The SEC theory provides a simple solution to this dilemma, predicted. But these models can be no better than the "material" since it allows quantum mechanics to be derived from general we use to build them with, this "material" being known and relativity. accepted epistemology. The key to understanding what is going on is the incremental From our past experience it is clear that the old models of the scale expansion of the SEC theory. universe were inadequate simply because people did not know Scale expansion means that the length of a fixed distance like enough, and this also applies today. Any model we can a metre slowly expands and that the pace of time slowly conceive of is bound to be incomplete or perhaps even wrong; decreases. If this were a continuous process we would not we simply do not know enough yet, and we will never know notice it locally, but according to the SEC theory it is an everything. incremental process. The scale expands a tiny bit and then we The only thing we can hope for is a model that makes sense to "jump into" the new scale by a discrete step. Like a child who us with our current level of understanding. A good model repeatedly grows out of her clothes should agree with observations and and gets them replaced by new, e internally consistent.

Ancient people perceived matter" or "dark energy", and observations agree with the SEC the universe as filled with mythological creatures. We know model's prediction without the need for speculation on more now, but we still must use familiar concepts to describe decelerating expansion or accelerating expansion or on the cosmos. Science tries to explain Nature by constructing evolution. Furthermore, this new model explains what causes models from which various features may be portrayed and the progression of time and why there is a quantum world. oo Author's Acknowledgements: Theory III — Gravitation", Apeiron, October About the Author: | would like to thank Richard Moody, 2004 Dr Johan Masreliez lives in Redmond, Jr, for suggesting that I have this essay * Masreliez CJ.
