Since the writers are unwilling or unable to provide any calculations for anything at all I am forced to say that it's a crapshoot. Patrick

Way to go, ignoramus. If space and time aether move they don't go anywhere. They would be an instantaneous motion in the infinitely small and nothing else. Gravity flows this way. Mitch Raemsch

To the contrary, it's been read, dissected, and thoroughly refuted. The only person who has failed to read and properly respond here is *you*. Perhaps in another ten minutes or so this meaningless theory and it's sociopathic author will be forgotton, though. We can only hope. |
