Gravity: A Theory in Crisis

May 5, 2009 — Note: This is **not** a joke. How could gravity be a theory in crisis? Isn’t gravity one of the best-understood facts of nature? Don’t we all avoid jumping off cliffs because of the law of gravity? Gravity is doing just fine, thank you. It’s our theory of gravity, and the cosmology built on it, that is in crisis – according to a report on PhysOrg today: “Study plunges standard Theory of Cosmology into Crisis.”...

Maybe you can explain what it is about physics that necessitates an old earth?

I rarely say it, but I have what appears (to me at least) to be a coherent theory of gravity. SImply put, mass is it's own dimensional phenomenon and remains at all TIMES constant. Spacetime warp is simply a function of mass and absolute velocity (implying, of course that a set of absolute zero conditions, including velocity, exists). As a mass moves through this time wrp, it's apparent 4th dimensional energy state is altered in such a way as to keep its 5th dimensional "q" constant.

The theory has a lot of fascinating corollaries, and even suggests a method for building anti-gravity engines. Interested parties, see my tagline.

Radioactive decay and the resulting extra heat produced by accelerated decay.

Have you met my brother? Yeah, he's heavy.

He'd be heavy on the Moon.

Naturalism, a Religion in Crisis!

[Pox]

No no no! You see, the whole point behind the regular posting of this gibberish by GGG is to try and convince people that if any possible flaw in any theory that does not support creation has been found, any reworking of said theory is pointless and useless as the flaw implies that creationism is the only alternative and creationism MUST be the correct answer.

[[If the warping of spacetime is what gravity is, why have we left the temporal accumulation out of the reasoning?]]

Because evolution hasn’t equipted us to deal rationally with such warped discussions

I’m sorry to admit I actually got that reference. Maybe it’s because I’m getting older and parts of my body are falling.

[Landru]

"Because evolution hasn’t equipted us to deal rationally with such warped discussions"

But-but, that's twisted reasoning.

Sorry, had to.
Metaphors run amok do this to me. :o)

[La Lydia]

It’s funny what sticks in my mind.

[[Quantum mechanics is definitely not for lightweights. Some of the theoretical implications are so paradoxical that trying to wrap your mind around them is like trying to nail water to a wall - with a hammer made of light and a faucet that wasn’t turned on until tomorrow.]]

Yep but hte great thing is that if you mistekenly come up with a wrong answer, you can just sleep Backwards that evening, and wake up the day before, and start all over again

[Some hope remaining.]

The mass of my upper and lower eyelids increased significantly while I was reading this article, causing them to irresistably attract each other.

"I'll let you all know if I keep flying when I pull the power back to idle."

And I'll hold my breath until we receive your report...

LOL

His one eye was in love with his other- they kept starign at each other

[editor-surveyor]

"Any changes to theory will still have physics and astronomy being incompatible with the notion that the universe was created 6,000 years ago"

Relax! There's no incompatibility; it fits like glove when you leave out the fairy tales of naturalistic religion.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

Oh, little things like geology, fossils arranged in neat layers where you never find modern mammals or humans mixed with dinosaurs, stuff like that.

As far as astronomy is concerned, the idea that things are billions of light years away implying that the universe is older than 6,000 years is a start.

temporal quanta

How do we know that "temporal quanta" exist?

[MHGinTN]

I disagree, but that’s grist for another mill.
