New Vistas of Space-Time Rebut the Critics

In their critique of my book, Conner and Page fail to keep in mind that their own theory, the Big Bang, does not have a centre of mass. Thus they overlook an obvious contrast between the Big Bang and my cosmology, the existence of a centre of mass in my theory. The centre is crucial because it causes significant differences in gravitational potential energy between various places. During creation week, those energy differences were large enough to produce a region of space in which time did not exist. This profoundly different zone of timelessness shows up in the mathematical cornerstone of my theory (the Klein metric) as a region of Euclidean signature, wherein all four components of the metric are spacelike. This zone, which should not be confused with the event horizon, makes the Universe young as measured by clocks on Earth. Only recently have relativists realised that some metrics can contain both Euclidean regions and normal space-time. This article is the first time anyone has pointed out such a feature in the Klein metric. Conner and Page relied on the Robertson-Walker metric, which is blind to the Euclidean zone and therefore inadequate for the topology of my theory. Conner and Page should have used either the Klein metric or, according to a recent relativist article, a more general form of the Robertson-Walker metric. The Conner-Page criticisms, being based on an incorrect metric, are wrong. This paper is not merely a defence of my book. I have taken the opportunity to clarify and develop my theory a few steps further, opening up new and spectacular vistas of the space-time God created. 1. CONNER AND PAGE MISS
