What about this Final Theory thing?

In summary, the conversation is about a book by Mark McCutheson proposing the idea that gravity is the result of the Earth and the universe expanding, and that only mechanical means can overcome this force. The speaker is wondering about the implications of this theory, particularly in relation to the Moon's orbit. A link is provided for more information on the topic.

What about this Final Theory thing??

Hi all,

Just was wondering about what you all thought of Mark McCutheson's (sp) book and this expanding universe. That gavity is really the result of, for us here, the Earth expanding as is the whole universe. That to over come "gravity" we must use mechanical means, ie, thrust. Of course we cannot sense this expansion. I have not come to the part about how the heck the Moon stays in orbit with this expansion idea. Any thoughts would be great.

I started to answer with a basic response about the relative difference between gravity and expansion. The statement "That gavity is really the result of, for us here, the Earth expanding as is the whole universe." stopped me so I checked to see what Mark McCutheson was really about.

Here is a link giving the basics along with correspondence with one of his readers. The reader expressed some very legitimate problems. This is not a link to anything belonging to Mark McCutheson. This individuals expose says more than you can resonable expect here.

Hi Randy,

Thanks for bringing up the topic of the Final Theory. It's definitely an interesting concept and one that has sparked a lot of debate and discussion in the scientific community. For those who are not familiar with it, the Final Theory is a book written by Mark McCutcheon that proposes a new theory of gravity and the expanding universe.

According to McCutcheon, gravity is not a fundamental force but rather a result of the Earth and the entire universe expanding. He suggests that in order to overcome this "gravity," we must use mechanical means such as thrust. This idea challenges the traditional understanding of gravity and has raised questions about how other phenomena, like the Moon's orbit, fit into this theory.

Personally, I find the idea of an expanding universe and a different explanation for gravity intriguing. However, as with any new theory, it is important to approach it with a critical and open mind. I haven't read McCutcheon's book yet, but I think it's worth considering and discussing his ideas further. What do others think about this Final Theory? Do you have any thoughts on how the Moon's orbit could fit into this concept? Let's keep the conversation going.


 

FAQ: What about this Final Theory thing?

What is the Final Theory?

The Final Theory, also known as the Theory of Everything, is a hypothetical concept in physics that aims to explain all physical phenomena in the universe with a single, unified framework.

Why is the Final Theory important?

The Final Theory is important because it would allow us to have a complete understanding of the fundamental laws that govern the behavior of the universe. This could lead to advancements in technology, medicine, and our understanding of the world around us.

Has the Final Theory been proven?

No, the Final Theory has not been proven. It is still a theoretical concept and has yet to be fully developed or tested. Scientists are currently working on various theories and models, but there is no consensus on a single final theory.

What is the difference between the Final Theory and the Theory of Everything?

The Final Theory and the Theory of Everything are often used interchangeably, but some scientists argue that there is a subtle difference. The Final Theory aims to explain all physical phenomena in the universe, while the Theory of Everything also includes a unification of all forces of nature.

How close are we to discovering the Final Theory?

It is difficult to say how close we are to discovering the Final Theory. While scientists have made significant progress in understanding the fundamental laws of the universe, there is still much research and experimentation to be done. It is possible that the Final Theory may never be fully discovered, as new discoveries and advancements in technology may continue to challenge and expand our understanding of the universe.
