the theory is that light does not move. but everything else does and at "light speed". the observed differences in objects moving through space are really just the difference in which they move through time.
this thinking helps me understand how light speed cannot be exceeded since you cannot go slower than to stop and to approach the speed of light is actually to slow down rather than to speed up.
it also accounts for time dialation. reasoning that time is a measuremnt of movement it stands to reason that time slows as you approach c until both stop.
am i just looking at what is already known from a different angle or is this new or am i just another crackpot?
it is easy to see in someone else but hard to see in ones self.
thanks.

to marklemoo, i only suggest that time is a way of measuring movement and not a thing like you say. it is however a thing in the sense that things move through it, like spcace.

and it is the passage of speed that is measured reativly.

to robert c. the energy comes from the difference between our speed and light speed becoming the same through some kind of conductor of energy.

to fourkingh you forget that the theory allows for anything to go more quickly light speed and that is what you describe.

Time isn't a thing, so one can not travel through it. Time is a measurement, basically one to measure entropy within a system, nothing more. How the 'passage' of time is measured is relative to the observer.

The Universe is the totality of existence. Everything. This includes that which is considered to some as being in the 'past' or 'future'. Viewing events in this perspective eliminates the idea of conventional movement.

Edit: Sorry, Robert C, but you don't know what you are talking about. When you've actually studied physics, and thoroughly, then maybe you can do something other than regurgitate some random nonsense that's been perpetuated for the last century by laymen.

Sorry my friend ... you are a crackpot. Light's speed does varie slightly. When light passes through another object (water, crystals, just about everything else) it does slow down slightly (it also bends) so in your theory c would equal a negative and start to travel in reverse.

EDIT: It is now apparent to me that would didnt want help in dispelling your "theory" you only wished to argue. It seems to me that no matter how many ppl describe to you that what you say cannot be true you will just tack something new onto it that really doesnt make much sense. I said that in you theory light trying to travel through something, water lets say, would suddenly go in reverse. Now, if it touched the water and reversed itself wouldnt it bounce off the water???

I took Physics and this just doesn't seem to add up. However, I am not a physicist so I can't give any specific reason. However, things can move faster than the speed of light, right? So how can something slow down more if its speed is zero? Just a thought.

I am hardly qualified to answer this, however, I do note that science seems to be in accord that light moves at 186,000 miles per second. And I am not sure that everyone will agree that light is the absolute basis to determine movement. I understand that there is firm speculation from acknowledged scientists that there may be other yardsticks, and that the discussion of "time warp" may not be as fanciful as it first sounds. Therefore, I am inclined to disagree on your interesting theory, but who knows? Not me, obviously.

it incredibly is something that i discover the two facets are accountable of. it incredibly is purely that each and every person is entrenched of their evaluations and consequently the evaluations or perspectives of the opposing facets are perceived in simplistic and as caricatures. i do no longer think of it incredibly is an attempt to lie to, yet is purely human beings arguing approximately issues they are unaware of. Examples from the two facets that i've got seen on R&S: - there is truly no information for evolution (even even with the undeniable fact that authentic to a pair quantity, i.e. that there is no singular piece of information that proves it, there's a great physique of helping information) - faith is the reason in the back of all wars/greater wars than the rest/greater suffering than the rest. - faith prevents scientific discovery - Islam is a violent faith - Medieval Christians have been ignorant illiterate people who believed the international became flat - concept X disproves evolution... and so on and so on and so on. It receives somewhat uninteresting after a on an identical time as, because of the fact it incredibly is glaring that maximum folk make claims and counter-claims with none thought or examine and are purely parrotting often-held yet misguided homilies.

But that would imply (assuming Einstein's equation is true, which I guess you're trying to say it's not) that there is no energy in the universe. But then how would anything accelerate?

Oh and Markemoo... time is a thing, the 4th dimension, at least according to some, and you can travel through it, as you are doing right now.

interesting theory, but i know little of physics so cannot really tell if it's likely.
i read somewhere that one theory of what would happen to matter in a black hole is the reversal of the space time relationship. usually you move in space but have no control over time, but according to this theory in a black hole space shifts continually and that is unstoppable, but time is a matter you can move through in any way, including stopping as well as going backwards.

Then how do you explain that there is a delay in the flow of information (radio waves which travel at c )

at what point, does time and light =0? I would have to qualify your "theory" as hypothetical
