Dewey B. Larson and RST

[3D Sunset]

I thought of it because until just now I couldn't explain number one.

Hello Phoenix. In looking over the list, I think there are a few of the five that RST can help elucidate. My real interest in exploring RST on this forum, is to provide a foundation in RST that we can use to explore Mr. Larson's metaphysical views based upon RST, which he wrote in the book "Beyond Space and Time". FYI, here is a link to an online version of the book, but it does assume a moderate background in RST.

It is my hope to find enough interested people to lay the foundation in RST and then discuss this book in light of the LOO.

Another thing I was thinking is, what if instead of saying they don't come from zero, we just re-defined zero? I mean, what is Nothing, anyway? Seems like the only thing you could call Nothing is no-thing, or rather a lack of any thing-ness, or a formless infinite singularity. The equation I've made up to represent this is 0 = ∞ = 1. I just intuitively was drawn to such a concept, I don't know if I'm on the right track in relation to RST at all. Kinda sounds similar, though.

Welcome MisterRabbit, I appreciate your input. What Lasron in the RST calls "unity" is motion at unit velocity (one unit of space per unit of time). This is a critical numerical value (1) because both space and time exist in the denominator portion in the reciprocal formulas. Thus mathematically, it is important that "no change from the nominal movement" be represented as 1, so as to avoid division by zero if the "status quo" were zero. This may seem like a convenient designation by Mr. Larson, but by doing so, he actually resolves a nagging paradox in Einstein's General Theory of Relativity (that being the "Twin Paradox"... more on this in a later post).

This relationship between space/time and time/space also gives us a fascinating insight into the relationship between these areas referred to throughout the LOO. Namely, that the two regions are directly associated almost as opposite sides of a coin. I'll explore this more in a future post as well, but observe that just by examining the equations, one can see that for two objects to move closer in space, they must actually move farther apart in time, and vice versa.

Sorry that I have not posted more frequently. I'm fairly busy with work right now, but I remain committed to this forum. On a side note, I encourage all of you to explore RST independently, as I am far from an expert on this material, and will likely gloss over some important parts to move things forward. In truth, I consider myself best qualified to act as learn/teacher of this material, but will do my best nonetheless.

Love and Light,
