Resting Light Theory

[Wick]

That is a position held by many physisics.

Hello, theunify! Two positions were stated in the section you quoted. Which of the two positions do many physicists hold--the I-am-a-slave-to-spacetime position, or the I-am-free position?

If you look within o yourself you will find freedom, if you look to the stars yyou will find stars.

I thought I would resurrect this old thing--my thread called Resting Light Theory. I let it go for a while, but reading over it again, I felt a desire to understand what the theory means. Let me reiterate how RLT currently stands in my mind in my next post.

[Wick]

RLT consists of a six simple principles:

1. The universe is a changing configuration of space and fundamental particles of matter.

2. There is no axis of time. Time is simply a measure of change.

3. The universe falls along a fourth axis of space.

4. As the universe falls it oscillates (moving waves) along a fourth axis of space which leads to the electromagnetic field.

5. The universe also bends (standing waves) along a fourth axis of space which leads to the gravtitational field.

6. Fundamental particles of matter become organized in various ways by the oscillating and bending of space, and space becomes organized by the motion of matter.

These six principles are not the same principles I started with. The ideas have become more basic over time. I don't assume them to be true...in fact I have come to understand that my past ideas were wrong...and so I keep trying to find a way to build a universe that looks like our universe but permits the principle of human freedom. The current theories of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are deterministic in nature (at the macroscopic level) which implies that we are not free or accountable for our actions.

So this thread focuses on philosophy of science. Please leave religion out of this thread.

In our efforts to examine the minutiae of the universe, I often contemplate that we are dealing with a 'mirage'.

To our visual sense, augmented by the auditory, tactile and other senses, we have a perspective of 'here' and 'there', and time becomes a measure of 'then', 'now' and 'when'.

It is always 'here and now', though we have recollections of 'then and there' and we, the resting light, are ever in motion to the next 'where and when'.

I'm just along for the ride.

You cannot expect to look out without first inquiring into ''who'' exactly is looking out?

After all, isn't science just a subset of spirituality.

Not to my way of thinking. Spirituality is far to subjective. It is one thing for one person another for the next. These days we put on religions like we put on clothes. Science is not like that.

I am a religious man...but in this thread I'm trying to deal, as far as it is possible possible, with things we can measure. God is by definition unmeasurable. I don't wish to measure God in this thread.

No offense...and I'm not trying to put out my own eyes. I'm just trying to scope an otherwise overwhelmingly large topic.

So I'm going to officially declare that RLT is a co-ed thread. Spiritualist and scientists are welcome. The TOE must account for both in the end, so we had just as well start getting along.

Thanks Wick.

[Wick]

Thanks Wick.

Ouch. Perhaps I should repent... Let me think about it.

[Wick]

OK, Melanie. We can explore the spiritual aspects of Resting Light Theory...but please, everyone...stick to the topic. This is not a place to place long quotes about any specific belief system. Discipline. Discipline. Discipline.
