Every once in a while, my mind likes to take a scientific turn for the wierd. I've been giving the above article a lot of thought. And I have come up and an idea that I acknowledge might be total BS.

The speed of light is 0. Light is a particle that does not actually travel. It just floats wherever it is. I keep thinking about all of the tiny particles like photons and nutrinos and whatever else. My suspicion is that the "wave" portion of light which results in light "traveling" is actually a reflection of that light source against other minute partciles in an atom. Those atoms spin fast enough that the light is actually whipped around from atom so fast its like the reflection of light is on a very fast conveyor belt. How fast? Oh it you were rolling along the top of that convey belt, you'd move at rougly 186000 miles per second. Because Atoms spin at the speed of light. Or is it the other way around? Light moves at the speed of atom spin...

This opens up lots of reasons why light would return fast than it is sent. Mainly because the original photon never moved..so if it reflects backwards off of something, you'll get a faster response time than you expect. And there are other possiblities. We know information can pass from atom to distant atom nearly instantly. So why can't that information be light pulses?

I've been thinking, what if the reason stars and planets evolved is because when the universe exploded, light, radiation, magnetism and matter were suddenly in constant movement. Imagine them mixing as they were moving along, and interacting with space debris, space dust, particles in space. It would create back spin or an increased spin that will eventually suck more matter in, untiil the object is t00 heavy to move along anymore. Then it either becomes a star, sun, moon or planet.

I bet, if you could follow all of the trails of planets trajectories from the center of the universe, you'd see a trail behind heavenly bodies that is slightly cooler than that body, but not as cold as the rest of empty space. It might even look like a web with all the interweaving galaxies moving toward the edge of the universe. My guess is that in its movement up to current position, all of the heavenly bodies sucked up smashed through., and obliteratever everything in its path. There should be a black trail behind it or a slightly cooler therrmal trail. Why? Well, put water in a freezer and put milk in a freezer, and the milk gets colder than the water. Why? Milk has more "body" or "substance" to it than water and that makes it get colder. Well, if thhat is the case, when all of these "heavenly bodies" come crashing through an area, they strip everything in that area.. Think of it like collecting hairs off your lap by using a strip of tape. Where the tape removes the hair first may leave a pattern roughly the shape of your tape behind. Same thing with heavenly bodies. The trail with all of the particles stripped away in the wake around the "heavenly body" should be just a hair warmer than the rest of open space.
