So if all galaxies were accelerated to the speed of light, then everything would come to a stop. <g>

tompotter.us 1. A physical property is a quality which can be measured, or computed from the measurements of other properties. 2. Action is a physical property which has the dimensions of angular momentum and occurs only in unit steps of Planck's Constant ( h). 3. A body is a collection of properties associated with a memory element. The physical property commonly associated with bodies is mass, but more fundamentally it is action. ( And even more fundamentally it is a period, precession product.) 4. An interaction is the transfer of action from one body to another. Interactions are like ledger transactions. Some action is debited from a cause ( source) body and exactly the same amount of action is credited to an effect ( sink) body. 5. When bodies interact, only integer number of units of action are exchanged. ( Repeat of (2) for emphasis and logical order.) 6. Action can be the product of two or more other properties, and is an integer constant although its' factors might not be. Action is like a gallon of paint. You can paint so many square feet with a gallon of paint. Regardless of whether you paint a square or a long line, you still get the same number of square feet out of the gallon. The X and Y dimensions of the painted rectangle are like two properties whose product is action. They can have any value but their product must equal the action. 7. Experiments indicate that some of the properties which are factors of action are "conserved", or remain the same before and after an interaction has taken place. The conserved properties include energy, momentum and charge. 8. Now, if a property is conserved, or remains constant during an interaction, and if action is always constant, then any property, which is the quotient of action divided by a conserved property, also remains constant during an interaction. These properties are called "homogeneous" properties and they include time, space, magnetic flux and diffusity. These properties are called homogeneous as there are no discontinuities in them. They can be though of as smooth, continuous media. Action, therefore, is the product of a conserved property, and a homogeneous property. Examples include: action = energy * time action = momentum * distance action = charge * magnetic flux action = conserved property * homogeneous property The conservation of mass implies that diffusity is also a homogeneous property. action = mass * diffusity Diffusity is the change in surface area per unit time. If diffusity is homogenous, this implies that the surface area of the universe, and thus the universe its self, is expanding homogeneously. On the other hand, non-homogenous diffusity indicates that time and space, in the region of non-homogenous diffusity is not homogenous. 9. In stable systems, although the amount of action and the product of the conserved and the homogeneous properties remain constant, the values of the conserved and homogeneous properties can vary. For example, an orbital system can have stable elliptical orbits in which the momentum-radius product remains constant although the radius and momentum are constantly changing. 10. Now, here's the fun part. Action also is the product of energy and time. This means that the energy-time product remains constant in a stable system, and that the energy in a stable system can vary as long as the energy-time product remains constant There are several implications to this: a. Time is unique to each system. All time, energy pairs are independent. b. Time maintains a steady state value in systems where the energy remains constant. This is observed as a steady state period, or no doppler effect. c. It means that the energy of a system is modulated by its' velocity relative to other bodies. In other words, the energy of a system is a function of its' velocity relative to other bodies. d. It means that if the universe is stable, then the increase in time due to the "red shift" ( A decrease in frequency is a increase in time.) means that the total energy of the universe must be decreasing so the energy-time product can remain constant. This agrees somewhat with Dr. Abian's theory that the mass of the universe is being converted into time. Actually, energy is being converted into time, and mass is being converted into diffusity, or expansion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is light? Light is the name given sometimes to the cause part ( Source) of an interaction, and sometimes given to the effect ( sink) part, and sometimes to the mysterious interval between cause and effect. What exists in the interval between cause and effect is not light but standing waves, as Ray Tomes suggests. Light is the manifestation of a change of action at either the cause or the effect systems, or the interval between cause and effect. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The points are: 1. Energy IS being converted to time. ( And mass to diffusity. Abian is almost right.) 2. Time ( or frequency) is NOT light. Light is an effect, not a property. It cannot be converted to another property nor defined in terms of another property. In other words, light does not have mass because light is an effect.
