On Quantum Anti-Gravity and Other Possible Odd Effects In the Universe.

[Peter Lemkin]

That gets into rather strange territory, perhaps beyond the remit of this Forum. Einstein and others have convincingly shown that time is just another dimension of space-time and in most or perhaps all ways equal to spacial dimensions which we perceive as different than time. Again, it gets complex [more so when some physicists think there are more than four dimensions]; but I'd say that both space [place, position] and time [past, present, future] are real, it is rather that 'stuff' [things that 'exist' - that we perceive to exist] is much more deceptive. Our senses see walls, rocks, trees, our bodies, etc. as solid - when they are mostly empty space and even what is not empty space is not filled with 'anything' we understand as 'stuff' - but energy, charges, magnetism, gravity and other fields. On the very large [universe] and very small [sub-atomic] size scales things get very strange and very different than we experience and have to deal with in our ordinary lives as perceived by our sensory apparatus. The idea of quantum anti-gravity or vacuum free-energy are somewhat connected [maybe] to dark matter and more likely to dark energy [which both make up the majority of all the 'stuff' in the universe, by far]. What we call the vacuum of space [supposedly nothing at all - the absence of anything] may well not have much 'stuff' in it, but seems to be filled with energy fields. Whether they can be 'harnessed' is another matter; perhaps they are in a parallel universe and not a part of ours. With the idea of a multiverse it gets even stranger still....but I digress....

...there appears to be nothing real but space-time and energy fields that react with space-time. All things that seem to exist as 'stuff' are only apparently 'stuff'; in reality only fields of various sorts interacting with space-time in ways only partly understood.
