THEORY OF SPECIAL, GENERAL, AND TOTALLY INDISCRIMINATE RELATIVISM
Define
c = speed of light ~ 600 mph
d = speed of dark ≥ 601 mph
According to Big Al Onestone’s TOSGATIR each contributes to the inherent energy of matter:
EL = mc^2 light energy
ED = -md^2 dark energy ✌
✌ Note the minus sign.
We know that d > c as already mentioned. So when “the soft yellow light of dawn flow[s] over the landscape like the caress of a gentle lover, or, as some would have it, like golden syrup” we observe a curious phenomenon, unremarked by anyone until Big Al started asking stupid penetrating questions:
As dawn flows over the Disc, the gap between light and dark regions will grow at a rate
d –c > 0
This is both a problem and a major insight.
INSIGHT
This is why a round world makes no sense. On a sphere, the dark would pass round the back and eventually catch up with the light. Physicists do not yet understand what happens at that point, but they suspect that a singularity develops.
It is a pity this was not discovered earlier as it would have saved a lot of difficulty with Omnianism.

WHITE: light.
BLACK: dark. SPOTTY: Well, that's an interesting question: PROBLEM: What's in the gap? Onestone hypothesized that the gap is occupied by a second form of dark, which he called twidark. b = speed of twidark ~ ? mph What is b? There are various theories. • b = 0. Twidark is left behind when dark moves, and is removed again when the light arrives. • b is variable. Its speed depends on what it is relating to. At a twidark/light boundary, b = c. At a twidark/dark boundary, b = d. So one of the fundamental constants isn’t. The disadvantage of this theory is that it does not require a third or fourth type of dark to fill the gaps between twidark and light or twidark and dark — which would be far more fun. • b = umpty. This theory is favoured by the Bursar. |
