YES. That's the very point I'm making, although more precisely this energy resides in the inversely logarithmic relationship between gravity and time. In fact this principle is already very well understood in conventional physics where the gravitational potential energy of the cosmos is precisely equivalent to its kinetic or "free" energy. However since quantum field theory ignores gravity altogether, this gravitational potential energy goes by a different name. The mathematicians manage to confuse everybody by instead calling it the "vacuum energy of empty space". Jesus wept!!uwot wrote: So is this energy gravity?
Risto. A useful distinction between mathematics and philosophy, thank you. The same distinction also applies between mathematics and science so physics is not in fact a science at all. It is a branch of applied mathematics which is only able to model a narrative of the universe which must first be specified in advance. This is an inherently tautologous methodology because the mathematical representations thus devised can make no statements whatsoever about the truth value of the original pre-determined narrative. The example I often use is the geo-centric cosmology of Ptolemy. This obsolete model is just as mathematically valid today as it was for the the 1400 years before the heliocentric model displaced it. In fact all of modern cosmology and astrophysics could proceed unhindered on the assumption that the earth lies at the centre of the solar system. The only difference is that that the mathematics would be fiendishly more complicated so the Copernican model is simply preferred on the grounds of Occam economy.
