Cass,
   Thanks for the Dobson post and comments. You know when I was reading the 
various segments I had the thought that certain dialogues he made in what you 
posted was very familiar to me and it wasn't Astronomical and it tickled me and 
I wondered if Dobson might have been reading over my shoulder lol! At any 
rate I will put a Dobson excerpt that stimulated it all and then links and you 
can make your own comparison.


>>That problem was handled by some ancient physicists whose word for the

Universe was Jagat, The changing. But they were smart enough to see that since

change is seen against the changeless, there must be something underlying the

changing Universe that is not in space and time, and therefore undivided,

infinite, and changeless. There question then was: "How do we see

change?" And they said, "It can only be by mistake." So they

studied mistakes, and they said that if one mistakes a rope for a snake, the

length and diameter of the rope must show in the snake. That is, the 
undivided,

the infinite and the changeless must show in our physics. That might explain

gravity, electricity, and inertia. But why, if we see a duality or a 
plurality,

doesnâ??t the undividedness show through and shut it down? Perhaps it is

because we see an electrical duality within a gravitational plurality, and 
they

keep each other up. This wouldnâ??t be interesting, of course, if it didnâ??t 
show

up this way in our physics, but it does. <<


>>If the changeless didnâ??t show through in our physics, we wouldnâ??t have

inertia. If the infinite didnâ??t show through, we wouldnâ??t have electricity.

And if the undivided didnâ??t show through, we wouldnâ??t have gravity and the

attraction between opposites. Also, if the duality didnâ??t keep up the

plurality, we wouldnâ??t have the atomic table. And if the plurality didnâ??t

keep up the duality, we wouldnâ??t have atoms at all. Thatâ??s how I see it.<<
