[Alan Grayson] "What I've asserted is that if General Relativity is correct then the negative gravitational potential energy plus the positive mass/energy that comes from rest mass, photons, neutrinos, kinetic motion, and all other well-known sources of energy must sum to zero". [Philip Benjamin] Granted, this is all true, what is the source of rest mass of photons or Higgs Boson or of positivity and negativity? These are all dead matter, how and why or where do their "consciousness" (or life arise)? Something ought to have aseity here, if so what is a more reasonable candidate- Life that produces dead matter as well as other forms of life or Dead Matter generating LIFE? Philip Benjamin

Two particles have zero gravitational potential energy only if they are infinitely far apart, at any other finite distance it's negative. I've asked you to refrain from truncating my comments. By doing so in this case, you've distorted my meaning. AG What I've asserted is that if General Relativity is correct then the negative gravitational potential energy plus the positive mass/energy that comes from rest mass, photons, neutrinos, kinetic motion, and all other well-known sources of energy must sum to zero. Well, I thought you had a principled argument, not just a claim. AG . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
