Yin Yang and Einstein

Also, if you go above the speed of light, then theoretically you will go back in time.

Who claimed it though? What would the cause and effect be? What would the reason and purpose be? What would the cost be?

Any ideas? Any guesses?

To accelerate an object with a rest mass greater than zero to the speed of light would require an infinite amount of energy. Infinite energy is all the energy in the universe plus a great deal more.

True dat. So maybe don't do it with objects.

So, you claim that you're right, even if all the evidence is against you and none of it is for you?

What evidence against? Please do tell.

With what else?

The restriction in relativity is that something can't reach or exceed the speed of light from going slower. Particles, e.g. photons, can travel at c, and AIUI in relativity there's no explicit constraint to prevent particles moving faster than c, provided they don't start moving at c or slower. See tachyons.

The soul of course.

Pick a point that you've tried to make, and we can review it.

For example, just dealing with math, you've tried to say that yin = yang is both the case AND equivalent to 1 = 0, which demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of both math and the concepts that you're trying to deal with. Yin + yang = 0 is a far more defensible statement. As would be saying that the Absolute value of yin = the Absolute value of yang. Regardless, this is focusing far too strongly on a single aspect of the more expansive concept of yin and yang. Part of a concept =/= the whole concept.

Dealing more conceptually with the OP, the connection that you're seeing is very superficial. Anything deeper is the result of conflating different concepts and meanings of relative and likely false assumptions such as that there are no other similar concepts that would likely be more relevant. To throw out one that would be more likely to have had some influence, "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction."

There's more that could be said, but that was just pointing out a couple things. As I said, pick a point that you've tried to make.
