recognized immediately, because it comes from a perception that excludes the use of « our eyes to see > the world. Classical physicists are least likely to understand reality because they have been trained according to the principles of geometry, which is several thousands of years old, whereas chronometry is millions of years older. At best, we can draw some interesting and even indispen- sable parallels between time and space. However, the content of a box (time) is not the same as the box itself (space), just as the frequency of a radio station is not indicative of what the DJ says in the microphone. We can line up all the equations in the world, but they will tell us only what our consciousness sees when it accesses their meaning. The world is subject to the individual. So let us ignore fanatical skeptics. Not feeling is a handicap instead of a sign of realism. Let us not pity those who feel, but those who do not feel. Scientists increasingly see the universe as a superposition of STs, i.e., layers of fractal systems (self-similarity of a form due to the scale change), where space and time have specific values, and not as a single great whole called ST, in which space and time are relative as Einstein believed.” This is the study of the new discipline of quantum cosmology. In general relativity, it is not the mass that increases along with velocity, but the inertia. We have been speaking of inertial reference frames ever since Galileo. The apparent increase of mass is caused by a geometrical effect. Mass seems to increase, but actually remains con- stant. In absolute relativity, mass is determined by the ST. It does not have any meaning as such, because it only produces effects as a result of a geometrical change. As a consequence, velocity does not behave as the resultant of Minkowski space-time, as general relativity dictates, but as the resultant of a geometrical rotation compared to the ST from which it is observed. The application of a force aimed at increasing the speed of an object gradually diminishes the axis of motion as the object picks up speed. Imagine you push a train car to make it accelerate. Our direction remains constant, but that of the car changes. You start to push it along the rail axis, but as it picks up speed, you will be forced to push it to the side at a simultaneously increasing angle. Once it reaches approximately ninety degrees, it will require a tremendous amount of energy to gain a few millimeters per second. This is the meaning of the required infinite energy of which general relativity speaks as light speed is approached. However, in absolute relativity — unlike general relativity where the force is applied from the perspective of a specific ST — both the source ST (the one that pushes the train car) and the ST that receives Shedding new light on science 253
