Elastic strings extend a limited distance in space

The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
The ditty for Unk continues…

Uncle Virgil was eighty one
But his muscles were firm as stone,
Tossed hard rocks most of his life
Seeking treasures from the earth below.

The old man wanted to kill the buck
Before he was laid in the ground.
But Muley was faster by far, and
He thundered off with a giant bound.

To be continued….

Astrophysicists conclude that a cluster of galaxies under their own internal gravity spans some 10 to 20 million light years, but not beyond that point. This means gravitons extend a great distance into space, but the distance is limited just as you would expect for a string that has mass.

One light year is the distance light can travel in one year at 300,000,000 meters per second, which means light travels 9,400,000,000,000,000 meters per year. Those galaxies that lie outside 10 to 20 million light years are not affected by our gravitational force field. Thus the Andromeda Galaxy some 2.5 million light years away is part of our local cluster of galaxies bound together by a common force of gravity; however, the Virgo Galaxy some 60 million light years away is not bound to us by gravitational force. This is not surprising if gravitation is caused by elastic strings that have mass and can only extend into space a finite distance. I ask you this: If gravitation is explained by a four dimensional world, where space and time are warped, as proposed by Einstein, how do you explain a finite length for gravitational fields? However, in the same sense of mystery, how is it possible for a particle too small to be imagined stretch 10 to 20 million light years? Perhaps you will be surprised when I discuss this in my next blog. Kelland—www.vestheory.com
