Hi all, It is the constant obsession with distance that’s makes cosmology think in the wrong direction. Louis13 is correct, stars are constantly being made by the collapse of hydrogen gas as described by the James Jeans equation. This happens within galaxies but cosmology deals with distant galaxies and we can only see them as they were millions or billions of years ago because it takes the light they emit that long to reach us. The speed of light is finite so we see them as they were then, not as they are now. If cosmology were just to view the universe from the point of view of time, not distance, they would have a clearer understanding of how the universe works. No light that reaches your eyes has travelled in an instant. It always takes time to travel so the further away the object is, the longer it takes the light to reach your eyes. Because the speed of light is finite your eyes are peering into the past, always. How far you can look back is only limited by the technology we use to view the universe. In my opinion the old chestnut of the Aether has been investigated by many experiments over the years and no Aether has ever been found but R.T. Cahill from Flinders University in Australia has re-looked at the data from these experiments and has found a turbulent flow of space in towards our Sun. He believes this provides some proof that the Aether does exist but I still disagree. Space is not empty. It has a fair amount of dust and gas in it. This dust and gas will be caught in the gravity field of the Sun and will be moving towards the Sun. If the presence of energy does generate a quantum space-time field around itself as proclaimed by True Relativity then the quantum space-time fields emitted by this dust and gas will naturally be moving towards the Sun with the particles of dust and gas and will give the appearance of a flow of space in towards the Sun. This flow would be turbulent because gravity is a localised force and does not work over infinite distance as believed by the science community. Although R.T. Cahill doesn’t realise it, he provides some of the evidence that True Relativity may be correct. Best regards Tony |
