Gentlemen,
Ideal and comical subject... As the=20
"Philosopher" who believes the=20
"bean counters" (Einstein, Bohr,
et al) ought to bow to solid, thouroughly
considered philosophical principles, allow me
to throw in my two-cents worth, perhaps my
ideas aren't original (if not, direct me straight
to my fellow ideationalists)... Consider=20
gravity in the light of a simple stove-top "experiment"
I have discovered- stir a pot of water and sprinkle in
some salt... the salt congregates in the middle of the
vortex! I haven't devoted much more thought to the
matter other than to study carefully Pascal's three=20
conditions of space: 1) nothingness (for lack of a=20
better word, I call this his "null"), 2) vacumn, and
3) matter occupying the space. You can study his
"Pensees" to find the shocking "nulll", which I am=20
horrified by, and I can only disagree with his "vacumn",
I prefer the medieval Church Fathers' Aether.
Now, having given some thought to the idea that there
is no such thing as a vacumn, and the idea that there
is no such thing as a "pull", only pushes, the salt-in-
the-pot experiment provides a kick-off point for a theory
of gravity that may prove more usefull than those heretofore
presented.
I say that mathematics is always inaccurate in some degree or
another, especially when the Postulates (the beginning "givens")
are philosophical absurdities- such as the absurd notion that
"time" exists.
Also, I have realized that all descriptions of reality, whether
philosophical or mathematical, are necessarily inaccurate, simply
because "Nothing is perfect." And I mean that self-quote=20
absolutely, flying in the face of the very foundations of Western
thought (the Greecians) and most "spin-offs" from those=20
foundations.
I hope some skilled mathematicians will proceed from my=20
philosophical ideas (I have more upon request) and take us
to sensible cosmologies. As much as I respect the "greats"
such as Einstein or Hawkings, their universes are quite=20
bizarre, misleading, and inaccurate. =20
