<p>Graham:</p>
<p>I'm working on a paper that is entitled "the speed of Now" in
which I make an argument that the constant "c" should net be
associated with the speed of light but rather the speed with which
our individual and perhaps collective perception travels, i.e
processes, its way through a block memory space time. This sounds
like tangible physicalization of your ideas, No?<br>
</p>
<p>Along those lines I <br>

<p>"Because, according to the general theory, the <b>speed of a
light wave depends on the strength of the gravitational
potential along its path,</b> these time delays should thereby
be increased by almost 2x10<sup>−4</sup> sec when the radar
pulses pass near the sun. Such a change, equivalent to 60 km in
distance, could now be measured over the required path length to
within about 5 to 10% with presently obtainable equipment.</p>

<pre class="moz-signature" cols="72"><font size="+2">It is the constancy assumption of the speed of light that justifies special and
general relativity.
Perhaps we should be thinking of gravity more as an instantaneous , non shielding
mass to mass effect, that provides a force in a flat background,which interacts with charges
and their EM fields to
change the construction of our EM measureing instruments that define space and time
in the first place??

<div><font face="Arial" color="#000080" size="2">(b) As I indicate
in my starred footnote (previous email), my broader view of
reality includes the possibility of some form of
time-independent 'higher causation' - which in turn posits a
'time-independent' higher reality; from that higher
perspective it is my view, as you suggest, that we (i.e. our
consciousness[es - but actually all one]) traverse the
totality of atemporal reality in a way that gives us a
sensation of 'time' * - however it shouldn't be taken from
this that this atemporal reality is set in stone, I believe
that it is fluid, changeable, in a sense that's beyond our
comprehension (at present), responding to the collective input
of all consciousness. If we are to rise above the
train-tracks that conventional science is currently stuck in
and move our thinking forward, we must be prepared - once
again, as Hertz did - to accept the possibility that there are
aspects of reality beyond our perception and actively seek out
those aspects: only then will we overcome limitations that we
have imposed on ourselves by our limited world-view.</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000080" size="2">* Note that this
implies that what we see as 'the speed of light' is, rather,
the 'rate' at which consciousness traverses this atemporal
electromagnetic 'space-time matrix' that we refer to as the
cosmos [which itself is another example of limited thinking].
That 'rate of traversal' itself raises various rather
interesting considerations.</font></div>

<p>Grahame:</p>
<p>My computer did some funny things and just found your
response and paper, will read and comment, sounds interesting.</p>
<p>regarding your comments:</p>
<p>To Grahame: We are so used to causality and computer symbols
that we write m*a = F and think F causes acceleration. But
mathematical equations express a condition. The dAlambert
principle expresses Newtons law as 0= F - ma or 0 = F + Fa ,
This should be read as the condition not a causal equation.
Physical material can only happen where all forces are zero.
No causality. Therefore simply a structural condition on
possible configurations of a Block Universe. In that sense
everything already exists we just become aware of the part we
call Now as we move through it.</p>
