5-5 How Do Observers Sense the Motion of Their Surrounding Space? (15)

1. Space Motion and Time Perception

- The text explores how humans perceive time and suggests that our sensation of time is related to the spiral motion of space rather than uniform linear motion

- It proposes that space moves in a cylindrical spiral pattern, creating our perception of time through centripetal acceleration

2. Acceleration and Human Sensation

- Humans can sense acceleration but not uniform linear motion (referencing Galileo's observations)

- The human body can typically withstand between -3G and +9G of acceleration

- Acceleration sensation differs from the five basic senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch)

- Near-death experiences may reveal pure sensation of spiral space motion when self-consciousness shuts down

3. Gravity and Space

- Gravitational fields are described as accelerated motion of space

- When objects fall, the text suggests that space itself falls with them toward Earth's center

- The body's interaction with surrounding space generates mass and gravitational fields

4. Time Perception Mechanism

- Time sensation comes from gravitational fields acting on our bodies

- Space's accelerated motion is periodic, not continuous

- These periodic changes occur at high frequency, making time feel uniform

- The periodic changes in space create waves moving at light speed

5. Fields and Human Perception

- Space's light-speed dispersive motion generates both gravitational and electromagnetic fields

- Time sensation is not derived from electromagnetic fields, as internal electric and magnetic fields in human bodies generally cancel out

- All human sensations ultimately stem from either our body's motion through space or surrounding space's motion
