Sorry I missed that chat; my grandkids where left with us for the weekend and that was much more fun.

It was good that baudrunner joined in after the first 50 minutes of chaos to inject some rational thinking into the chat. “Well done Steven”.

I would like to inject a little rule-of-thumb for those discussing the speed of light as it relates to time:
Light travels through the same quantity of spatial density for a given increment of time.
Gravity is a gradient of spatial density.
Acceleration causes an increase of spatial density of the object being accelerated. (relative mass)
Time dilation is the result of the variance of spatial density not the variance of the rate of time. Only the clock goes slower!(the measurement)

Is the horse dead yet?
