Absolute time and the aether return

"Ripping Apart Einstein --Cutting the threads of the spacetime fabric and reinstating the aether could lead to a theory of quantum gravity. If there’s one thing Einstein taught us, it’s that time is relative. But physicist Petr Hořava [UC Berkeley] is challenging this notion and tearing through the fabric of spacetime in his quest for a theory of quantum gravity. His work may also resurrect another entity that Einstein had seemingly buried—the aether."

It seems that we may need Newton and Einstein to explain gravity.

Fascinating. thanks.

As the fabric of spacetime rips, space and time start to stretch at different rates. The stronger constraints on short distance spatial variations mean that space now stretches only a third as quickly as time, effectively reducing the familiar three spatial dimensions into just one.

Using common sense, we can easily understand there is an absolute time frame. For example, as we speak, an asteroid crashed on the star Beteulgause. The idea that events may be observed in any order depending on reference frame does not agree with reality at all. It's only the math that requires such a thing.
They say that the theory of General Relativity prohibits FTL transmission of information. But, at the same time, it allows the Big Bang, which is FTL! One day Einstein will be proven wrong, and that would be the day that modern physics will exit the current trap.

Interesting article. Haramein may be a step ahead of the guy:

Chosen by a panel of 11 peer reviewers, Haramein's paper won the prestigious "Best Paper Award" in the field of “Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Field Theory, and Gravitation.” This significant paper marks a new paradigm in the world of quantum theory, as it describes the nuclei of an atom as a mini black hole, where protons are attracted to each other by gravitation rather than some mysterious undefined “strong force.” This radical new view of the quantum world produces a unification of the forces and appropriately predicts measured values for the nucleon of atoms.

And Zero Point Energy has already proved that there is no such thing as a vacuum, so therefore light and EM waves do NOT travel through a vacuum. That is what was supposed to differentiate them from other things like sound.

Cool article, star and flag.

That's a classical theory whereas this is quantum -- the foundation of physics is quantum not classical. Not that I think either one is "correct."

A throw back to the Tesla age perhaps.
The 'quantum gravity' sounds interesting as the quantum was originally a voltage jump of
the electron in the atom which mean an electrical interaction and not gravity.
The quantum jump made light emissions from the atom Tesla said were not EM as the
official wave equation solution was said to be EM in our professed science.
Tesla made jumps that were voltage pulses and thats where his forces came from.
Electricity can make physical force.
Force is associated with gravity.
I don't think Tesla pulses have anything to do with jumps of quantum but you will find
force the same as gravity.
