len, i find your comments childish and they spoil a promising debate.
I wont add anything more - I dont want to turn it into a name calling thread. I thought you were a little more adult than that.
Good luck in your quest for the truth!

Debate? That is a discussion in which opposing arguments are presented.
Your forte seems to be sniping from cover and disparaging the authors from whose published papers I have quoted.
I suggest you learn how to debate.
So you have decided on a tantrum. Enjoy.

Whatever. You just dont like anyone pointing out that your assertions are fatally flawed and full of new age woo. Disagreement never suits the woo brigade.
Try putting it on badpsychics.com. A real forum! See how long your theories last there without being ripped to shreds by persons far less bothered about being polite than I am.
But, on a family history message board, you are bound to get the reaction you're looking for.
Me, I prefer reality. And you're the one who got personal, not me.

When Albert Einstein first published his paper on relativity, just about 100 years ago, the number of scientists who understood it could be counted on the fingers. But it was the building blocks of nuclear physics.
His equation was E=mc². Not much to look at but mind shattering. E is the energy equivalent of mass (m) and c is the speed of light. Light is the form of electromagnetic radiation that makes things visible to us and travels at 186,281 miles a second in tiny packets called quanta. Squared, the size of the figure (11figures) takes it outside of our grasp. Mass and energy are interchangeable. This equation is the basis of all nuclear physics and has subsequently been verified experimentally. Moreover, although energy may alter to another form, or to mass (and vice versa), matter cannot be destroyed, only changed into another form or back into energy.
The world about us changed from then on. We had been used to three dimensions, up and down, side to side and backwards and forwards. Now we had to cope with a fourth, time. It doesn’t stop there, as it turns out there may be any number of dimensions.
Although the mathematics of space dealt with abstractions, discoveries made by George Riemann (a German mathematician whose works were foundational to Einstein’s theory) and others make it irresistible to think that our worldly, physical space may be just as weird, complicated and wonderful as demonstrated by Einstein in his “General Theory”. We cannot have the slightest conception of what space out there in the cosmos is about. 96% of it is energy and matter completely unknown to science. Many, therefore, shun it. Their philosophy may be summed up as “We cannot comprehend, therefore it cannot exist”.
There is, though, a deeper mystery to the void first hinted at by Minowski, Albert Einstein’s tutor. Space and time form a continuous mathematical entity, which encompasses dimensions at present unknown to humanity, which is gradually being revealed.
.
There have been Newton, Darwin, then Einstein, Crick, Hoyle and Hawkins but possibly Darwin and Einstein made the most impact on our senses and beliefs. My feeling is that something more wonderful and mysterious lies ahead. The field of exploration will be quantum mechanics.
Space-time is not something from science fiction but the here and now. Its governing force is that weakest of force-fields, gravity In fact, in physics, space-time and gravity mean the same thing and it permeates the whole of the cosmos. Shut down gravity and the universe disappears. Electro-magnetism is also a force-field but, together with time is a part of gravity. There’s no point in trying to figure out the meaning of these terms as even scientists cannot yet do this or substantiate them mathematically. Just one of those things; you know damn well it is there but it cannot be mathematically proved- yet.
Gravity can, though, provide us with a local sense of dimensional space to which most of us grab onto, denying anything outside our own personal experiences. We hang on grimly to our walls, floors and clocks and except, perhaps after imbibing too rashly, can tell which way up we are, even with our eyes shut. Some of us admit to sensing “something great” out there whilst others feel safer by shutting their minds to it. Far from the age of discovery being over, it is accelerating at an unbelievable rate. What will the forthcoming year bring forth?
Scientists have found out there in the void (and here on earth), an energy called electromagnetism which comes in many and varied forms. It acts as an invisible force marshalling and moving matter. Electromagnetism is an energy requiring neither matter, time nor dimensions to support it. Physicists have failed, so far, to find any unity among the disparate fields and particles that shimmer throughout space-time but it appears to be connected, in a very subtle form, with consciousness and the power of the mind to affect animate or inanimate objects.
