Fig. 1 Faster than a clothesline: Why light is so fast |
The one-way particles and waves of Quantum cannot explain why light travels so swiftly. With the rope the mystery vanishes. You can prove this to yourself the next time you hang your clothes outside. Attach pins to the ends of a taut clothesline and move one of them with your little pinky. The other one moves’ instantaneously’. The signal is so fast that you can’t even catch it on tape! This is as close as it gets to realizing 'WHY' light is so fast! No particle accelerators, no Math, no bull! Torsion travels from one end to another along a taut rope almost instantly. (Check to see how much 'energy' you spent sending the signal from one end to the other. Now you know why a 'photon' is also mass-less!) |
I can't go any faster because my motion is independent of the tightrope. You’re, uuuggh, choking me, Steve! It’s the last time I piggyback a relativist across the river! |
I’m terrified of heights, Bill. Can’t you go any faster? In relativity we can exceed any speed whenever necessary! |
Why c is independent of the speed of the source |
An EM rope binds any two atoms. Light is the result of EM rope torque. Its speed is limited by (c = ƒ * λ). Gravity is the result of the exponential pull of countless ropes as two objects approach each other. For simplicity, in the following scenario we see only two of these ropes. If the cube were to travel towards the cylinder at > c (i.e., faster than the signal torquing along the rope), we should expect the rope at the rear of the cube to break and the rope in front of it to loosen. Light and gravity would disintegrate. Proponents of FTL travel would have to show how they intend to increase frequency without shortening the wavelength. |
You're running around as if you shit in your tunic after seeing a ghost, Steve. |
No you dummy! I'm trying to see if I can outrun my shadow! |
So Bill? Why is that you say that the mathematicians of the world are a bunch of idiots? |

Fig. 5 Good Vibrations |
In order for the EM rope to remain straight, an unbound atom vibrates and induces the one at the opposite end of the rope to vibrate as well. It is important to keep in mind that vibration (long arrows) is a different phenomenon than pumping (short arrows). An atom pumps while it vibrates. |
Atom labeled A is part of the crystal lattice of a solid. It is thus essentially immobile within the crystal. This does not prevent A from pumping torque signals to other atoms. Pumping, vibrating, and spinning are three different mechanisms. |
B. Mössbauer Effect Scenario 1. One atom is anchored and the other slides along the rope like a bead along the wire of an abacus. Therefore, wavelength and frequency remain the same. C. Mössbauer Effect Scenario 2. One atom is anchored and the other stretches the rope. Here, the wavelength increases at the expense of frequency (i.e., the links become longer). |
