: You said the MM experiment was an "attempt to detect the absolute motion of the Earth through space". No, it was an attempt to measure motion of Earth relative to the aether. You said relativity postulates that space and time are distorted to make the Earth appear stationary. No, that's not right either. If you think that you have a valid view, then show me an example of one person who understands freshman physics and agrees with you. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 11:40, 2 May 2007 (EDT)

:The aether was believed to be an absolution frame of reference therefor "Motion relative to aether" = "absolute motion through space". The two statments mean exactly the same thing. We can use your phrasing if you like, the meaning of the paragraph will remain unchanged.[[User:Mmeelliissssaa|Mmeelliissssaa]] 12:14, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
::Many people have tried to create a [[Theory of everything]]. It's not for a trustworthy encyclopedia like ours to present cutting-edge research like that. [[Paradigm shift]]s in science can take decades. Let's just write up what we already know. Then later, if there's time, we can describe recent (possible) breakthroughs. Fair enough? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 11:43, 2 May 2007 (EDT)

I agree that an encylopedia shouldn't endorse such cutting edge research yes, though I think it would be worth mentioning it. [[String theory]] has an entire article dedicated to it. Alturnative (To relativity) science is quite inportant to the Geocentric earth movement. [[User:Mmeelliissssaa|Mmeelliissssaa]] 12:14, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
I've been adviced to make smaller edits at a time, and to discuss them here before making them aswell as afterwards so here goes. There are a number of Bible verses that describe the postion and motion of the earth in space, and since that is what this article discusses I propose that they be added here. I propose that they be put in their own section at the end of the article. If known one has any objections I plan to make this change tomoro. If anyone knows of some relevant verses please add / suggest them, I only know for off the top of my head but I know there are several others. Thank you [[User:Mmeelliissssaa|Mmeelliissssaa]] 12:14, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
