A Concise Argument for an Absolute Universe
Written on
Chapter 1: Understanding Absolute and Relative
In this discussion, we revisit the concept of an absolute universe, which we believe warrants its own exploration. The argument centers on the assertion that relativists' claims about the non-existence of an absolute frame of reference are fundamentally flawed and can be easily disproven. The implications of this misconception on our comprehension of the universe are profound.
The Simple Proof: Newton’s Perspective
Isaac Newton advocated for the idea of an absolute universe, particularly emphasizing the notion of absolute positions within an absolute space. While it remains somewhat ambiguous whether Newton viewed this absolute space as a tangible entity or an abstract concept, he maintained that the absolute exists independently, whereas the relative depends on external factors. In his pivotal work, "Principia," Newton posited that the absolute is “without regard to anything external.”
Despite the criticism directed at Newton's assertion of an absolute universe, we contend that it remains a logical position that his detractors have failed to comprehend adequately.
The concepts of absolute and relative can be likened to the dichotomy of left and right; each concept is defined in relation to the other. It is misleading and erroneous to assert, as relativists do, that only relative positions are valid. Such claims obscure significant physical principles and introduce a paradox: if all positions are relative, then every position ultimately becomes relative to itself.
This leads to an unacceptable self-reference, which is inadmissible in both logic and science. The endurance of relativity in the physics community invites scrutiny from future historians and psychologists alike.
Further Arguments for the Existence of the Absolute
The argument for the existence of the absolute doesn't end here. Other lines of reasoning, including the one presented in our previous article regarding the non-existence of space, support this claim. If space does not exist, then the position of a particle cannot be attributed to a non-existent space but is rather an inherent property of the particle itself. Thus, it is absolute by its very nature, similar to how an object’s position is defined in a video game.
Chapter 2: Addressing Common Counterarguments
The first video discusses fundamental patterns that explain the universe, providing insights into the conceptual framework surrounding absolute and relative positions.
Most relativists counter our claims by asserting that no absolute frame of reference has ever been observed. We respond: does this truly matter? If a consensus exists that such a frame does not exist, then naturally, no serious attempts will be made to identify it. Critics often reference the Michelson-Morley experiment, which sought the luminiferous ether—a medium believed to be essential for light wave propagation—rather than an absolute frame of reference.
It is crucial to note that these counterarguments do not effectively refute our proof; they serve merely as minor distractions.
The second video elaborates on proof by cases, reinforcing the importance of logical consistency in scientific discourse.
