Now, that is quite easily proved to be FALSE.

The earth is 25,000 miles in circumference, it makes one revolution a day.

25,000mph/24hrs is over 1,000mph. As you sit there typing you are
traveling over 1,000mph, and so is every cesium clock on earth.

Simply Google "zero-point energy". Here's a quote from
"Alpha and Omega", by Seife. "In the 1930's, though,
quantum physicists discovered, much to their surprise,
that the vacuum isn't ever truly empty. It is seething
with activity, filled to the brim with particles and
energy. ... Empty space is an incredibly complex
substance, and scientists are just beginning to
understand its properties."

http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasc...9/phy99194.htm


Given the reference (a painfully pretentious website with as much
armchair theory offered as in this thread), you must have misspelled
vogue.

The forced argument (a strawman at that) of motion ceasing went out
with fringe topped surries. Now THAT (motion? what motion?) is vague
in the extreme given there are a considerable number of dynamics that
occur at the 0°K atomic scale. Are we suppose that electrons in their
orbits at 1°µK will collapse into the nucleus (permenantly frozen into
inaction) with the final chilling tweak? What a larf!

These akademik arguments only need the added stipulation that you have
to exhibit an absolute zero beer cooler that will hold the temperature

From: http://www.calphysics.org/zpe.html

"Zero-point energy is the energy that remains when all other
energy is removed from a system. This behaviour is demonstrated
by, for example, liquid helium. As the temperature is lowered
to absolute zero, helium remains a liquid, rather than freezing
to a solid, owing to the irremovable zero-point energy of its
atomic motions."

I showed you my references, now you show me yours.

There is a medium that does NOT have Nitrogen, Oxygen, Hydrogen, and noxious
carbon based gases. That medium is not compressed by the effects of gravity. Any
molecules present have very large inter molecule dimensions, maybe even miles.

The medium does have the presence of EM energy in the form of x-rays and gamma
rays [among other more exotic energy forms], it also contains ionizing particles
[neutrons, protons and electrons], it does support gravitational fields, and it
has both a dielectric constant and a permeability. The ratio of dielectric
constant to permeability is approximately 377 ohms.

This medium supports EM radiation from deep space to the local earth. What do
you choose to call it?

Hi Dave,

You have been snookered into answering a complaint manufactured (as
usual) from the misapplication of relationships. The resonance of
Cesium is not a function of time. Time is not a function of Cesium's
resonance (the incorrect correlation drawn, to which you are
responding).

There is no dependency between the two. It is our dependency in our
usage of one to measure the other. The sophism above is much like
saying sound did not exist before someone was close enough to hear the
falling tree. The excitation of gas molecules we call sound existed
long before the appearance of the first amoeba, much less apes in
falling trees. Both sound and time are phenomenological terms for
simple and rational physical processes that exist without dependence
on us.

It's pretty obvious that frequency is a function of time.
Velocity is a function of time. Time is also a function
of velocity. Velocity is a function of length. Length is
also a function of velocity. Go figger.
