    Our current theory of gravity isn't "wrong" so much as it's incomplete. We can use it to make astonishingly accurate predictions in almost every scenario, but those couple of extremely specific scenarios we can't predict tell us that we're missing something.

Even theoretical hints that it will be possible for a more advanced civilization to have such a weapon, will meke it a good idea to go unnoticed. The galaxy is big, it should be full of intelligent civilizations, some number of which are advanced enough to be able to destroy us. If only a few of those we assume that is pure evil or just wants to eliminate competition in it's infancy, we should stay quiet...

    One crazy theory I read about is that gravity does not exist in the first place. Or, more accurate, it does, but its only a side effect of time and mass interacting. The metaphor would be a boat on a river. The river flows in one direction and the boat drifts along. The closer you get to the river bank, the slower the water flows. Now, once you get close enougth, the water on one side flows noticibly faster than on the side towards the river bank, and that exerts a force onto the boat pushing it towards the river bank. In this metaphor time would be the flowing river, an large object with mass would be the river bank and the boat a smaller one. The idea is that the faster flow of time is exerting a force towards a mass rich object, the small difference of, for example your feet and your heads time speed, being what actually causes what we observe as gravity. So, the theory states , its not gravity that pushes you down, its time.

      @@DGraze You are correct that time is not a force. It is an dimension. But that does not mean an interaction does not cause an effect we might percive as a force. In this theory, its basically the three spacial dimensions being warped by an interaction with the time dimension, and not mass directly warping the three spatial dimensions. Whats nice about this theory is that it makes the existence of the so far unprofen and higly theoretical graviton unnessesary. To make it very rougth, if you take a bucket with water and spin it around the water wont fall out, like there is gravity. But its not, there is no force. Its just inertia and the change in direction creating the illusion of a force.

      You just described inflation theory, which is a whole different problem. One of the reasons some argue that the speed of light may have been different, is because some aspects of the universe appear to be younger then what cosmology says, and that would affect carbon dating, the age of the universe, etc… One of the problems with inflation is where did the universe get the energy for the rapid expansion, and/or where did that energy go. Both, inflation and the speed of light bring with them more questions than they do answers, which makes the whole of cosmological theory look like a worn patchwork quilt. At this point, nothing makes any sense!

    If you view gravity as a repulsive force emitted from empty space due to its non-affinity for matter the planets, solar systems, galaxies, and the universe would behave as they are observed to do.

    Our best antennae are barely able to pick up the voyagers at 22.5 W, +48dB from voyager's antenna, and 120 AU. It's estimated the signal will drop below background noise by 200 AU (but the power to transmit is likely to be gone before then).. We don't need to worry -
    1) we reuse almost all communications frequencies - even back in the 1930's - within 60° of latitude and/or longitude. The signals are going to be out of phase, resulting in a lot of noise.
    2) even a 50 MW broadcast is losing a lot. Our biggest radio signal ran about that strong. Due to lack of collimation, it's only going to get picked up by a +70dB Deep Space Network at sqrt(1.3e5) × the ranage, or about 82000 AU... a light year is 63241.1 AU... not even enough to get to the nearest star system.
    3) even given all that, there is the formatting issue. Our video encoding for broadcast is pretty messy. So, if they detect and record is, they're unlikely to be able to make sense of it. And that is due to the way we included sound and video. If they guess wrong, it's just noise. (after all, each watt is roughly 1e40 photons ± a factor of 1000... past a certain distance, there just aren't enough photons to carry signal.)

    If space has an information transmission rate saturation limit then the graviational effect would depend on the number of informational events happening locally and how much of the saturation limit they ate up. As the saturation limit is approached events have to wait and time slows down.
    If you have 2 massive objects the event rate is slower in the space between the 2 objects and faster outwardly. Which would indicate the 2 objects are being pushed together rather than acually being pulled together.

    In photography you focus light, you open the aperture to let more light in, film speed comes in different sensitivities. If we accept the phase shift of light being a genuine possibility, then what variable caused it? When light is focused it produces heat. When an image is out of focus the same light is hitting the lens the lens is just focused on a different point. Gravity is what holds stars in their shape condensing the energy enough to emit light. So the shift it stands to reason could be an altering of gravity made by the condensing of matter to therefore emit light. Like focusing a lens to produce heat at that point of condensing light would attain its speed. Like stretching elastic. So for me it stands to reason this theory makes sense even in our level of existence. From photography, to mirage, what created the sun like magnifying glass burning ants. You don’t create a lens in water without letting the mud settle first.

It doesn't really mean that I exist or that the world exists or anything else, but it does mean that at least something exists because those thoughts themselves are "something", and those thoughts certainly do "exist" in a way.

    Red Shift: Consider the following:
    a. Current narrative: Space itself is expanding. (Even though science does not fully know yet what 'space' actually is nor how it could actually expand).
    b. But consider: The net effect of solar winds, particles and energy pushing outward from galaxies, (even modern science claims 'em' has momentum), continuously, over a prolonged period of time, with other galaxies doing the same, with nothing to stop them from doing so, would tend to push galaxies away from each other and even potentially allow the cosmic web to form between galaxies.
    And then, when we here in our galaxy, look at far away galaxies, with other galaxies in between, the net effect of all those galactic interactions would have galaxies furthest from ours move away faster the further those galaxies were from us, including us perceiving a red shift of energy.
    c. Now, utilizing the scientific principal of Occam's razor, which way is more probably correct? What the current narrative is ('a' above), or 'b' utilizing known physics?
    * Added note: Plus, 'if' my analysis is correct that our spiral shaped galaxy is collapsing in upon itself, then consider also:
    d. When we look at solar systems between ours and the center of the galaxy, those solar systems would be getting pulled faster towards the center than ours, hence also seeing a red shift of energy.
    e. When we look at solar systems between ours and the outer edge of the galaxy, our solar system would be getting pulled faster towards the center then them, hence also seeing a red shift of energy.
    f. Only if we looked at solar systems adjacent to ours should we see a blue shift of energy (as the solar systems became closer together as they moved towards the center of the galaxy). I also propose looking for blue shifts of energy between our solar system and adjacent solar systems to confirm or deny this current belief.
    g. But if true, would also add to our observation of seeing a red shift of energy in this universe as our spiral shaped galaxy collapses in upon itself.
    Of which, not only would species from this Earth have to get off of this Earth before the Sun becomes a red giant one day and wipes out all life on this Earth if not even the entire Earth itself, but species from this Earth would also have to successfully get out of this collapsing spiral shaped galaxy, otherwise, most probably death awaits us all and this Earth and all on it are all just a waste of space time in this universe. All life from this Earth would eventually die and go extinct. Currently, no exceptions.
    h. QUESTION: Do basically all galaxies eventually collapse in upon themselves?
    (Which would add to the perceived red shift between galaxies as they all basically shrink in size).
    Modern science currently states that 'gravity' is matter bending the fabric of spacetime. There is a lot of matter in a galaxy and hence would make a huge dent in spacetime. How could galaxies not collapse in upon themselves if space and time were bent to make it so?
    Of which also, the progression of galaxies?:
    1. How exactly do galaxies form? (The current narrative is that matter, via gravity, attracts other matter. The electric universe model also includes universal plasma currents.)
    2. How exactly do galaxies flatten out if gravity is acting on the whole galaxy? (Other forces must also be at work besides gravity for a galaxy to flatten out? Electrical and/or magnetic forces?)
    3. How exactly do galaxies become spiral shaped? (At least one way would be orbital velocity of matter with at least gravity acting upon that matter, would cause a spiral shaped effect. The electric universe model also includes energy input into the galaxy, which spiral towards the galactic center, which then gets thrust out from the center, at about 90 degrees from the input. Additionally, with the conservation of energy, as energy moves into the vertical plane from the center of the horizontal plane, energy from the horisontal plane moves to the center of the horizontal plane to replace the energy that moved into the vertical plane. There is also the conservation of angular momentum. As more matter moves towards the center of the galaxy, that portion of the galaxy would speed up relative to the matter towards the outer portions of the galaxy.)
    4. The natural progression of a galaxy would be to become smaller and smaller.
    5. Of which, does all life throughout the entire universe (if other life even exists in the universe besides what is on this Earth, which is most probably true) eventually die and go extinct and the entire universe and all in it are ultimately meaningless in the grandest scheme of things and the entire universe and all in it are ultimately just a waste of spacetime in existence?
    And even 'if' the current narrative of space itself is expanding, and the entire universe would eventually end in a 'big freeze', wouldn't the end of life itself in this entire universe still occur?

    The idea of entropy is a sort of logical fallacy because it says that time, space, and matter is "disorder". And that this disorder tends to increase.
    Or maybe more formally it is the idea that a system tends to become unpredictable and less and less of the heat is available to be used for work. But to me what this is really describing is an eventual breakaway from a single point of perspective being able to measure what is being observed.
    And I think more recent ideas in physics tell us that it is possible that consciousness creates ordering in the universe. Also randomness is not really impossible to predict, and neither is chaos. It's just harder to predict than deterministic systems.

    The 'simplest' way one might explain the macroscopic universe including gravity is as no more than emergent properties of the 'quantum realm'.
    Such a view is both useful and unhelpful:
    -Everything we see in the macroscopic universe makes sense as a consequence of the quantum mechanics we already know.
    -But as it is not possible to predict emergent behaviour from 'fundamental rules' we have no ability to model one from the other.
    ie: You can't predict emergent behaviour even when you know the fundamental rules, you have to 'run the experiment' to see what emerges. You may then make rules to describe the emergent behaviour but you can't use either set of 'rules' to predict the other. Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity?
    I should point out this is only my (unpopular) view that seems to fit what we know - possibly unpopular because if true we will never combine QM and GR in a 'theory of everything' because QM is already the theory of everything... with the caveat that we would be forced to accept it has little practicable macroscopic value unless we find the means to predict emergent behaviour from fundamental rules.

Quantum theory is one of my favourite topics to read about as a layperson. It is so bizarre in so many ways. It might not be complete and still could be incorrect but given our understanding of the universe, the maths work out. There is no describable mechanic that allows for conscience to continue after death, or for angels or ghosts except magic. Winning the quantum lottery and suddenly passing through a solid wall, possible. Even the craziest of theories like string theory has a potential mechanism and maths to describe reality.

    Fact check: Dark matter doesn't make matter move faster than the speed of light, that is impossible. What it does it stretch or expand space time (which has no mass and that can go faster than the speed of light). So the objects aren't moving faster than the speed of light, however the space between us and said object is expanding/stretching faster than the speed of light. Those objects could be moving toward us spatially in relation to our position, but the space between increases non the less.

  • @charlesbrightman4237
    @charlesbrightman4237 Рік тому

    Revised TOE: 3/25/2017a.
    My Current TOE:
    THE SETUP:
    1. Modern science currently recognizes four forces of nature: The strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, gravity, and electromagnetism.
    2. In school we are taught that with magnetism, opposite polarities attract and like polarities repel. But inside the arc of a large horseshoe magnet it's the other way around, like polarities attract and opposite polarities repel. (I have proved this to myself with magnets and anybody with a large horseshoe magnet and two smaller bar magnets can easily prove this to yourself too. It occurs at the outer end of the inner arc of the horseshoe magnet.).
    3. Charged particles have an associated magnetic field with them.
    4. Protons and electrons are charged particles and have their associated magnetic fields with them.
    5. Photons also have both an electric and a magnetic component to them.
    FOUR FORCES OF NATURE DOWN INTO TWO:
    6. When an electron is in close proximity to the nucleus, it would basically generate a 360 degree spherical magnetic field.
    7. Like charged protons would stick together inside of this magnetic field, while simultaneously repelling opposite charged electrons inside this magnetic field, while simultaneously attracting the opposite charged electrons across the inner portion of the electron's moving magnetic field.
    8. There are probably no such thing as "gluons" in actual reality.
    9. The strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force are probably derivatives of the electro-magnetic field interactions between electrons and protons.
    10. The nucleus is probably an electro-magnetic field boundary.
    11. Quarks also supposedly have a charge to them and then would also most likely have electro-magnetic fields associated with them, possibly a different arrangement for each of the six different type of quarks.
    12. The interactions between the quarks EM forces are how and why protons and neutrons formulate as well as how and why protons and neutrons stay inside of the nucleus and do not just pass through as neutrinos do.
    THE GEM FORCE INTERACTIONS AND QUANTA:
    13. Personally, I currently believe that the directional force in photons is "gravity". It's the force that makes the sine wave of EM energy go from a wide (maximum extension) to a point (minimum extension) of a moving photon and acts 90 degrees to the EM forces which act 90 degrees to each other. When the EM gets to maximum extension, "gravity" flips and EM goes to minimum, then "gravity" flips and goes back to maximum, etc, etc. A stationary photon would pulse from it's maximum extension to a point possibly even too small to detect, then back to maximum, etc, etc.
    14. I also believe that a pulsating, swirling singularity (which is basically a pulsating, swirling 'gem' photon) is the energy unit in this universe.
    15. When these pulsating, swirling energy units interact with other energy units, they tangle together and can interlock at times. Various shapes (strings, spheres, whatever) might be formed, which then create sub-atomic material, atoms, molecules, and everything in existence in this universe.
    16. When the energy units unite and interlock together they would tend to stabilize and vibrate.
    17. I believe there is probably a Photonic Theory Of The Atomic Structure.
    18. Everything is basically "light" (photons) in a universe entirely filled with "light" (photons).
    THE MAGNETIC FORCE SPECIFICALLY:
    19. When the electron with it's associated magnetic field goes around the proton with it's associated magnetic field, internal and external energy oscillations are set up.
    20. When more than one atom is involved, and these energy frequencies align, they add together, specifically the magnetic field frequency.
    21. I currently believe that this is where a line of flux originates from, aligned magnetic field frequencies.
    NOTES:
    22. The Earth can be looked at as being a massive singular interacting photon with it's magnetic field, electrical surface field, and gravity, all three photonic forces all being 90 degrees from each other.
    23. The flat spiral galaxy can be looked at as being a massive singular interacting photon with it's magnetic fields on each side of the plane of matter, the electrical field along the plane of matter, and gravity being directed towards the galactic center's black hole where the gravitational forces would meet, all three photonic forces all being 90 degrees from each other.
    24. As below in the singularity, as above in the galaxy and probably universe as well.
    25. I believe there are only two forces of nature, Gravity and EM, (GEM). Due to the stability of the GEM with the energy unit, this is also why the forces of nature haven't evolved by now. Of which with the current theory of understanding, how come the forces of nature haven't evolved by now since the original conditions acting upon the singularity aren't acting upon them like they originally were, billions of years have supposedly elapsed, in a universe that continues to expand and cool, with energy that could not be created nor destroyed would be getting less and less dense? My theory would seem to make more sense if in fact it is really true. I really wonder if it is in fact really true.
    26. And the universe would be expanding due to these pulsating and interacting energy units and would also allow galaxies to collide, of which, how could galaxies ever collide if they are all speeding away from each other like is currently taught?
    DISCLAIMER:
    27. As I as well as all of humanity truly do not know what we do not know, the above certainly could be wrong. It would have to be proved or disproved to know for more certainty.

      You understand it all wrong. The "memories" aren't really a thing. It's all just neural connections and electrical currents in your brain, which means that if that brain was floating in nothingness, then as long as those signals and connections in your brain happen in the same way, you can't tell the difference. The "memories" in this theory aren't really memories in the true sense, because they never happened and thus are not a record of true events. You could call them hallucinations.
