The problem, Roberts Roberts, is that in Einstein zombie world the
experiments are consistent with the old theory and inconsistent with
the new theory. For instance, the gravitational frequency shift

f' = f(1+gh/c^2)

confirmed experimentally by Pound and Rebka, is consistent with both
Einstein's 1911 equation (in fact, old Newton's theory)

c' = c(1+gh/c^2)

showing how the speed of light varies with the gravitational
potential, and the equation

c' = c + v

given by Newton's emission theory of light (old theory) showing how
the speed of light varies with the speed of the light source. On the
other hand, the gravitational frequency shift f'=f(1+gh/c^2) is
inconsistent with equations of the type

c' = c

"...he then goes on to propose the completely opposite hypothesis,
namely that "the energy of light is discontinuously distributed".
Einstein advocates this view partly because the wave theory seems to
lead to contradictions when applied to certain emission and absorption
phenomena (such as the photoelectric effect), but mainly because he is
dissatisfied with the "profound difference" that existed between the
discrete corpuscular description of matter and Maxwell's continuous-
field description of radiation."

John Stachel: "It is not so well known that there was "another
Einstein," who from 1916 on was skeptical about the continuum as a
foundational element in physics..." Albert Einstein: "I consider it
entirely possible that physics cannot be based upon the field concept,
that is on continuous structures. Then nothing will remain of my whole
castle in the air, including the theory of gravitation, but also
nothing of the rest of contemporary physics."

I sure enjoyed watching the George Carlin marathon on HBO
last week. Eleven uncensored comedy specials, listed here:

1) George Carlin at USC - 1977
2) George Carlin Again! - 1978
3) Carlin at Carnegie - 1983
4) Carlin on Campus - 1984
5) Playin' with Your Head - 1986
6) What Am I Doing in New Jersey? - 1988
7) Doin' It Again - 1990
8) Jammin' in New York - 1992
9) Back in Town - 1996
10) You Are All Diseased - 1999
11) It's Bad for Ya - 2008

I always loved Carlin, ever since his 'Class Clown' album
of 1972, with the famous Seven Words You Can Never Say on
Television, namely (politely misspelled) Chit, Piss, Fvck,
Cvnt, Cocksvcker, Motherfvcker, and Tits.

Hi to All,
concerning the universe extension is it possible to assume that the
maximum distance between two points in the Universe is
3.14*13.7billion light years?
Explanation:
in the earth the max distance between 2 points (e.g. north pole and
south pole) is one half the ring, i.e. 3.14*r (r=earth ray). In the
universe speed material cannot exceed the light one, so the universe
cannot have an extension higher than it's age, always travelling to
it's maximum speed... the light one...
What do you think about that?
