Hello to fellow dragon warriors,

Sorry it took so long to get back, but having some comp probs I had to take care of. Sometimes I think these things have a mind of their own.

It seems like you guys have things covered, but once everything comes together (hopefully before the 5 billion is up) and you need some help organizing or creating the book, just let me know. Including motional diagrams is feasible if you and Austin are willing to make a video of them to be embedded in the book.

The problem wasn't the length, RP, to answer your question. Just from what others have said regarding the navigation, jumping around with forum statements inserted here and there, and perhaps the bold and bolded statements that might be out of some folks comfort zone, I thought the truncated messages should be truncated differently is all.

Ultimately, if you are satisfied with how it reads and looks, many others are bound to enjoy it as well.

Best of luck again with the process.

I took down the pdf btw.

Rascal,

Sounds like a good plan…

For the regular world, we can put it on Amazon as both printable and as a downloadable e-book. For online scientific reading, perhaps Nobody could put it somewhere good that he knows about, since I don't.

Of course, you will do the mainline content and perhaps Nobody will edit, structure, embed the illustrations, and make a pdf. I'll come up with some illustrations and do the covers. We'll worry about the spine later since its width depends on the page count.

For the printable version, We could put a half-inch of blankness at top, left, right, and bottom, and maybe an extra quarter-inch center that binding will use up.

If we use 8x10 size, the figures and the font can be larger, especially the font since we don't want too many words on one line. The cost for printing larger pages is the same as for smaller pages. On the other hand, 6x9 books are easier to hold.

I bet we'll have some prototype or be finished within a month—just in time to enjoy the great spring weather.

The Accelerating Expansion of the Universe

I’ve read in Scientific American and other places that the acceleration of the expansion of the universe is increasing, (possibly due to dark energy), first postulated by Einstein as the cosmological constant.

This is the beginning of the end of all knowledge about what was and is. As space empties out, our galaxy-to-be will come to be surrounded by a total void, past which we can never see. It will be as in 1908, when scientists thought our galaxy constituted the entire universe, for the quickening expansion will pull galaxies apart faster than light, causing them to drop out of view. Beyond a certain event horizon, no matter or radiation will be able to reach us.

In five billion years, although our sun will be a red giant, the Andromeda galaxy will loom large in the night sky for those who remain in our solar system, for our Local Group of galaxies will collapse into a single enormous SuperCluster of stars, but all the other billions of galaxies will disappear into an oblivion beyond the event horizon. We will once again live in a supposed island universe. Even the CMBR will be so faint as to be undetectable.

Even now, the view of the early universe has pretty much vanished.

Will this note and other data survive to inform the astronomers of the future?


(Say 'hello' to Molly.)

On the other hand, Austin, when the acceleration of the spatial expansion of the universe is viewed in conjunction with - and as a result of - the accelerating material expansion, then we may have a 'steady state' universe.

Whaddaya think?

(Molly says 'Hi', to you and Nobody.)

[N0B0DY]

Is it fair to say that the accelerated expansion of the space between me, you and Molly is responsible for proportionately retaining our bodies' density, or is it the accelerated expansion of the space within our bodies that is responsible for creating its mass?

I just wanted to be clear on whether or not the relationship between mass and gravity is the same for mass and acceleration.

Thanks.

Very comprehensive question.

I think they're synonymous, Nobody.

It has to do with the electromagnetic field surrounding sub atomic charges.

The 'loop' of magnetism - exiting the northerly core and swinging around to enter the southerly core constitutes expansion from the north and contraction to the south, within and sustaining the same system.

Refer, 'conspansion'.

'Tao', 'YinYang'.

It may have to do with Dirac's 'particle' and 'anti-particle' - where the northern (exit/outward) hemisphere constitutes one, and the southern (entrance/inward) hemisphere constitutes the other (particle, and anti particle).

The result may be what causes the explosion Dirac predicted; in turn, perhaps being the cause (if not the identity) of the 4-D expansion of the subjected system, en toto.

[N0B0DY]

Perfectly clear answer, Rascal, and the reason you are the master author. Thank you.

I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like your discovery way back when (50's?) has influenced many folks. You've given me many missing pieces of the master puzzle.

Btw, do you need an IPhone? lol

[RascalPuff]

Not sure you received this addition to my above response - I edited it in while you were viewing the first pass at the post...

Repeat:

(Yah. They keep selling stuff here. Spamming I think it's called. Didn't Robert announce that's a no-no. I don't think the post - which is two identical posts - will last long. lol)

Thank you for the high compliment.

Austin:
Regarding the cover - Einstein drawing...
No special effects?
Might be best if all instructive diagrams remain in b/w?
On the other hand, there's no telling what you may generate on your own with regard to special effects?

I guess the table of contents will basically be as it is with the booklet I sent you, though there will probably be some modifications corresponding with the updated presentation, which isn't stableized yet - looks like I'll do the table of contents, last, for that reason. I don't know how to number the pages at this point.

There's no room for any more material in Part I, as it exists in the articles section, so I guess I'll include the contents table apart from the sequence as it presently exists.

Of course I am open to and request any advise or suggestions you may think of.

I am looking forward to your contributions.
