Apr 4, 2012 - "If a theory cannot be explained to a child, then it is probably worthless" - Einstein

Mar 12, 2012 - Gravity waves are Synchrotron radiation or Cosmic rays! Space, Time and Graviation have no separate existence from matter! Physical objects are not in space, but are spatially extended standing-wave structure's of a space medium! In this way the concept "empty space" loses its meaning! Since the general theory of relativity represents the physical representation of physical reality by a continuous field, the concept particles or material points can no longer play a fundamental part. Einstein.

Nov 7, 2011 - that was so racist my great great great grandfather felt it....thumbs up cause of the genius of it, though you probably never created the comment first....

Nov 3, 2011 - Why do so many people expect complex physics ideas to be explained to them in terms of simple things? These people don't go to videos on differential geometry or analytic chemistry and demand the same.

Oct 15, 2011 - what the hell did you just say, layman's terms for the astrologically ignorant didn't cross your mind?

Oct 11, 2011 - Each time gravity give up wave form gravity pulsate. Energy travel always to the end of its journey. But most confusing part gravity has to many layers each layer travel different distance. The farthest travel one from center of the inner core and energy distance decreases out words closer it gets to the surface of the inner core. We feel that right on the surface of the planet, when we go to the mountains gravity losing the density. THAT WHAT CALLS GRAVITY IN CONSTANT MOVEMENT.

Oct 1, 2011 - Well.... yeah.

Oct 1, 2011 - Thanks. I'm as confused as ever.

Sep 19, 2011 - "the rotation of the earth's core. The spinning pattern of the hub cap is due to the frame rate of our eyes". no it is due to the frequency of the light source being reflected by the spinning hub cap, or if you are referring to watching this phenomena on a monitor or tv screen it is dependent of the frames per second recorded by the camera and not as you say "due to the frame rate of our eyes".

Sep 11, 2011 - Thanks for setting me straight on a few things. I observe and document from the perspective of an artist and all art is based in science. Mystery is the essence of life. Peace, B.

Sep 5, 2011 - the reason a hub cap appears to slow down or reverse is because it's FPS changes with the speed.. the earth comment you made is just ridiculous.. gravity is stronger then the upward force from the rotation of the earth.

Aug 30, 2011 - Newton & Einstein were frauds. Checkout "The Gravitational Force of the Sun" by Dr. Pari Spolter. Spolter shows how Newton failed to interpret Kepler's 3rd law (real gravity) & proves that the entire field of non-quantum physics is one of the biggest follies in human history on a par with the Inquisition. Also, checkout "What if Einstein was wrong?" an interview with Dr. Spolter on YouTube (by ItsRainMakingTime). For a detailed summary, google John Lear's web page "Challenging Einstein".
Aviatorsmith Says:
Aug 26, 2011 - Can you explain why you state that the earth doesn't complete a revolution in 24 hours? The magnetic field is not due to the rotation of the earth but the rotation of the earth's core. The spinning pattern of the hub cap is due to the frame rate of our eyes.
dLimboStick Says:
Aug 25, 2011 - How does one measure a gravitational wave, and what would be the point of reference for the measurement?
SecularAstronomer Says:
Aug 24, 2011 - @hgfuhgvg Seeing animated versions of these images isn't necessary to understand the conveyed information, and no book will have these exact words and visual aids. If you neither value the specific information conveyed in this video, nor the convenience of accessing it online, then I agree; you should just go read a book.

Aug 22, 2011 - Why no animations? I could just read a book. Fail
