Of Time and Tide: (An Alternative View of the Universe) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781478722885)

OF TIME AND TIDE (An Alternative View of the Universe) This work is an attempt to explain clearly two aspects of Einstein's Relativity: time and gravity. Further, to consider the mechanics of gravity and the implications to our understanding of this universe. To succeed in understanding time, you and I must first take a brief look into our own psychology and realized that being evolved of this earth our concept of time is formed by the consistency of the earth's movement both daily and annually as well as our psychological disposition that places us in the prime position. With simple logic we show how easy it is to understand what often seems confusing: the relativity of time. We reach an understanding that time is always relative; it is only our psychology and the constancy of our travels through space-time that causes our misconception. We then move on to gravity, talking briefly about that concept's origin. In the Geocentric Universe there was never a question of gravity, the earth was the center of everything, up was up, down was down and everyone knew the difference. It was only as the concept of the Heliocentric Universe began to emerge that the concept of gravity was needed to explain why planets orbited the sun instead of flying off into space. The brilliant Isaac Newton formulated the mathematics for this force called gravity which was logically assumed to be an attraction between masses. The attractive force of gravity was unchallenged until the advent of Albert Einstein and his Theory of Relativity in the early years of the twentieth century. Einstein proposed that planets were actually falling in a straight line through space-time, but that the massive sun curved space-time so the planets orbited around it. What we call gravity in our daily physical activities is actually space-time pushing against the earth. While both concepts are taught, Newton's pull theory of gravity still dominates scientific thinking and theories. We point out experiments
