Webb telescope to confirm Infinite Universe Theory

 PSI Blog 20211227 Webb telescope to confirm Infinite Universe Theory

 

As many readers know, cosmogonists are $10-billion dollar-desperate to find evidence for the “beginnings” of their silly expanding universe. The appropriate launch (on Xmas, no less) of the 21’ James Webb Space Telescope marks the beginning of the end for the Last Creation Theory. Being 100 times more powerful than the Hubble telescope, and especially capable in the infrared, it will be able to observe cosmological redshifts much beyond those associated with the imagined 13.8-billion-year age of the universe. Observations that far back in time will have one of three main results:

 

1.   Empty space.

2.   Scattered, young stars just beginning to form.

3.   Elderly galaxies similar to the Milky Way and the two trillion galaxies already observed.

 

According to Infinite Universe Theory, if the Webb is at all successful, still more elderly galaxies will be observed, providing yet another falsification of the Big Bang Theory.

Relationship between matter and energy

PSI Blog 20211213 Relationship between matter and energy

 

This week’s book prize goes to anon who asks:


 “What is the relationship between matter and energy? What does E=mc2 really mean?

 

I understand there is matter and motion (according to your book). There is no matter without motion (verbs/energy) and no motion without matter (nouns/matter)? can u give an analogy for ordinary folks like me without labs to understand?”

 

[GB: I explained this in: “The physical meaning of E=mc2[i],  which is one of my most popular papers—so far, it has had 11,927 reads on ResearchGate.net and 40 reads on Academia.edu.

 

Essentially, energy is a calculation; it neither exists nor occurs. Energy is a matter-motion term, which, like all matter-motion terms, signifies neither matter nor motion. Momentum (P=mv) is another matter-motion term. Like energy, you cannot put some momentum in your back pocket. It is simply a calculation describing the effect of a microcosm (a thing taking up xyz space) upon another microcosm. In other words, all the universe consists of things colliding with other things. When we use a matter-motion term, we are describing the effects of these things colliding with other things. So, energy is neither a noun nor a verb—it is not motion any more than momentum or force is motion.

 

If you read my paper, you will find that the E=mc2 equation is nothing but a description of Newton’s First Law of Motion: a microcosm continues through the universe under its own motion, transferring its motion to other microcosms or obtaining motion from other microcosms. Changes in mass reflect the resistance provided by submicrocosms within that microcosm that are speeded up by those collisions or slowed down when some of that motion is transferred to the supermicrocosms in the macrocosm. Einstein never really understood Maxwell’s E=mc2 equation, because, in the absence of the atmosphere (and aether), he had nothing to transfer motion to supermicrocosms in the environment. Instead, he imagined “energy” fliting off into perfectly empty space by itself as the quasi-thing that mass supposedly was magically transformed into. So, anon, you are not the only one confused about energy and its relation to mass! Hope this clears up some of the confusion.]

Eternity and locality

 PSI Blog 20211206 Eternity and locality

 

By

Jesse Witwer

 

[GB: Occasionally we get interesting links to questions and answers on Quora, which is a generally regressive social media platform. Here are Jesse’s answers to some of those usually naïve questions:]

 

Hi Glenn,

 

Perhaps your readers would enjoy my take and addition of Eternity as a fundamental assumption consupponible with the rest of your assumptions.

 

I also suggested Locality.

 

 

My answer to “What is time? I don't understand it at all. Has time always existed and will for eternity? What is the relativity theory all about?”  https://www.quora.com/What-is-time-I-dont-understand-it-at-all-Has-time-always-existed-and-will-for-eternity-What-is-the-relativity-theory-all-about/answer/Jesse-Witwer?ch=15&oid=99060090&share=b0c9224f&srid=ubVZd&target_type=answer

 

 

My answer to “Technically am I just as old as universe because matter can neither be created nor be destroyed?” https://www.quora.com/Technically-am-I-just-as-old-as-universe-because-matter-can-neither-be-created-nor-be-destroyed/answer/Jesse-Witwer?ch=15&oid=82616848&share=bb12815c&srid=ubVZd&target_type=answer

 

[GB: Thanks Jesse for your observations on this. About adding additional assumptions: As I have written, we could have one or an infinite number of assumptions. They are just different ways of explaining materialism (i.e., reality). Note that your first questioner assumes time “exists.” Of course, it does not exist, it occurs. Eternity is another corollary of infinity and all its other consupponible assumptions. Locality is another one, which might help folks understand that, while the universe is infinite, not every part of the universe is involved in any particular event. That is forbidden by causality, which requires local collisions to produce effects. I like sticking with 10 assumptions for pedagogical reasons. Also, I have trouble remembering more than 10 things at once.]
