2006-08-05: Spacetime

[Robert]

The next chat session is scheduled for this coming Saturday, August 5th, at 3:00pm Central Standard Time (CST) or GMT-6. Also, we have our first weekly open-topic chat this Wednesday at 11pm CST. See the countdown timer on the homepage.

The topic is ...

SpaceTime

Space-time, central concept in the theory of relativity that replaces the earlier concepts of space and time as separate absolute entities. In relativity one cannot uniquely distinguish space and time as elements in descriptions of events. Space and time are joined together in an intimate combination in which time becomes the “fourth dimension.” more...

The Theory of Relativity states that there is no such thing as time and there is no such thing as space. Instead, there is a new entity called spacetime.

Timezone Information

I have added a countdown to the chat session on the home page, or you can use the timezone converter to convert to your local time. Once there, enter the day and time as specified above, then select US/Central in the "From Time Zone" column and your own location in the "To Time Zone" column, then click Convert. Be sure and unclick the "Use Current Date/Time" option. This will give you the time of the chat meeting in your own local time.

Some other areas:

Texas, U.S. - Saturday, 3:00pm
California, U.S. - Saturday, 1:00pm
India - Sunday, 1:30am
London - Saturday, 9:00pm
Madrid, Spain - Saturday, 10:00pm
Melbourne, Australia - Sunday, 6:00am
New Zealand - Sunday, 8:00am
Sweden - Saturday, 10:00pm
Canada, Eastern - Saturday, 4:00pm
Pakistan - Sunday, 1:00am

Let's meet in the Flash Chatroom. Hope to see you there! It's optional, but you're encouraged to select the appropriate option in the poll so we know who's coming.

All things being equal,should be there on time,look forward to it.
regards michael.

[harmonygirl]

hopefully will be there...

[mkirkpatrick]

Lets hope that many of us can be there,for a lively debate to ensue?

regards michael.

The Theory of Relativity states that there is no such thing as time and there is no such thing as space. Instead, there is a new entity called spacetime.

I have been invited to attend the Physical Interpretations of Relativity Theory (PIRT) conference in London (Sept 8-11) and present the Aether Physics Model. The Aether Physics Model shows that space-time is the half-spin matter perception of a more fundamental space-resonance.

Space-resonance, instead of being three dimensions of length and one dimension of time, is three dimensions of length and two dimensions of frequency. In other words, the quantum realm exists in five space-frequency dimensions. It is because matter can only move in the forward direction of time, and thus only has half spin, that we perceive a world with apparent linear time. Linear time is actually pulsed linear time, which is where the "frames" come from.

That is excellent news Volantis,I wish you well,and God speed,Do your best
to make a difference!

I'm not much for these chat things - usually sweetness wasted on the desert air. So normally prefer just the slow bartering of postings on a forum. So if I once again fail to enthuse self to participate, let me just put in my spoke for #### Burkard Heim !!! ######### again. With the recent Tajmar experiment, so thorough that it is virtually a proof of quantum gravity even before other groups reproduce it, Heim's predicitons for a gavitomagnetic force appear to be confirmed and his follow-on prediciton for a vertical thrust set-up looms as one of the most exciting experiments slated for the coming years. If it in turn is correct, then Heim's theory as awhole will gain great kudos and so his mass equation will be given greater scrutiny. Then TOE here we come!
