I never really gave it any thought as to the cosmos of speeds, having
abandoned
the Big Bang theory. In that theory, one can expect speeds of galaxies
approaching
the speed of light. Now to me, and most commonsense thinking people, a
galaxy
travelling anywhere near the speed of light is a mind-numbing sort of
thought, a preposterous
notion. And should tell the people who accept the Big Bang, that their
theory is
ludicrous in terms of speed. That if any galaxy were inspected up
close, would find
that their speeds are what the speeds of the Milky Way speed is. And
so the redshift
of galaxies is something other than the speed of galaxies. The
redshift most be something
other than what the Big Bang has presumed.

So I am left with an uneasy perspective that we have only two items in
all the
Cosmos that travels at the speed of light or near the speed of light--
photons
and neutrinos, and everything else in the Cosmos travels at these very
small
speeds, with nothing traveling with speeds in between that of light
and that
of the usual speeds found here on Earth or the local group of
galaxies.

So why is that? Is it that speed is not a important physics feature as
is kinetic
energy or momentum or temperature? Is it that speed is a local
phenomenon.

Seems odd for physics to have a bunch of speeds all grouped around 0
to
72 km/sec and then no speeds between that of say 100,000 km/sec and
the speed of neutrino or speed of light.

I do not know if the Plutonium Atom Totality theory can offer a easy
answer as to
no speeds between ordinary speeds and the speed of light. The Atom
Totality theory
would say that the galaxies are bits and pieces of the last electrons
of the Cosmic
Atom, obeying the rules of how electrons orbit the nucleus. So in such
a situation,
would the bits and pieces of the electrons of the 5f6 have speeds
ranging from near
zero to all the way up to the speed of light? Or would the galaxies as
bits and pieces
of the electrons have small speeds such as the Milky Way, and where
all the galaxies
have these small speeds and then a huge gap of nothing material
travelling at speeds
between the speed of light and these slow speeds.

Maybe the answer has to do with Special Relativity itself. That the
full implications of
SR were not realized. That we have SR with speed of light a constant,
which further
implies that there are only two categories of speeds, the speed of
light and the real
slow small speeds with nothing in between. Does not SR imply that?

The equivalent to SR is that a moving magnet through a wire loop
causes electricity,
and equivalently a moving wire loop over a stationary magnet causes
electricity. So
the truth of SR is the obvious truth that a moving magnet to
stationary wire is the same
as moving wire to a stationary magnet. To deny SR is to deny this. So
let me ask the
question in Maxwell theory. Can the magnet or the wire loop be
travelling at any speed
between that of 0 and the speed of light? Or can the magnet travel
only at slow speeds?

I think I know what the answer is here. That the speed of material
objects can only travel
at these slow speeds. The fastest speed would be galactic speeds or
possibly the speed
of gas from supernova explosions. All these events involve photons. So
the speed of a
galaxy is connected to photon speeds. The magnet or wire loop cannot
be travelling at
1/2 the speed of light because the magnet produces photons. Sort of a
zero-sum or
conservation between slow speeds and light speed.

Of course, the Big Bang people will interject here that a galaxy is a
space time
mix and that space is moving away along with the galaxy and that the
galaxy has
an intrinsic-speed much smaller than the expansion speed.

In the Atom Totality, there is a expansion speed since we did have a
Uranium Atom
Totality before which went into a Plutonium Atom Totality and an
increase in size.

So maybe that is the cause of the redshift, in that the Plutonium atom
increased
in size over the previous atom.

So we have a Cosmos where most every speed is from 0 to about 1,000 km/
sec
and then we have at the other end only two speeds of the neutrino
speed and the
speed of light. We have nothing inbetween these two types of speed,
the slow
and the fastest possible. This suggests that speed is not a
fundamental physics
property and that slow speeds are tied to the fastest speed.

A fundamental physics property is energy content. So that matter
cannot have
speeds ranging anywhere from 0 to that of light, for that would imply
enormous
mass approaching infinity if galaxies had 1/2 the speed of light.

Energy can range from 0 to all the Cosmos, with no problems of
inbetween. But
speed seems not able to range from 0 with all inbetween speeds up to
that of
light. With speeds, we have a grouping of slow speeds, with a vast
empty range
where nothing is travelling at these speeds, and then finally at the
end we have
neutrinos and then photons. So in this perspective, speed is only
allowed for
slow speeds and then a vast region where nothing is travelling at any
such speed
and then finally photonic speed.

Now I reserve the right to change my mind over all the above I just
said. But I
want to tell what I think at this moment.
