Ride on up if you like, we have spare rooms, heat and air, hot and cold running water, cutting edge everything for creature comforts, mattresses and blankets.   I know you are wondering but it's not a Trump Tower.
Almost forgot something, a leaky barn.  😁🏍😎

Not Gospel but the is significant scientific evidence to support the assertion.

Oldfeller - I have to say - awesome posts!  It's great to see your insightful posts and your intelligent takes on the information.

Although I'm agnostic, I like how you lay out planck time in accordance with the bible - I get it, but as we keep finding out, Man has little grasp on that period of existence. (not to mention that we have no real way of quantifying our existence/God/intent, etc.)  However, you put it together in a very compelling way!

Not to say that I'm gonna go and join up with a church anytime soon, but your posts actually do enforce the idea that we as humans are just trying to find our way/purpose/meaning in this fleeting micro-minute period of time.  To me, that's the basis of all religions (flawed, though they might be) .

Keep up the great posts!

There are a lot of questions there Lancer  

And most of them, I am not qualified to answer. But they do prompt some thoughts about the nature of knowledge. I'll respond a little, mostly just to explore the ideas.

You are correct: space and time are bent. That is not a new concept. In fact, since Einstein, space and time have been considered inseparable. Hence the term 'space/time'.

Speculations about black holes can be extrapolated from our knowledge that a clock in space records a different 'speed' of time than a clock on the Earth's surface. In fact, it has been demonstrated that a clock at the top of a tower reads time at a different rate to one in the basement. That is another example of the value of developments in precision instrumentation.

The mass of an object bends space, in the same way a bowling ball creates a dip in the surface of a trampoline. The more mass, the more space/time is compressed. In astronomical terms, the Earth is not very dense (massive). Therefore the compression in space/time is comparatively small. Black holes are massive, therefore the compression in space/time is astounding.

I am already reaching beyond my ability to speak authoritatively on that subject. So I'll stop there.


I agree, a lot of ideas have changed. However, in astronomy, they tend to change in the same direction, not back and forth. Astronomers, and other scientists tend to be very conservative. Early astronomers were trying to find evidence for what they thought was a finite universe: the Earth was at the centre, there were nine celestial bodies, and then the sphere of the stars. As they collected better data and better mathematical methods, they learned that it was bigger than they thought. Eventually they realised the Sun was not at the centre of the universe, but rather, it was just one star among many. This had been hypothesized by philosophers such as Rene Descartes and Giordano Bruno. The latter was burned at the stake by the church for heresy.

The question of steady state, versus expanding universe was answered pretty well by the discoveries of the Hubble telescope, and calculations based on the red-shift of light travelling over distances. The universe is not only almost unimaginably big, it is also flying apart at an incredible speed.

Yes knowledge on the subject has changed, but as I mentioned earlier, the changes have always been in the same direction. The more we learn, the bigger it gets.

I mentioned "strange energy" that is known about and acknowledged by the Hadron Collider people who are just shocked that LENR guys are seeing it in their little bitty no account low power LENR rig ups.

We got 4 LENR experimenters partially confirming this with different viewpoints and certainly different equipment and rigs.

Watch this video, make no assumptions it really is a hunk of pure black iron that partially changed its physical properties -- think of it as a block of plastic if you like.    I am personally a lot more comfortable thinking it to be a block of styrofoam or plastic, really ......

HOWEVER, if you look at the after pictures, sure looks like "something" that got real real hot and some force TWISTED it and collapsed it in on itself.

The table didn't scorch or melt --- we are being told the rectangular block stayed at close to room temperature.

My disbelief is really really high on this one, as if it is real then we don't know SQUAT about metals and atoms and lattices etc. etc.      This smells like a shill being rung in by a skeptopath to cloud and distract people -- but who knows, someone in LENR will try to replicate it to verify or to deny it.

There's a difference between 'how far we can see' and the outer limits of the 'observable universe'.

The term 'observable universe' is a technical term referring to a limitation created by the speed of light. Furthermore, due to the expansion of the universe (which was not subject to the limits of the speed of light), it is possible to see things, as they were at one point in time, but which are now further away than we will ever be able to see - we just see them as they were when the light left them.
