Light's Illusion Bites the Dust: 11,176,920 miles per hour = SLOW

  September 2011 showed me a great victory for truth over illusion - The Speed of Light being the focal point.  It started around mid-month when I saw a show on the Science Channel dealing with Black Holes and the fundamental breakdowns in Einstein's equations when applied to them.  Neither traditional Physics nor Quantum Mechanics can explain what happens inside a Black Hole past the event horizon and all known formulas for calculating this mystery end up delivering results like "infinity" or "infinity to the power of infinity" (aka bullshit).  Further, I learned (for the first time) that Black Holes suck in matter (Including Light) faster than the speed of light.  Now I'm no Astro-Physicist, but if light can be sucked into the blackness faster than the speed of light then how is light the fastest thing in the Universe?  Even light can be forced to move faster than the speed of light!  When simple truths require simple discovery, scientists tend to get abstract and make things complicated.  They have developed a "catch all phrase" for the point where the equations break down and creation no longer applies called: "The Singularity".  To them, this is a point in space with infinite mass, and infinite gravity which occupies an infinitely small space (aka a Black Hole).  All we know falls apart at this point and to me this is where creation stops working and you must go beyond creation to ask the next question.  I thought this article on Black Holes had a ring of truth and showcases a possibility that may soon become common knowledge:

Every black hole may hold a hidden universe:  We could be living inside a black hole. This head-spinning idea is one cosmologist's conclusion based on a modification of Einstein's equations of general relativity that changes our picture of what happens at the core of a black hole.  In an analysis of the motion of particles entering a black hole, published in March, Nikodem Poplawski of Indiana University in Bloomington showed that inside each black hole there could exist another universe (Physics Letters B, DOI: 10.1016/j.physletb.2010.03.029). "Maybe the huge black holes at the center of the Milky Way and other galaxies are bridges to different universes," Poplawski says. If that is correct - and it's a big "if" - there is nothing to rule out our universe itself being inside a black hole.  In Einstein's general relativity (GR), the insides of black holes are "singularities" - regions where the density of matter reaches infinity. Whether the singularity is an actual point of infinite density or just a mathematical inadequacy of GR is unclear, as the equations of GR break down inside black holes. Either way, the modified version of Einstein's equations used by Poplawski does away with the singularity altogether.  For his analysis, Poplawski turned to a variant of GR called the Einstein-Cartan-Kibble-Sciama (ECKS) theory of gravity. Unlike Einstein's equations, ECKS gravity takes account of the spin or angular momentum of elementary particles. Including the spin of matter makes it possible to calculate a property of the geometry of space-time called torsion.  When the density of matter reaches gargantuan proportions (more than about 1050 kilograms per cubic meter) inside a black hole, torsion manifests itself as a force that counters gravity. This prevents matter compressing indefinitely to reach infinite density, so there is no singularity. Instead, says Poplawski, matter rebounds and starts expanding again.  Now, in what is sure to be a controversial study, Poplawski has applied these ideas to model the behavior of space-time inside a black hole the instant it starts rebounding (arxiv.org/abs/1007.0587). The scenario resembles what happens when you compress a spring: Poplawski has calculated that gravity initially overcomes torsion's repulsive force and keeps compressing matter, but eventually the repulsive force gets so strong that the matter stops collapsing and rebounds. Poplawski's calculations show that space-time inside the black hole expands to about 1.4 times its smallest size in as little as 10-46 seconds.  This staggeringly fast bounce-back, says Poplawski, could have been what led to the expanding universe we observe today.  How would we know if we are living inside a black hole? Well, a spinning black hole would have imparted some spin to the space-time inside it, and this should show up as a "preferred direction" in our universe, says Poplawski. Such a preferred direction would result in the violation of a property of space-time called Lorentz symmetry, which links space and time. It has been suggested that such a violation could be responsible for the observed oscillations of neutrinos from one type to another (Physical Review D, DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.74.105009).  If we are living inside a black hole, it would have imparted a 'special direction' to our universe.  Sadly, there is no point in us looking for other universes inside black holes. As you approach a black hole, the increasing gravitational field makes time tick slower and slower. So, for an external observer, any new universe inside would form only after an infinite amount of time had elapsed.

  Something changed deep inside me when I finally realized the speed of light was an illusion and looked into Black Holes a bit.  My head had "thought" most of this before, but now my heart KNOWS it (that's a BIG difference).  Then came the BIG ONE.  3 Days after I had some of this awareness the speed of light officially fell as scientists at CERN (the worlds largest physics lab) shot a Neutrino (a tiny particle) faster than the speed of light (186,282 miles per second).  The timing of these events was unbelievable to me.  Its like I had the thought one day and the whole house of cards started tumbling down the next.  If this achievement holds that means Einstein is incorrect in all he knew, science is incorrect across the board in current times, and religion is on shaky ground.  Either way, there are some crazy new questions to be asked.  Here is one of many thousands of articles on the speed of light falling:

Speed of light 'broken' at CERN, scientists claim: It was Albert Einstein, no less, who proposed more than 100 years ago that nothing could travel faster than the speed of light. But last night it emerged that the man who laid the foundations for the laws of nature may have been wrong.  The science world was left in shock when workers at the world’s largest physics lab announced they had recorded subatomic particles travelling faster than the speed of light. If the findings are proven to be accurate, they would overturn one of the pillars of the Standard Model of physics, which explains the way the universe and everything within it works.  Einstein’s theory of special relativity, proposed in 1905, states that nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. But researchers at the CERN lab near Geneva claim they have recorded neutrinos, a type of tiny particle, travelling faster than the barrier of 186,282 miles (299,792 kilometers) per second.  The results have so astounded researchers that American and Japanese scientists have been asked to verify the results before they are confirmed as a discovery.  Antonio Ereditato, spokesman for the researchers, said: “We have high confidence in our results. We have checked and rechecked for anything that could have distorted our measurements but we found nothing.”  Scientists agree if the results are confirmed, that it would force a fundamental rethink of the laws of physics.  John Ellis, a theoretical physicist, said Einstein’s theory underlies “pretty much everything in modern physics”.

  I put this out there to make sure anyone that knows me knows this.  I feel a great honor to know the man that brought this discovery about and is working with us on the steep transition.  The scale of his achievements are simply incomprehensible to me.  We saw that when the "unbreakable" Speed of Sound was shattered mid-century it delivered a shock to the consciousness of all.  That was 700 miles an hour.  This is 11,176,920 miles an hour.  I feel that jump is symbolic of the "Rate of Change" creation is facing right now as this current manifestation winds down and becomes re-born.  In these times of expanding truth I see that no illusion is safe and everything will be questioned.  I am proud to  have front row seats as these life mysteries unfold!
