The Actual Problem
“The credential fight is a diversion. The real problem is that our political system rewards economic rhetoric and punishes economic honesty. Both of the people currently fighting over who has the better degree have participated in policy decisions that serious economists — on both the right and the left — will tell you were bad on their own terms. Killing the census. Flooding CMHC with subprime-style mortgages. Denying the 2008 crisis until political survival demanded the pivot. Income splitting. The GST cuts. Boutique credits. “Freakonomics” as a pandemic plan. Bitcoin advice. Threatening central bank independence. Leaning on a management professor with a podcast to rewrite the incidence of carbon pricing. Killing consumer carbon pricing for electoral convenience. Selectively quoting GDP statistics at market exchange rates.” ~ article

I don’t know physics. It didn’t stop me from trying to understand what made matter. What spurred this mental exercise was perusing through one of my inlaws encyclopedia’s last update volumes in 1986 and stumbling across String Theory. Unfortunately I didn’t understand the math although I had some knowledge of the concepts they used to achieve their findings. Never the less, when I closed the book I said, “that’s nuts.”
Nope I thought if they could get fame and glory with that ridiculous theory then I would construct my own. During this time cosmology was becoming popular, I was delving into science magazines and books to learn more. A lucky break because it lead me to think about Blackholes and why they don’t just disappear. I admit I had this wrong but I associated a Blackhole with a singularity. Scientists have said the laws of physics breakdown at the event horizon, I interpreted this to mean if the mass inside breaks down, it becomes a singularity. So like a lot of others I wondered why they didn’t shrink to infinity, why they can be so huge. I came up with—-Constraints on a neutron stars nuclear structure prevent it from collapsing into a black hole. It will remain a neutron star until it consumes enough mass to achieve *Whatshisnuts’s limit to collapse into a Blackhole. Leading me to question if the Blackholes have a similar constraint, or has it broken matter down to it’s core component, and what the core component is.
You can see how they’re connected, matter and cosmology. All matter and energy erupting out of a single point, the Big Bang, as the scientists told us generically. I tried to visualise a small point spewing out all this,,,this what? It had to be energy and not matter at that scale, but where was it coming from. To create all this universe the where had to be just as immense but, contained in a single point. I tried to picture myself inside this infinitely small single point. The best I can describe it is like being in absolute darkness, there are no compass points to reference, up and down are meaningless. Like when you close your eyes, you’re awareness is not trapped in your head, it expands beyond. The only sensation you feel is the property of a singularity being infinitely small.
I was going to try to visualise this by gluing a ball on a stick to the inside of a paper bag representing the singularity. Imagining I was the ball inside the bag, being turned inside out. If the opening of the bag was the opening into this universe, as the energy of the singularity was expelled outwards, the bag opening became the portal and the inside wall was now the outside of the singularity. It wasn’t perfect but, it gave me a point of view to examine this further. From here the task was to try and explain how this all worked. Spoiler alert: Not like a paper bag at all.
Back inside the singularity there was only one force, which was to be infinitely small, I called it gravity and part of it’s property is time or the ability to change. Could gravity alone cause this to happen and I thought no, there would have to be a catalyst. The conclusion I came to is time was the catalyst. I abandoned the concept of the singularity being physically small on the inside and thought of it as a universe. In it we have the energy of gravity trying to be small, and suppose there were currents and waves of regions where gravity became stronger and others less. Nothing happens without time enabling transformation to happen. Under the rules in this universe time slows in relation to the increasing strength of the gravitational force effecting it. Combined with the fluctuating strength of gravity induced by the waves and currents and times ability to slow. A perfect storm of sorts, created a situation where time stopped and created a point.
A point cannot exist in a singularity I thought and reasoned the singularity would try pull it apart. The energy expelled to do this turned the point into a portal that released some of the energy into the creation of this universe. It created such an instability inside the singularity it spawned a runaway creation of these point portals, until the energy of the singularity could stabilise. Leaving what’s left of the singularity as a battery of sorts. This in my interpretation is the Big Bang.
The core component of everything in this universe are these newly created portal spheres in a three dimensional universe. They all exhibit the same properties of gravity, and time, but has evolved into space time, s-time, expanding outwards. We know gravity follows the inverse square law in that it’s strength weakens with distance. I propose s-time follows a similar constraint, only it’s strength falls at a slower rate. I call these portal spheres ib’s and the name is not capitalised to represent it’s minute size.
There’s a lot of debate as to what time is, whether it is a force or medium, if it exists at all. I choose to believe it is functioning as a repelling force, pushing outwards creating space at the speed of light. You could think of it as a carrier wave streaming the state of the ib and it’s gravitational attraction, yes I know everyone calls them gravity waves.
Picture an ib in a totally dark room and you were small enough to visibly see it. Since it doesn’t have light of it’s own imagine it as a fuzzy white sphere just floating. If another was in the room would they mutually attract each other. Drawing together through gravitational pull, and the s-time force prevents them from merging. They form a bond, and their union makes them spin. I call this a first level ib-1 system. Already it has changed in description, gaining twice the energy of a single ib. When an ib-1 combines with another or a single to become a ib-2 and the description updates and it’s spin increases. The systems evolve in complexity at each step until they become discoverable and some brainiac names them something stupid like leptons. A comparison would be how many steps it takes from binary code to an elementary particle in the device your reading this from.
The spin has always intrigued me because of a tunnelling microscope image of atoms I saw. They appeared as a layer of tightly packed spheres, yet I knew they were mostly empty space. Was it the spin of the electrons or what the accumulation of the atoms spinning systems created. I call it a field, created from the concentrated gravitational effect and the spin of the systems slowing the speed of time within. From my point of view the same properties we see at this scale of speed still relate to the effects of s-time at ib level scales. To the tunnelling microscope the border of the field would appear as a sphere.
Anti-particles I don’t believe exist. Instead I think in one of the ib-levels a change, made the next level and future levels antagonistic to the major population of systems. It would explain why you don’t see many of them, they are mutations and probably only occur in events like the Hadron Collider. When this anti-particle comes in contact with a particle, they don’t implode, they explode. The misconception is they breakdown the component systems to the level where the mutation is gone. They were still there but not discoverable. Another instance of this is well known, dark matter. A concentrated mass of ib systems would explain the gravitational effects astronomers and physicists are trying to explain.
The solution to Dark Energy could be explained by gravities rate of weakening compared to the slower rate of s-time’s pushing.
The universe’s missing mass is another domino and speaking of mass, Black Holes. Can a Black Hole collapse into a deeper state is a wonderful question.
My current puzzle is the accelerating expansion of the universe. The current theory is the universe will continue to expand forever into a cold dark universe. My thinking is, what a waste of space. What condition could change as every ib became a solitary entity losing contact with other ib’s.
One of the features of my mental exercise I realised was the duality of the singularity. The gravitational property of the host singularity, and time allowing it to evolve. Post Big Bang, defining the ib, gravity attracting, and s-time now repulsive defining it’s unbreachable border. The carrier stream propelled by s-time carrying the gravitational pull of the ib. It reminded me of electricity, positive and negative, only push and pull. I imagine the carrier stream as both positive and negative, expanding space until they reach the end of their strength. Visually a ripple in water expanding outwards, the front edge s-time and the trailing negative, fading as their strength decreases and when gravity finally fails? Then this preposterous idea, if gravity fails then the connection is broken, s-time cannot exist without gravity, they are the same force. Can it switch polarity?
As I mentioned in the beginning this is a thought exercise and basically fiction created on what I understand of science. It’s maddening though, now every time I read a science journal I try to see if it fits with my thought experiment, or my te would better explain it. Getting older and more scatter brained doesn’t help, I’m confusing te with the real science now lol
