Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the nature of light and gravity, questioning established concepts and proposing alternative interpretations. It touches on theoretical aspects and challenges conventional understandings in physics.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant claims that the velocity of light should be understood as the velocity of "free space" rather than light itself.
  • There are assertions that various phenomena, such as space dragging, geodetic precession, and light bending, are misattributed to mass and gravity instead of being linked to "non-dimension space."
  • The same participant suggests that time should be considered in the context of "0D gravity" rather than the conventional 4D framework.
  • Another participant challenges the initial claims, questioning the lack of evidence and clarity in the statements made.
  • A third participant seeks clarification on the term "free space" and its implications regarding velocity.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express disagreement, with some supporting the unconventional views presented while others challenge the validity and clarity of those claims. The discussion remains unresolved.

Contextual Notes

The discussion includes assertions that lack supporting evidence and relies on unconventional terminology, which may lead to misunderstandings. The definitions of terms like "free space" and "non-dimension space" are not clearly established.

the velocity of light is actually the velocity of free space.
186,283 mps was attributed to light instead of non-dimension space.
Space dragging was attributed to mass instead of to non-dimension space,
Space twisting was attributed to mass instead of to non-dimension space,
Geodetic precession was attributed to mass instead of to non-dimension space,
Gravity was attributed to mass instead of to non-dimension space,
Time was attributed to 4D instead of to 0D gravity,
Light bending was attributed to gravity instead of to optical, non-dimension space.

i was having a discussion with another expert physics "rebel" scientists and w shared some ideas... and here they are.

just remember... before you go quoting Einstein's laws of relativity... Einstein also said

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."... so we'll never get anywhre if we continue to only use what was givin to us 100 years ago. We need to start thinking and using that imagination instead of becoming studiers and worshippers of ideas.

You just posted a bunch of statements without even trying to prove any of them. Good work.
 
"...the velocity of light is actually the velocity of free space..."

What does this mean? What is free space such that it has a velocity? Can you back any of this up?
