Relatively Absolute

“Light travels at the same speed in every direction, by definition.

Albert Einstein

We can all laugh at something as strange as any of this. Einstein emphasized by definition in 1905 because time and light change constantly. Light is always relative. The observed world of light and philosophy demonstrate the biggest mysteries in history, and he was certain of one particular thing. You cannot measure light in both directions. We get no few seconds to make that final dash to bed before the light completely fades. We certainly know and completely understand that light travels 299,792,458 meters per second, but we cannot truly measure it. The speed of light is enormously complicated, rigid, and mostly theoretical in analysis. Altering it becomes essential in all proposed forms of creation, even those that dismiss a Creator. The second Edwin Hubble era has changed almost everything we expected to discover.

With straight faces, the conventional Big Bangers explain that light traveled at its native speed throughout 13.8 billion years, but back in The Beginning, existence itself was growing faster than the speed of light. (They used to say light was faster then. But they now know.) We can “see” 47.8 billion light-years (distance) into the 13.8-billion years (time) of history. And we can see it with extreme clarity and miniscule distortion along its entire expansion. 13.8 billion years is due for expansion, even before the next level of telescope.

New information has collapsed many of the theories that preceded it. Conventional cosmology’s newest version is, “God spoke the world into being,” except they claim nobody spoke. Nobody did anything. In other words, in the beginning, the sudden presence of matter caused expansion of existence faster than light. Enormous levels of completion appeared almost spontaneously, and phenomenal light. By light, traditional cosmology focuses largely on heat, while Genesis focuses on visible light, but energy either way.

The atheistic and agnostic primary argument against divine creation will always be time. “It looks a lot older than it really is,” sounds perfectly lame. It looks its age, with no other age to compare it. And it is. While that pales compared to 6 thousand years, it has plenty of other problems. How can light shine for 13.8 billion years without interference or degradation along the way? And none of the characteristics of light are as absolute as they should be. Light has been slowed in a vacuum — only by a few meters per second, but slowed. Now we know, too, that clouds of frozen atoms can stop light, “freezing” it in space. In other words, “we now know seems to be able to violate the laws of relativity into an oxymoron, making them relative laws, or suggestions.

Absolutism only exists at one precise level of reality. God is the Ultimate Reality. Atheistically speaking, Ultimate Reality is the only Absolute.

Like gravity, we just don’t know enough about light. Or time. Or space. How do you test light’s expansion in time, with both light and time serving as variables within the variable space of the Infinite Absolute?

Far from answering questions, I am amazed that so few people ask such questions. There are fantastic obstacles standing in the way of knowledge, logic, and wisdom. One side asks for faith in an inconceivable amount of time, but so does the other. One side asks for obedience to its ever-changing and impossibly increasing framework of obscurities, while another asks for strict adherence to a completely different set of acknowledged realities. Which is which depends on you, but the point is, what you know is mathematically impossible. That seems to be true no matter what you believe.
