Yet Another SD Rodrian Prediction True:
Gravity, as argued even by Einstein, is NOT
an attractive force between bodies.
EINSTEIN WAS RIGHT
– SPACE AND TIME BEND
Ninety years after he
expounded his famous theory,
a $700m NASA probe has
proved that the universe
behaves as he said. [read
the entire article below]
Actually, although what this experiment
PROVES is that "gravity is not an attractive
force between bodies" [merely], the results
are still misinterpreted here in the usual
nonsensical gibberish of conventional
"physics-talk" of the past century: In effect,
these interpreters speak of "space-time"
bending* because they are not yet aware
of the true evolution of the universe: They
have discovered that the universe behaves
as I describe it does [and which you can
read at: http://physics.sdrodrian.com ]
but they interpret it in their antediluvian
understanding (it’s as if the scientists who
once believed that the entire universe
revolved around the planet earth were
interpreting this discovery in terms of that
once so universally-held ancient superstition).
ONLY my description of a universe which
has evolved across immense amounts of
time from unimaginably vast volumes of
space could have produced/accumulated
the "energy" that today powers it. No other
explanation accounts for the prodigious
amounts of energy infused into every
last/smallest bit of the universe’s matter.
And not even the pretty fable of a magic
[Big Bang] bean bursting forth the whole
of "Creation" … for no reason at all.
But, of course, this remains for yet another
more impressive understanding still.

Now the race is on to show
that the other half of
relativity also works–
for decades physicists have
been asking the question:
did Albert Einstein get it
wrong? After half a century,
seven cancellations and
$700m, a mission to test
his theory about the
universe has finally confirmed
that the man was a
mastermind — or at
least half proved it.
The early results from Gravity
Probe B, one of Nasa’s
most complicated satellites,
confirmed yesterday ‘to
a precision of better than
1 per cent’ the assertion
Einstein made 90 years ago
– that an object such as
the Earth does indeed
distort the fabric of space and
time.
But this — what is referred
to as the ‘geodetic’
effect — is only half of
the theory. The other,
’frame-dragging’, stated
that as the world spins it
drags the fabric of the
universe behind it.
Francis Everitt, the Stanford
University professor
who has devoted his life to
investigating Einstein’s
theory of relativity, told
scientists at the American
Physical Society it would
be another eight months
before he could measure
the ‘frame-dragging’ effect
precisely.
’Understanding the details
is a bit like an
archeological dig,’ said
William Bencze, programme
manager for the mission.
’A scientist starts with a
bulldozer, follows with
a shovel, then finally uses
dental picks and toothbrushes
to clear the dust away.
We’re passing out the
toothbrushes now.’
The Gravity Probe B
project was conceived in the
late 1950s but suffered
decades of delays while other
scientists ran tests
corroborating Einstein’s theory.
It was Everitt’s determination
that stopped it being
cancelled. The joint
mission between Nasa and
Stanford University uses
four of the most perfect
spheres — ultra precise
gyroscopes — to detect
minute distortions in th
e fabric of the universe.
Everitt’s aim was to prove
to the highest precision
yet if Einstein was correct
in the way he described
gravity.
According to Einstein, in
the same way that a large
ball placed on a elasticated
cloth stretches the
fabric and causes it to
sag, so planets and stars
warp space-time. A marble
moving along the sagging
cloth will be drawn
towards the ball, as the Earth is
to the Sun, but not fall
into it as long as it keeps
moving at speed. Gravity,
argued Einstein, was not an
attractive force between
bodies as had been
previously thought.
Few scientists need the
final results, which will be
revealed in December, to
convince them of Einstein’s
genius. ‘From the most
esoteric aspects of time
dilation through to the
beautiful and simple
equation, e=mc2, the vast
bulk of Einstein’s ideas
about the universe are
standing up to the test of
time,’ said Robert Massey,
from the Royal
Astronomical Society.
He said the mission was
’legitimate science’ to test
a theory and confirm its
brilliance, but others have
criticised the costs and
length of the study,
claiming that what was
announced had already been
shown. Sir Martin Rees,
the Astronomer Royal, said
the announcement would
’fork no lightning’.
The theory explained
When Einstein wrote his
general theory of relativity
in 1915, he found a new
way to describe gravity. It
was not a force, as
Sir Isaac Newton had supposed,
but a consequence of the
distortion of space and
time, conceived together
in his theory as
’space-time’. Any object
distorts the fabric of
space-time and the bigger
it is, the greater the
effect.
Just as a bowling ball
placed on a trampoline
stretches the fabric and
causes it to sag, so planets
and stars warp space-time
– a phenomenon known as
the ‘geodetic effect’. A
marble moving along the
trampoline will be drawn
inexorably towards the ball.
Thus the planets orbiting
the Sun are not being
pulled by the Sun; they
are following the curved
space-time deformation
caused by the Sun. The reason
the planets never fall into
the Sun is because of the
speed at which they are travelling.
According to the theory,
matter and energy distort
space-time, curving it
around themselves. ‘Frame
dragging’ theoretically occurs
when the rotation of a
large body ‘twists’ nearby
space and time. It is this
second part of Einstein’s
theory that the Nasa
mission has yet to corroborate.
