Too Much

What do we know?  What can we be absolutely certain of in physics? We need a starting point, and then we need to beat as much information as is possible from that starting point.

Einstein started with the special case - Special Relativity which we find the equations:

t=sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
v=(v1+v2)/1+(v1v2)/c^2

The Lorentz-Fitzgerald equation, the use of FOUR dimensional geometry to describe motion.  The essence of math - the cause and effect relationship.  The result - TIME, MASS, LENGTH is derived from nothing more than VELOCITY and the SPEED OF LIGHT.  WE NEED A NARRATIVE OF THIS EQUATION, WHAT IT MEANS, WHAT THE OPERATIONS MEAN.

I spent 18 months looking for this narrative.  NOBODY provided me with it, I had to come about it on my own.

Let me give an example.  I have a 15 ft. by 15 ft. square room, in this room I have a 12 ft. by 12 ft. rug.  I want to calculate the area of the room that is NOT covered by the rug.  The equation would simply be no more than:

a=1-12^2/15^2

The equations are SIMILAR, this is NOT mere coincidence.

'1' in both equations is representative of 100%, or the whole.  Percentages base on decimals - like batting averages - where 1.0 is 100%.  '1' is 100% of the available spacetime that can be occupied.

v^2 - this is the occupied spacetime.
c^2 - this is the maximum occupation of spacetime.   Just as a two dimensional room cannot contain a rug larger than its length and width, spacetime cannot accommodate a velocity greater than the speed of light.
Square Root - the equation results in TIME.  t= , in geometry, squares are used to add dimensions, square roots are therefore used to REMOVE them.  The square root is used to remove the space dimension and the result is time.

The Lorentz-Fitzgerald equation is finding the UNOCCUPIED amount of spacetime (just as the rug example is finding the unoccupied amount of area), and the result is the relative decrease in the rate of time.

Given that the results also say that MASS increases and LENGTH CONTRACTS, the result is given in % rate of time, therefore IT SHOULD BE CONCLUDED THAT MASS AND LENGTH are derived from TIME.

Not only that....

Because LENGTH is dependent on TIME and TIME is dependent on the occupation of spacetime...  We know that as an object (a spaceship) approaches the speed of light relative to an observer, the observer witnesses the length of the object contract.  A person inside the spaceship will NOT NOTICE ANY CONTRACTION, because the person inside the spaceship is at rest relative to the spaceship.

ALL OF THE ABOVE ESTABLISHES A BASIC RULE-SET FOR OCCUPYING FOUR DIMENSIONAL SPACETIME.

ERGO

It can be ASSUMED a black hole is an object that occupies 100% of the available spacetime.  THUS, an outside observer will witness the black hole as having ZERO size.  If it were at all possible to magically jump inside the black hole, you would see that the black hole actually does have size, its just that 100% of the spacetime is occupied, so TIME DOES NOT PASS - SO LENGTH (or any other measurement of space) IS ZERO.

The logical conclusion of the Lorentz-Fitzgerald equation is a sister equation:

t=sqrt(1-d^2/D^2)
where:
d = density
D = maximum density (similar to the speed of light)

YOU NEED DENSITY.

This equation says NOTHING about gravity.  What it does say is that the universe is FOUR DIMENSIONAL and that the RULES IMPLIED IN SPECIAL RELATIVITY are applicable AS YOU EXTEND FROM calculations of A MERE TWO DIMENSIONS INTO ALL FOUR DIMENSIONS STAY THE SAME.
----------------------

Mass/four dimensions/spactime... it's all very complex.

Mass is a measure of, strictly, the occupation of time.  It's a ONE DIMENSIONAL measurement, this is equivalent to DISTANCE - that is - velocity without TIME.

Think about it like this:
A beam of light can travel for distances that approach infinity.  Just as MASS can approach infinity.  It is not until we restrict DISTANCE by a measure of time that we get velocity, which we then use in the Lorentz-Fitzgerald equation.  MASS unrestrained by distance is no more meaningful than distance unrestricted by time.  Mass constrained by distance results in DENSITY, which gives it meaning to the universe.

This is why, when a person in a spaceship is traveling at a significant fraction of the speed of light, they will disagree on measurements of SPACE or measurements of TIME, but when they do calculations which account for four dimensional spacetime, they all agree.

...

I have, OH SO MUCH MORE to say.  Until EVERYTHING above gains any kind of acceptance, the rest is completely irrelevant.  PLEASE, SOMEONE point out where my logic is flawed so I can fix what is wrong.
