Hi Tom
Sometimes it seams that one must chose between what is popular and
what is true.I have been posting the theory off and on for a number
of years with no one being able to really say where the theory is
wrong.If it wasn't for the Shipero effect and its calmed proof I
would have been still arguing this theory as a hypothesis.To remind
readers its where the delay in the speed of light has been shown to
occur for light traveling by the sun so the whole basis of this
theory depends on those results being accurate.The delay must be due
to the time being slower and must be more delay than if the path was
simply bent as if by mirrors and made longer for that reason.
To get you thinking about how the theory works I usually start with
the pole in barn gedanken only this time we put in a pair of tiny
black holes or other massive objects in orbit around each other so we
have a straight path then make comparisons.
Use some extreme time delay like say 10 seconds for light to pass and
then have both a relativistic rod and a light beam enter at the same
time. Remember that because the rod cannot travel faster than light
and in its frame its in free fall we now have nearly 10 seconds for
our longer rod to be inside the barn so that all observers will agree
that yes the longer rod was inside the barn and all observers have
lots of time to communicate back and forth that they agree.
This is not Lorentz contractions as it can be shown that even if the
rod were traveling fast enough to now measure 1/2 as long we could
just as easily use a rod that was at rest 4 times as long.
The length contractions can easily be shown to be in addition to the
lorentz contractions. By analogy this is similar to runners entering
a tunnel and slowing to a walk and bunching up so more will fit
inside the tunnel but the problem with this analogy is that they can
tell they slowed and are now closer but with a slower time in their
frame they will still be running to their prospective and the
distances become streched.
Another anology is where the speed of light is slower on entering a
glass rod where its speed is 1/2 and the photons have become bunched
up and closer so we can fit a light pulse of twice the length inside
the rod before it starts to exit the end.Remember that even atons
have quantum scale components that are at least hypotisiszed to have
speed of light dependenciesso you could easily hypotisixe thattiy
quantm components randomy spinning arround at the speed of sight will
become contracted where the speed of light becomes less.That means
everything gets smaller including all rulers.
A killer pridiction of the theory is where a hypothetical experiment
where two cubes in free fall into areas of slower time could be shown
contract in such a way that they also apear to expand apart.The
experiment has serious reduction to practice problems but fits so
well with the way we now beleve space is expanding.
Note that later gedankens sugests that in some ways its as if space
has expanded and matter had not contracted at all.
The theory fits so well with observation and explains so many other
observations and without conflict in much simpler ways, that occams
razor dose favor the theory.
Sorry about the web site link but its a lot of work repeating the
same stuff but my older posting on usenet have coverd quite a bit of
the theory
I am kind of eager to have you trying to pick the theory apart and
see what we can come up with.

I really am sorry for this and reposted some of the stuff above with less errors.
Now that I am reposting anywise I noticed I never addressed you question on what I think space is.Yes I don't believe space is an empty nothing but that it still might be a bit tricky.I tend to speculate that the quantum vacuum may be better described as being of space rather than in space.Some of the postings I have done look at the idea that measuring all the modes of ZPE in and around an atom might be a bit like trying to weigh a single link in an infinitely long infinitely tight chain.Some other postings I have done looked at the idea of what would happen if you had a space ship traveling near light speed that could not be slowed down and dragging a cable that could not be broken when its end is dragged by a black hole where the speed of light were 1/2 as much.Note that in mater to avoid a local speed of light violation where the end of the cable is traveling twice as fast as the speed of light for any local observer at that level it would require the end of the cable to drag on the entire black hole.Note how it would not matter how small the end of the cable is and that this suggested that at some level everything is somehow linked together.I later came to the hypothesis that something in the quantum realm is ignoring distances, another dimension perhaps.The quantum entanglement of light and some stuff about ZPE having some wave properties that suggests some light like properties i.e. all that virtual photons again stuff may mean another type of entanglements where inertia and speed of light is regulated within our universe.Its as if the quantum vacuum was able to put matter in its place to allow space to exists leading me no say its not so much in space as of space.
More to say on this but enough for now.

This is different from Shapiro delay, where the real speed of light measured with coordinate time changes.

Of course its very different but by analogy its similar enough to help in illustrating the idea.One of the best points on how different it is is the fact that the glass will slow different wavelengths by different amounts.Gammas will slow very little if at all.

Actually when this theory started I had actually spent more time trying to disprove the theory than I did on developing it more.It resulted in a a lot extra news group postings hopping I could find some help but for some reason many of my posts seamed to end the threads as if people did not know how to respond or alternatively they seamed to ignore me and continue on with other arguments.I often noted I was the most ignored crank on Usenet.Not sure if thats good or not.

The best policy is to remain detached and objective about every idea. Then the impact of some of the biases introduced by our minds will be lessened.

<br />The [Shapiro effect] delay must be due to the time being slower and must be more delay than if the path was simply bent as if by mirrors and made longer for that reason.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">The delay is exactly what is predicted if the light-carrying medium's density varies exactly as gravitational potential varies. Simple refraction causes light traveling through a denser medium to slow down, and the predicted amount is exactly as observed.
Thinking in terms of something changing about time is counterproductive and grossly misleading.

Greetings Forum,
Nothingness is impossibly to describe, by stating nothing "IS" denotes it is a something,
There is only "Existence" no "absence of existence"
Like this; take out all energy all matter, all time out of "Existence" condense all space or void into a infinitesimal point condense it further into a dimensionless singularity compress it out of existence we and everything vanish forever.
When Existence Vanishes it denotes "absence of existence"
There is "Only Existence, I Exist therefore I am
A singular expression of all Existence is the state of
"AM"
Regards
Alan
I feel as if I am a small boy holding but a teaspoon of knowledge standing before the Infinity Ocean of all knowledge
