   Imagine two space ships, in a universe empty of everything else.   
   The two ships were flying away from each other, and you had to   
   determine which ship was flying faster.   
      
   Lets say the first rocket ship's computer said it was flying at   
   4,000 MPH.  And the second rocket ship's computer sad that   
   it was flying at 10,000 MPH.   
      
   Would there be any reason to believe this was true just because   
   the computer said so? It would be just as logical to say the first   
   ship was flying at 14,000 MPH and the other was stationary.   
      
   That's why we use light as a constant, to judge the motion of   
   other things.   
      
   However, where did light come from and will it always be here?   
   Without light everything is subjective.   
      
   There are two types of analog clocks. The first stops on every   
   second, and the other is always moving.  What's interesting about   
   that is that our actual experience of time is a mixture of   
   both.   
      
   There is a thought experiment called Schrödinger's cat. It's kind   
   of a good way to illustrate what I call the quantum clock.   
      
   To explain let us decide on our frame of reference. We will use   
   24 hours. For the experiment we will observe a cat for one day,   
   and then put it in a box with a poison dish of milk. We close the   
   box and leave the cat in it for another 24 hours, and then take   
   the cat out again on the third day.   
      
   We know with a great deal of certainty that our cat can't resist   
   the poison dish of milk. However, we have restricted ourselves to   
   observing thus experiment in quantifiable time units.   
      
   This means that while the cat was inside the box it was both alive   
   and dead. Literally.   
      
   This may not just be a thought experiment. After all, how much   
   "time" do we experience in a single moment even right now. Life   
   isn't a chess board to be easily planned out or recorded.   
      
      
   There are forces in physics which are said to be ficticious.   
   These are physically apparent forces that are actually nonexistent.   
   Centrifugal force is an example of a  fictitious force.   
      
   Einstein managed to blur forever the distinction between real and   
   fictitious forces. General relativity is his theory of gravity, and   
   gravity is certainly the paradigmatic example of a "real" force. The   
   cornerstone of Einstein's theory, however, is the proposition that   
   gravity is itself a fictitious force (or, rather, that it is   
   indistinguishable from a fictitious force).   
      
      
   The earth spins clockwise in an easternly direction. So, if a   
   plane flies west it's direction might become curved . That seems   
   logical enough, but it's not always easy to explain fictitious   
   forces.   
      
   What if there was a new dimension we weren't aware of that wouldn't   
   be restricted by the speed of light. It would be made of changes in   
   viewpoints. Like the rotation of an object.   
      
   The rotation of an object cannot be directly compared to the speed   
   of light. If the object is small enough however, it can still rotate   
   at a zillion times a second.   
      
   I would theorizes this rotation exists as a new dimension, capable of   
   influencing the results of Relativity & our understanding of gravity.   
      
      
   Consciousness applied alters time and space. If I did not type   
   this, it would not be here.   
      
   There is a thought experiment in which the speed   
   of light is apparently exceeded. The rotating beam of light from   
   a lighthouse is imagined to be swept from one object to shine on   
   a second object. The farther the two objects are away from the   
   lighthouse, the farther the distance between them crossed by the   
   light beam. If the objects are sufficiently far away from the   
   lighthouse, when the beam hits object 2 it will traverse   
   the object with an apparent speed faster than light, possibly   
   communicating a signal on object 2 with superluminal velocity,   
   which violates Albert Einstein's theory of special   
   relativity.   
      
   Relativity theorizes that time is just an axis on the number line.   
   So what would happen if time were accelerating? The number line   
   would have to itself be able to change!   
      
   We would need to create new dimensions to map the changes in the old   
   dimensions. But this would seem to become a recursive and nested loop   
   that never ends.   
      
   Now here is the idea. If we were to actually slow down time around   
   an object it could create the effect of anti gravity. This is   
   because it would be moving with the earth, but it would be   
   following a slower path through the same space!   
      
   The Wright Brothers discovered a new property of physics called "Lift"   
   in their Dayton Ohio Bicycle Shop. When a bicycle wheel is rotated   
   clockwise and at the same time the wheel is rotated counter clockwise   
   on another axis it will physically try to lift itself in the air.   
      
   This strange property was then exploited by the Wright Brothers to   
   control the flow of air force around a primitive plane to fly!   
      
   What they never would have guessed however was that this gyroscopic   
   effect worked in reverse in the Earth's southern hemisphere. Just like   
   water going down a drain.   
      
   This caused early planes to crash when attempting to circumnavigate the   
   globe, and eventually created the Bermuda Triangle legend. Modern military   
   aircraft are so large and heavy, anti gravity is the only way to explain   
   how they can remain in the air.   
      
   An English professor named Eric Laithwaite lectured on this effect and   
   constructed various experiments that you can watch online.   
      
   This takes us back to the subjective nature of numbers themselves. Does   
   the  word "One" mean anything different than the integer "1"? I wrote a   
   program that  assigns every letter a unique number, so that the letters   
   added together in the  word for any integer total up to the value of that   
   same number. It wouldn't be hard to do this and assign the numbers to add   
   up to a different than expected  value:   
      
   [ E, F, G, H, I, L, N, O, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Z]   
   [-2,-6, 0,-7, 7, 9, 2, 1, 4, 3,10, 5, 6,-9,-4,-3]   
      
   (zero) = (-3 + -2 + 4 + 1)   
      
   (one) = (1 + 2 + -2)   
      
   (two) = (10 + -9 + 1)   
      
   (three) = (10 + -7 + 4 + -2 + -2)   
      
   (four) = (-6 + 1 + 5 + 4)   
      
   (five) = (-6 + 7 + 6 + -2)   
      
   (six) = (3 + 7 + -4)   
      
   (seven) = (3 + -2 + 6 + -2 + 2)   
      
   (eight) = (-2 + 7 + 0 + -7 + 10)   
      
   (nine) = (2 + 7 + 2 + -2)   
      
   (ten) = (10 + -2 + 2)   
      
   Next to prove that we can actually use this system:   
      
   (ten^(two))*three = (10 + -2 + 2)^(10 + -9 + 1)  * (10 + -7 + 4 + -2 + -2)   
      
   (ten^(two))*three = ( 10^2 ) * 3   
      
   (ten^(two))*three = ( 100 ) * 3   
      
   (ten^(two))*three = 300
