I questioned that in a physics class, asking how long it would take for the change in gravitational force from a star to be felt at a distance as the star lost mass.
I was told, in no uncertain terms, that If I ever brought that question up in class or mentioned gravity as a propagated energy form again I would be summarily flunked.
That was an eye opener for me.
I wonder if similar attitudes over "climate change" have cut down on the number of STEM students.
It was a simple chemistry class for me with how the concept of “half life” worked with decaying unstable elements.
It was like i was an alien........just accept the concept and move on.
My point was that particles are stable at certain conditions, what allows or controls those conditions? I started thinking that maybe there was a “Universal” frequency that allows electrons and protons to vibrate at a specific “normal” condition. (Like electrons traveling like a hula hoop. But if the frequency is off, too few protons and not enough neutrons to allow proper spacing that the nucleus is off and creates radioactive decay......?)
Anyways, I didn’t get an answer and the teacher didn’t have a clue and you go through the life with questions that the “experts” never asked and don’t think about.
Like the “extra” planet, the ninth that must exist because of mathematical formulas..........why do we never question the formulas and always assume they are right? Seriously, this has been on news sites over the last few months, even though we have not seen it, it must be there.
It was these formulas that physicist taught in Ivy League schools that said Mercury wasn’t showing up at the right time on the other side of the sun as it was predicted.........and then came Einstein! Um......so the experts were wrong.
Have these “experts” forgotten that history lesson form almost exactly 100 years ago already?
Which leads me to the CRAZY concept that the PH.D. experts and such with formulas “predicting” the ECONOMY are simply repeating words in a text book while never fulling understanding how the pieces fit together.
Hence why the economy is falling apart and no one knows why, but everyone pretends they figured it out..............experts.........
He wrote a century ago that he thought “gravitational fields” are instant, and not the speed of light........!?!?
He also said he communicated with “beings” on Mars using this type of communication.....so maybe he lost it.
But, isn't the “quantaum entanglement” theory, the essence and proof of INSTANT change, regardless of the distance?
Crazy, crazy crazy!
But the economy is great and anyone that questions it is, “pedaling nonsense.”
