The Turtle World

The World Turtle; the Cosmic Turtle; the World-bearing Turtle; the Divine Turtle… this is the Mythos of a giant turtle that is said to support the world.

“A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: ‘What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.’ The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, ‘What is the tortoise standing on?’ ‘You’re very clever, young man, very clever,’ said the old lady. ‘But it’s turtles all the way down!’” – Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time

Ironically, the “turtles all the way down” concept is nowhere more applicable than in Einstein’s theory of relativity, so revered by scientists such as Hawking. The universe doesn’t rest on anything in relativity theory. Everything is relative to everything else. What size is anything? Who knows? It could be anything. Size no longer has an absolute meaning. All absolute standards are abolished by relativity. Everything can consider itself stationary, hence that everything else is moving. So what is moving and what is stationary? The question is rendered meaningless by relativity theory. In fact, everything becomes meaningless. The relativistic universe is anchorless and rudderless. It might as well be resting on mythical turtles since it certainly isn’t resting on anything substantive. The relativistic universe is as bizarre as the block universe (with which it is intimately linked) where time is frozen forever.

The only fixed point in relativity theory is the speed of light, but of course neither Einstein (nor anyone else in science) explained why the speed of light should be invariant. It was simply taken as an experimentally verified fact, one on which any viable physical theory must now be based.

Relativity theory is a classic example of an ingenious but fallacious theory driven by an unexplained experimental observation. The real test facing Einstein was to explain WHY light speed was invariant, but that wasn’t the question he addressed. Instead, his thinking pursued this line: given that the speed of light is invariant, what does this mean for space and time?

Einstein’s great achievement was to fuse space and time into spacetime. He thereby replaced Newtonian absolute space and time with relativistic spacetime, but another option was open to him – the right answer – absolute spacetime. Absolute spacetime kills the turtles and provides a true anchor for the universe. Einstein missed it because he became completely confused by “ether”. Contrary to what most people believe, he didn’t disprove the existence of ether. All he did was show that there was no physical medium called ether that could affect the measurement of the speed of light.
