Thanks for the comments.
Let me try one more time to explain what I think about time dilation. I believe that if we try to measure how fast time is passing in a reference that is moving very fast with respect to our reference frame, we will get a different answer than someone measuring how fast time is passing in the fast moving reference frame. What I also believe is that time is absolute and passes at the same speed everywhere in our Universe. In other words we could measure how much time has passed since the Big Bang, we would all get the same answer. I read somewhere that the Big Bang occurred 13.72 billion years ago and that the number was accurate to 4 decimal places. I understand some galaxies are moving away from us very fast maybe at speeds close to the speed of light. Would the people in those galaxies make the same estimate as we do? If so that would indicate to me that the passage of time is the same everywhere in our Universe. I also concede that atomic clocks run at different speeds in fast moving satellites than they do on earth. There may be some explanation for the discrepancy other than that time is actually passing faster or slower in the satellites. For example my understanding is that atomic clocks are based on the frequency of light emitted from certain atomic transitions. Maybe the frequency changes at very high relative speeds or at different gravitational forces or different radial acceleration or there could be other answers. In any case, I realize I could be wrong.

At that point it starts to sound like the "argument from incredulity" - "I just can't believe that such a weird thing could happen!" or words to that effect. Which is an argument that modern science has discredited many times ("I can't beleive the Earth orbits the Sun!" - "I can't believe humans descended from apes!" - etc) I would recommend continuing to use it in the first, uncontentious sense, where it's merely a qualifier, but being more careful how you phrase things when you're making what most people consider a outrageous claim.

So the number of electrons outside of protons is equal to the number of positrons outside of protons plus half of the number of positrons inside protons. I think I did that right. My point is that the missing positrons are the extra positrons in the protons. You asked why aren’t there an equal number of positrons and anti-protons. An anti-proton is comprised of two electrons plus a high energy positron that has captured a neutrino entron with a mass of 1.65 X 10-27 kg, exactly opposite the proton. Therefore, each anti-proton created removes two electrons but only one positron from the population of electrons and positrons . So there may be an equal number of positrons and anti-protons. This is a very good question. I’ll have to think about it some more. That is indeed the $64,000 question! What I am fairly certain of (I would normally say “believe”) is that the number of electrons and positrons in our Universe is equal, but some of each are contained in protons and anti-protons. The number of plus and minus tronnies in our Universe is also equal. The number of protons and anti-protons are not equal. Yes, which is what I was hoping you'd be able to explain - if you can, that will (I believe :-) put you one up on existing theories. In Black Holes there is a relatively large number of free positrons and a large number of neutrino entrons due to the destruction of protons in the Black Holes. There is also a large number of free electrons. Therefore in Black Holes you have all you need to make anti-protons, So large numbers of anti-protons are made in Black Holes. So after they are made, they combine with a proton and both the proton and the anti-proton are destroyed releasing all of the electrons and positrons in both particles. Two neutrino entrons are also released. Most of these neutrino entrons are released from the Black Hole to produce the gravity of its galaxy. Some combine with electrons and positrons to produce either protons or anti-protons. Each anti-proton produced will result in the destruction of another proton and anti-proton. I calculate that if the Black Hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy consumes the equivalent of an earth-size planet per day the resulting neutrino photon flux at our earth would be about 68,000 neutrino photons/m2 second. See Chapter XX. I'm not sure about any of that. I think dealing with the symmetry question might help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
