Negative Answer. A Faustian universe can even be justified mathematically, says Stannard, because the Einsteinian equation that expresses the time of one observer relative to the time of another observer moving at a different speed involves a square root. The square root of any number, he points out, can be a positive or a negative number. "What I suggest," says Stannard, "is that we accept the minus answer as a possibility. Thus we get negative, or Faustian, time...
...calculations made by Stanford University Physicist Leonard Schiff, the gyroscope should precess-change the direction of its axis of rotation-about 1/500th of a degree each year that it is in orbit. This gradual and almost imperceptible change would be caused by the continuous passage of the gyroscope through Einsteinian space, which is "warped" by the earth's gravitational field...
...raises such questions as whether the universe came into being suddenly, or whether it existed forever-and in that case, what is "forever"? What is eternity? "The subject," says Science Writer Leon Jaroff, "makes the mind boggle, especially when you get into the area of cosmology, into the Einsteinian concept of space...
