Re: space-time as a force opposing both gravity and energy.

I agree with you all my theory was useless after all. By the way alxian I didn't take personal offence at your statement. It's just to often you see people using a fixed concept of what the quantity T means in an equation. And when you use that very same concept to show that you can interpret the equation in a different way they decide T doesn't actually mean anything in the equation.
Just one question I have got . If you believe the special theory of relativity to be correct. If you also believe therefore the concept that the velocity C is the ultimate velocity.
Based on the fact that photons have been shown to go slower than C. I would assume that C is a mathematically derived ultimate velocity and that photons in a vacuum travel incredibly close to this velocity but don't ever actually reach this velocity because it's the speed limit of the universe according to the standard interpretation of relativity.
Well if there is a speed limit to the universe in relativity. Why do we just decide that there can't be a ultimate reference of rest. Standard interpretation of relativity says that there is no ultimate reference of rest and therefore every observer can consider themselves at rest relative to C. If the value C is mathematically derived why can't there be a ultimate frame of rest which is the inverse of what you used to work out ultimate velocity.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
