When I stated that distance, differences in distance, changing distances, a two universe of spacetime setup, matters to time and timing, I was informed I was spouting nonsensical gibberish pseudoscience:
To make sure I'm being understood in my different modeling of open (non-enclosed) system, accelerating in expansion seemingly faster than the speed light, and closed (enclosed) system than Hawking, that Hawking either didn't think to address or just didn't see to address, I will state here (that I have it being) there is an absolute difference between open (opening) system and closed (closing) system, and no ceiling barrier, and a ceiling barrier, existing to the constant of the speed of light in a vacuum.
Now I directly quote from 'A Brief History of Time', by that famed scientist Stephen Hawking:
".... As an object approaches the speed of light (to me, Atlan0001, in an enclosed system, not open / opening systemic, such as the LHC or any locally relative 4-dimensional volume of spacetime, here-in inertially entropic (which I must inform the audience I'm informed is nonsensical gibberish pseudoscience)), its mass rises ever more quickly, so it takes more and more energy to speed it up further. It can in fact never reach the speed of light, because by then its mass would have become infinite, and by the equivalence of mass and energy, it would have taken an infinite amount of energy to get there. For this reason, any normal object is forever confined by relativity (by relativity! my emphasis) to move at speeds slower than the speed of light. Only light, or other waves that have no intrinsic mass (my addition: everything in a holographic universe (a hologram)), can move at the speed of light.
(Again no address, whatsoever, of any difference between open (opening and accelerating in expansion (said to be possibly, probably, faster than the speed of light)) and closed (enclosed or closing inertially entropic) systems and observations from!) "An equally remarkable consequence of relativity" (invariably of 'relativity'! (again my emphasis)) "is the way it has revolutionized our ideas of space and time. In Newton's theory..." (here I skip over) "In relativity, on the other hand, all observers must agree on fast light travels. They, still, however, do not agree on the distance the light has traveled, so they must therefore now also disagree over the time taken. (The time taken is the distance the light has traveled--which the observers do not agree on--divided by the light's speed--which they do agree on. In other words, the theory of relativity put an end to the idea of absolute time (my addition not included by Hawking: in observed and observable holographical universes (in holograms))! It appeared each observer must have his own measure of time, as recorded by a clock carried with him, and that identical clocks carried by different observers would not necessarily agree."
Now here goes, from Hawking continuing in 'A Brief History of Time', what I was informed was nonsensical gibberish pseudoscience, when I extended it up to there and back again light signals crossings of great 4-dimensional volumes of spacetime: "Each observer could use radar to say where and when an event took place by sending out a pulse of light or radio waves. Part of the pulse is reflected back at the event and the observer measures the time at which he receives the echo (my emphasis). The time of the event is then said to be the time halfway between when the pulse was sent and the time when the reflection was received back: the distance of the event is half the time taken for this round trip, multiplied by the speed of light." ("Communication across the revolutionary divide is inevitably partial." -- Thomas S. Kuhn) Continuing Hawking: "(An event, in this sense, is something that takes place at a single point in space (my addition: 0-point dimensional!), at a specified point in time (my addition: zeroed (0'd) to time....).)"
Is it all "nonsensical gibberish pseudoscience" as some here have termed it when I presented Hawking's independently paralleling description as I see it to be on a larger stage of universes?! The interruptions above are, of course, mine for my interpretations of the data.
**The most important and imperative thing, though, is Hawking's not addressing, at all, the non-inertial, non-entropic, open system versus the inertially entropic closed system!** It makes all the difference!
