Blog 20160224 Preposterous concepts in regressive physics

George Coyne

Without any doubt the Big Bang Theory (BBT) is the most preposterous idea because, being a cosmogony theory, it violates the law of conservation of energy, which states, “the total energy of an isolated system remains constant—it is said to be conserved over time. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, rather, it transforms from one form to another.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy

In addition, the BBT has been falsified in several different ways and therefore is a totally discredited theory that should be abandoned by serious scientists.

Another preposterous concept in regressive physics is the photon. Because no material can travel at light speed, regressive physics requires the photon not to have any mass, which is a ridiculous and contradictory idea. The photon supposedly exists even though it has no rest mass and it somehow magically is able to generate waves in a vacuum, which by definition has no medium to “wave”. This is the most amusing thing that I have ever encountered. In reality, there is no photon or any other light-associated particle moving through space. The 299,792,458 meters per second speed attributed to the photon” is actually the speed at which the aether creates waves, although even this is not constant throughout the universe. As Glenn Borchardt comments: “As distance increases the velocity of light increases.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTg04QE2qQw

The actual medium for light waves is composed of aether particles. These particles do not travel from the source to the destination, as is supposed to happen with mythical “photons”.

The conventional view concerning the propagation of waves including light is in Wikipedia: “For electromagnetic waves, propagation may occur in a vacuum as well as in a material medium. Other wave types cannot propagate through a vacuum and need a transmission medium to exist.”

The idea that a wave can exist without a medium for it is ridiculous. Einstein may have been incorrect on many things, but he was right when he said “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Preposterous concepts in relativity physics include the hypothesis that motion can occur independently of matter, “photons” can travel through a vacuum of curved spacetime at a constant speed, and energy is a thing, are not helpful ideas in moving science toward a more accurate scientific paradigm of the cosmos.

The Copenhagen model in Quantum mechanics has so many impossible concepts, such as a cat that is simultaneously dead and alive until observed, that even its supporters such as Richard Feynman, the popular physicist, once said, “I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.”

For decades, physicists have been trying to unify these two confused paradigms into one grand theory. Trying to unify theories riddled with contradictions and paradoxes is preposterous and not likely to produce a greater understanding of the universe.

Those in powerful positions in the regressive physics/cosmology community who are proponents of these two models are our modern day Emperors. Just as in “The Emperor's New Clothes” by Hans Christian Andersen, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor's_New_Clothes, Glenn Borchardt can be compared to the child who yelled out "But he isn't wearing anything at all!"

PSI Blog 20160217 LIGO: Gravitational attraction is dead

Numerous readers have requested that I comment on all the commotion concerning the recent discovery of gravitational waves via the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). I will assume that this is the real thing and not just another false alarm.

First, let me quote from page 190 of "The Scientific Worldview" (2007),[1] which is similar to what I wrote in my early manuscript of 1984:[2]

“Current government-supported work involves the search for gravitational waves, the general idea being to detect the results of explosions or collapses of celestial bodies. The success of the project would put the kibosh on the attraction hypothesis. Systems philosophy would shudder, but probably would regain composure by interpreting the data as yet another “proof” of Einstein’s “space curvature” as the “mechanism” of gravitation. Of course, it really would prove nothing more than that space is not empty and that it contains a material medium capable of transmitting motion over great distances.”

Second, let me mention that this is just another “Einsteinism”: “correct prediction, wrong reason.” Although the gravitational-wave press conference totally ignored it, the long-awaited discovery of gravity waves means that THE ATTRACTION HYPOTHESIS IS DEAD—we will have to adopt the push hypothesis instead. A gravitational signal proven to come from a source a billion light years away certainly did not arrive here because of any “attraction” we might have. It is much like a far-away explosion that we hear via the normal changes in air pressure that travel from source to ear. Can we educated folks now refrain from thinking of gravitation as an attraction? Please?

Third, we can now give up the idea that space is empty. The experiment confirms that AETHER MUST EXIST. The press reports stating that the waves travelled through perfectly empty space via compression and decompression are ludicrous. That could never happen. All wave motion requires a medium. That is why Einstein’s corpuscular theory of light is equally ludicrous. Wave motion without a medium is like having water waves without water.

Fourth, the experiment did add one bit of information: the speed of gravitation and the speed of light are identical. That is because they both use the same medium: aether. Presumably, the investigators were able to see the explosion through telescopes and measure the gravitation effect at the same time. This destroys the Le Sage push theory,[3] which requires gravitation to travel at 20 billion times the speed of light.[4] The LIGO signal was delayed by 6.9+0.5 milliseconds due to the distance between the two measurement stations (Livingston, LA and Hanford, WA). It would take light 10 milliseconds to travel the 3,030 km distance overland along the curvature of Earth and slightly less time to travel the 3002 km distance along the chord directly through Earth. Presumably, the black hole merger did not occur exactly along the projected line between the two stations. If the waves traveled at the speed of light, any value less than 10 milliseconds would indicate there was an angle involved. A value greater than 10 milliseconds would indicate that the velocity was less than c.

Fifth, the correct theory of gravitation is the one we proposed in 2012 as the "Neomechanical Gravitation Theory" (NGT).[5] The theory states that aether pressure tends to be highest away from ordinary baryonic matter—just the opposite of atmospheric pressure. Baryonic matter then acts like a vacuum, causing errant material objects to be pushed toward massive objects. Thus, in NGT, gravitation acts locally, in the same way that a helium balloon is pushed upward in the atmosphere due to local pressure differences. Unlike other push theories, NGT does not hypothesize corpuscles or gravitons rushing toward objects from far away at superluminal velocities. The aether particles are already there, surrounding and permeating all baryonic matter. Actually, NGT has much in common with the much-ignored theory proposed by Newton 300 years ago.[6] The key feature of both theories is the presence of aether, which has just been confirmed by the gravitational wave experiment.

The universal presence of aether makes it possible for us to detect waves from distant galaxies, whether they are waves due to light or waves due to explosions that appear as changes in gravitational pressure. The waves detected by LIGO really are not a significant cause of most gravitation, but they are proof that the aether exists.

The discovery gets us closer to finding out what is causing Steve Puetz’s Universal Wave Series cycles[7] that are appearing in our analyses of time series data of historic geological, astronomical, biological, and climatic records.[8] There seem to be no limits to the frequencies of these cycles. They range from days to billions of years.

And from George Coyne:

“This article on gravity is quite interesting:

http://goodfelloweb.com/nature/cgbi/presgrav1.html

I think that the LIGO discovery gives much support to your NGT. The fact that Einstein predicted gravitational waves does not make his GRT correct. It seems more rational that these waves are occurring in the medium of aether than empty space.”

Amen.
