PSI Blog 20220131 Time and “Infinite Universe Theory” get recognized by famous author

 

Thanks to George Coyne for this link to an interview by Richard Owain Roberts of “Tao Lin, author of ten books of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. His most recent novel, Leave Society, was published last August.”

An excerpt:

 

“ROR: Have you read anything interesting, or have any thoughts, on how time might work?

 

TL: Glenn Borchardt, author of Infinite Universe Theory, argues that time is simply motion. He says time can’t “flow” because motion can’t flow. He says time doesn’t exist; rather, it occurs. He and others think that Einstein made a mistake when he objectified time into a dimension, possibly leading physicists into a century-plus-long Kuhnian crisis. Russian physicist Nikolai Kozyrev called the aether (a “sea” of undetectably small particles that people, until the twentieth century, believed filled every area of empty space) time, which I find fascinating and want to learn more about.”

 

 

[GB: Here is a conversation George had with Tao on Facebook:]

 

“Hi Glenn,

 

Here is some of the conversation I had about you on Tao Lin's FB page:

Tao, your interview is great! I emailed your comment to Glenn Borchardt on what you said about his definition of time as the motion of objects. As you know I subscribe to the same view in my book. I am surprised that all scientists have not realized this.

Tao Lin

George Coyne Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for passing my comment to Borchardt. I'll have a ~2.5k word essay on the Big Bang being wrong out soon.

George Coyne

Looking forward to reading it. Please send me a FB message when it comes out. Glenn Borchardt requested the link to your interview with Richard Roberts so I sent it to him. In my view, you are having a very positive impact.

Gravity is Not Distortion of Space

This blog is my response to an article written by Brian Finlayson and Ray Sumner published on January 6, 2022, at Phys.Org titled A century ago, Australia was ground zero for eclipse-watchers, and helped prove Einstein right.

Einstein based his idea that gravitation is a distortion of space on the similarity between gravitation and all other types of acceleration, which led him to conclude that gravity bends light. [i] Einstein states: “With respect to the Galilean reference body K, such a ray of light is transmitted rectilinearly with the velocity c. It can easily be shown that the path of the same ray of light is no longer a straight line. From this, we conclude that in general, rays of light are propagated curvilinear in gravitational fields.”[ii] The fact that astronomers observe light bending when passing close to the Sun does not mean that gravity, defined as a distortion of space, is the cause. [iii]This phenomenon near stars, which supposedly confirms GRT, has another explanation. Borchardt clarifies what is occurring: the light only bends when it is in the Sun’s corona, which contains baryonic matter, just as the Earth’s atmosphere does. Therefore, the light wave’s behavior results from refraction,[iv] which is an altered direction to wave propagation direction resulting from a change in the transmitting medium. This is supported by the fact that solar atmosphere density increases rapidly from exceptionally low values in interplanetary space to extremely high values nearer the Sun’s surface. Howard Hayden stated that “with a few lines of high school algebra” one can derive refracted starlight," This accuracy level is exact; whereas the tensor calculus and Riemannian geometry of general relativity produce only gives only an approximation." [v]

 

I have been asked “How do you explain light not being able to escape a black hole? Even with an infinite number of refractions, the possibility has to exist for light to make it through, therefore gravity does bend light.”

  

There are two good theoretical ways of accounting for this. There is Glenn Borchardt’s Neomechanics in which a black hole represents a vortex that is too powerful for most light to escape, and Duncan Shaw’s aether theory of gravity described in his peer-reviewed paper On Maxwell’s 1865 Theory of Aether: A Step Toward Unity, Phys. Essays, 33, 256 (2020).[vi]

 

In Notfinity Process: Matter-In-Motion 2^nd Edition (2021) I have a section on how gravity is not distortion of space.

Fawning media coverage of Webb telescope draws laughs from Doogie

“Glenn,

 

Oh, my freaking gawd! The news coverage on Webb is either laughable or sickening, depending on one's tolerance level. I hover between laughing at the woo woo talk and yelling at the stupidity of it all.

 

The talking heads on TV and their “ex-spurts” went with the cutest way of spewing popular misconceptions from their mouths. I think it made me throw up a little in my own mouth.

 

“NASA is searching for our baby pictures.” “The new Webb telescope will see our beginnings”.

 

Within the next few months, I fully expect to see something about "looking back at the hand of the Creator”. Why not put that one out there? It’s all part of the fairy tale, isn’t it?

 

Gotta love that newest and most powerful instrument. But even the official Webb Telescope page says, “Webb will gaze into the epoch when the very first stars and galaxies formed, over 13.5 billion years ago.”  Sounds pretty confident.

 

And, like you are saying, when they find nothing but fully-formed stars and galaxies in that epoch, there will be a scramble for the mathematicians to patch up the BBT with some new Post Hoc additions to the fairy tale. I can’t help thinking of all the money being wasted simply because people can’t conceive of or tolerate the concept of Infinity. Oh well, life is a tragic comedy.

 

Happy Holidays,
