  2.8    Evidence for Simple Model hypothesis

There is not much direct evidence for SM hypothesis but listed below are some facts that argue for it:

  •     Consider the poor correlation between the strength of gravitation and gravitational time dilations:  Here on Earth’s surface we have a gravitational pull of 9.8 m/s2 and a time dilation effect equal to an EVV of 11.2 Km/s.  But consider an object orbiting the sun from a distance equals to 1 AU.  The sun’s gravitation is less than 0.006 m/s2 and the gravitational time dilation equals an EVV of 42 Km/s.  The disparity is outlandish.  On the other hand, the correlation between the escape velocity and gravitational time dilation is one to one.

  •     Astronomers tell us that the universe is expanding due to the expansion of space, that is, space can and does move.  Galaxy clusters are moving away from each other, carried away by accelerating space, no less.  These galaxies are in free fall.  Processes within these galaxies are not slowed down by their moving away speed as SR would predict.

    •     Lets also consider the discussions of section 1.3 (Exceeding the speed of light) and of section 2.3 (Stopping time twice.)  These events challenge all logic for them to be true as GR would predict, while for SM hypothesis, these events never take place.
