Back in my school daze (sic intentional, this was in the 60's), I inadvertently signed up for a course in Cosmology. One of the baffling topics covered was the relationship between local intertial forces and the rest of the universe.

I seem to remember that one of the popular theories posited that the relationship between local inertial forces and other objects in the universe was linear; i.e., the magnitudes of local inertial forces on an object varied with the first power of the distances between that object and all other objects in the universe.

The net result was that the most distant objects in the universe had more influence on local intertial properties than the nearby objects.

Am I on track with this?

remember a thought experiment that suggested that other objects in the universe at least had some sort of effect on local intertial forces:

Let's say I stand up and begin spinning around. Blood begins to rush to my extremities, and the fluids in my inner ear let my brain know that the system is rotating.

Suddenly all things in the universe except me cease to exist. Am I still spinning? I should have some angular momentum left over from the old universe. But will my blood and inner ear fluids still react as though I'm spinning, or do I need other objects in the universe to tell these fluids that something is going on?

It seems that in this universe I can have an inertial frame of reference; but in a universe where I am the sole occupant, there is no inertial frame of reference to be had, or at least not one that I can perceive.

Or is this one of those unanswerable riddles?

Where you need to start is, "What is time?" The reason for this is that physical time has a bearing on all movement. If there were to exist no physical time, then there would be no movement of any kind. Physical time is the baisis of all mass and energy values.

So, what is physical time. It is a velocity (likely you already knew this). It is the value of "c". Then, the question arises as to why the value of "c" is the value of all forms of physical time. If you know the value of physical time, then it is able to be related to different aspects of creation and the result will make sense.

Mass is composed of electromagnetic energy. This form of energy first exhibits itself as a mass in the formation of an electron. Multiples of this form of energy form protons and neutrons, which in turn form our physical world. The value of "c" does not diminish when formed into an electron. This is evidenced when negative and positive ones come into contact and they disappear as high frequency radiation. The elctromagnetic form of energy was there all along. Electromagnetic energy had been formed into an electron by its frequency moving in an arc of more than 360 degrees and overlapping itself - thus frequency bonded to frequency, but the speed still remained.

Were all the mass of the universe reduced to its lowest form, it would all reduce to electromagnetic energy. At that time our universe would have become one-dimensional instead of three. The interesting aspect of this transformation would be that an outside observer could see that all motion would be that of one direction (being equatable to time moving from the present into the past). This motion would be one directional (each photon moving in a single dimension at the speed of light), so no matter which direction the photon moved, it would it would still be in the same direction as all the others - there exists no such thing as direction in a single dimensional world - everything is the same direction. In a system where there is only a single dimension and a single speed, time does not exist. Time only exists when there are values of direction that are less than that of the value of "c", which happens in the formation of mass.

So, what is it that is being measured in individual mass inertial values? Each is being measured relationally to others having values that exist between mass rest and that of the speed of light.

fairly, gravity IS a tension. something that has mass, has gravity. sure, blackholes suck easy. easy has no mass via fact no longer something with mass can gain easy velocity. easy does no longer artwork an identical way as different issues interior the universe via fact easy and time are warped by ability of mass. If there grow to be no longer something in area, sure, gravity could nonetheless exist. think of of gravity like a blanket stretched tightly by using the universe. while a planet is placed on the sheet, the sheet bends in a hollow around the mass. If there grow to be no mass, the "sheet" could nonetheless be there, only no hollow.
