Summary
- Distinction Between Things and Non-Things
o Referents are either things (leave empirical evidence) or non-things (do not).
o Non-things cannot be agents, cannot change by themselves, and have no physical coordinates.
o Concepts, numbers, and time are non-things; time is a concept, not an agent.
o Absolute Time is a perfect, unchanging Platonic Form.
o Time has no physical coordinates and cannot be traveled to or from.
o Genuine bidirectional time travel is not possible because it requires that the past still exists and that the future already exists. Both are nonsensically paradoxical.
o Time dilation is a mathematical construct, not a physical change to time itself.
o Space is modeled as a useful active thing, with agency, energy, mass, and physical coordinates.
o Space is not infinite in any quality except possibly duration.
o Space is active, evolving, growing, reproducing, and provides a physical mechanism for action-at-a-distance, quantum entanglement, mass augmentation, length contraction, creation of virtual particles, creation of all matter (which creates light), &&&.
o Because space evolves, space is inhomogeneous, and "constants" like "c" and "G" that depend on the structure of space change, have changed, will continue to change, and are not identical from place to place.
o Like matter and radiation, space is composed of fundamental motions but is highly gossamer compared to light, which is highly gossamer compared to matter, and space more far readily changes form than light does.
- Space-Time as a Non-Thing
o Space-time is not a thing but a chimeric mathematical construct (a non-thing), useful in general relativity but not a physical entity.
o Only things can curve; space curves but space-time cannot curve or exist as things do.
o The universe and multiverse operate under a zero-sum law: all completely conserved quantities sum to zero.
o Conservation laws are metaphysical consequences of nothingness.
o The total energy in the multiverse is always zero.
o The total amount of any completely conserved quantity is always zero.
o Many paradoxes in modern physics arise from confusing non-things with things.
o Mechanistic explanations are necessary for true comprehension; mathematical descriptions alone are useful but insufficient.
o The Law of Contradiction is true-by-definition and thus cannot have any exceptions. Thus, any contradiction proves that an error has been made. A plethora of contradictions proves gross error.
o Thus, since relativity and the concept of time travel are riddled with contradictions, many errors have been made.
