Universal Now
In 1955 at the Ham Radio Convention in San Francisco I saw something, I saw a pattern. On a large oscilloscope there was something that looked like a square wave, but I didn’t see it. I saw a filter, and said “man dig them crazy skirts”1. My dad said I was wrong, it was a square wave. The salesman said “the boy is right, the base is frequency not time”. Then my father saw it too.
What I saw in 1955 was from a different Reference Frame from my father. That doesn’t mean I am more intelligent than my father.
Before Einstein, time was absolute. Since Einstein, time has been relative. In mainstream physics today all is relative, there is No Preferred Reference Frame (NPRF).
The speed of light is constant. To make relativity work, Einstein had to assume distortions in time and space.
Einstein saw something: we move both in space and time, and the sum of those movements equals the speed of light.
The faster we move in space, the slower we move in time. If we could move in space at the speed of light, we would stop moving in time.
The slower we move in space, the faster we move in time. If we could stop moving in space, we would move at the speed of light in time.
But I saw something: the absolute speed of light means there is absolute time, it means there is a preferred reference frame. And that preferred reference frame is the center of the Universe.
The Universal Now sits at the center of the Universe and moves through time at the speed of light. And all of us, each in our own Reference Frame, are moving with it.
What I saw in Special Relativity was from a different Reference Frame from Einstein. That doesn’t mean I am more intelligent than Einstein.
And in this case, there is something else: that doesn’t mean Einstein was wrong. In this case, we don’t know the Truth, we can only have our view.
