experience is like ripples from a stone thrown in a pond, passing
over our eternal being and giving us the experience of life, motion and
change...the world we know. In such a
universe, we ourselves are the information! Why is there a need for what is
to become our bodies to be stored in the Planck Realm? Time, as Einstein said
so well, is but an illusion, so why must we feel obligated to describe the
universe in terms of motion and change? At its heart, information just IS; it
exists eternally at invariant coordinates. Actual development in a quasi-static universe takes place in the slightly changing events and decisions of our lives, which combined with all other effects of the complexity of life, gradually overcomes chaos and swings the universe toward order. We ourselves are the scafholding on which the periodic single time process future is built. |

Your
question is appropriate anytime, and I think you now know that gravity
propagates at the sppeed of light when its effects are observed from our
frame on 4D eventhorizon surfaces. You also
know why Newton felt that gravity had to have an infinite or near infinate
velocity. You have
seen that our universe has an inflationary heart in the sub-Planck Realm. However,
the Planck Realm- and inflation with all its associated results still exists
in the Planck Realm, and still has permanent effects which hold the universe
together and keep it stable. As a result, we can conclude because of the
necessities of physics, that a measuremnt of the speed of gravity from our
frame may not be of cosmological significance...ie may not apply to the
universe as a whole at all frames. The
mysteries of gravity are profound, and point directly to the veracity of
quantum mechanics, General and Special Relativiy and a multi-dimensional
hyperspherical model of the universe. A
singular Earth would have a 1G gravitational acceleration 4,000 miles from
its center, strongly implying (according to SRT and GR) that the particulate
Earth we inhabit is 1. Poised collectively at the edge of the cosmic abyss 2.
Consists of particulate information crossread on 4D event horizon surfaces in
GR time dilation from an inversely mapped yet superposed remote frame of
reference and 3. That gravity itself is not a true force, but rather a
ficticious force created by rotational forces which we cannot immediately see
from our 4D frame of reference. The
existence of a "dark energy" planck realm on an astronomical as
well as submicroscopic scale can further be observed in the anomolous
acceleration of spacecraft. When an auromobile and a penny are dropped at the same ("time") and hit the floor together, you are truly watching one of the most significant phenomena of the universe. |

who
asserted along with Einstein and others that the universe is finite. We
observe and indeed construct an internal universe based on our observations
and capabilities at our own frame of reference. Yet the
finite universe results in a second law of thermodynamics which in and of
itself constrains our existence. The fact that our existence has limits
implies that the universe is finite. We change and grow old. The Earth and
universe as we observe them likewise change. The
creation of life in our "hemisphere" is an entropy struggle. In an
environment tending toward disorder, life improbably (it seems to us) evolves
and differentiates into a complex ecological system. We
ourselves are constrained by the realities of those who have other frames of
reference, the beasts and plants who share our Earth, our families and our
communities. In fact,
life can be defined within the context of a series of constraints and their
effects on us- as well as our effect on others. Ecological and social systems
within these systems of constraints tend to be stable, some more than
others...yet eventually all change, disappear or are absorbed. In this
universal "hemisphere", increasing entropy is the rule, decreasing
entropy is an isolated phenomenon. Stability (and security) are momentary or
passing. The other
universal "hemisphere" sees decreasing entropy as the rule, with
islands of increasing entropy to remind its inhabitants such a thing as disorder
does exist. Overall,
each frame of reference is invariant, experienced over and over again
eternally, as a result of the decisions and conflicts of each cycle,
experiencing with the whole universe a process which overall, because of its
complexity, overcomes the tendancy toward disorder in the universe and
enables the whole to survive. As such, we live in a finite megaverse with a single time process experienced repeatedly (on 4D event horizon surfaces) in slightly different ways by each frame. Each frame evolves in an eternal phylogenic process as part of an interlocked, interdependent system. |

The Horse...Dark Energy (post 68587) |

Dark
Energy according to WMAP comprises 73% of the universe by mass. In 4D,
our dynamic reality per Hubble (and as observed by us), the universe is
expanding outward from the hot big bang. Also in 4D, like a rock thrown in
the air, the universe would be expected to slow down as it expands. Astronomical
evidence, very powerful Astronomical evidence has shown that the univeral
expansion is not slowing down; rather the universe is accelerating outward.
In 4D, this acceleration demands the equivalent of a compressed gas, your
horse of dark energy, to force the universe to accelerate in its expansion.
An alternative or companion idea is a vacuum of some kind. In 7D
with two three spaces, the dark energy is uniformly distributed everywhere in
the universe since the GR universe exists everywhere. The universe as it
expands outward from our frame, is also accelerating downhill toward
singularity. Each pole
of the closed space 7D universe has both a photonic (white hole) and singular
(black hole)component. Really it
is easy! The big bang was a singular event, yet that singular event fills our
sky! As we look outward, the universe is accelerating toward singularity.
When we look inward, toward the Planck Realm, we seem suspended. Time, with
motion and change and particles appear. All this particulate reality is
really crashing into the void in proper time. However
because of inverse mapping on both sides of the planck realm, we remotely
cross view the particulate decending universe within the photonic matrix (per
SRT) in extreme time dilation. The
result is the miracle of existence. In this model, the dark energy is a
reservoir containing the information of the universe. We call this
information "mass" and define it appropriately. We float on this reservoir of singular information which gradually fills from our frame. Then, on the other side of time, this same reservoir gives back its information via the white hole, (the "big bang") continuing our eternal existence. |

Spin/gravity (post 68977) |

This
deserves additonal comment. Gravity is a ficticious force resulting from
rotational forces- the same kind of forces we oberve on a merry-go-round. The
observed combined, cumulative directional spin of baryons in a given
hemisphere, cause the force we know as gravity. Now,
remember that the gravitational attraction of an Earth or Sun reduced to
singularity results in identical accelerations at the surface of the body as
does the particulate construction we observe on 4D event horizon surfaces. Further,
remember that the Planck Realm itself is inflationary...that during the
inflationary period and inside the Planck Realm, the developing universe
exapnded at almost an infinite velocity. Also note
that inflation is now well documented experimentally as well as
theoretically. It
follows that per the intuition of Sir Isaac Newton, gravity, involving
cumulative point mass (singular horizon) spin travels cosmologically, (not
from our frame) at near inflationary velocity. At our
frame we are limited by the speed of light in our measurement of the
universe. It is wrong to conclude however, that the speed of light is the
universal speed limit, since 73% of the universe is singular and therefore
inflationary. Finally,
since the singular realm links the far ends of the universe in its
inflationary grip, all baryonic parts of the universe from one side to the
other are entangled in the influence of gravity, according to the inverse
square law as measured from our frame. The proper way to start our study of cosmology is to use the same approach Albert Einstein did...to consider the universe as an essentially static, rigid eternal structure, and see the dynamic universe as we observe it as an effect, much as the CD is rigid and the music is an effect of "playing" (rotating and observing in a very special way) the CD. Imagine the music stored information trying to define and deduce the existence of its CD! |

Hi
Charlie, In the
7-D and up GR/QM quasi-static universe model with a 7-D Einstein connection
the actual proper time movement of the universe could best be described as an
everywhere pulsation, perceived by observers cross/viewing in time dilation
as taking cosmological time. Each
"object" or energy density configuration from atoms and atomic
particles on up in scale observed from the cosmic event horizon at 10 to the
minus 33rd CM is essentially an invariant frame, meaning it has eternal
existance and duality, existing and observing in geometric inversion,
sequentially, eternally. However a
very slow phylogenic process of change governed by the influence of living
complexity drives the universe ever so slowly away from chaos and toward
order, defeating the second law from the cosmic perspective. (Not ours). Just as
those children were taken by the sea, alive and in good health, they will be
returned in geometric inversion in good health to their parents on the other
side of time. This process will continue eternally. We are
all pieces of cosmic furniture, endlesssly observing from our invariant frame
of reference, being born, dying and immediately (from our frame) being reborn
with no memory of previous excursions of observation. However, because of the
static or rather near static nature of the universe we ourselves change
phylogenically over eternity much as our species has evolved over
cosmological time- which is an accurate projection of the higher dimensional
process. There is
no death, though eyes grow dim; There is no fear, when I'm near to Him...as
Mario Lanza sang years ago. We live in an utterly mysterious universe. What I
have just described has been shown observationally to be true to at least 20
decimal places. As Stephen Hawking said it so well..."The universe just
IS". Happy New Year to all, Sam |

A key
aspect of the Einsteinian hyperspherical universe with a 7D and up connection
is that it is a single entity, not multiple entities. The
single time process dimension is inviolate. Time,
because of the geometry of space may be observed as reversed when both sides
are considered, but in fact, time process is sacrosinct in the model. This
time separation is part of the way in which a universe constructed of
inversely mapped matter and antimatter is preserved. A good
analogy is an old 33and 1/3 RPM phonograph record. Each cycle fails to return
the universe to exactly the same coordinates...the needle shifts by a
millimeter or so. Since the
proper time collapse is better described as a rapid "pulse" and we
observe the universe on 4D particulate event horizon surfaces remotely in
time dilation, the future unverse which we have yet to experience, is an
eternity ahead of us already...and gaining. However
unlike a completely static universe, motion and change...time, exist. The way
we observe motion and change on 4D event horizon surfaces, remotely creates
the vastness of space and time we understand, and brings the second law of
thermodynamics into being. By the
way, this model is not in a "pure" Schwarzschild geometry which is
centered at a geometric point. Rather, this model has a slightly modified
Schwarzschild model with a quantum Planck Realm at the center of its dual
geometry. This
Planck Realm is astronomically observed by us as "dark energy", and
contains 73% of the mass of the universe. A black hole with a radius 10 to the minus 33rd the volume of the solar system accounts for the anomolous acceleration of the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft, for example. |

Good
thoughts. I
certainly don't agree with everything on that thread...just was interested in
his math and stress on duality as per Schwarzschild and GR. One
important point though; Although the Planck Realm is sub microscopic,
extensive laboratory work over the past 100 years does firmly support the
concept that the universe is a quantum reality, though quantum effects only
dominate at the lower scales of the universe. The
vastness of the numbers of events and sets of events (relating to
information)emerging from (photonic) and decending into (the singular) planck
realm creates, when observed, a none the less deterministic situation where
the overall behavior of particles and their derivatives can be predicted with
a high degree of accuracy approaching certainty. A unitary
universe has no internal dimensionality, only mass below the level of
particulation, in an absolute sense below about 10 to the minus 36th CM. At higher
scales the familiar and some unfamiliar dimensional frameworks exist as they
are observed by resulting particulate beings, through whose measuremnts, the
size and mass of the planck realm can also be determined. Again let
me stress...a lot of work has been done on this, and even though quantum
effects are not so noticable at the higher scales, they can be measured with
sensitive instruments. About
that saddle: In
geometry "the saddle" usually refers to an infinite 4D universe
with open space. Since it is clear for many reasons that the universe is
finite in mass, and space in the universe has experimentally been shown to be
closed, infering duality, stablity, inverse mapping and higher
dimensionality, a determined effort to stay "in the saddle, or to go
back to the saddle again" may be an indication of a certain
philosophical bias. |

While we
are on the subject, consider the implications of the following in and for the
structure of the universe: 1.
Nearby, some galaxies are blue shifted, moving toward us and others are
redshifted; moving away. 2. As we
observe galaxies farther and farther away they proportionally, according to
the Hubble "Constant" are increasingly redshifted. 3. This
redshifting indicates that distant galaxies are receding from us at an
increasing fraction of the speed of light. 4.
Distant galaxies are receding at speeds very close to the speed of light 90%
up. 5. At the
"big bang" distant galaxies are not observed because the universe
is singular. 6. This
hot big bang fills all of our sky and yet is singular. 7. As we
look toward the Planck Realm, in the opposite direction, the universe is
suspended on 4D surfaces in all of its particulate complexity and exists over
cosmological time, experiencing motion, change and a slow general increase in
entropy. 8. This
"freezing" out of paticles on 4D event horizon surfaces near the
palnck realm fits the dual configuation for the universe, inverse mapping and
the crossreading of the proper time collapse of the univese remotely. 9. The
math fits. If we estimate the size (in both space and time- and these
estimates are improving rapidly) of the universe as we observe it, and use
those parameters as a basis for comparison with the model using the GR Time
Dilation formula, the Planck length, the duration of cosmological time, and
the distance of the farthest galaxies, we get a very good approximation of
this model, including its mathematical duality...as the people at Princeton,
Cambridge, and UC are well aware. 10. The dual model also fits the mass and energy ditribution patterns of the universe found in WMAP. |

From our
frame, the more distant astronomical universe is actually accelerating away
from us. The microscopic particulate universe we observe seems suspended at
the cosmic Planck length event horizon- and seems stable. You are
correct. This results from the way we observe a universe which exists in some
kind of spherical geometry. Because of the universes duality, we remotely
observe the collapse of the matter, 4D particulate universe in GR time
dilation. This freezes everything and makes the proton stable for (almost)
cosmological time. How can
this happen? Because the antimatter side, which exists on the other side of
time, and from which we observe material reality, is in an imprtant sense,
right here! This is
made possible by the nature of light, which as a kind of matrix,
mathematically and in reality is everywhere at once. The photons coming out
of your houselamp are part of the same matrix emerging from houselamps on the
other side of the universe. This makes it possible for us to cross view the
unniverse and see the collapsing reality we experience in time dilation. The
vastness of the universe which we observe from our frame is little more than
a complex holographic construct. Because
motion and change (time) exists in the universe (a consequence of its
finitude), at death we simply lose our frame, and then repeat the process of
observing from our frame over and over- forever. The study of horizons etc can obscure the primary reality about the universe...it is in fact very small....all information is tightly packed and inter-related...and it is created by the very unique way we observe it. It is a rapid, everywhere, proper time pulse, which we read a very special way in time dilation, cosmologically. |

Correct...not
dust, but the original singular realm from the hot big bang everywhere at 10
to the minus 33rd cm from our frame. We are not inside singularity, but
observe the universe on particulate 4D event horizon surfaces remotely This
unique way of "reading" the universe, which actually creates space
and time- and results from the finiude of the cosmos- can only occur within a
dual configuation with inverse mapping of matter and antimatter, each half
reading the other side sequentially- forever. Space
from our frame is not empty, but has mass according to the calculations of
the Schwarzschild radius with 1/10 to the minus 33rd the radius of a volume
of space anywhere being singular. Using the solar system, the anomolous
acceleration of the Pioneer spacecraft is explained. Using the universe as a
whole, a black hole with a radius 1/10 to the minus 33rd of 13.6BLY contains
mass equal to 73% of the mass of the universe...the dark energy. At the
opposite antipode, the 2.73K CMB is the photonic or white hole side of our
reality. The
proper time pulse of the universe is so rapid, the whole entity is
quasi-static- rigid. Time and space are created by the unique way we observe...and
exist at the cumulative particulate event horizon surfaces. The
twisting of space time in dilation at the sub-atomic particulate level gives
us the closed hyperbolic, as opposed to universally hyperspherical ST
configuration which results in the formation of electron shells, energy
levels and particles. In combination with mass differentials, these ST twisting phenomina are the information we read as reality. |

Sorry if
you got the impression that I meant only human observation qualifies as the
"correct" kind. However
human observation really is special because our brains are highly developed
and mother nature has also given us hands with opposable thumbs. In our
position, we are equipped to discuss and investigate the nature of the
universe on a rather high level. In fact,
our abilities are so developed, one is tempted to speculate that we are part
of the process which got us all here in the first place! However
every way the universe is observed is important. Observing
stored information constitutes the clues...compelling clues to the existence
not only of the dinosaurs, but of intelligent control of the universe (life
seeing through every eye and acting as a servomechanism to drive the universe
toward order). Just as
our observing dinosaur tracks and excavating their bones thus enables us to
observe past events in cosmological time, our discovery of amazing
coincidences in the thermonuclear reactions at the heart of stars also constitutes
the discovery of "tracks" indicating stored information and the
existence and pervasiveness of intelligent consciousness at every level of
scale (time) right down to the event horizon, (hot big bang from our frmae,
or beginning of the current proper time pulse) of the universe. The
universe in 4D or more properly in 7D is to our observation a geometric
construct. We have the capacity to study the past and even make projections
of the future, but we each must live in the present, and thus live in our own
place in space and time...at our invariant frames. Where ever we go, there we are. |

A couple
of things... 1. Two
measurements were made at varying distances well before the heliopause was
encountered by the spacecraft. 2. The
radius of the universe has been pretty well established at 13.6 BLY...there
is some variation in the figures. Still this is close enough, and the
necessary mass of the universe is known well enough, that the same type of
calculations can be done on the entire universe- not for anomolous
acceleration, but to determine the fit of the model...whether approximately
75% of the mass of the universe is contained in such a region. Remember,
the "White Hole", "Black Hole" antipodes of the universe
are observed by us to be the CBR and the Planck Realm...at a distance in
Space/time of 13.6 BLY and 10 to the minus 33rd Cm respectively. The
"creation" of space and time in the model is the result of our (as
observers in the photonic matrix) cross-reading the two/sided system in
extreme time dilation near the Planck Length, on 4D particulate event horizon
surfaces where the information is stored. The math on this gives a breadth of
the universe of 10-20 BLY!...excellent considering the variables which still
exist in our knowledge. At any rate, the mathematical fit of this model with the universe we observe is very good, which obviously we should expect. GR and SRT have great veracity in observation and measurement and so does QM. The Schwarzschild "mirror" geometry satisfies GR. The only modification, made necessary by our knowledge of the veracity of QM is the substitution of the Planck Realm for a point at the center of the geometry. |

I
appreciate the use of the word "here"...as observed from our frame
of reference. I think it is obvious that considering the instability of
antimatter within our space-time lattice we would not expect its behaviour to
even approximate that of matter...or the reverse of matter. Of course
the two sides of the universe are chiral in this model anyway. It would be
expected that the phases and phase transitions of an antimatter half of the
universe would be different...water might not be liquid between 0-100 degrees
centigrade for example. Honestly,
I believe the most nieve question of twentieth century physics was the sking
of the question: "Whatever happened to all the antimatter at the
beginning of the universe?" Astronomy
demands twice as mich mass as we observe to explain the motions of items as
close as our own galactic spiral arm. Morover, that mass has to be positioned
wit the existing stars. It has to be. The "Dark matter" is Baryonic
and it is over the horizon. The amount needed matches the dual model. Remember,
on the antimatter side of the universe, matter would be as exotic as
antimatter is on this side, however just as we can build antimatter atoms in
this space/time lattice so long as it is protected frm matter, matter atoms
could be created on the other side, so long as they were protected from the
mundane and common antimatter. Lastly, the evidence for a dual universe is botrh mathematical and observational; no obervational evidence to date exludes the model and all can be interpereted in the light of such a model. |

The
importance of semantics, or word meaning! Here's
another one: In GR,
each of the frames of reference in our universe by definition is invariant,
in fact every photon based energy density based frame of reference in the
universe is invariant. In 4D,
without a cosmological constant to keep the system static, nothing about the
universe is invariant. In fact,
since ANY 4D universe has increasing entropy and thus a beginning and ending,
no frame of reference is really invariant in the truest semantic sense of
that words meaning. If my
death is the end of my existence, how can I claim to be invariant? It is
laughable. Moreover, a 4D universe must be infinitely massive, with all the
contradictions that implies, and there can be no law of conservation of
matter and energy, cosmologiclally.(Max Tegmark has been working this infinite
parallel universe idea because he well understands the constraints of
cosmological models) In 7D and
up with 7D Schwarzschild Geometry and a 7D Einstein Connection, each frame of
reference becomes automatically invariant- withour a cosmological constant. A
stable finite universe becomes possible, with a viable first law. Einstein
understood the universe "between his ears", and laughingly said
that when the "mathematicians discovered GR, he wasn't sure HE
understood it anymore!" Of course, Einstein understood the math of GR better than anyone else. His point was that a model has to be conceptualized first, and then reduced to mathematics and extended from there. |

Forum,
right! The whole
universe is a unitary, quantum reality; that is foundational. However,
outside the planck realm GR rules and quantum effects diminish with
increasing scale. Our vast universe is a product of our very special way of
observing it from one side to the other in time dilation within the photonic
matrix. Hawking
makes the point that because information is conserved, quantum mechanics is
"saved" for of course, quantum mechanics is reversable. I think we
need to remind ourselves that just as viewing a persons decomposition in
reverse brings them out of their grave and back to good health, information
scrambled (but preserved) in a black hole, because of the nature of quantum
mechanics can be retreived in the same orderly fashion it went in...(white/hole...black/hole...Schwarzschild
geometry which fits the dualism of GR and presents solutions to the
equations). The
author at the top of the thread makes the point that just as a dog cannot
understand the workings of a dogfood factory, we cannot understand what is
really going on around us either (or surmise the purpose for our existence).
He says that in 15 million years, maybe a being will evolve that will
understand. |

"Ben:
Any theory that violates the law of conservation of energy is invalid since
the law of conservation of energy is a fundamental principle of physical
reality." I'm
inclined to strongly agree with you, but many, perhaps most scientists
wouldn't. For stability, the 4D universe depends on Dirac's infinite floor of
quantum fluctuations (he thought particles). All this is tied up with why the
massless photon becomes so important to scientists cosmologically...the 4D
universe can't be finite. By the
way, I would read what Bruce says lower in this thread carefully, because he
is right. It is, I think pointless to deny the veracity of a concept
(concepts, ie SRT, GR and QM) which have such experimental evidence to
support them...whether their implications sound like fantasy- or not. I'm also
inclined to believe that by 2050AD most automobile fuel will be alcohol, (as
Brazil is on now) with the remaining petroleum reserved for jet fuel, grease
and plastics. Americans will NEVER give up their automobiles- cars will
become smaller, more efficient and more creatively engineered. The
increasing cost of gasoline will make this happen natually because ethanol
can be produced from corn for between 5-10 dollars per gallon, depending on
the process and purity desired. Solar
power is just too expensive, and most scientists now feel fusion is a lost
cause...at least for the forseeable future... |

In the
study of General Relativity, time is considered spacelike, which means it is
mathematically handled like length, width and height. This
makes everything and every event in the universe static...everything has a
certain coordinate. Einstein conceived the universe as static and created the
cosmological constant to keep it so, since in 4D, relativity didn't quite
work out as static. With
Hubbles discoveries, Einstein was convinced he made a mistake assuming a
static universe. The
accelerating universe points to higher dimensionality, but Einstein and
others found that the universe would not form particles in higher D. However,
two three spaces containing matter and antimatter in superposition solves the
dilema...two 4D universes on a single time process as per the work of Karl
Schwarzschild. If we
observe time as different from the other dimensions, we have to assume it is
different, however, to understand time we have to conceptualize it in other ways
than the way we experience it. The math requires this too. Everything points to the universes being a construct. That is where life comes in of course, bringing it into existence by observing and modifying it. |

Especially
when we start attempting to concepualize stuff like this, we use phenomena
like bubbles and balloons. One of
the problems is that the universe we observe can be presumed, because of the
way it behaves, to consist of 4D projections of a higher dimensional
construction. Hence, the bubbles burst as do the balloons, while in the real
universe everything accelerates outward toward where it came from in the
first place. Remember,
when we look outward in space, we feel that the universe is larger the
farther outward we go. Actually the universe gets samller! We look outward
toward the big bang, a white hole which originated in a cosmic singularity
everywhere. When we
see the universe accelerating outward, it isn't exploding uphill, it is
accelerating downhill, back toward singularity. These seemingly incongruous
observations prove that our 4D frame is a lower dimensional projection of at
least a foundational 7D system. One other
important thing. The purpose of cosmic models is to explain the universe the
way we observe it. The 7D, or any other model is only useful insofar as it
explains the universe we live in as we carefully measure it...it must be
verified in the cyclotron and with the telescope. Nevertheless,
as you imply, our 4D particulate world existng in cosmological time is loaded
with clues about its true nature. |

Hi Keith,
The wife
and I flew to Florida last week just ahead of the snow which went up the
eastern seaboard last Thursday. I'm using another persons laptop. I'll post
the math on this when I return to Philly in a couple of weeks. It is really
startling. On a
larger scale than the solar system, the actual time (space) since the big
bang is now known to a much higher degree of accuracy than a few years ago. I
plan to work with some guys and gals to check the data we did a few years ago
against the cosmic picture to see if we are within an order of magnitude or
so. I'll keep you advised. I
recently had an exchange with a geometry/GR specialist who was very
encouraging about a modified Schwarzschild geometry fitting a quasi-static
GR/QM universe model with a Planck Realm- and its corresponding mass- rather
than having a geometric point at the center of the dual geometry. Thanks
for your interesting posts- and professional, polite comments based on I'm open.
If the model isn't right- so what? Life goes on. To date, however, the model
has not been disproved, in fact there is a lot of evidence at both the
astronomical and submicroscopic levels supporting it. The model sure answers
a lot of important questions! Best
Wishes... Sam Cox |

HI, The whole
key to a GR universe which works is found in its duality...see the wotk of
Schwarzschild and Dirac. This
duality creates the matter/antimatter configuration and inverse mapping which
lends stability of the system. The final
touch is the presence of the Planck (singular) Realm at 10 to the minus 33rd
centimeter everywhere. This realm stands between the two halves of the
universe and prevents their mutual distruction. Applying
enough energy can drive negative and positive particles in small numbers into
the space/time lattice of either half of the universe where they are promptly
reduced to energy. In addition to the experimetal results from accelerators
we also have astronomical evidence, some of it 100 years old (Jan Oort's
work) which indicates the local arm of our galaxy must be fully twice as
massive as we observe to account for stellar motions. The universe is built like the proverbial brick shithouse. Everything is tied together and related to everything else so tightly that the almost infinately slow phylogenic development which occurs due to the irrationality of Pi found in all spherical (oval, etc) systems is manageable through a system of gradually increasing complexity (life) which acts as a servomechanism from an engineering standpoint... |

"Any
sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." In 1968,
Weno Island Chuuk had a 4,700 foot coral runway. Continenetal landed a
727/100 on it and had an open house. Climbing up the aft stairs of that plane
and looking inside was like entering a flying saucer after showering by the
spring, using an outhouse and cooking over fires. Students
approaching Weno island on the field trip ship from the outer islands and
seeing automobiles for the first time, identified them as huge crabs. It is
quite clear this universe is a technological achievement constructed for a
purpose. We can only speculate on the nature of that purpose...is it only the
continued existence of this kind of reality...a part of something yet more
involved? The
secular, emperical approach to solving problems has been very prodictive, but
any philosophy taken too far can be driven "into the ground". That
is, if we follow any line of reasoning in too "devout" a manner, we
can make ourselves a laughing stock...or even dangerous fanatics, out of
touch with reality. The implications of our own existence are so profound, and the way we observe is so woven into the fabric of both GR and QM, it is silly to ignore the mutual dependence of the world we observe on the nature and complexity of what we are... |

7D
cosmology is really "stringy". you are absolutley correct. Many
cosmologists insist that the universe exists in higher D and the
consentration is on 7 or 10, possibly 11 D, but also 24D etc. 11D is called
the "triad". I've
stuck with the two-track 4D system...two three spaces connected by an
eternal, cyclical time dimension which prevents the univese from being
completely static (opening the door to motion and change as we observe it).
The total D in the model is 7, with n dimensional potential. I've also
stuck with this model because of the numbers...Schwaerzschild geometry gives
correct solutions to GR....in fact those solutions were the first offered. In
addition, this model matches the observatinoal submicroscopic and
astronomical observations better than some others. In string
theory, the "extra" (they are not really "extra"...they
are demanded) dimensions are curled up in a ball or are small as observed
from our frame. Small and
large are relative terms, dependent on the way we observe the unverse.
Scharzschild geometry demands the two three spaces be equal in size, space
and time and that the two halves of the universe be superposed geometrically.
I
agree... |

In the 7D
Schwarzschild geometry model, the side of the universe we observe floats on
and is balanced by, particle for particle, another baryonic antimatter side. The
Planck realm, the singular dark energy which constitutes 73% by mass of the
complete universe is interposed between and protects the two sides. Because
time flow is sperical (oval etc) the antimatter side which is supporting our
side, but not being presently observed, is in our future...as I said, on the
other side of time. In the
circle dimensional analogy, we observe flat euclidean space from the center
postion, while we actually exist on 4D event horizon surfaces on the
circumference where it is intersected by "our" diameter on both
sides...hence again, the other side being referred to as the "other side
of time. How can something not presently being observed, exist? As recorded information it is part of the structure of the universe- and ourselves. As such, like the dinosaurs it leaves footprints and exists as stored information which, as we study the universe can be detected by precise measurements...the anomolous acceleration of spacecraft and the difference between the measured mass of our arm of the galaxy VS the mass necessary to account for its motion for example. |

Both
ideas are interesting. The fact that the universe consists of stored
information has far reaching implications...that intelligence is behind the
whole setup, is but one. Another, since information is conserved (per Hawking
losing his bet) is that the universe is indeed (at least) quasi-static. That
(quasi-static nature of the universe),in turn implies we need not look for
information inside black holes. Since the universe is actually (almost)
static, and we only READ and OBSERVE it as existing in time with motion and
change, we ARE the information, existing where we are and as we are, with
only very gradual change over eternity. I
mentioned Arthur C. Clarke down on the thread. In his science fiction book,
"Childhoods End", he speculates that the human race, when it
graduates to a higher level of cosmic existence, takes the planet Earth with
it- just for "old times sake"...out of nostalgia. Personally, I believe the megaverse has parts, of which our (presently being experienced)universe is one, without which the whole would cease to exist. We are here, not because we represent the highest form of life, far from it, but because without our existence, the whole would cease...interdependence...everything depending on everything else... |

Correct! The
process is called parthenogenesis, and is easy to do in many animals, just by
stimulating an egg with a small pin. although
the process is easier to undertake with lower animals, studies in the UK
indicate that healthy females occasionally occur in this manner. Chromosome
studies of suspected cases confirm this indeed happens. Parthenogenic females
have only 24 chromosomes. Obviosly
many, perhaps most parthenogenic pregancies end up as miscarriages, because
most humans carry several unexpressed lethal genes on one or both sets
(paternal or maternal) The dual
sets of chromosomes we have act to protect us as individuals and ultimately
preserve the species, however if an egg haapens to have a perfect chromosome
set of 24, there is no reason a healthy female cannot result from a
non-impreganted pregancy. Cosmological duality also serves essentially the same purposes...protection and preservation of the cosmos....while enough flexibiblity is permitted within the system to permit phylogenic growth and development of the parts of the whole...us. |

but we
all develop eternally, phylogenically.and as a single universal entity. The
nature of light assures that there are not an infinite number of
(unobserving) Sam cox's spead over an infinite universe (whatever that
means...think about it for a moment!). There is
one universe and one Sam Cox who is not exactly the same as his no longer
observed (and therefore, not real) previous condition. Neither is he the same
as he will exist in the future- also not presently observed and therefore not
reality in GR. Understanding
the nature of light, filling the universe instantaneously is the key to
appreciating the fact that although my notion of simultaneity does not and
cannot coincide with yours, nevertheless, the universe is a single, not
multiple entity which is tied together like a cathedral in which, if one part
were removed, the edifice would crumble and cease to exist. However the universe clearly foundationally exists in seven dimensions, has two sides and is sequentially observed from each side in geometric inversion by each observer. |

Of course
the absolute extended radius of the universe is much greater than its present
13.6 BLY. The
absolute radius of the universe at maximum extention can be determined using
the Omega of the universe which has been established most accurately by WMAP
at 1.02. Mike Turner at the university of Chicago has done the measurments on
this. Ned
Wright in his note to me, confirmed that space in the universe is marginally
closed. Obviously
space, for our purposes is observed flat, but in fact, space in the universe
as a whole is hypersherical and closed...near singular particles, hyperbolic
and closed. By the
way, since space and time are products of the way we observe the universe, we
could almost call them figments of our imagination, a mysterious, almost
magical construct indeed. It all seems so real...it IS real, even eternal, including our own existence. Yet the existence of the universe and observaion by observers are intertwined. The system is a construct. |

Of course
intelligence is an outcome of (and stands on) material organization. PAM Dirac
was an engineer. He spent his entire career (including his prediction of the
existence of antimatter) trying to answer the cosmological question of what
the turtle stands on. The
foundationally 7D universe with a Planck Realm, Schwarzschild two/sphere
geometry and a 7D Einstein connection solves Diracs great "turtle"
dilemma. In 4D, a ship floats on a sea of particles (his proposal for the
universe). In 7D and up one side of the universe is floating via the Planck
Realm on the other half. The
inverse mapping resulting from this configuration indicates why the universe
is stable, quasi-static and how complexity and entropy are conserved overall.
The
universe is preserved by the increrasingly complex ways it is observed and
manipulated (life). Your question has been asked by millions for millenia. Through careful measurements and observations, some viable answers are starting to come in. |

Sometimes
the simplest questions are most profound. Why does a car or a key accelerate
at the same rate when dropped at an equal distance from the center of a
gravitational field? The link
between intelligence and matter seems to be clear...the two are related.
However, as Fred Hoyle mused, how does intelligence "monkey around"
in the heart of stars to assure that thermonuclear reactions produce carbon
in the necessary proportion so as to make life possible? We
usually assume that the universe is a great void, where rare islands of
complexity and decreasing entropy exist, but how does intelligence store
information in stars? It is
clear that the universe is a holistic entity. Everything from soup to nuts
happens to exist in such a configuration as to make our observation of it
possible. I wouldn't say that intellignece is tainted by matter, rather that the two are linked in a very special relationship... |

Charlie,
I keep speaking about Pi, and the matter of mathematical irrationality as
being at the heart of the existence of motion and change as we presently
observe it in 4D, phylogenic development of the universe in 7D the n dimensional
construction of the universe and the existence of useful, useless and
destructive events in the universe. Why? In the
GR/QM/Planck Realm universe we OBSERVE the universe as ALMOST flatwe observe
it and we observe it from the center, at our almost invariant frame, as if we
were at the center of a circle. Actually,
of course we exist on 4D surfaces at the outer circumference of the geometry.
However,
the universe exists as it is observed. Best, Sam |

Rounding
off and significant figures are very useful mathematical procedures, but 9.99

to round off the universe too. One of
the lessons of advanced models has been that small discrepancies, very small
indeed, make a big difference. Watch out for "almost" in science.
In a huge and massive universe, the photon is almost massless...but it does
work (runs your calculator), right? The omega is not 1 (flat universe) but
1.01 (closed). Big difference! Mom used
to tell me that if I took care of the little things, the big things would
take care of themselves. That principle is important in science (and math)
too. For Charlie, Ringo, Keith and everyone...the wife and I will be traveling, so I'll be mostly off the board for a while... I'll check in from the field once in a while and say hello. |

Very
appropriate (and informed) remarks. In fact gravity has been recently
tentatively measured as propagating at the speed of light. Newtons concerns
about the consequencesw of light propogating at "c" however were
not unfounded. From our
frame, observing the universe on 4D particulate event horizons at (probably
less) than the Planck length above the cosmic abyss, the speed of gravity is
"c". Since the
dark energy unifies the universe and consitutes 73% of its mass,
"c" from that frame does not exist as we observe it from
ours...therefore the universe is stable. Einstein himself discussed the fact that an implication of GR is that the speed of light is only constant when the universe was observed from a constant frame. Our frame is ultimate reality to us, but cosmological conditions at all frames taken together give the universe stability... |

from NASA is good too... Note the
"saddle" or hyperbolic space only applies if the measured omega is
less than one. The omega is not, and is greater than one so why stick with
hyperbolic space in our models? This situation reminds me of that tiny precession of Mercuries orbit predicted by GR which when found, turned the world of science upside down. The 1.01 Omega cnfirms Einsteins intuition and prediciton as substantiated by the Schwarzschild solutions...which fit an omega of 1.01 very nicely. |

certain way at too small a scale. This fact
(that a whole may be more or much less than the sum of its parts) also has

Right...and
since we observe motion and change, they (and time) have to be a reality,
though time at the cosmological level might well be very different from the
way we observe it. Nevertheless
motion, change- and time exist...period. Though time can be mathematically treated as spacelike with very good results, the mathematically irrational nature of sperical systems creates a quasi-static, modifying (motion and change, remember) universe in which time is ultimately more complex a concept than length, width or height. This complexity is probably responsible for the universes n dimensional quality. |

In my

would occur depends on the mass and position of the black hole in the
space/time lattice relative to us. A black
hole of less than cosmic mass distorts...a few solar masses or millions of
solar masses. The
cosmic abyss (dark energy) constitutes 73% of the universe, and is so
postioned and balanced that when crossread from our frame anywhere in the
universe the same reality is observed. Dark matter is probably unconsolidated particles and unseen baryonic antimatter positioned on the other side of time... |

"space" and "time" created as we crossread and observe
the universe in time dilation. Awesome,
this "huge" universe of ours! |

absolutely correct...no need for extra dimensions, no need is implicit in

the universe particulates and can only (so far as we can determine) be
observed in 4 dimensions at one time. |
