Dean and Scott (and everybody else, including Gerry),
(From Dick)... I've been busy with other matters but have taken the time to read the "discussions" between both of you about Gravity, etc.
Rebecka posted a remarkable URL recently, quite a brilliant treatise in my opinion. Contains many thought-provoking insights into the contrasting sides of creation (and science); IMPLOSION and EXPLOSION, CENTRIPETAL (vortex) and CENTRIFUGAL. The subjects are Light, Gravity, Matter & Magnetism. The author presents a very unique explanation of basic matter than commonly presented in literature I'm aware of.
Much of the author's article DIRECTLY relates to the subject both you guys have been discussing. I hope both of you can find the time to carefully read through the article as I have. (I've also printed it off for additional study). I think you may find a lot of very interesting material to ponder. Some points will reinforce your ideas, other points will not. I've found that about my own views. Be interested to read your opinions, after you've read the article URL listed below. - Dick
IMPLOSION - The Hidden Pole of Technology
http://hardevidence.com/bbs/messages/302.html
Following is an out of context, interesting excerpt... (see type I've bold faced):
"Unfortunately, our present technology and semi-complete knowledge of physics is based almost exclusively on the second half of the cycle, the cycle of radiation, death and decay. We see this in the prevalence of explosion type motors, the extensive use of radiative technology and an almost complete absence of centripetal forms of motion. This is severely limiting an understanding of our civilization's technical possibilities as centripetal or vortex motion results in a violation of the second law of thermodynamics. It has an ordering, a concentrating, a cooling effect, while centrifugal or radiative motion has an entropic, dispersing, heating effect. With technology unbalanced on one side of the natural cycle, it is no wonder that the use of our machinery has a destructive effect on the environment and on us. Everywhere there is death, pollution, degradation & poison and mostly from the anti-life types of technologies in use. This lop-sided use of technology is distinctive of Earth's current surface civilization and differs to both inner-earth technology, that of the Galactic Federation and even earlier Earth technologies, as with Atlantis, Rama and Lemuria."
