Tempus Fugit Memento Mori - Time Flies Remember Death
“Many cosmologists advocate reviving [Einstein’s] cosmological constant term on theoretical grounds, as a way to explain the rate of expansion of the universe….The main attraction of the cosmological constant term is that it significantly improves the agreement between theory and observation….
For example, if the cosmological constant today comprises most of the energy density of the universe, then the extrapolated age of the universe is much larger than it would be without such a term, which helps avoid the dilemma that the extrapolated age of the universe is younger than some of the oldest stars we observe!” (NASA, often confused with a film agency, “Dark Energy: A Cosmological Constant?” http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/universe/ uni_matter.html)
But
“Additionally, we must take seriously the idea that the acceleration apparently indicated by supernova data could be due to large scale inhomogeneity with no dark energy. Observational tests of the latter possibility are as important as pursuing the dark energy (exotic physics) option in a homogeneous universe.… because of the foundational nature of the Copernican Principle for standard cosmology, we need to fully check this foundation.
And one must emphasize here that standard CMB anisotropy studies do not prove the Copernican principle: they assume it at the start……then uses some form of observationally-based fitting process to determine its basic parameters” (“Inhomogeneity effects in Cosmology,” George F. R. Ellis, March 14, 2011, University of Cape Town, pp. 19, 5; http://arxiv.org/pdf/1103.2335.pdf).
The confusionists and ‘science’. NASA and its deep state-financed organs of ‘the science’ maintain that ‘dark energy’ must be real or else they are faced with a younger universe. Observational evidence pace Ellis in the 2nd quote, indicates that dark energy is a phantasm, premised on philosophical foundations and biases.
“…do not prove the Copernican principle: they assume it at the start.”
Indeed, philosophy and tautology inform interpretations. The mathigicians can now enter and perform their necromancy. The graphic designers and image propagandists will then take over and assemble the evocative pictures and visualisations. They will have a line pointing to a black area on an image with the notation ‘Black Hole here’. Another arrow will connect to a region on the image and name it ‘Dark Energy’. You will be convinced.

"That the earth is a sphere is shown by the fact that as one goes south the stars of the northern constellations appear to sink down, and those of the south to rise higher; and also by the fact that the shadow of the earth, as cast on the moon in eclipses, is circular." (Aristotle, On the Heavens)
Aristotle’s observations are correct and confirmed. He offers 3 good reasons why this planet is a spheroid, and these are discussed below.
The ‘Enlightenment’ based its animus against the ‘Schoolmen’ on the idea that the medieval era ‘slavishly followed’ Aristotle. Unlike the Muslims and Arabs, the European medieval scholars did not. Beginning in the 12th century, Christians translated, analysed, experimented with, and eventually overturned, Aristotlelian physics.
However, some astronomical observations made by Aristotle, or the ‘teacher’, some 2500 years ago, are entirely valid and these informed medieval and early modern astronomy. There is nothing ‘dark’ about that. Use what works. Reject what does not. Given the vast quantity of Aristotle’s work, this analysis does take time.
The Flat Earth question is related to Relativity and some of the topics we have analysed in over 100 posts on the Einstein-fraud. Essentially, much of ‘science’ is about philosophy and the filtering, interpreting and modelling of phenomena through world-views and agendas. The same applies to how Flat Earthers ingest and transform experiential data and observations. More here
“A more intriguing instance of this so-called “time dilation” is the well- known ‘twin paradox,’ where one of two twins goes for a journey and returns to find himself younger than his brother who remained behind. This case allows more scope for muddled thinking because acceleration can be brought into the discussion.
Einstein maintained the greater youthfulness of the travelling twin, and admitted that it contradicts the principle of relativity, saying that acceleration must be the cause (Einstein 1918). In this he has been followed by relativists in a long controversy in many journals, much of which ably sustains the character of earlier speculations … as “monstrous”. (Max Born 1956).
The ‘muddled thinking’ of Relativity, if one can term obstruse, unproven, illogical, tautological and fraudulent theory as ‘thinking’. As Born states, the idea of the ‘twin paradox’ based on ‘time dilation’ makes little sense (more below). We discussed the tautological aspects of time dilation in the previous post. In this post we will extend this analysis and eviscerate the entire concept.
(discussed here in some mathematical detail as well)
The Special Theory of Relativity (STR) proposes that fast moving objects will ‘age’ more slowly than slower objects. ‘Fast moving’ always means at the ‘speed of light’ for Einstein. A travelling ‘twin’, rocketing off into deep space, will age more slowly than the sibling twin back on Earth returning from his voyage ‘younger’ in actual age and appearance.
The ‘twin paradox’ is probably the most famous implication emanating from STR. It would mean that the age of the cosmos is extremely different than Earth time. A few thousand years on this planet might well equate into millions or billions in space time. The author fully agrees that is likely the case, but it has nothing to do with Einstein or Relativity. We can explain this from gravity and energy, and the infinite speed of light.
There is no way to verify the twin paradox of course. Supposedly this phenomenon was ‘validated’ in 1971 using atomic clocks on commercial flights but this is untrue. This experiment (Hafele-Keating) simply demonstrated that gravity and its effect on instrumentation had a small, almost infinitesimal impact on clocking within the Earth’s multi-layered atmosphere.

“The Michelson-Morley experiment confronted scientists with an embarrassing alternative. On the one hand they could scrap the ether theory which had explained so many things about electricity, magnetism, and light. Or if they insisted on retaining the ether they had to abandon the still more venerable Copernican theory that the earth is in motion.
To many physicists it seemed almost easier to believe that the earth stood still than that waves – light waves, electromagnetic waves – could exist without a medium to sustain them. It was a serious dilemma and one that split scientific thought for a quarter century. Many new hypotheses were advanced and rejected.
The experiment was tried again by Morley and by others, with the same conclusion; the apparent velocity of the earth through the ether was zero.”
Lincoln Barnett, The Universe and Dr. Einstein, p. 44
The quote above dear friends, is the heart of the matter.
It is never taught why the philosophical-mathematical chimera of ‘Relativity’ was erected as dogmatic gospel truth, more divine than any creed emanating from the Catholic Church. The idempotent galvanising factor is the reality that we on this globe have not, and cannot, mechanically measure, using light interference experiments, a movement of this planet through the heavens. Relativity was conjured by the mathigicians to explain this anomaly.
As a ‘science’ Relativity has no merit, as about 1000 pages on this substack attest and establish. It was, and still is, a maths game of illusion.
One of the most risible and inane scientistic marketing claims is that Einstein was a ‘genius’ and the ‘greatest scientist ever’. Neither is true. He was not a practical scientist, and did not build a single experiment to prove this anti-scientific ‘thought experiments’.
‘The’ Einstein created elaborate tensor-calculus models which mean nothing. The author uses the same in his quotidian existence. The author can take any tensor model, distort it, beat it, torture it and force it to produce anything he wants. It does not mean it is ‘science’. More here
“We see thus that we cannot attribute any absolute meaning to the concept of simultaneity. Rather, two events which, considered from one system of reference, are simultaneous, can, considered from a system moving in relation to the former, not be considered as simultaneous.”
“Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper” (“On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies”), Annalen der Physik, 17, Sept. 26, 1905, p. 897.
We discuss why this contention is false. Einstein was more or less forced to his conclusions about motion and time dilation due to his ‘principle of equivalence’, which holds that there is no net difference between gravitational force and acceleration, and both effects will produce the same results. This equivalence was never proven, is patently false and is just assumed. Further, absolute time never slows, only a measured, calculated frequency of time will vary.
‘Education’, whatever that word means, does not teach critical thinking, nor encourage Thomasian doubts about dogma. Saint Albert’s canon preaches ‘relativity’ of all variables and phenomena. Fine. I will now opt to keep lengths and time constant but change the speed of light. Everything is ‘relative’ isn’t it?
Mathematically speaking, the two solutions, where we have a variance in light speed in the second solution (with invariance in the first), are precisely equivalent. In this case, the ‘relative’ nature of Relativity comes back to haunt it and using the Saint’s own maths we can ‘prove’ that light is invariant which destroys the principle axiom of ‘relativity’. So much science. More here
“For seventy-two years [1905- 1977] humanity has been browbeaten by an incomparably brazen bit of pseudo-science because its perpetrators have defended it by using mathematics which, though valid in itself, is not applied in relation to objective facts that are analyzed logically in the real world.
Recondite kinds of higher mathematics have been falsely used to create an awesome, esoteric language whereby the initiated elite have set themselves apart from the world and have labeled all dissenters as quacks.”
(Richard Hazelett and Dean Turner, The Einstein Myth and the Ives Papers: A Counter- Revolution in Physics, 1979, pp. 88-91)
Reductionist mathematics has now replaced reality.
The General Theory of Relativity (GTR) and the Big Bang, premised on gravity, paradoxically predict an expanding, infinite universe, with galaxies moving away from us at high speeds. Unfortunately for this dogma, there are galaxies which are not moving away at high speeds, and which are moving toward(s) us. This comports with data from the James Webb Telescope and other probes which indicate no expansion and perhaps a far smaller, finite universe than that proposed by the Church of Cosmology, with chaotic movements and directions.
Key gospel claims from the Church of Relativity include:
Gravity, within a curvature of spacetime, is generated by unknown forces, by the attraction of masses and energy (false, disproven by reality)
Spacetime is a four-dimensional continuum (unproven, false, impossible)
The laws of physics are the same for all observers, regardless of their motion (Wrong, Relativity denies that the motion of the observer impacts light speed or velocity, a patently false assertion)
Light follows geodesics (the shortest paths) in curved spacetime (false, spacetime not curved, tautological)
Gravitational time dilation and length contraction occur (absurd, unproven)
These are philosophical assertions not facts. For example, no one discusses ‘Blueshifting’ because it eviscerates the Church’s narrative and rhetoric around GTR and the Big Bang. NASA or Not a Space Agency defines the Blueshift in the following terms:
"Blueshift is a decrease in the wavelength of light emitted from an object that is moving towards us. It is caused by the Doppler effect, which compresses the light waves as the source moves closer."
There are a few problems with this definition. Light emission is a frequency and spectrum issue. It does not indicate movement. It does not mean that the object is not moving toward us, but it does not guarantee it is doing so. Second, the Doppler effect, is another word-salad. There are many issues with such an ‘effect’.
