    Roger Penrose is one of the few truly great minds we have access to in this age. He implies what many of us secretly believe, namely that there is something more fundamental we haven't yet glimpsed which will clear up the contradictions. Many world's, the landscape, inflation, dark matter and the like will fall by the wayside when (if ever) this is discovered. What Physics needs is a new Einstein, and if past experience holds, we may have to wait another 300 years. As an aside, this man's humility and humanity is so refreshing amoung his peers. I wish I could be there when God shows Penrose the whole picture.

      Meditate; to beyond the jhanas and the formless abodes or immaterial realms (or in Christian parlance the various degrees or stages of prayer or heavenly or saintly abodes or stages or levels of sainthood) and one can truly ask of the Great (vegan, wholefood) Hotgod Vendor to "Make one One with everything" to truly achieve At-One-Ment going beyond having even just "a little dust in one's eye" so that one becomes as Meister Eckhart, "from whom God hid Nothing". Though would this mean that Eckhart was in need of the stage of No-thing-ness, prior to Neither Perception Nor Non-Perception of the (is it correct to say) the 8th and 9th jhanas ?
      Advancing to these levels of alternate states of consciousness may strip away such levels of deep-seated prejudice and conceit (or ego-centrism) as to display Reality in all its glory. Whether this is more (or less) difficult or edifying than a deep mathematical grasp of the universe or reality is probably beyond even Penrose, but I'd hazard to guess he'd be pretty damn close. I'd love to hear his take on it, but I'd suspect he might avoid answering too explicitly as a consequence of the prejudices of his fellow "scientists", after all, is this not why he chose to call his book after the Hans Christian Andersen tale (The Emperor's New Clothes) which highlights how we follow, sheepishly, the prejudices of those around us for fear of being witch-hunted ?

    Subspace: +ve charge cells (charge quanta, base charge +1) held together by an ethereal sea of free-flowing -ve charge
    Inertia: Energy lost by a free cell squeezing through the lattice is returned with a kick as the lattice decompresses/refreezes/balances behind
    Momentum: Free cells have inertia, free chunks form energy loops of cells in front moving to fill -ve space behind. Holes are just -ve charge flow
    Positron: +ve free cell (+1) pulls in -ve charge that rebounds with curved outflows. Drags cells, vibrates the Lattice
    Electron: -ve hole (-1) pulls in +ve cells that rebound outwards before stopping or looping back in. Drags -ve charge, vibrates the Lattice
    Neutrino: Over 50% (else back to empty lattice) out of phase Electron + Positron. Free cell and hole are close with tight shared charge loops so tiny mass
    Proton: 2 positrons (fuzzily) sandwiching/wrapping 1 electron. 3 sub parts and long charge loops so mass is large. Overall electric charge is +1
    Neutron: Proton + Electron. Electron joins another proton in the nucleus, decays outside via centrifugal force on the dangling electron
    Alpha Particle: 2N + 2P.. 10 e-, 8 p+.. -2 base charge .. (pep)(e)(pep)+(pep)(e)(pep), +2 valence charge. -ve core in a +ve shell (PPeePP) + Gravity
    ++++: Chunks + holes of lattice of various sizes that quickly turn to smaller chunks and holes, until electrons, positrons, neutrinos/back to regular lattice
    Atom: Lattice density increases to the nucleus centre. Outer electrons may be squashed flat on the nucleus surface or pulled away (completely)
    Weak Force: A nucleus weak point hit with enough energy by one or many particles releases alpha particles, neutrons, protons, electrons and gamma light
    Nuclear Force: Gravity (-ve charge inflow/charge gradient) + electric attraction beat electric repulsion. Fuzzy balloons recursively pulled into spheres
    Electron Bond: Electron stretched between two +ve nuclei zones. There is also a 6 ins+6 outs charge flow model of electrons and positrons
    -ve Charge Flow: Continuous, gravity-centralised inflows, outflows curve with shallow exit angle. Lateral force in random directions cancels out
    Gravity: Matter attracts -ve charge away from voids that repel more and expand. Higher -ve charge density compacts the lattice
    Time: Local time/(charge outflow speed / wave frequency?)/Speed of Light slows with charge density (Time Dilation).
    Velocity: Compresses the lattice=length contraction and higher charge density.
    Black hole: Drags lattice around (frame dragging). Feeding may cause core boundary matter to annihilate to very compact empty lattice (a universe?)
    Hawking Radiation: Annihilated matter frees trapped -ve charge that radiates in all directions, into a black hole core and out of the black hole
    Tunnelling: The intrinsic radial energy of positron and electron charge flow directed in one direction for a brief time, possibly travelling at C2, or even C3
    Particle Entanglement: Particles linked by charge flows.. Stopping a flow at any point in the network breaks entanglement
    Spin: particles (and cells and/or charge flows?) (can) spin (anti)clockwise perpendicular to the direction of travel (due to blocky lattice?)
    __
    Light Blip: Compressed (excess?) -ve charge dipole pulls in cells. Concentrates -ve charge so may deplete voids and add to gravity. Dark Matter?
    Light Wave: Amplitude = number of blipping layers. Shorter wavelength = higher blip frequency = higher wave energy. Velocity = C
    Photo-Electric Effect: Light blips push/pull outer electrons as they pass or hit. Atomic mass and valency effect outer electron-nucleus bond strength
    Photon Entanglement: Subspace charge doing its thing....... I'm not sure. The weakest possible connection.
    --
    Variations of this model can lead to Big Bang or slowly growing and/or Steady State Universes. Also Black Hole Universes in parent universes / The Multiverse... It is quite possible the universe is NOT EXPANDING - perhaps an empty black hole universe took a hit from a very small but fast moving black hole that created a homogeneous field of positrons and electrons or even hydrogen that reacted and collapsed into stars and galaxies with black holes at their centres... It is possible the lattice is compressed in a container (ie. black hole shell) so instead of voids expanding due to loss of -ve base charge gravity wells shrink more sharply. if there is no void expansion from -ve base charge loss and/or big bang momentum frequency shift is likely proportional to galaxy mass - higher mass, higher frequency shift.
    --
    In the standard Big Bang model I don't see the problem with viewing the universe as as the ever-widening shell of an ever-growing sphere, with an ever growing empty core. If the initial explosion petered out over time, with the first ejected matter-energy having more speed and pretty well conserved overall momentum than the last ejected matter-energy space would effectively be expanding. If you see that gravity will work more strongly laterally with other matter travelling at the same speed, in relative motion, you can see how the strands form, where gravity can then do its local centralising thing.
    --
    This isn't any form of science, not even pseudoscience. It is materialist make-believe in-mind modelling minus maths. A Bottom-up approach. There are many possible variations of this BINARY BASE CHARGE FIELD. This variant is a simpler universe to the Standard Model that corrects what seem to me to be obvious fundamental , problematic errors, namely Antimatter-matter and neutrino problem and lack of electro-lumino-gravitational !ETHER! (kind of... mine combines with +ve cells to form a more modern quantum-relativistic lattice field).

    In mathematics, the continuum doesn't help understand infinity. In Complex Analysis, the Riemann Sphere solves the continuum, viewing it as a large circle, with infinite radius, where infinity is at the poles, like the 0 and 1 superposed. Infinity now is like no beginning and no end as on a circle, uniting 0 and infinity, providing deeper insight into uniting QM and GR, moreover it explains Penrose's cyclic big bang theory.

    Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules:
    When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. (More spatial curvature). What if gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks. (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are actually a part of the quarks. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Force" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" make sense based on this concept. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons.
    Does an electron travel through space like a threaded nut traveling down a threaded rod, with each twist cycle proportional to Planck’s Constant? Does it wind up on one end, while unwinding on the other end? Is this related to the Higgs field? Does this help explain the strange ½ spin of many subatomic particles?
    Alpha decay occurs when the two protons and two neutrons (which are bound together by entangled tubes), become un-entangled from the rest of the nucleons
    . Beta decay occurs when the tube of a down quark/gluon in a neutron becomes overtwisted and breaks producing a twisted torus (neutrino) and an up quark, and the ejected electron. The phenomenon of Supercoiling involving twist and writhe cycles may reveal how overtwisted quarks can produce these new particles. The conversion of twists into writhes, and vice-versa, is an interesting process.
    Gamma photons are produced when a tube unwinds producing electromagnetic waves.

    Hopefully this interpretation dumbs it down a bit. NOT a physics/mathematics student so correct me if I'm wrong!
    Basically quantum theory says that before u measure something very small (for example: electrons or molecules, around a nanometer or less in size) it exists as a cloud of possibilities. That means that before u measure something, it can exist anywhere, or not exist at all - before we actually check or measure the outcome there can be any possible outcome.
    If we pick two outcomes of the measurement and call them A and B, then they are both equally probable outcomes - this is the uncertainty principle (e.g. Schrödinger's cat - we don't know anything about the cat until we check -it can be both alive (outcome A) or not alive (outcome B).
    What he proposes is this: if we measure the two outcomes A & B, then according to general relativity both should be affected by gravity. The problem is that if we try to calculate their waveform (?) we end up with two time variables, because gravity involves time (according to general relativity). Squaring time (t^2) is not allowed however! It's illegal according to general relativity for the existence of two vacuums, which is what squaring time would imply.
    So, quantum theory is wrong- or at least lacking a possible MATHEMATICAL answer to this problem of two coexisting time-spaces.
    For what it's worth: I think he's wrong. I think that the uncertainty principle & measuring the outcome can account for two time-spaces. They simply don't exist. As soon as we measure A we have the only outcome that exists. In a similar fashion, we cannot possibly measure whether Schrödinger's cat is alive (A) and not alive (B) at the same time - which is what we need to create the problemwith general relativity.
    Full disclosure: I'm not a physics, math, or philosophy major. This is just my interpretation of what he said :)

    I don't think he is right when he says mathematics is "out there". It is one of the lenses that our minds generated with which we grapple with reality...the part that is "out there", is the part that we are still unconscious of, so it appears as "out there", beyond our command and seemingly exists independent of our minds. The strange, unknown land is actually those aspects of our minds, the realm of our interactions with the world that we are as yet unaware of. We can never know anything of the world that is beyond our interactions with it, but we can come to know that which we interact with but which we have yet to comprehend.

    How can we hope to have a resolution of the apparent incompatibility QT and GR when we have resolution for - the duality of neither light nor matter? Are they some how connected - part and parcel of the same thing? Is the Universe comprised of a superposition of dual realities? Where the hell do electrons "go" in transit from one atomic shell to another?
    I heard a suggestion as to the reasoning of the extra ordinary weakness of gravity compared to the other forces being a possible undetectable dimension into which gravity is leaking. Perhaps electrons pass through this dimension also in the progress of their quantum leaps.

    • @evilsdouble
      @evilsdouble 8 лет назад +1

      Particles below a certain coherency with surroundings begin to find similar places to occupy. Because they begin to occupy multiple places they can travel multiple paths at once as long as they don't become coherent with their surroundings. It's not about the cognitive effect of measuring a particle that breaks the superposition, it's about the quanta that actually measures the questioned particle. An electron that isn't being quantized by light, often used as a measuring particle to make the electron react, will find multiple modes to display the same amount of energy. This is hard to understand, I know, but because particles aren't quantized by their surroundings, spacetime isn't curved enough to tell the difference between the multiple paths the electron is taking, not 'coherent' with a causal measurement yet, that the electron doesn't snap back into reality until spacetime is curved to the point that an event happens. My personal opinion is that all things are waves except for the moment of interaction. and since we live in a steady stream of interaction everything seems like particles.

In my opinion it is possible to define an approximate metric with a cylindrical symmetry which mimics space time near boundary of a galaxy- i.e. one can obtain galaxy rotation curves from geodesic equations , everything within the realm of Einstein's theory. But what really bothers me is that the associated energy momentum tensor may not be physically sensible. Einstein's theory is elegant but too general, not every solutions are physically sensible.
