These next posts will be about gravity.



Consider what you saw.

Gravity as we understand it: according to General Relativity.

The point that you should take from this video is that INERTIA and MOMENTUM are [fictional and notional] mass effects and are independent of gravity and are NOT correspondent properties to gravity as is commonly mistaught and assumed.

Two things here.
-You can use the coulombe effect to fly. (Luke Skywalker's aircar for example is possible for us-you can float on magnetic field lines.)
-Gravity is roughly a million billion times WEAKER than the electromagnetic influence.

How do you measure for gravity waves?

You use space itself and light.

This depends on the assumption that we expect space to stretch and distort as we split a light beam across a known pair of intervals as a gravity wave passes through. As space vibrates we expect the oscillations to show up as flickers of laser light oscillating in correspondence to the wavelength (interval) of a gravity wave.

Today a great hero of American physics discusses gravitation. Richard Feynman was probably our greatest physicist before the present day, Lisa Randall.

And now you know why Lisa Randall is the second great hero of American physics.

SHE found the answer that Feynman could not-why is there a ratio between gravity and electromagnetism that is so out of whack?.

Today we will follow Richard Feynman as he discusses physics and symmetry.

We pick up on the nature of physical law: Entropy-> asymmetry -> TIME.

How can you separate out the asymmetry we need to explain time?

How does a ordered universe supposedly headed to chaos form localized ordered complexity?

Laws of probability.

Hence "A little CHAOS is a GOOD thing."

Today we will have more Feynman.......

This will be more or less scattershot and bounce around.



Special relativity never mind the music. Listen carefully about what he says about the frame of reference.

How to approach math, and the "gift". And of course; "Authority".

Note how he explains; "photon". We know better now. The photon is a harmonic of space-time. We have no idea why that is-just that it is.

And of course why he worked on "evil".
