Einstein has been a roll lately in terms of his theories being proven right. NASA's Cassini-Huygen spacecraft provides another example.
Like a commuter studying Plato on the subway, a far-flung satellite has accomplished something unusually productive while cruising to work. On its way to Saturn, NASA's Cassini-Huygens spacecraft has tested Einstein's theory of gravity to unprecedented precision.
In 1915, Einstein posited that gravity is nothing other than the bending of space and time. Matter and energy warp space and time, and a freely falling object travels along the nearest equivalent to a straight line in the curved spacetime terrain. Known as general relativity, this theory has become a pillar of modern physics. Even everyday technologies, such as the Global Positioning System, rely on its predictions. Yet nobody had tested the accuracy of those predictions to better than a tenth of a percent.
Now, radio signals to and from Cassini have validated Einstein's theory to 50 times greater precision, report astrophysicist Bruno Bertotti of the University of Pavia, physicist Luciano Iess of the University of Rome-La Sapienza, and engineer Paolo Tortora of the University of Bologna in Flori. They studied the signals when Cassini was on the other side of the sun from Earth. When radio waves beamed from Earth passed through the spacetime dimple created by the sun, , their frequencies shifted. The team could tell the size of the shift because Cassini responded with waves whose frequencies depended on those it received. To Einstein's credit, the shifts agreed with the spacetime-bending predictions of general relativity to within 20 parts per million, the researchers report in the 25 September issue of Nature.
The new results are a shot in the arm for gravity research, says Ronald Hellings, a physicist at Montana State University in Bozeman: "We've been waiting 30 years for a breakthrough like this." Most physicists believe that general relativity cannot be the ultimate theory of gravity, as it cannot be reconciled directly with quantum mechanics and does not account for the evolution of the universe. So high-precision tests of general relativity might reveal new forces and particles beyond gravity, says Thibault Damour, a theoretical physicist at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques in Bures-sur-Yvette, France. Whatever Einstein may have missed might reveal itself in even more precise experiments already planned for other satellites, he says.
Here is the summery.
Time and Space are Verbs! That's right the essence of time and space are actions of the ultimate process!
Here is a sample show it to a science editor and e-mail me back. Thank you for your time in this matter. C. Michael Turner 1 (407) 909-0103. Gravitation@cfl.rr.com. Newton and Einstien never explained "How" everything works this is the missing answer."Framework to the theory of everything!"
Spacetime may not be the true way to understand the relationship between the concepts of matter, energy, time, space and speed. Relativity is the point of origin mass to energy transfer between bound matter (potential energy) and unbound matter (kenetic energy) the Gravity wave ( space). That is to say that matter evaporates, decays, into the gravitational wave creating the resulting continious actions of space, time and gravitational wave sychronization. Space is the gravitational wave being freed to its lowest form of matter. Time is the cosmological constant -the evaporation rate of matter. There is no real curved spacetime. It is gravitational wave sychronization, gravitational waves aligning through the path of least resistance that brings matter together, that is responsible time and space distortion as the waves elongate just as the dopler effect works in sounds. Instead of the sound wave being shortened or elongated when compared to moving objects the gravity wave is shortened or lengthened, red-blue shift which affects not the action of sound but the actions of time and space. Gravitational wave sychronization of bodies in motion change the relationship of the gravitational waves with respect to each other and the resulting actions of time and space change.Time and space are actions created by each discrete piece of matter as the matter evaporates into the gravitational wave. Space is the unfolding of matter. Time is the resulting action of the rate of evaporation of the gravitational wave. Relativity- Point of origin mass to energy transfer in wave form of bodies in motion Newton- Einstein- How it all works!

Here is my example of gravitational sychronization-
THE BOBBER- RIPPLE (wave) EXPERIMENT
The experiment ………….
A 1000 kg. Bobber automatically bobbing once every 10 seconds in water, and a 1 kg. Bobber automatically bobbing once every 10 seconds in the same water 10 meters apart. They both have the same pounds per square meter bobbing force.
The prediction…………….
Both bobbers would come together and touch to form a uniform distribution of the ripples. The ripples represent the gravitation e- wave emitted from each object.
The discussion…………..
Evaporative gravitation predicts that the path of least resistance would be for both bobbers to have equal centers of e-wave distribution. Since both condensation masses attempt to take up the space to synchronize to the path of least resistance, they touch and remain that way. If the masses could, they would pass through each other until the centers of each mass overlap perfectly, as in the big bang and almost in black holes. This represents the path of least resistance of each set of gravitational e- waves.
THE EVIDENCE
1).Absolute Zero- evaporation (decay) stops. Superatoms are created as matter condenses.
2). Time - cannot come in Quantum units.Deep space and light studies.
3). Black holes- evaporate over time.
4). All galaxies are increasingly accelerating away from the big bang. f=ma where force is constant and mass decreases.
5). Gravity and acceleration working together distort time due to change in wave sychronization and distortion. Matter generates space and time, which are actions of the evaporative gravitational wave being generated.

Featured on my website is the work of Jason Borenstein, who based on his prediction is certain that druring the solar eclipse of 2006 it will be possible to detect the Illusive gravity waves predicted by Einstein.
The work is featured on www.nyseattle.com on the science page I encourage you to review it.
