Well think of a single point. The number of trajectories thru a point would seem geometrically infinite...then the particles or waves that travel along each trajectory even if a single particle each minute I expect would give a near infinite flux,
I wonder how many nutrinos travel along each and every tradjectory...
A black hole is where all the pu****rons stop
I am indeed tied to the force notion or at least to a vague expectation that at some level things fly about that carry information and my view is that without something along those lines we can only be left with magic.
GR doesn't like a mechanical explanation that much is clear but surely there must be something physical that passes information...And at a basic level bumping into something passes information.
Well I must be good at quantum mechanics as it is said that if you think you understand it than you are mistaken...And I don't understand it
I think the mystery attactched to quantum mechanics reflects nothing more than we just don't know some things..however it seems that with uncountable particles flying about we get to resort to probability.. sure we may not be able to tell much about a specific particle and many may do the unexpected but it can be expected based on assessment of the probability that not withstanding an suggested confusion a result can be determined ..I expect that even with the flow of electrons in a simple circuit, if we could follow them all it would show some outside the circuit going somewhere that a strick interpretation of a circuit would suggest does not happen but the probability is most follow the expected path such that strays are irrelevant.
And of course our technology is reliable because all of it is built on tested scientific models.. I could have a scientific model that says super nova are produced by goblins and it would be acceptable so long as I could predict the next super nova...extreme example but the point is the understanding of reality could be different to the reality if the model makes correct predictions.
GR and GPS...sure thing but does that eliminate a different approach?
I have seen various claims that positioning can be done by other methods and given that GR is a co ordinate system I would expect there is perhaps other co ordinate systems that can deliver GPS...I don't know however.
All I attempt to do is look for how mass tells space how to bend ...what information travels from the mass to tell space what to do...there must be something and I merely speculate on how such may happen.
But I know the difference between speculation and science models.
I have no illusions.
Thanks for the chat.

Bojan what do you think about this?
There is another part that is easy to miss notes at the end .
