Can you demonstrate which type of EM-radiation would give rise to the effects of gravity, and also explain why we can not yet detect them as such.

Why do you insist on calling all forms of energy Electro-magnetic Radiation? Surely only energy in the form of radiation (EM) can be EMR?
I think you'd make people understand your point of view easier if you said that the fundamental 'bits' that makes up matter is essentially the same as that which makes up EMR, but they are different forms/configurations/expressions.

The change from one form of energy to another DOES 'see' time in a very direct manner (before, during, after). Just because the amount of energy is constant does not mean you can write it off as unchanging.

Re: Need a Clear Explanation
How do you come up with those answers? Shouldn't the first combination of waves cancel eachother out, and the second amplify eachother? Or do you have some really strange math that you feel you should show us?

Re: Need a Clear Explanation
Could you also give your reasoning why time travel would be impossible just because time isn't made out of energy?

Re: Need a Clear Explanation
But how can something that doesn't exist restrict you?

Re: Need a Clear Explanation
You know, space-ships aren't *that* new.
Still, that was not what I ment. You say that since time does not exist, you can only travel forward in it. I want you to explain that reasoning, because I can not see why such a limitation can be a direct effect of time not existing.
What is it that actually limits you from going anyway you want in time, since time as you said does not exist except as a construct. I mean, we can see that the spacial dimentions, which you say are merely a construct, allows us to go in any direction we wish. Why would a time dimention be different?
What is it that actually limits us, when time itself isn't around to do it?

Re: Need a Clear Explanation
Yeah, sorry, it took me until after I hit submit to actually get your point. Please check the edited post.

Re: Need a Clear Explanation
But what is it that gives rise to the phenomenas we commonly attribute to time? We can determine events in comparison to other events, yes (in terms of before, during, after, time dillution compared to observer, and so on) but how can you determine which time-way is the right one? In spatial explanations, we can use terms such as movement energy. Are you saying you have found and can formulate rules for time energy?
