Hypothesis 15

Gravitational Time Dilation

The donkey’s jawbone (Judges 15:15) expresses the fact that it’s possible for the Earth to be about 6,000 years old while the remote regions of the cosmos my be 13.8 billion years old, or more, at the same time. This is due to a phenomenon known as gravitational time dilation. The connection between physics and the Bible is that, figuratively speaking, what Samson did to the Philistines in Lehi with a donkey’s jawbone is what’s going to happen in theoretical physics when the penny drops.

– Donkey’s Jawbone, definition

The Donkey’s Jawbone

Also know as gravitational time dilation (GTD)

1. At the center of the Earth
   • time isn’t passing.
2. At a radial distance of 6,371 km (the surface of Earth)
   • a day is 24 hours.
3. At the distance of the firmament (the remote regions of the cosmos)
   • 24 hours on Earth surface is 1,000 years.

Predictive Testable Hypothesis 15

• IF 1 day on Earth’s surface = 1,000 years at the radial distance of the firmament,
  • AND at the center of the Earth time isn’t passing,
• THEN 1,000 years on Earth’s surface = 1 day at a certain depth inside the Earth.
