Why God Doesn't Exist
The force of pull is
conceptually
straight
Okay now! In order to be
straight, you must take the
gum out of your mouth and
stretch it between your fingers.

    Of the two forces of the Universe, only pull may result in something being close to straight in the physical
    world. Compare, for example, pulling as opposed to pushing the ends of a rubber band. The stronger we
    pull, the straighter the rubber band seems to get. If we push, we guarantee that it sags. There is no object
    in nature that is perfectly straight, but if we are to imagine ideal structural straightness, it is difficult to
    believe that we can do without the force of pull.

    So I ask: Why does light travel rectilinearly as soon as it leaves the atom or the flashlight? Is it because it
    is being pulled?

    A good analogy is the old Indian Rope Trick. The turbaned fellow toots his flute and the rope grows
    straight out of the basket (Fig. 1). Why doesn’t the photon curve sharply or zig-zag like a drunken driver
    upon leaving the atom, more so if the atom is in motion?

    In a related matter, how can you induce transverse undulations on a string unless the string is already tied
    to the wall?

    The mathematical physicists simulate standing waves in the lab by tying a rope to a pole and shaking it
    up and down. So, are the mathematicians suggesting perchance that waves of light coming from the
    Andromeda Galaxy are already tied to Earth? If we agree that light propagates rectilinearly and that it
    consists of transverse standing waves, as a minimum we should suspect that the force of pull is
    somehow involved in both phenomena. Neither property can be simulated with one-way push
    mechanisms such as traveling waves and discrete particles.

The Indian Rope Trick and standing waves models of light

    The mathematicians claim that standing waves are generated with resonant traveling waves.  [1]  However,
    until the mathematicians can tell us what it is that is waving, the wave is simply a description. They haven't
    explained anything yet. The transverse standing wave is a concept and not a physical object. A wave is a
    movie – it cannot be photographed. The verb 'wave' must necessarily be filmed. The standing wave
    proposed by the mathematicians is constructed dynamically with abstract traveling waves moving in
    opposite directions. It cannot be simulated in the lab with a physical medium. Indeed, the real test would
    be for college professors to generate transverse standing waves without tying the rope because the
    mathematicians claim that waves travel one way. How would they produce this effect with a physical
    agent such as a rope or a string in the lab without tying the other end?

    Add to this yet another related observation. Electric lines of force are known to extend radially and
    straight from a spherical charge. They have been observed to end without exception on another charge:

    " the wave here consists of a wiggling line of electric force which you can think of
       as being "attached" to the vibrating charge...It's just like a rope connecting two
       rocks."   [2]

    Again, the conclusion is inescapable. If an electric line of force is straight, whatever it is, it is being pulled
    at the other end like a catfish tugging on the line from underwater (Fig. 2). No other mechanism or agent
    ensures straightness!
    .

    To recap, there are two forces in nature, push and pull. Experience shows that they manifest themselves
    through matter. The force of pull is the only one of the two that can guarantee straightness of the medium
    serving as go-between. We cannot generate straightness with push. If we wish to ensure that a ‘wave’
    propagates rectilinearly while wiggling, we must necessarily postulate inter-connectivity. Only a 'continuous'
    medium guarantees that a wave will travel uninterruptedly. Quantum mathematicians cannot produce pull
    with discrete particles unless they invoke supernatural mechanisms. This explains why the mechanics have
    yet to unify electromagnetism (push) with gravity (pull).

a.        Do one-way waves of light or
streams of photons travel rectilinearly
after leaving the atom? Why? Why
doesn’t light form a large arc in space
as soon as an atom from the Sun emits
the photons?

b.        It is easy to generate standing
waves on a rope that is tied. A better
trick would be for the mathematicians
to simulate standing waves in a lab
without tying the rope. The mechanics
are required to do this because they
assume that an EM wave travels one
way!
Another example of pull are the electric lines of
force on a spherical terminal. They extend radially
and straight because, whatever they are, they are
pulled from another charge.
