Electric Ether

On the earth plane Gravitation is a current of electric ether that runs in parallel lines around the globe. On the Twentieth Plane, Gravitation acts in perpendicular lines that run straight up from the earth plane. We can get between those lines and escape the law.

This visualisation shows what Einstein envisioned. Researchers crunched Einstein's theory of general relativity on the Columbia supercomputer at the NASA Ames Research Centre to create a three-dimensional simulation of merging black holes. This was the largest astrophysical calculation ever performed on a NASA supercomputer. The simulation provides the foundation to explore the universe in an entirely new way, through the detection of gravitational waves—Original work of NASA
