Many people have no sense for “relative time”, and in astrophysics, too, “infinity” and “nothing” are two central unknowns.
For the ancient Greeks, the aether was a living primordial soul; perhaps they meant a space permeated by energy, which ensured the distance between all stars.

“The influence of gravitation on spacetime, the relative now, journeys into the past and future, the wormhole to the parallel universe, infinity and the many universes, theories and Euclidean dimensions are today part of the supposed state of knowledge of theoretical astrophysics”.

ALBERT EINSTEIN had still grounded his four-dimensional spacetime continuum in the elastic solid-body properties of the ether. For him, “relative time” meant that the time of a clock passes ever faster the further it moves away from the center of gravity. Or that a falling ball in an airplane would have to fall diagonally backward for an observer on the ground.
Thus, for him, “the relative now was also a real present”.
Even today, discoveries such as singularity, time dilation, length contraction, gravitational redshift and the relativistic effect refer to the four-dimensional spacetime continuum! For the Nobel Prize committee of 1917, however, “the spacetime continuum was only a speculative theory”!
ALBERT EINSTEIN did not receive a Nobel Prize for it!

What is reality?

Scientific astrophysics is based on measurability, consistency and realistic predictive power. Today, the influence of “gravitation on spacetime” contradicts the solid-body properties of the ether already dismissed by science. “Spacetime has neither energy nor matter”! As NIMA ARKANI-HAMED already said,
“Spacetime is doomed”

According to ALBERT EINSTEIN’s formula “E = mc²”, all “matter has energy”!
But the deflection of sunlight in space and the effects of a lightning strike or an electric shock show us that “all energy also has matter”!

Possibly everything in the universe, including the forces of gravitation and of feelings, is “energy-matter”. Without gravitation, without feelings and without love there is no life, no planets and no galaxies. Perhaps, then, dark matter is the “invisible energy-matter of gravitation” that we cannot yet see?

These real predictions should be explored by science!

From its appearance on the horizon until its next appearance, sunlight covers the Earth’s circumference of 40,000 km in “time X”. This time X divided by 24 gives 1 hour, which was already a measure of the Babylonians.
The Earth’s circumference divided by 40 million gives one meter and was already a measure of the Pyramid of Cheops. (see pp. 25–31, Messbare Harmonie by F. J. Capek)

At the equator, time, like the rays of the sun, would have a speed of 1,666.6 km/h or 462.9 m/s. Toward the north or south, as well as toward the Earth’s core, it would become ever slower. At ground level in Stockholm it would only have 762 km/h or 211.6 m/s, and on the theoretical north–south polar axis it would have a speed of 0 km/h. At a distance of 10 km above the equator, its speed would increase to 1,669.3 km/h or 463.7 m/s due to the greater X-time, and out into the ether its speed would become ever faster!

“But time has no speed; it can influence neither life nor the mechanics of clocks”! If it did, every clock on a jet at an altitude of 10 km above the equator, traveling at 1,669.3 km/h, would stand still, and passengers could then live forever in that position — or, at an even higher speed, grow even younger.
Only the mechanics of clocks are accelerated or slowed down by gravitation! We have our time; all other planets have their own time. Only because of the continuous deformation of the Earth must our time be constantly updated by several atomic clocks.

Gravitation continuously loses its force of attraction from the center of the Earth outward. From the empirical values of the past, a distinct tick-tock rhythm can be established for every meter of altitude, and thus an accurate time measurement for navigation as well.

The Greek GEORGIAS asked around 500 BC: “What is and what is not”?
In 2010, STEPHEN HAWKING also posed the question in his book “THE GRAND DESIGN”: “Why is there something rather than simply nothing” (p. 15)? Around 2019, the “0” was discovered on an Indian scroll dating from around 200 AD, and around 850 AD the Arabs were the first to add the “0” as “nothing” to their numbers, which further fuelled the illusion of infinity!

For “nothing” there is measurable proof! Air density decreases with increasing altitude above sea level. When air is compressed and cooled to minus 194° C, its volume is reduced to a liquid minimum!
The missing volume stands for the “nothing” that previously co-determined the air density between the various air molecules.

If the space in between had “energy-matter, it would be infinite”! The “nothing” forms a “real duality” with energy-matter. Without “nothing” there is no universe! “The infinity of the ether is an illusion”!

The “infinitely small” as well as the “infinitely large” of ISAAC NEWTON, and the “fifth element, the quintessence of the ether” of ARISTOTLE, as well as the singularity, are now merely speculative theories!

Perhaps HERACLITUS meant the present with “panta rhei, everything flows”?
Light actually flows and takes time to reach our eyes.
“Thus everything visible is already the past, and the present can only be experienced at the absolute speed of light”. However, the speed of light “c” of 299,792.458 km/s is always “relative” due to the constant influence of gravitation! And to travel into the future one would have to be beamed into a greatly exceeded speed of light, and into the past into a greatly exceeded “backwards-running” speed of light!

“Beaming, like travelling at the speed of light, is only an illusion”!

ALBERT EINSTEIN probably did not think carefully enough when he allowed himself to be deceived by the gravitation of time and space in the fourth dimension!

Without the theory of relativity, without the present and without infinity, without the “relative now” and without the many dimensions, a new astrophysics can emerge with the duality of “nothing”!

The causes behind the ice crystal experiments of MASARO EMOTO and those behind the quantum experiments of WERNER HEISENBERG have not yet been clarified by science. Why does only the “indirect observation” influence the result of quantum mechanical interaction?

Classical sciences examine only the “effect”. In doing so, the decisive feelings, “the causes of all change”, fall by the wayside! As early as around the year 1800, JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE wrote in his work “ELECTIVE AFFINITIES” (“DIE WAHLVERWANDTSCHAFTEN”) how feelings reach the external world and also determine attraction and repulsion between the chemical elements!

Thus the differing ice crystals under MASARO EMOTO’s microscope were probably produced by the feelings from the music, from the quality of the water and from the test subjects — and in quantum physics by the feelings of the seeker looking for position and momentum!

Due to the speculative, four-dimensional spacetime continuum and quantum mechanical interaction, the reality of theoretical astrophysics was already called into question for the first time around 1925!

Around the year 2010, STEPHEN HAWKING likewise expressed concerns about the current problems of theoretical astrophysics in his book
“THE GRAND DESIGN”.

He wrote:

“It seems we are at a point in the history of science at which we must redefine our goals and what makes a physical theory acceptable. Apparently, the fundamental numbers and even the form of the laws of nature observable in our cosmos are not demanded by logic or by physical principles”! (p. 143)

“But perhaps the true miracle is that abstract logical reasoning leads to a unified theory that predicts and describes a universe with all the diversity we see before us. If this theory is confirmed by observation, that is the successful conclusion of a search that began 3000 years ago”! (p.177)

“The mathematical formulas of ISAAC NEWTON seduced scientists into believing that the entire universe could be represented, if only they had the right theory and sufficient computing power”! (p. 119)

ALBERT EINSTEIN integrated “relative time” as the fourth dimension into his spacetime continuum! However, it is employed neither mathematically nor geometrically. “It is a fake”! The formula “1+1 = 2” is the first theoretical invention of mathematics!

In reality, no grain of sand exists twice, there is no second ALBERT EINSTEIN and no PARALLEL UNIVERSE, neither in the present nor in the past or future! Everything has its beginning and its end!

Mathematics, Euclidean geometry with its dimensions, numbers, time, space, the meter and also languages are merely tools, inventions without reality!

“To be or not to be, that is the question, and all theory is grey” — WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE recognized this in his Hamlet! (Act 3)

No theory, only a scientifically comprehensible philosophy, is suitable for explaining the universe!

The universe was not conceived in advance, nor did it arise from “nothing”. Its energy-matters flow with “the eternal force of gravitation” in a spiral, perpetually self-cleansing cycle — a coming into being and unfolding, a living and dying from Big Bang to Big Bang!

Gravitation has attributes of GOD!

“The beginning and end of the universe, and GOD himself, remain a mystery”!
