Oh believe you me, food companies are not out to get any one. They couldn't care if anyone lives or dies. They want your money, at the least cost to them. For most Americans it goes like this. Mom, Dad and the kids get up to go to school and work. Who is the one that's going to feed them...

A mix of animals is not bad other then the fact that when you eat a hamburger you are eating everything from cow toe jam to ear gunk, meaning that your probably not getting the best cut of meat in your hamburger. But it's the processed fat that the human body can't readily use that is causing...

Today's obesity problem is caused by the processed fat that is used in hamburger. Years ago one would take a chunk of meat and put it through a meat grinder to make hamburger. Huge corporate has taken over the meat industry and the restaurant business i.e. Mac, jack, etc. This is what's...

Thanks JesseM, That's what I was looking for. I'm trying to develop a correct concept of empty space, SR, and time. Then I'll work in gravity. They call gravity a weak force, not if you go back to the point just before the big bang, I'm thinking gravity was an overwhelming force at that point...

Thanks ZapperZ That explains a lot, thanks. So it doesn't matter who is actually doing the moving, it's all has to do with the relative position and velocity of the observer to the observed.

Thanks A.T. I guess the Church is still wrong. The effects of angular momentum are hard to ignore. I'm just having a hard time understanding SR when it comes to velocity, time and space. Example, I'm sitting on Earth and you buzz by me at the close to the speed of light, who's to say...

You and I are moving away from each other at close to the speed of light, can it be determined who is doing the moving in empty space? And will SR know which clock to slow or speed up?

Wow, I've got to be a bit more focused. You guys are great, thanks for your replies. Let me rewrite my question. If there is no absolute rest point to use as a reference, how can it be determined who is moving faster or slower, or for that matter, if something is at rest. Could the Earth...

Let me know if I've got this right. If there is no absolute rest and everything is relative then everything is moving and we are stopped. The universe does revolve around us. The observer is the "man, dog, king pin" and in this case we earthlings are standing still and everything revolves...
