Someone with my analytical ability can figure things out without having to research anything. That doesn't mean that I'm not still exposed to what is going on in science, because I simply read the news and watch usually dumb shows like NOVA talking about Einstein and the Big Bang, etc. When I was a kid, I read a lot and disagreed a lot. When I found in college that mechanics, in particular, was without reason, I vowed to correct the many errors once my time would allow. The great mysteries to me were: What is light? And what is gravity? I, better than anyone else on Earth, know the answer to both of those questions! NoEinstein

I have correctly determined, via clear reasoning alone, that the mechanism of gravity is photon exchange that results in ether flow. I have also reasoned that there was no Big Bang. So, there is no need for a cosmological constant to explain anything. The reason the universe 'seems' to be expanding is because trains of photons (light rays) get wedged apart by other passing light waves, so, over a very long time, the wave length (a misnomer... that word 'wave') gets longer and the light gets redder. I determined these things by clear thinking and deductive reasoning. Making up stuff involves neither of those two. NE |
