Open Letter to Albert Einstein

Uhm... excuse me Albert...professor Einstein, may I speak with you? I have the utmost respect for you as the artist and scienctist that you were, but I must now respectfully inform you that you were wrong. Your standard model does indeed predict the physical world around us, but so did ptolemy's system of planetary rotation.
If you will, sir, I would like to present an alternative model. one that is simpler to explain, and actually, quite like the old one. If I may I would like to begin with your ideas on the fabric of space/time. Its wrong. According to you, it is the gravitational forces that curve the fabric of space/time. and objects are rolling along a surface, suspended between the gravitational forces and centripital forces.

We beleive this curvature of space/time to be true because we can see its effect on light from distant stars as it passes very large objects. An effect called gravitational lensing bends the lights, creationg distorition. hmm...okay makes sense.
But Albert, have you ever heard of this stuff called "dark matter?" Physisict tioday tell us there is this stuff that neither emits, or reflects light. We know it exists because of its gravitational effects on objects. Specficially - it's effect shows up in the bullet cluster, which is 2 galaxies colliding, or rather 2 galaxies collided. And when these two galaxies collided the large objects passed by/through with little resistent, while the gasses all got mixed up in the middle. But it turns out densities of gravity do not match up with your theories. Your theory states that the distribution of gravitational forces should be centered in the center of these two colleded galaxies. But it shows up on the edges, where the larger objects are. So the assumption is that there is this additional matter that we cannot see that is responsible for the additional gravitational effects. But we think we know it accumulates around large objects, and is everywhere in the universe...in fact 80% of the matter is made up of this stuff.
But what is dark matter? Atmosphere. or in your day it was referred to as aether. Now hear me out. Its the physisit who say there is this stuff, not me. Its the physist who say that we cannot see it, and that we only know of its existence through its gravitation effects. But what if there is an atmosphere of this stuff that is evenly distributed throughout the universe? if that were the case, we would not be able to see its gravitational effects. Of course it is matter, or lets just assume that for the time being - so it too is attracted to large objects. As a result, what we see as the gravitational effects of dark matter, is the variation of atmospheric density.
See where I am going with this? So if it is the case that the atmosphere has a higher density, you don't need some new crazy idea of curvature of space/time. Its simply the same effect of early morning sun-light passing through a glass of water sitting on your kitchen table. Variations in density effect how light moves. Whats thought of as this crazy idea of gravitation lensing isn't.

I know right? well there is more. Can we talk about time? because you kind of are wrong about that too. On some level, I'm sure time as some crazy shit going on. but really, what we are talking about is our perception of time. If we take a ruler and stretch it, that doesn't mean we've distorted space. and just because a clock goes slower, doesn't mean we have distorted time.

I would like to begin with a discussion on angular momentum. Take a bicycle wheel and spin it while holding it with both hands (on both sides) sitting on a swivel chair. Holding it parallele to the ground will produce a rotation of you on the chair in the opposite direction of the spinning wheel. flip the wheel 180 degress (referse the rotation) and your rotation reverses.
I'm not sure how physisicts explain this phenomenon. If you ask me its pretty strange behavior. And if you probe beyond the basic explanation of the transfer of angular mometum from the wheel to you, physisict will look down their noses and say that it has to do with stuff in quantum mechanics that you are too fucking stupid to understand.

I agree - it is the transfer of angular moment, but how? Its internal, but how? well, the spinning wheel causes the atoms and/or any subatomic particles to spin - its a chain reaction throught the amrs, and finally works its way throught the whole, resulting the whole (you spinning). I can explain this in better detail, but for now the important idea to take from this is this idea of spinning. Everything spins. and whether its spinning clockwise or counterclockise is only relative to your position.

ughh...I tire. this is a rough draft. But the point I am trying to slowly lead to has to do with the indea of Force, and the difference between internal forces and external forces. We move through space because of a transfer of angular momentum of subatomic particles. Our subatomic particles are rotating, and the faster we move, the slower they rotate...until they don't rotate anymore....this is the speed of light. Our most accurate calculations of time are made through the use of an atomic clock. that clock is based on the rotation of the atom, which simply is transfering its interior angular momentum to the movment of the whole. and if we are moving with the clock our interior angular momentum slows down. and becuase our cognative perception is based on the rate at which these things spin, we don't notice if the clock speeds up or slows down, becuast it also adjust our perception.

Its not smart, its creative and I know you understand the difference between those two.

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM - or - GROUND CONTROL, ITS MAJOR TOM. THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG

One of the big problems is the speed at which society moves. For many, they have adapted. But there method of adaptment as been to eliminate the questioning portion of the process. They can merely act on instinct - stimulus/response.

Another problem is the media, and how it operates. In terms of news, it is only natural that because the speed of society is moving quickly, the speed of news would move quickly. Even if it wanted to, it would not have the resources to keep up. Of course that is not its intention. Those awake can see that the media simply acts as Public Relations for corporations. The Film industry is the same way.

Our education system is horrific. It is not about critical thinking, its not about creativity. Its about conditionig. Its about control. Its never so much about any specific ideology, but that it is because it is a specific ideology. It doesn't matter which one. But the opposing ideology is always swept under the rug. The result is simply conditioning to accept authority, a top down view of the world. And slowly over time on a generational scale we are loosing our ability to think critically, we are loosing our creativity, we are loosing our humanity.

Fear is a major driving force behind both the increased speed and shutting down of critical and creative thinking. Our human senses work through registering of change. Its not that we become acclimated, but that we are no longer registering change. This is true with objects that dissapear in your periferal vision if you stare at something. this is true with atmospheric temperature, this is true with smells, and even touch. Every sense. So we do not sense the Fear that permeates every aspect of our lives. but it is a subtle consistent force. Every time an event happens the fear level in the society shoots up. over reacting? probably. in most cases. But when the the event passes, the level of fear never drops to pre event level. And let us not forget the medias constant drum-beat of all things that can/will kill us. This atmosphere of fear permeates our daily lives like a thick layer of molassis that covers our experiences and emotions. the cracks are beginning to show. the cracks have been showing for quites some time now. Ironically this is the reason we are told not to pay attention to the cracks. Slowly...very slowly the world has been going insane.
