Strange

That page also highlights some of the flaws in his reasoning. The tl;dr OP also sounds a lot like Solipsism. Which, being unfalsifiable, is of little interest.

Absolutely not. The change in the geometry of space affects everything. Including things with no mass. That is why one of the first tests of GR was the observation of gravitational lensing (the change in the path of light as it moves through curved space-time) during a solar eclipse.

This might help: Or this: Note: the lines are not "things", they are just showing what happens to straight lines in the presence of mass. So what changes is not "jelly" but just the nature of the shortest distance between two points. The shortest distance becomes a curve.

You could measure the distance between two points. Your head and the top of the door, for example. Or your car and a nearby ditch. That distance is dependent not absolute, it depends on the observer's frame of reference, the presence of mass or energy, etc. Some of those changes are what we call "gravity". p.s. meant to say: very glad you weren't hurt in your little incident.

I just spotted the irony of this being suggested the day after Independence Day.

That is wrong, surely?

What we perceive as a gravitational force is actually the curvature of space-time. (Similar to the way we perceive electromagnetic radiation as colours). The gravitational field IS space-time. Currently, there is no known way of producing a quantum theory of gravity, so no. IT is just geometry. You know: distance, angles, lengths, etc. Indeed they do.

The (changing) geometry of space and time.

Why don't you show us what your calculation is, rather than asking us to guess.

I don't think so. After all, they speak a different language. And we really don't want their gun laws.

That is a purely philosophical argument, not a scientific one. (Apart from anything else, it depends on a specific definition of the term "free will".)

No one is saying that. But clocks do not go backwards.

I think the "Recent Items" box on the main forum age is the only thing like this.

That is "metric expansion". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_expansion_of_space Inflation is a (hypothetical) period in the first fraction of second where the universe expanded very rapidly.

"Fall" into place. Very good. So, here's the thing. There is an extremely powerful theory that treats space and time as dimensions, and gravity as a result of the geometry of space-time. The theory has been repeatedly tested and makes very accurate predictions. I'm not quite sure what your (rather vague) description adds to that. I'm not sure what that means. Neither space nor gravity are going anywhere. Gravity is how we perceive curved space-time. Matter (more accurately, mass) can cause this curvature, as can energy. Space and time are equal components of space-time. They might both be emergent from some lower-level theory of quantum gravity, but currently they seem to be, pretty much, on an equal footing.

Dolly is similar. It is also a commercial font but not as expensive, so maybe you won't need to steal it. http://www.underware.nl/fonts/dolly/

Of course, you have a proof of this?

All the planets are within a few degrees of Earth's orbital plane: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_inclination#Orbits That means that the planets can never be truly aligned, because they are not all in the same plane. There is some discussion here: http://sciencequestionswithsurprisinganswers.org/2013/08/28/when-do-the-planets-in-our-solar-system-all-line-up/

.

How is that relevant?

You tell me. I assume the clock will continue to run forward. But please show a worked example if I am wrong.

Without more information, it is not possible to answer this. But I'm assuming the latter time is later than the first. But please show a worked example if I am wrong.

But under what circumstances does it run backwards?

Mathematically, space-time is just geometry.

Nope. However, this does mean that you are rejecting GR in its entirety. So you have quite a lot of work ahead of you to come up with a credible theory.
