Could such lament reflect a note of self-deprecation for capitulating
to the 'no medium', space-as-void doctrine while knowing full well
better (?).

I think Einstein was undecided about that and flip flopped several
times.  He was trying to prove ttat particles of matter were solutons
(standing waves) in his last years, which raised the question:
standing waves in what?

There was this dialog with Painius last week in which an "Aha!" moment
occured regarding the 'granularity'/ wavelength-state of the SPED (re-
posting) :

Well, in light of abundant prima facie evidence by which the spatial
medium _demonstrates itself_, (the high, fixed value of c, lack of
perceptible upper amplitude limit to EM radiation, the behavior of
gravity, and the ability to crush massive stars down to a black
hole),
AND since we sensorially perceive that medium as "void", indicating
that its 'granularity' or wavelength-state resides below our sensory
and EM resolution, below the level that "has any meaning" by sensory
or EM standards, it can only be defined as sub-Planckian.

> So they're

Understanding first the reality of the spatial medium, whether
flowing
or not, will open up understanding of the quantum realm and will
provide conciliation of QM and relativity, healing the great rift
between them. But that chasm will remain forever fixed under the
Void-
Space Paradigm.

So what the hell, let's plumb the sub-Planckian domain even
further. Remember that CBB image of the hydrogen atom with its two
'bathtub drain' vortices going into the poles of the central proton?
The stuff that's flowing in is the 'stuff' of space itself venting
down to its lowest pressure-state at the proton's core. OK, now
consider the sub-Planckian 'granularity' of the stuff that's flowing.
Let's invent a term for a single "granule" of the stuff. Call it a
"granulon".

In terms of scale, a single "granulon" of the stuff flowing into the
H
atom's nucleus will be as small as a molecule of water in a bathtub
drain. This is _two orders of scale_ downward, downward to the level
of an individual "granulon". And YUP, the thing is bipolar, an exact
microscale analog of the hydrogen atom, just as the H atom
itself is a microscale analog of the CBB universe. And it shares the
same planform that's seen all through nature at every level : two
hemispheres and a common equator spinning on a polar axis.  Just as a
(spinning) black hole is a *gravitic dipole* with clear-cut 'N' and
'S' gravitic poles, a proton is a microscale BH analog with its N and
S magnetic poles (under the CBB model, that is).

And each "granulon" is likewise bipolar with N and S poles.

Remember how a magnetic fields are generated when sufficient numbers
of protons and/or electrons are aligned en masse? Now here comes the
kicker : when sufficient numbers of "granulons" are aligned en masse,
and when that alignment-state is oscillating,

_This is the mechanism of the propagation of light and all EM
radiation_.
   It is the propagation mechanism of Maxwell's E and H fields.

Further, this is the basis of why there is NO PERCEPTIBLE UPPER LIMIT
TO THE AMPLITUDE OF ENERGY TRANSMISSIBLE BY EM RADIATION, the
fundamental perception from which the CBB model nucleated.

Since the sub-Planckian energy density (or energy equivalence)
surpasses nuclear on the scale that nuclear surpasses chemical
(expressed fancifully as "E=mc^3"), it's easy to see that
unfathomably
high amplitudes of EM radiation are propagated by the oscillating
alignment-state and degree of alignment of "granulons" en masse.

Bipolar "granulons" composing the sub-Plank energy
domain (or SPED) would obviously explain polarization of light.

And their having a vorticed 'whirlpool' nature was suggested in a
bygone
era by Bernoulli and son. See -
http://www.scientificblogging.com/recreational_number_theory/dark_matter_and_dar
k_energy


(End re-post)

So the "carrier" of the SPED is ever-finer matrices of bipolar
"granulons" embodying ever-ascending levels of energy density.

The principle of *embeddedness* has been discussed here many times,
i.e., how an atom (the H atom for example) is like a vacuole or
'bubble' embedded in the SPED, and how our macro-universe is likewise
embedded bubble-like in the "SPED" of a higher cosmos.. making our
macro-universe a simple H atom in that higher cosmos. This principle
of universe-as-atom, with the H atom the 'interlock' or 'overlap'
stage, is the structure of infinity itself, extending forever upward
and outward, cosmos beyond cosmos, and forever downward into matter
(under the CBB model, that is).

Actually that's pretty fascinating, especially to anyone
who has studied chaos theory.  "Order within apparent
chaos," and all that...

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ed/Phoenix(Julia).gif

Infinitely upward, forever downward, truly staggering.

There are two chasms here, Bill... First the one that
will exist for a long time between relativity and quantum
theories.  And then there's the gap between the "Royal"
big bang of cosmology and Wolter's CBB.  This second
chasm is marked most vividly by the fact that the CBB
model, while already an impossible model to physically
experience, goes beyond quantum mechanics into the
realm of subPlanck wavelengths--frequencies so high
that they truly boggle the mind (even moreso than
particle physics does).

Since, as you say, acceptance of the CBB model would
swiftly lead to bridging the abyss between relativity and
quantum mechanics, and since this acceptance would
most likely be brought about by understanding what you
posted above, i'd say you are correct that it will be a
very long time before science is able to free itself from
the quicksand of the VSP.

Note to Jeff... neither oc nor Paine invented the void-
space paradigm.  The reason you don't hear about it in
science is because it is now seen as a fundamental and
automatically accepted axiom.  Scientists "KNOW" that
there is no ether, that space is nothing, a void.  And as
you probably already know, when anybody makes their
mind up about something, thinking stops.

And the only way to start it back up again is to come up
with an amazing and outrageous way to burst science's
bubble!

Jeff▲Relf - 07 May 2008 04:52 GMT
The aether was replaced by 4-D fields, not a “ void nothing ”.

Scientists like Fermilab's Tom Roberts understand
that 4-D relativistic fields ( gravity and ElectroMagneticism )
are the best explanation of how things really are.

Of course, where information is lacking,
one must resort to the semi-random ( i.e. statistical ) realm
of Quantum Mechanics ( e.g. the Path Integral ).

It's mostly the layman that has touble with:
invisible / endless / 4-D / unblockable / unponderable  fields.

So he conjures up aether-like notions,
300 year old Newtonian concepts that doen't fit today's understanding.

Although the 4-D gravitational field is mostly ignored
when doing high-energy physics, there'd be no space without it,
no standard yarstick, no standard second, no nothing !

Petkov ( 2005 ) has this to say:
“ This paper pursues two aims.

 First, to show that the block universe view, regarding the universe as
 a timelessly existing four-dimensional world,
 is the only one that is consistent with special relativity.

 Second, to argue that special relativity alone can resolve
 the debate on whether the world is
 three-dimensional or four-dimensional.

 The argument advanced in the paper is that
 if the world were three-dimensional

 the kinematic consequences of special relativity and more importantly
 the experiments confirming them would be impossible. ”.

All very fascinating, Jeff.  What you don't seem to get
here is that, while the Universe, space-time and all the
matter in it, is made up of a four-dimensional _spatial_
(aka "gravitational") field, just about everybody cannot
seem to get past the thinking that material objects are...

  "in space"

as if physical objects displace space.  This leads to the
incorrect assumption that 4-D spatial energy is also...

  "in space"

and that the energy "fills" space.  Does this not say to
you that such assumptions base themselves upon the
obvious axiom that space is an empty void that is filled
by matter and energy?

Yes, space-time is comprised of 4-D spatial energy.
AND matter is also comprised of this same energy.  It
can be easily converted into the lower grade energies
that are familiar to us.  But let's face it, Jeff.  That's
about as far as our science has taken us, isn't it?  No
farther.  And going farther will be impossible until
scientists accept the fact that space-time is NOT "filled"
with matter and energy, but instead space-time and
matter are COMPRISED of all matter and energy.

Eggzackly. Sub-Planckian-wavelength energy density, fancifully
expressed as "E=mc^3".

The earth upon which we stand, and the stars, constitute the very
*lowest* energy and longest-wavelength state of the spatial medium,
residing on 'this side' of the Planck line. This sprinkling of Matter,
in terms of its energy density, is the proverbial, ephemeral and
transient 'dustbunny' tagging along for the ride.
                    Yet the starry firmament testifies to the awesome
dynamism of space itself, each star an incandescing 'vent point' of
the hyperpressurized medium venting down to its lowest pressure
state.

"Fancifully" is not quite the word I would use; considering that the
units are not even close to balancing.

Energy density has units of Watts per unit volume:

Energy density =/= energy

What does mass in this "Sub-Planckian-wavelength energy density"
expression mean?

Hey look!  You came up with that one all on your
own!  Good for you, Mother!  Bill, i think he's just
beginning to actually get it.  This fundamental
realization symbolized by the non-equation above
brings him that much closer to being a full-fledged
CBB cadet!

(Gee, i hope he'll like his new duds.  The toroid
athletic supporter takes a little getting used to.)

> What does mass in this "Sub-Planckian-wavelength energy density"

Geez, i had to think about that one for a moment.
As if you didn't know, the m-for-mass in the highly
acclaimed symbolic non-equation...

                               E = mc³

means the same thing as it means in the popular
true equation (where the units _do_ match up)...

                               E = mc²

                                    !

And the E-for-energy means the same thing, too!
And shock of all shocks, the speed of light, c (for
celeritas!), also means the same thing.  The only
difference is that in the fanciful expression (that i
just reached up and pulled down out of the sky like
a rabid graviton) the speed of light is CUBED rather
than SQUARED.

THAT'S why we call it a "fanciful expression", Mom.

And that's all i can tell you.  The rest is classified.
I could tell you, but then i'll have to cut your tongue
out so you cannot spread the word, and slice your
fingers off so you cannot write or type it out, and
bludgeon your . . . well, you get the idea...

We can only hope. [tinw]

These are not analogies or parables, but quite literal. "Venturi"
would be the analogy, illustrating diminishing pressure as the flow
accelerates through a narrowing aperture, with the flow stretching in
the axis of flow. The most extreme example would be the
"spagettification" one would experience falling into a BH.

"4-D fields", whatever that's interpreted to mean, is no different in

Jeff▲Relf - 08 May 2008 23:02 GMT
You don't know it, and you never will know it,
but General and Special Relativity are 4-D.

ElectroMagnetic and gravitational fields ( 4-D hyperstructures )
are more real than your “ Sky Pixies ” and your “ Void Nothing ”;
without 4-D fields, there's no space, no time, no pressure, no nothing.

Tell you what, Jeff. You seem a nice enough fella, and comport
yourself with civility. But you're stuck at the level of reciting this
"4-D fields" stuff by rote without the foggiest idea of what it
*means*. Is the '4' interepreted to mean the fourth dimension, time?
Then consider this : What IS time, anyway, but a human construct based
on our experience of cycles and periodicities in nature? Sure, there
is the 'tick of time' or clock rate, which varies with the pressure/
density value of the spatial medium. But it certainly isn't a
"dimension" (with apologies to Uncle Albert for impugning his
construct of 'space-time' which is an acoutrement of the void-space
paradigm). But once the reality of the spatial medium, the SPED, is
recognized, such constructs fall away and are not needed. Our three
dimensions are quite sufficient, thank you.
               But you will continue reciting the '4-D' stuff anyway.
So there is really no basis for dialog with you.
Jeff▲Relf - 09 May 2008 01:21 GMT
Time is a spatial dimension like up and down, east and west.
Why ? because nothing is acausal, because randomness is ignorance.
Ignorance ( randomness ) makes time seem directional.

> Time is a spatial dimension like up and down, east and west.

> Ignorance ( randomness ) makes time seem directional.

In a way, this is not such a bad way of looking at
reality, Jeff.  Everything moves.  And moves in time.

So the three obvious spatial dimensions change
position in time, and this change can be measured
and seen as a 4th dimension.  I think that's what
Einstein meant.  It's a good place to begin a deep
understanding of relativity.  Because that's what
he was leading people to.

Watch out!  Because in general relativity, Einstein
gives the four dimensions a tricky, relativistic little
twist.  It's where the staid and narrow-minded are
always tripped up.

Understand GR, and there really is no incompatibility
with QM.  Study Einstein's relativistic field that is the
basic building block of space-time, and the pieces of
the puzzle start to come together.

The concept of "empty space" fades away, becomes
meaningless.  Movement, vibration, all things being
connected by the spatial field.  It seems a lot like
metaphysics, but in reality it gives a certain amount
of substance to the idea that life is a very real part
of  everything.

One advantage held by the unwashed "layman" is to have somehow
escaped the 'no medium', void-space indoctrination. He/she is freed to
*think* rationally instead of reciting by rote the quagmire of
"fields", "exchange particles", "messenger particles", "dark matter/
dark energy", "eleven dimensions" and an ever-mounting patchwork of
kludges, "adding epicycles" to make an impossible paradigm "work".

What you call an "impossible paradigm" are mathematical models backed
by experimental verification that are the result of the hard work by
many very intelligent people over many scores of years.  Your claim
that they did all this after being "indoctrinated" in an arbitrary mode
of thinking is hollow and falls flat, and implies that people cannot
think for themselves.  You are quite wrong, and you refuse to even
consider that you are wrong.

The "impossible paradigm" that oc cites above is the
VSP (void-space paradigm), Mother.  It is the across-
the-board acceptance by science that space-time is
nothing but an empty vacuum, a "container" of all
ponderable bodies.

This paradigm is NOT a math model nor a set of math
models backed by neither empirical nor observational
verifications of any kind.  This axiom is not the result
of hard work by anybody.  It is a mere axiom.  It is
accepted by science without question.  Anybody who
questions it by suggesting that space is actually made
of "something", rather than just being an empty void
nothing vacuum, is branded a scientific heretic and
sent to the Siberia of science to sip coffee and rum
and rub elbows with other excommunicated souls.

Even Einstein, who had the audacity to suggest that
space-time was indeed an energy field, a "relativistic"
field, has been laid aside like so much garbage.  But
this axiom, this paradigm, this VSP is accountable for
the fact that science is stuck in the mud.  Science will
not advance until Einstein's relativistic field theory is
picked up, brushed off and taken for a nice, long, fast
spin around the lab.

Until this happens, until the scientific method is
rigorously applied to Einstein's relativistic field theory
of space-time, all the great puzzles that keep puzzling
us will continue to itch our scalps!...

You don't get out much, do ya, Jeff.  Here's one...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Guth#Confirmation

His name is Alan Guth, and he's one of the foremost
particle physicists and cosmologists of our age.  He's
also known as "The Father of Inflation Theory".  And
as you may have gleaned, his inflation theory is not
required in Wolter's CBB model.

Guth writes of "empty space", "vacuums", "false
vacuums", and so forth.  Unfortunately, he is also a
great lover of string theory.  Oh well, nobody's
perfect.

This is just one instance, one cosmologist as you
wished for.  There are many, many others.  Do a
search, and you will see.  You will find many varied
beliefs about space and space history out there, but
you will also find that every mainstream story out
there includes ponderable objects that FILL a volume
of space, that are "in space" rather than extensions
of space.

I've searched myself, and i have yet to find anybody
except Albert Einstein himself who wrote about such
bodies being "spatial extensions" and that space is
comprised of a relativistic gravitational field.

Yeah, if you recall this was discussed many times over the years
before ol' Jeff showed up. Besides Guth, there was Dr. Andy Albrecht,
one of the co-founders of inflation theory. Albrecht teamed up briefly
with Dr. Joao Magueijo, a firebrand 'maverik' mainstreamer who
proposes an alternative to inflation : There is a precipitous drop in
the speed of light across the "inflation" spike which resolves the
Horizon Problem as if by magic (and dispels several niggling little
problems with inflation as well). Magueijo and Albrecht called their
model VSL (for 'varying speed of light). If interested, Google
'Magueijo-Albrecht VSL'.
                BUT there's one problem with their VSL model: it
requires violation of the Lorentz invariance, one of the biggest no-
nos in physics. Recognizing this, Albrecht quickly got cold feet and
back-pedaled back to the safety of "approved" theory (i.e.,
inflation). But Magueijo remains steadfast and soldiers on, openly
stating he is willing to violate Lorentz anyway. Talk about big brass
cajones (!).  But Magueijo as a Void-Spacer has no concept of the
*mechansim* of the lightspeed drop he nonetheless intuits to be real.

The CBB model supplies that mechanism : the precipitous pressure/
density drop of the spatial medium at the instant of emergence from
the BB (the so-called "inflation" spike).
http://community-2.webtv.net/oldcoot/ContinuousBigBang/page2.html
                 If Magueijo understood this, he could have his VSL
with no need to violate Lorentz (or any other constant for that
matter). He could "have his cake and eat it too". :-)

There are at least three other 'maverik' mainstreamers, Barrow,
Moffatt and Troitskii, who recognize a lightspeed drop similar to
Magueijo's, but with a less precipitous gradient than Magueijo's  But
being Void-Spacers, they likewise have no concept of the *mechanism*
behind the drop.

One caveat if Googling on this subject : the name Barry Setterfield
will come up frequently. He is a biblical creationist who has hijacked
the VSL theory to propound his creationist agenda.

Consider Alan Guth's “ empty space ” and “ false vacuum ”.

You need a standard yardstick to measure its volume,
a standard clock to measure its duration,
and a watt balance to measure the pressure it contains.

In your mind, all that crap is a “ void nothing ”,
but, in Guth's mind, its very complex.

Guth knows “ empty space ” is defined in terms of 4-D fields
and / or the statistics of quantum mechanics.

Even though I'm not quite as smart as Alan, I'd have to agree that 4-D
fields likely do exist, as well as dark matter, dark energy and
antimatter (aka collectively the other 96% of our universe).

And so Guth discards Einstein like all the rest.  And
Guth continues down a dead-end pathway.  There
is no such thing as "empty space", Jeff.  There is
no empty vacuum, false or otherwise.  It almost
seems as if your 4-D fields coincide with Einstein's
relativistic spatial/gravitational field, but the diff is
that you still see the 4-D field as "occupying" space.
The diff is that the field *IS* space.  Space is made
of, is comprised of the spatial/gravitational field.

So the term "empty vacuum" has no meaning, and
certainly no place in reality nor in science, the study
of reality.

Here's a coupla fascinating forays into some details, minutiae and
particulars (DMP) for DMP aficianados. It might give some insight into
why Uncle Albert never found contentment and had "sad eyebrows".

And after that in-depth foray into the DMP of Mercury's orbital
precession, one can step back and look at it from the overview or 'big
picture'.

While all the planets' orbits precess, Mercury's precession is much
more pronounced. Why is this so? It's much deeper in the sun's gravity
well where the clock runs slower (relative to us 'out here'). And why
is it slower? Because the pressure/density of the spatial medium
'there' is lower, and becomes lower and lower the deeper you penetrate
into the sun's gravity well. This is the _mechanism_ behind the
effect.

GR is in toto a description of effects, not the explanation of the
mechanism causing the effects.
oldcoot - 10 May 2008 17:22 GMT
This guy writing under the pen name 'Miles Mathis' has an interesting
synopsis on the Pioneer anomaly wherein he relates it to the clock
rate.

http://milesmathis.com/pion.html

From the thumbnail sketch of the 'big picture' again, one can look at
the P.A. as an inverse of the "anomaly" of Mercury's perihelion
precession. That is, from here at our vantage point on Earth, when
looking at Mercury, we're looking deeper into the sun's gravity well
where the pressure/density (PD) of space is lower, where the clock
runs slower, and incidently, space is stretched sun-ward in the
direction of flow as in the 'venturi' analogy.
                Whereas when we look 'waaay out at where the Pioneer
craft are, the reverse is true ; the PD value of space is higher, the
clock runs faster, and space is *contracted* sun-ward in the direction
of flow.

This contraction of space in addition to the clock rate, is what's
being missed in all current theories (including M.Mathis') about the
Pioneer anomaly.

One can have more fun with this. In deep-past lookback, deep into the
*cosmological density gradient*, where the PD value of space is
beginning to climb exponentially back towards the BB, where the clock
rate is climbing concomitantly with it, space is also *contracting*
relative to us 'out here'. So what does this say about the "size of
the universe"??

Dear oldcoot:  I just explained the same thing to Jeff, so I'll copy
it for you:

Dear Jeff: The correct 'model' to explain gravity is varying ether
density and flow around massive objects.  Try to visualize a varying
density (according to the inverse square law) ether envelope around
the sun that rotates as the sun rotates.  When Mercury's elliptical
orbit approaches the sun (right hand rule), the ether flow is WITH the
velocity of Mercury.  But the closer in to the sun Mercury gets, the
more effective the ether is in KICKING the ellipse.  This is the cause
of the slow precession, NOT varying space-time!
    Einstein’s GR was a mathematical ANALOGY of the observed effects,
NOT a cause of those effects.  Ether density and flow explains every
observation in nature supposedly "predicted" by Einstein!  —

Sorry but no cigar. What you're describing is the Lense-Thirring or
'frame dragging' effect. The sun's rotation rate is many orders of
magnitude too small to generate the effect you describe. You'd begin
seeing it with a millisecond pulsar which can rotate at up several
hundred revolutions *per second*, or with a high spin-rate black hole
which can spin much faster.

> This is the cause
> of the slow precession, NOT varying space-time!

Nope.

> Einstein’s GR was a mathematical ANALOGY of the observed effects,
> NOT a cause of those effects.  

Yep, it's a brilliantly crafted metaphor (e.g., "curvature of space")
describing observed effects, but scrupulously avoiding explaining the
mechanism _causing_ the effects. The "curvature of space" for
instance, describes the
**rate of acceleration** of flowing space. It is GR's accelerometer
readout. No acceleration = no "curvature" = no gravity *irrespective
of the actual velocity of the flow* (in sub-relativistic speed
regimes, that is).

> Ether density and flow explains every
> observation in nature supposedly "predicted" by Einstein!  —

Indeed. But please ditch the archaic and stigma-ridden 'E' word and
replace it with something more definitive and descriptive of the
spatial medium.. like sub-Planck(ian) energy domain or SPED.
oldcoot - 11 May 2008 00:41 GMT

Dear oldcoot:  I never said that the ether envelope of the sun
revolves at the same speed that the sun does.  The actual angle and
velocity of the ether flow will influence how much Mercury gets
"kicked".  The "big spot" on Jupiter is the point where her spiral of
ether reaches the surface.  One can calculate the "angle" of the
spot's ellipse.  That will give an approximation of the angles of
ether reaching the sun.  The huge radiant output of the sun tries to
push the ether away.  That accounts for the surface "roughness" of the
sun, and likely influences the location of sun spots and solar flares.

Note: I base my explanations on my own reasoning, not on the bits and
pieces of the reasoning of others.  Since ether flow and density
explains things, and because of my invalidation of M-M (no CONTROL), I
reinstate ETHER as the fundamental energy source in the universe.
Screw Planck!  — NoEinstein —

The Great Red Spot is an *atmospheric* vorticity, a cyclonic storm in
other words. And it's generated by gradients of windspeeds in the
bands circling the planet. Vorticities occur whenever there's a
sufficiently high velocity gradient in a flow (or between bands of
flow, as on Jupiter). As long as the gradients remain high, Jupiter's
Spot will remain. But if the gradients subside the Spot will fade too.
Nothing to do with "ether reaching the surface".

Dear oldcoot:  "Storms" form circular disturbances, and move.  The
elliptical spot has remained unchanged for a very long time.  —

By analogy, take a gander at the eddies and whorls in a river caused
by various irregularities, submerged rocks etc. on the riverbed. Those
surface whorls "remain unchanged", appearing as discrete, stationary
entities while the river is what moves (flows).  In Jupiter's case,
it's the differential in windspeeds circling the planet that passes a
critical value, breaking into the *vorticity* that is the Great Red
Spot. It is a *storm* of indeterminate longevity, and will remain so
as long as the differential in windspeeds remains high enough to
sustain it.

Dear oldcoot: In order for what you say to be true, there would have
to be a few gigantic mountains to cause the whirling.  But please
note: Jupiter is a gaseous planet without mountains.  And if the spot
was just a whirlpool, it would still form a CIRCLE.  — NoEinstein —

Two suggestions.
#1: Pull out a dictionary and look up the definition of [ analogy ].
Then re-read :

> > By analogy, take a gander at the eddies and whorls in a river caused
> > by various irregularities, submerged rocks etc. on the riverbed. Those

The purpose of analogies is to illustrate by correspondance of
function in things otherwise unlike.. in this case the "remaining
unchanged" property of whorls, vorticices etc. generated by flow of a
medium.

> But please
> note: Jupiter is a gaseous planet without mountains.  And if the spot
> was just a whirlpool, it would still form a CIRCLE.  —

It's elongated due to shear of different windspeeds in the
latitudinally-flowing bands. To repeat :

> > In Jupiter's case,
> > it's the differential in windspeeds circling the planet that passes a
> > critical value, breaking into the *vorticity* that is the Great Red
> > Spot. It is a *storm* of indeterminate longevity, and will remain so

Suggestion #2 : take a course in remedial reading.

Dear oldcoot: That "spot" isn't right next to either of the bands.
There is a border.  If your whirl analogy were correct, there would be
a "mirror" of the spot disturbance in the adjacent bands.  By mirror I
mean: a corresponding disturbance, not necessarily a semi-ellipse.
    If you are concerned about my reading ability, try 'writing'
worthy stuff—not just cock-sure stuff.  I tend to take longer reading
things that make sense.  So far your replies haven't justified my

Nothin' to do with "ether rising to the surface". Strictly due to the

Hey-a Jeffo. Got a question for you. First off, we do agree that a
very REAL force is involved in the stellar collapse that culminates in
a supernova, right? That is to say, gravity is not a 'fictititious' or
psuedo-force, right? A very real force directly powers the collapse of
a massive star.

A supernova is one of the most dramatic displays of gravity-in-action
that Nature has to offer. As such, it provides a profound litmus test
for various theories of gravity.

SO, since "4-D fields" is your bailiwick of choice, kindly explain the
literal _acting mechanism of causation_ by which your 4-D fields POWER
the stellar collapse that powers the fusion that rebounds as supernova
blast, leaving that massive star crushed down to a black hole. Please
fill in the blank_____________.
Jeff▲Relf - 08 May 2008 02:15 GMT
I have no theories about supernovae cum ( apparent ) black holes.
A “ 4-D field ” ( ElectroMagnetic or Gravitational ) isn't a “ force ”,
nor a ponderable object, nor a wave, nor a source of drag.

You want it to be something you can easily comprehend,
something familiar, but nature doesn't have to oblige you.

Translation: "Doh!"

So apparently your worldview does not embrace the self-evident : the
SCO, the hyperpressure state of the spatial medium which exceeds
degeneracy pressure of the atomic nucleus, which unifies gravity and
the strong nuclear force in the Unified Field of Spatial Flows... AND
explains the _causal mechanism_  powering the stellar collapse that
culminates in a supernova.

No, not really.  I'd settle for something i can *eventually*
comprehend.  It doesn't necessarily have to be "easy" to
understand.  And we like to relate unfamiliar things to
familiar things as much as possible in order to better
understand the unfamiliar things.  Nature does not have
to oblige us, but it eventually yields to our need to find
the source, the cause of something.  People are generally
too tenacious for this to not be the case.

And if oc's model is so easily comprehended, why don't
most people comprehend it?  Art Deco's not stupid, and
yet he doesn't comprehend it. You are one of the smarter
ones, yet you don't see how close you are to reality with
that 4-D field idea you write about.

I would like to hear more about your "hyper-rock", if you
don't mind, Jeff. Please explain it as if you're talking to a
four-year-old.  TIA

 or, The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance With Death ” ?
 
It's philosophical novel about World War II and causality.

Your life is like a static  Read-Only  book, today is one page,
and a machine is turning the pages for you;
i.e. you can't alter the speed, or jump around.

At times, electroMagnetic and gravitational fields
are predictable enough to be modeled like that, in 4-D;
General Relativity wouldn't work if that weren't true.

Darwin showed we're related to monkeys,
Einstein showed we're hyperrocks ( i.e. static 4-D hyperstructures );
your lifespan is just as finite as your volume.

Nature does it's thing ( however random ), we adapt or die.

Nice try, Jeff!  I understand, except the restrictions.
I don't see how a four-dimensional hyperrock could
possibly be so restricted.  What's gonna happen when
the human hyperrocks of Earth figure out how to fly
through space to unknown stars and stellar systems?
Who could possibly predict the outcome, and how
would s/he do it?

Great question, Mother!  Sort of a "what's the ultimate
purpose of gravity" type of question?

Gravity creates stars and destroys stars.  Gravity makes
planets to orbit around the stars for awhile.  Gravity
balances out the great outward forces of stars until the
fuel is spent.  Gravity keeps stars relatively near each
other in clusters and in galaxies.  Gravity keeps galaxies
near each other in galaxy clusters and superclusters.

What gives?

Who knows?

It's not even necessary to understand the CBB model. The simple FS
models of Shifner, Lindner, Warren et al, which have no concept of the
CBB, are quite sufficient. They recognize one Flow that ends up going
into the atomic nucleus (e.g., Lindner's 'hadronic flow'). That one
Flow, at increasing levels of acceleration, manifests first as gravity
and finally as the strong nuclear force within the atom. Voila`-
unification of gravity and the SNF. And conciliation of QM and
relativity.. both utter impossibilities under the VSP.

And as stated many times, the humble and familiar Casimir effect
likewise demonstrates relativity-QM unification. The perceived
"attraction" between the two plates is simultaneously the attenuated
SNF and the amped-up gravitational force between the two plates. The
Casimir effect is simply demonstrating the interface zone between
gravity and the SNF. One pressure-driven Flow into the plates'
constituent nuclei is literally *pushing* the plates together, not
"attracting" them.

Invoking the 'River' analogy again, the Casimir flow starts out slow
and placid (gravity), gradually accelerating as the channel narrows,
breaking into rapids before finally plunging over the waterfall (into
the atomic nucleus). The "rapids" are the 'quantum fluctuations' so
popular with the QED afficianados.
                 Under the VSP there is no 'River' to flow and no
possibility whatsoever of QM-relativity conciliation.

And all of these esteemed scientists have the same problem:  where does
the space goo go after it enters these little drains?

More magic -- you need flowing space goo to explain the SNF as well as
gravity, so you just decree that it does by fiat.  That certainly saves
a lot of hard work and brain power.

>unification of gravity and the SNF. And conciliation of QM and

Incorrect; quantum gravity is an active research topic.  How do you
know that it cannot success?  I'll go ahead and assume you understand
what the word "research" means.

More physics by fiat -- you have decreed that the Casimir effect is
"gravitational", thus it is so.  Unfortunately for you, it was
predicted by quantum mechanics long before it was verified
experimentally.  Also unfortunately for you, it is neither
gravitational or nuclear -- it is instead a peculiar result of
quantized EM fields.

Wrong -- it is quantum field theory.

And you invocation of the Casimir effect does nothing to support this
preconceived physics-by-fiat notion.

Where do YOU think it might go, Mother?  Do you think
that the hard-working nuclear forces do not need constant
replenishment?  Do you believe that the SNF and the WNF
are examples of perpetual energy/forces/motion?

The dense and high-grade subPlanck energy of the spatial
field flows into each and every atomic nucleus of each and
every element that exists in this Universe.  In so doing, it
gives the nuclear forces the "kick" they need to keep hard
at work doing all that they do.

If you have a better explanation, give it a punt.

Yeah, yada yada. The ubiquitous 'Roach Motel' issue, discussed here
many times. Wherever the stuff 'goes to', whatever strange nonlocal
realm constitutes the lowest-pressure 'gound state', is the same
"place" where it's repressurized and 'comes from' in the Big Bang, the
*continuous* BB. To view the process of gravitation is to view *quite
literally* the reverse of the BB process, in real time. The BB and
gravitation comprize a natural dipole sharing the same nonlocal
'ground state'.

One fundamental tenet of the CBB model is the proton being the
microscale analog of a (spinning) black hole (and of the Primal
Particle as well). That means the proton is replete with its own
'event horizon' where the flow velocity into the proton reaches c.
                 OK. It was Double-A who recently was expressing a
sort of  'fixation' on the fact that time slows to a stop at a BH's
event horizon. The stoppage of time at the EH is as perceived in our
frame 'out here'.. while the clock still runs at the normal rate in
the frame 'there'. Applied to the proton's EH, this would see the
inflow *appearing* to stop at the EH.
This is in line with Painius' concept of the inflow appearing to
'peter out' sorta like a California dry lake. And it would give the
proton the appearance and nature of a 'solid' point particle.

By contrast, Wolter was concerned with "where the stuff goes" and
agonized no end over the 'Roach Motel' issue during his last few
months, finally resolving to his own satisfaction while studying the
work of Bohm and Pribram.

Well said.

Forgot to add - if the 'Roach Motel' issue invalidates the FS model of
gravity, then the BB theory is invalid also, and for the same reason.
It doesn't address where the stuff  'comes from'.

Photons can't slow down. photons do not bounce  Photons can curve,and
reality is they never transverse in an exact straight line from A to B
They are absorbed and emitted carrying out one of natures great
