fortuitous fact that some mathematical procedures approximated real-world
processes sufficiently closely over a limited range to be useful, and looking
no further than that, found an invaluable servant. Terrans turned things
upside down by persuading themselves that their manipulations of formal
systems of symbols defined laws that reality was somehow obliged to imitate.
In doing so they subjected themselves to a tyrannical master.
Relativity theory had pursued mathematical elegance by seeking to extend to
electromagnetism the familiar principles of Galilean relativity, whereby the
equations describing mechanical motion came out the same regardless of whose

moving reference frame measurements were made from. A consistent solution
required that the velocity of light be the same for all observers, which
became one of the theory s postulates. Peculiar distortions of space and time
were necessary to maintain a velocity as constant, and the various
relativistic transformations followed. These also enabled the famous
experiment by Michelson and Morley in 1886, and its variants repeated to
greater accuracies ever since, which failed to find an ether wind due to the
Earth s motion around the Sun, as demonstrating that there was no ether no
preferred reference frame in which true laws of physics operated.
The Hyadeans went out into space which required, after all, solid engineering
more than esoteric theories and discovered that the sought-after medium was
simply the locally dominant electromagnetic field. Since in the vicinity of
Earth this traveled with the Earth around the Sun, the Terran physicists had,
in effect, been trying to measure the airspeed of their plane with their
instruments anchored solidly inside the cabin.
In the Hyadean scheme of things the Galilean transformations remained valid;
yet experiments performed on the surfaces of planets yielded the same results
that appeared to support relativity. The reason was that the electric field
surrounding a photon experienced an aerodynamic-like distortion when moving
through a gravity field, which affected the propagation velocity. Since local
gravity varied from place to place, the speed of light changed in different
parts of the cosmos, upsetting all manner of long-
cherished Terran calculations and models.
This distortion was responsible for the phenomenon measured as inertial mass,
which explained why mass increased with velocity. Increase in mass resulted in
the slowing down of a moving system s clock rates. Hence, time didn t dilate
in the way relativity maintained for example to extend the lifetimes of
incoming muons created in the upper atmosphere. The clocks of particles
moving through the Earth s gravity field ran slower than laboratory clocks at
rest in it. Hence, the Twin Paradox didn t arise, and space and time remained
what common sense had always said.
The associated energy dynamics restricted velocities in situations where the
gravitational field of the body being accelerated was small compared to the
field through which the acceleration was taking place.
This had been observed in experiments performed on Earth using nuclear
particles, and been misread as a
universal limit. But that was merely a locally valid approximation. Away from
large gravitating masses, hyperlight velocities could be achieved with
surprisingly little outlay of energy, and that was why the
Hyadeans were able to measure their interstellar journeys in weeks and months.
The gravitational effect itself emerged as a residue of the electrical
asymmetry arising from the distortion of hadrons within nuclei by intense
internal field stresses. Disturbances superposed on it propagated at close to
ten billion times the speed of light, which afforded the basis for Hyadean
long-
range communications.
Evidence hinting at such possibilities had been available on Earth all along,
filed in the reports of unfashionable experiments and cited by critics of the
orthodoxy. But the mainstream had always ignored it, or found ways to explain
it away.
Because it didn t fit with the theory.

a clear view over

Casper Toddrel appended his signature on all six copies of the Deed Transfer

These were followed by a ten-page Disclosure
