Does Flowing Space Reform Relativity? - Dr. Henry Lindner, DemystifySci +422

from The DemystifySci Podcast · host DemystifySci

Henry Lindner walks into the cathedral of general relativity and asks why no one can hear the pipes, flowing space as reformation of Einstein's gravity, where the medium returns and the math bows down to something almost physical, almost true. We trace the long exile of substance from physics, from Newton's absolute space through the ether wars to Mach's ghost whispering in Einstein's ear that nothing real needs to exist at all. But a simplification is not an explanation, and gravity still has no mechanism, no cause, no beating heart beneath the geometry, only equations where a theory should be. This is the Keplerian step: cleaner orbits, better math, and the Darwinian question still howling unanswered in the dark.Flowing Space: https://henrylindner.net/FlowingSpace2024wide.pdfPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go! 00:03:24 — Newton's Absolute Space and the Ether00:13:26 — Berkeley, Mach, and the Rejection of Physical Substance00:31:01 — Institutions, Ideology, and the Shaping of Physics00:47:31 — Einstein's 1905 Revolution: Removing the Medium00:57:33 — The Twin Paradox and Special Relativity's Loose Ends01:20:20 — GPS and the Case for a Preferred Frame01:24:46 — General Relativity and the Equivalence Principle01:29:06 — Flowing Space: A Mathematical Refinement of Gravity01:47:36 — Where's the Mechanism?
