Neville have you read my treatise on this subject, which I posted recently which goes along way to answering your questions, requiring only specifics ... If you missed it I post it again below. Philip. A Philosophy of science, time and space. the aether (by meself it is.) It is not an un-natural attribute of man for him to limit his thoughts and imagination to what he can experience with his normal senses. And for the normal man, which is the majority, the idea of God as an omnipotent omnipresent eternal personal being is generally accepted as a mystery beyond what his Creator expects him to comprehend. Yes, that God Himself uses imagery such as the fatherly figure, angels in the human form and many other apparitions, is indicative of the fact that He is satisfied with the child like simplicity that allows normal man the uncomplicated faith. To whom much is given, much is taken away. Yet out of normal men, arises those who have an adventurous spirit, a vocation, the desire to understand more. Is this unwise? We have the example of Adam who was forbidden the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Yet since we have inherited the fall from grace, because of his disobedience and not his desire for knowledge, it appears rational enough to me, that so long as our adventures into the unknown are done within full compliance of His commandments, according to His Word, there could be no sin. We must keep in mind that such adventures are fraught with danger, which is the reason no doubt, why the original prohibition was imposed. This is where Galleleo failed. He allowed his faith in the Cabalistic science of men such as Newton, to overule the commandment of obedience. And thus began the disorder of making the word of God completely conform to the science of men rather than the correct order where science in the first place must conform to the word of God. By saying in the first place, I mean of course, where necessary. At first I wondered at the wisdom of venturing into this article, because of the dangers I have already noted, and because I worried that any contribution to knowledge, or even directions of research I proposed, might lead the man of weak faith into the same error of pride that consumed Galleleo. But this was false reasoning considering that all of us on this list have already consumed the fruit of error one way or another, and are endeavouring to get things right, or at least establish truth. Science (of inertia) time and space, the aether. This is an endeavour, a philosophical approach. It is not to be taken as the absolute or final truths of the subject. It proposes to be a guide to an alternative approach or concept of physical realities, to that taken by mainstream science. It is based upon what is the absolute truth as far as it has been revealed to us, the Word of God. I try to utilise the evidence of the physical sciences as they have been demonstrated to exist, and present them with alternative theoretical possibilities and causes which do not conflict with or oppose that Word which is true. If I am delving into the physical unknown, it is because in mainstream science, these subjects are unknown; based as they are upon theoretical reasoning, that I do not deny appears reasonable, but theory upon presumptions nonetheless. If science can reasonably treat of the possibility of the aether, and it does so among many notable theorists, without the help of the Word of God, then so might I also treat of it; and that I claim it is the more reasonable because it allows conformity with God's word, should not raise any objections from the dissidents, less they risk being seen as bigots. In proposing the aether as the all encompassing ingredient necessary to explain all physical experience, my most difficult task, even among Bible believing geocentrists is to bring the dimension of time into the discussion. This is why I called this article a "Philosophy" of science, time and space, because the difficulties are philosophical rather than physical. How can one explain the experience of the rainbow to a person blind from birth? Intelligent imagination may give one the concept of color, but never the experience. To the same extent I can say that our three dimensional senses make us "spiritually" blind to a fourth dimension. One is capable of seeing the trees immediately in front and behind, but not the whole forest. But like the blind man, you just might be able to grasp the concept. Why does God call Himself, 'I am alpha and Omega' in one place, and "I am" in another, and then Jesus in another again says, Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was made, I AM? Can you see the powerful scientific statements here, that transcend our experience of time? He did not say "I was" ... He said "I am." Past present or future 'He is' for ever and ever. So what is time? Basically its a sequential experience. I'll re-phrase that. We experience everything physical sequentially as time. Time like color has no reality without there existing a sentient being to experience it with his senses. Most importantly this experience is limited by the senses we possess, which are three dimensional. This is the cause of the apparent sequence of a ball rolling, or your interference with its direction. Time is a mental component. And this raises the important question of free will, and what happens when we interfere with the direction of the rolling ball. We think we changed its future, and we think that destroys the concept I propose. But we are wrong on both counts. What we think is about as accurate as what a blind man might conceive the color blue to be. What we did when pushing the ball in a new direction, was to change the shape of the fourth dimension and in so doing experienced the inertia (resistance) that such action presented. Physically the action was similar to compressing a ball and changing its three dimensional shape into a pyramid. We experienced a change to all four of its dimensions. We see and experience the sun as it moves across the sky. The sun could say " I am" and our experience of its sequential change of position is just that. An experience as we view it in all its positions sequentially. Subjectively our three dimensional senses as we sequentially view this solid fourth dimension give us the impression that the sun moves. How else could Jesus say He was before Abraham, and presumably He WAS before creation and after the consumation of the world? "And all that dwell upon the earth adored him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb which was slain from the beginning of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. " Isn't that last sentence marvellous? Daniel says similar. "Let the reader understand!" which Jesus re-asserts in Mathew 25:15.This contradicts the doctrine that reading the Bible alone can save all; and confirms the need for an authorised teacher. 2 Peter 3: 15-17 Acts8: 30-31. But I digress. Is it such a big stretch of the imagination therefore to call our "time" no more than an experience of inferior three dimensional senses? I say inferior because until our soul is released from these limiting bodies, we are told our experiences are inferior and incomparable to the experiences of our being after death, whether our destiny be Hell or Heaven. We will see Jesus in all His glory as He really "IS" , yes, even before Abraham was. If this seems impossible to you then you will have difficulty comprehending the application of this principle to the physics of inertia, which attempts to show how this concept of time allows for a four dimensional created world, having four real physical dimensions, and because of this, how it follows that the effect of what we call the aether, is the primary cause of our subjective experiences of inertia and the other force fields.. The implications as applied to the limitation on the speed of light , magnetic fields, and gravity are fascinating to say the least and will merely complicate this post to go into all of it here, but perhaps later. Have you ever seen those iron filing diagrams around a magnet which allegedly demonstrate the position of a line of magnetic force? Ever wonder what that alleged line is? Can't be weighed. Can't be touched, felt or smelt. Nobody, that's absolutely nobody, knows what it is or why it is or even if it is a line, other than it is an effect due to electrical activity, called charge, which is another unknown. I can't tell you what they are either. But with Faraday, I can say there must be some sort of "reason" that "acts" like a "medium" to allow them to exist in a pure vacuum. I further say that this reason is the existence of a solid physical fourth dimension. But if you want to look on the aether as just hypothetical three dimensional "fluid" or even call it a spiritual "ecktoplasm", that may suffice, but this fails to satisfy any reasonable investigation of its physical existence. It cannot explain how Jesus could say, 'before Abraham was, I am.' They cannot and never will find any such a medium, simply because it is not there. But this cannot change the reality of the effects it causes. As Faraday once said, 'you cannot exercise a force at a distance without a medium.' I need though, to extend the term medium to " a cause" or a "reaction" , something quite different to a "conceptual fluid". The "cause" is the reaction to the finite physical solidity of the entire four dimensional created universe. That is my definition of the aether. The aether is a physical reaction to the finite physical solidity of the entire four dimensional created universe. Gravity. The first casualty of this scenario of a finite universe has to be the Newtons universal gravitation law. Whilst it can be conceded that this formula f/g = m1m2/d sqd. can be used accurately locally anywhere in this area of space called the solar system, this does not necessarily mean it is so to the finite limit of the universe. Assume that this universe is a finite four dimensional entity, there being no infinite space, such as what we call space "outside" of this creation. We have to deny the contradiction imposed by the weakness in our three dimensional senses which implies otherwise. In this universe we can say that gravity is a push which directs mass towards mass, rather than a property of mass that causes attraction. This pressure comes from the surrounding universe by all of its four dimensions, (aether?) in which we may PRESUME to be the centre. With this cause of gravity the principle naturally follows that the true centre will experience gravity equally from all directions, and as our world does so experience such, we may in such a universe as I have described, safely deduce that it is the centre. Correspondingly if one were to move away from this centre towards the edge of the universe, this force will become unbalanced, ultimately changing from positive to negative. The inverse square law cannot hold true. Whether this presumption be true or not, we do have anomalies in navigation reported by deep space probes, which may be attributed to gravitational defects. In any case as I said, this is not a local effect and has no bearing on our problem of the geostationary satellite. This latter was easily explained by a rotating univese, synonomous with a rotating aether, and the inertial forces it produces. (see previous paper) Whether the red shift is valid, accurate or not, I can see this theory of gravitation supporting the expanding universe theory, which is ok as far as it goes, except it can only go as far as its end, its finite end in space, called the end of time, already acomplished, in eternity . We will apply this scenario to the speed of radiation which effects the presumptions of stellar distances, a more complex technical discourse requiring more actual data, at a later date. But in the mean time consider this. The spectral shift of a star, its speed away from or towards us all depends for accuracy upon the speed of light being constant. And as we get closer to the edge of creation I do not believe such is necessarily so. Philip. wavelength = velocity / frequency. velocity (of light) = wavelength X frequency The frequency of the source is fixed. If the source is moving away the wavelength is increased and we "observe" a lower frequency. But if the velocity of light is lower, the wavelength likewise is lower, and a lower frequency will be observed, without the source moving anywhere. MS depends so much on their belief that c is constant, to support red shift as proof of the big bang expansion. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dr. Neville Jones To: geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 5:00 AM Subject: [geocentrism] Aether effects Back to scientific issues. Could I ask those of you who advocate an aether to supply your thinking as regards what effect the aether would have on material bodies (planets, satellites, gas molecules in the atmosphere, or whatever). I ask this because it seems to me that the aether cannot support (pun intended) the geosynchronous satellite.
