The Key to Quantum Gravity May Lie in the Æther.




Expect the TIMECUBE crazies and the anti-science types who think that the Big Bang is part of "Darwinism" to jump all over this, shrieking, "See? Einstein was wrong!" and insulting the intelligence of everyone who doesn't immediately see that this proves their own particular brand of blather.

I can see how it would be useful to have an absolute and a relative model for examining time, because if you're thinking about changes due to gravity, distance and velocity, especially near a starting point, that sounds really very fluid - and in that sense, absolute would be equivalent to laminar flow and relative to turbulent flow.
