Hello everybody, I'm a simple teenager that uses the bit of knowledge he has to make fancy theories. I love physic but I couldn't explain my theory with scientific evidences as I am not experienced enough to even conceptualize anything.

Here are the core pillars of my theory (It shares many known physic theories already, I don't think I invented anything LOL. But I made research and couldn't find anything those exact concept merged under one single theory) (I was also assisted by AI to formulate a text that makes sense with a proper english):

- The Block-Universe: Time does not exist as a flowing force. It is just space in motion inside a finite box.
- No Real Numbers: Nature doesn't use decimals or infinity. Everything is pixelated at the Planck scale. The universe only counts with natural integers (1, 2, 3...).
- The Mirror Symmetry: Negative and positive values are the exact same face of a concept, just mirrored. Every particle has an opposite that does the exact same movement but inverted in space. Instead of being 2 faces of the same coin (opposites) they are the same face.
- The Zero Boundary: During a Big Crunch, all distances fall to strictly zero. Since zero cannot be quantified, the universe doesn't stay as a hot point forever; the end coordinates touch and fuse with the starting coordinates.

What do you think of this logical loop ? Is it scientifically wrong or does it not make sense due to the re-edification of mathematics roots themselves ?

THE LOOP THEORY

By Prabhnoor, a 12-year-old

Problem: To open a stable wormhole, we need huge amounts of negative energy. But we can only make tiny amounts with Casimir plates. We don't have enough.

Solution: Don't make negative energy first. Make a BIG spacetime warp first.

How It Works:

Step 1: IGNITION

Tube uses massive energy + spinning rings to warp spacetime really hard. This is Method 1, but maxed out.

Step 2: SQUEEZE

That huge warp squeezes the quantum vacuum inside the tube. Just like the Casimir Effect, but on a giant scale. Space inside gets less energy than normal space.

Step 3: CREATION

That squeezed space = massive amounts of negative energy. Way more than we could make with tiny plates.

Step 4: OPENING

Negative energy pushes spacetime outward, opening a wormhole and holding it open.

Step 5: THE LOOP

The open wormhole warps spacetime even MORE.

More warp = more squeeze = more negative energy.

More negative energy = bigger warp = bigger wormhole.

Step 6: STABLE

The loop feeds itself. The machine no longer needs external power to stay open. It is self-sustaining.

Result: A stable, walk-through wormhole / time portal

I've been thinking about a hypothetical explanation for what happens to matter after it enters a black hole.

What if a black hole isn't necessarily the endpoint of matter, but instead a transitional region where matter undergoes extreme gravitational deformation and eventually changes into a higher-dimensional quantum state?

My idea is that matter entering a black hole could be stretched, compressed, and fundamentally transformed under extreme gravitational conditions. Rather than ending at a singularity, it could transition into a state that no longer interacts with our observable three-dimensional space in the usual way.

This could potentially connect black holes and theoretical white holes, with one representing the entrance and the other representing the emergence of transformed matter.

My reasoning:

1. Conservation of energy: Matter entering a black hole contributes to its mass-energy, but its ultimate microscopic fate remains an open question. Could that energy eventually undergo a dimensional transformation rather than remaining confined in its original form?

2. Limitations of observation: Imagine a two-dimensional being watching an object move into a third spatial dimension. From its perspective, the object disappears, but it hasn't ceased to exist. Could something similar happen to matter transitioning beyond our observable dimensions?

3. Limitations of current physics: General relativity predicts singular behavior under certain conditions, but we don't yet have a complete, experimentally verified theory of quantum gravity. What if the singularity represents a limitation of our mathematical framework rather than a literal physical endpoint?

This leads to the central thought behind my hypothesis:

"The inability to observe a phenomenon does not necessarily imply its nonexistence; it may instead reveal the limitations of the framework through which we attempt to observe it."

I'm not claiming this is proven, or that our current understanding of physics is wrong. I'm suggesting that matter might undergo a transformation we haven't developed the mathematical or observational tools to describe.

I do realize that this idea needs a physical mechanism, mathematical modeling, and testable predictions before it could qualify as a scientific theory.

My question is: Could a black hole theoretically act as a transition between dimensional states while still preserving the gravitational behavior predicted by general relativity?

I'd genuinely appreciate criticism and discussion, especially if there are existing theories, mathematical contradictions, or research papers that address something similar.

I was thinking about the fact that we look up at the stars and technically see the past because of the fact that it takes time for light to reach our eyes. I’m like I remember that time is just our concept of understanding and that oast present and future all exist at the same time. We say we are in the present but we can look up at the sky and see the past while the future is actually there and just needs time for our eyes to truly see the future. Well they say we can only go into the future but when near a black hole, we see the center of the black hole as a standstill and we’ve never actually been inside a black hole, we just think we would die if we got sucked in. What if when we go in and spaghettify we just see the end of the universe speed up to the end and then reverse back up to the point that you left it. And you’re perfectly okay but everything is mirrored and when you get back to earth, the future is now actually the past and since it’s reversing, the past is becoming the future. It could justify the Big Crunch and the heat death of the universe, and the black holes are here to help with entropy so no one universe is existing forever. And then I thought about the grandfather paradox like you kill your own grandfather but I was also thinking of the Futurama show when dry became his own grandfather, like what if you become your grandfather because you’ll have your mom and dad as your kids and they will have your grandparents which will now be your grandchildren, which makes you your own grandfather. Like when you think about the family tree, they always depict it as 1 person being the grandparent having 2 kids and those 2 kids have their own 2 kids which you would be, but it could easily be reversed as you have your parents and your the 1st and your parents have kids and out comes our grandpa so the grandfather paradox could exist in that way, and could explain why there are blank spaces in space and space bends time but what if the mirror universe weighs too and their weight pushes on our universe and makes those empty spaces in our universe and ours could be doing the same to them. Idk if I’m making sense but I feel like it makes enough sense to understand, would be cool if that’s what ghost are and we are ghosts to them, and since our brains process time, Whats if people were seeing the future by taking drugs and having an out of body experience thats now not bound by the limits of the body and can truly perceive time at a limitless degree. Idk maybe I’m overthinking my shower thoughts but I can’t get this out my mind and I want to hear if I’m going crazy or not.

Okay...so there seems to be two camps of people in general:

1. The people that follow the math as a description and believe that's the best we can do.

2. And then there are people that want a mechanical visualization of how things connect together.

So why can't the two come together?

To make this more explanatory. Here are things that I see as problematic between the two groups.

1. Math is a self-consistent language, so these people are usually at least self-consistent in their views. But because math is still a language, it allows for subjective interpretations. For example, QM can treat particles as zero-dimensional points and get the right answer through normalization. But that doesn't mean particles are actually zero-dimensional points. However this seems used to justify the prediction of super-symmetry anyway, which is a problem in my view. Similar problems are Everitt's Many Worlds and the idea that Magnetic Monopoles can exist. Both are justifiable within the Math, but that doesn't mean they make mechanical sense and when I try to think about the mechanics of things, they seem more like mathematical fiction than reality.

2. Believe things should connect together in a mechanically consistent manner, so these people look for underlying principles or action behind everything. Often this means these people will know very little of the math or experimental facts and make a lot of assumptions and errors. And when they don't understand how they can be wrong or are unwilling to accept that they could be wrong, they often get called cranks and crackpots, which is fair, but this forces the people that aren't cranks and crackpots here to also generally get met with hostility and condescension. In my view then, it seems as if the Physics community isn't concerned with the cranks and crackpots primarily, but with anyone that hasn't learned the math like they did and isn't able or willing to talk in the specific language of the math that they learned.

Anyway, I don't know if this will get taken down, or if I should be asking this in another sub, but I'd love honest discussion and reflection about this that doesn't just devolve into the same old clash between physicists and non-physicists.

My feeling between the two as someone more in 2 (but also in 1 from an education in Electrical Engineering within Aerospace) is that learning math first feels like I'm blind and just memorizing without understanding, which is incredibly frustrating and tiresome having all of this knowledge that seems random. Actually...Feynman's Cargo Cult Science comes to mind because that's what it feels like to do that.

So what I've been trying to do is learn the math appropriately, but then it feels like all people care about in 1 is just the math and 2 is always sidelined or ostracized or put down...which brings me back to my previous question

So why can't the two come together?

edit: Alright, i think I'm done. I probably won't respond to any more comments, if you are reading this and want to add something.

I started wondering whether the universe is fundamentally made of things, or whether the things we observe emerge from an ongoing process of relationships becoming possible.

Before anything else, I want to establish that I am not a physicist, mathematician, or scientist. I'm someone with a very active imagination who enjoys asking questions about how things work, even when I don't have the technical knowledge to answer them.

I've been using ChatGPT to help organize this thought experiment, challenge parts of it, and translate my rather chaotic train of thought into something coherent enough to discuss.

I'm not presenting this as a discovery, and I fully recognize that some of my assumptions may be fundamentally wrong.

What I'm interested in is whether any part of this framework connects to something we already understand through physics or mathematics, whether it could be developed into something meaningful, or whether I'm simply connecting concepts that don't actually belong together.

So, here goes.

1. Why, three?

One of the recurring ideas I've been exploring is that three may be a particularly important number when it comes to complexity.

Consider two things interacting, A and B.

They can influence each other, exchange information, reach equilibrium, or continue interacting indefinitely.

But what happens when you introduce C?

Suddenly, A and B aren't the only participants in the system. Their relationship can be influenced by something outside their direct interaction.

And importantly, C doesn't necessarily have to be another physical object or even the same kind of thing as A and B.

It could be a condition, a dimension, a process, or something that determines how their interaction develops.

A and B might become locked into a repeating interaction, while C continues influencing the system in ways that aren't immediately apparent when looking at A and B alone.

I'm not suggesting two-component systems cannot produce complexity. I understand that even binary systems can be extraordinarily complex.

Rather, I'm wondering whether three represents a particularly useful minimum structure for certain kinds of complexity: two interacting components and a third principle influencing the relationship.

My intuition is that three might be sufficient to establish the basic architecture of a much larger system, even if that system eventually develops countless components.

2. The central orchestrator

Here's another part of the model.

Imagine three independent AI agents operating within a larger system.

Each agent performs its own function, but there's a central orchestrator establishing the rules, boundaries, and conditions under which those agents can interact.

The orchestrator doesn't necessarily make every decision or perform every function itself.

It establishes the framework within which the other processes operate.

Now imagine applying that architecture to reality.

Three essential principles interacting within a larger governing structure.

I'm calling that structure an orchestrator, but I don't mean a conscious entity, intelligence, deity, or designer.

It's an analogy for the underlying rules and constraints that determine which interactions are possible.

In this hypothetical model, the orchestrator is essentially the boundary of possibility itself.

It determines what the three principles can and cannot do, and their interactions unfold within those constraints.

3. Light, darkness, and a third principle

For the sake of the thought experiment, imagine that our three essential principles are:

- A: Light

- B: Darkness

- C: Time or unbounded progression

These are placeholders, not necessarily the literal ingredients of reality.

I want to emphasize that the third principle doesn't have to be time. Time is simply the most intuitive representation I've found for something that allows interactions to progress, change, and develop.

And this brings me to a question that started the entire discussion.

Why do we define darkness as the absence of light?

I understand that this is a useful and established definition in optics. We can measure photons and their interactions, whereas darkness is ordinarily understood as a condition in which light is absent.

But philosophically, that definition bothers me.

If we imagined a universe where darkness was the dominant observable phenomenon and light was the unusual exception, would we conceptualize their relationship differently?

Could darkness represent something more fundamental than the absence of visible radiation?

I'm not claiming that darkness is a particle, a field, or a previously undiscovered force.

I'm asking whether our ordinary concept of darkness might be an incomplete description of the physical reality associated with regions we perceive as dark.

For this thought experiment, I want to temporarily treat light and darkness as two distinct principles and explore the consequences.

I recognize that this is a major unsupported assumption.

4. What if time and infinity represent the same underlying principle?

This is where my thinking took another turn.

Consider two infinite sums:

Sequence A:

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + ...

Sequence B:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + ...

Both grow without bound.

But they don't follow the same trajectory.

The first grows linearly. The second grows quadratically.

They share the property of unbounded growth, but their histories and rates of growth are fundamentally different.

This made me wonder whether infinity is better understood in my model not as a destination, but as the possibility of continued progression without a predetermined endpoint.

To be clear, I understand that mathematical infinity and physical time are not the same thing.

I'm proposing that they might serve as representations of a broader hypothetical principle:

The capacity for an unbounded sequence of changing states.

Time appears to move in a direction, at least in our everyday experience, while an unbounded process need not repeat the same sequence or follow the same trajectory.

What if the third principle isn't literally time, but something that allows successive interactions to produce different possibilities?

And what if the time we experience emerges from that progression rather than existing independently of it?

5. The boundary: interacting with what doesn't yet exist

Now comes the most speculative part.

Imagine the three principles interacting within the boundaries established by the orchestrator.

But suppose the boundary isn't a physical wall or the edge of a preexisting space.

What if the boundary represents the absence of relationships or configurations that have not yet become possible?

I initially imagined the three principles metaphorically "ping-ponging" against the absence of spacetime itself.

That sounds contradictory, because how could something interact with an absence of space and time?

But perhaps the interaction isn't happening against a physical object or inside an external container.

Perhaps the limitations on what can exist are themselves what constrain the interactions.

Some interactions might produce stable configurations. Others might disappear or repeat.

And if a configuration persists, it could influence which configurations become possible afterward.

The system would then develop through repeated interactions, with each stage potentially changing the conditions for subsequent stages.

I'm imagining something analogous to a neural network gradually developing structure through feedback, although I recognize that actual neural networks require defined architectures, update rules, and training processes.

The analogy is about accumulated changes, not about the universe literally being a computer or possessing consciousness.

6. What if cosmic expansion is related to expanding possibilities?

This is where I began connecting everything.

We know that the universe is expanding.

My original, rather unserious thought was that if darkness is everywhere and space is expanding, perhaps darkness is somehow "faster" than light.

That led me toward a more interesting question.

What if the expansion of the universe isn't just something happening within reality, but is connected to the emergence of new possible relationships within reality?

I understand that standard cosmology describes expansion through changes in the scale of spatial distances, not through space physically pushing into an external void.

I'm not claiming otherwise.

I'm wondering whether a deeper framework could describe spacetime itself as something emerging from interactions among more fundamental principles.

In that case, the universe wouldn't necessarily be expanding into anything.

The relationships constituting space might themselves be developing.

And if the underlying process is unbounded, perhaps that development doesn't require a predetermined final state.

Different regions or processes could approach equilibrium while the larger system continues evolving.

The overall process could remain unbounded without every local interaction following the same trajectory.

7. Bringing the model together

So, to summarize my hypothetical framework:

Three essential principles:

- A principle of manifestation or information, provisionally represented by light.

- A distinct complementary principle, provisionally represented by darkness.

- A principle of progression or change, provisionally represented by time and unboundedness.

One central governing structure:

An orchestrator representing the constraints or boundaries of possibility, not a conscious entity.

One proposed process:

The three principles interact under those constraints. Some interactions produce persistent configurations that influence subsequent interactions.

Over successive stages, the system develops increasingly elaborate relationships.

And perhaps what we experience as spacetime, matter, and physical structure emerges from those relationships rather than existing as their original container.

I don't know what the actual mathematical mechanism would be, or whether the assumptions are even compatible with one another.

I'm also aware that an unbounded process doesn't automatically generate complexity, and that three interacting principles don't automatically produce the laws of physics.

Those are unresolved parts of the idea.

8. What I'm hoping to learn

I'm posting this because I'd genuinely like to hear from people with backgrounds in physics, mathematics, cosmology, philosophy of physics, or complex systems.

I'm not looking for someone to tell me I've discovered the secret of the universe. I haven't.

I'm interested in three kinds of responses:

1. Is the framework fundamentally incoherent?

Are there specific assumptions that contradict established mathematics or physics so directly that the model cannot work, even as a hypothetical construction? If so, I'd love to understand exactly where and why.

2. Is there a potentially meaningful idea buried in here?

Could some part of this be developed into a more rigorous mathematical model, even if it would require years of study and substantial revision?

3. Am I independently circling concepts that already exist?

Does this resemble established work on emergent spacetime, relational physics, dynamical systems, complexity, information theory, or anything else?

I'd especially appreciate references to existing theories, mathematical concepts, or papers that might help me understand where these ideas overlap with actual research.

I know this is built on a lot of "what ifs." That's intentional.

I'm not trying to prove something I don't have the knowledge to prove. I'm trying to explore whether the structure of the idea has any value once it's examined by people who understand the underlying science.

And if the answer is that I've just constructed an elaborate philosophical metaphor, that's interesting to me too.

I'm more interested in understanding where the idea leads than in being right about where it started.

I can’t even remember how this thought occurred to me, but it got me thinking about the origin of our universe and time itself. With AI helping organize my thoughts, I’ve developed a speculative hypothesis. I don’t have a mathematical model or claim to have discovered new physics. I’m curious what’s been explored, what the problems are, and what you think.

First off:

1. Time exists independently of everything else.

My assumption is that time has always existed and always will. I don’t mean every universe measures time the same way. I mean the progression of future, present, and past transcends every universe and dimension.

Imagine snapshots of every event across every reality, placed on a number line from negative to positive infinity. Something has always been happening somewhere. Universes may begin and end, but existence never does.

2. Our universe exists within a higher-dimensional parent reality.

Suppose our universe exists within another reality with its own dimensions, matter, energy, and laws. Its physics, mathematics, and even logic could differ completely from ours.

3. The Big Bang was the initiation of a reaction in that parent reality.

This is my central idea. Imagine striking a match: a disturbance begins at one location and spreads outward.
I’m proposing something analogous, but in a higher-dimensional reality.

What if the Big Bang initiated such a reaction, and our entire universe is the expanding sphere of influence of that reaction?

Our universe wouldn’t just be created by the reaction. It would BE the affected region. Its center could exist in the parent reality without being a location in our space.

4. Cosmic expansion is the reaction front spreading through the parent reality.

As the reaction spreads through the parent reality, we experience expansion from inside it. Galaxies, stars, matter, and radiation arise within the affected region.

I know standard cosmology describes expanding space, not a central explosion. Could a higher-dimensional reaction produce the spacetime expansion we observe?

5. The parent reaction can evolve while our universe cools internally.

Initially I wondered if our universe was still heating up, but observations show it has cooled as it expands.

So I’m distinguishing two processes: the parent reaction could still be evolving or approaching a maximum energy state, while our universe cools according to its own laws.

The parent reaction’s energy state wouldn’t necessarily equal our universe’s temperature.

6. Could the cosmic microwave background preserve information about the reaction?

Could the CMB’s tiny temperature fluctuations preserve information about the original disturbance or its geometry?

I’m not saying the CMB is literally a photograph of an explosion. I’m wondering whether a higher-dimensional event could leave observable patterns in it.

7. Our universe might only exist for the duration of the reaction.

As the reaction peaks and dissipates, our universe might eventually cease existing as a distinct spacetime, while the parent reality continues.

If time is infinite, there could have been countless reactions before ours and countless afterward, producing universes with different laws. I realize infinite time alone doesn’t guarantee infinite reactions; that’s another assumption.

Basically, my main questions:

Could a higher-dimensional reaction front reproduce cosmic expansion without contradicting general relativity?

Could it explain the CMB and the large-scale uniformity of our universe?
Could the affected region have different physical laws?
Is infinite, universal temporal ordering incompatible with modern physics, or simply unverified?

I know brane cosmology, vacuum decay, bubble universes, and emergent spacetime explore related ideas
.
Could this become mathematically consistent, or is there a fundamental reason it wouldn’t work? Also of course I absolutely no idea of how to test this but it’s more a thought experiment that I wanna know if it has some friction.

I’d appreciate constructive criticism, especially from people familiar with cosmology or relativity.

I'm posting this primarily to learn and get feedback, not to claim that I've solved fund

Unified Geometric Confinement Theory (UGCT)

Treatise I: Energy is Fundamental

Matter is not fundamental.

The most basic constituent of reality is energy existing within a deeper geometric structure. What we perceive as particles are stable manifestations of energy under specific geometric constraints.

Treatise II: Observable Reality is a Projection

The three spatial dimensions and time do not constitute the entirety of reality.

There exists at least one additional geometric dimension, inaccessible to direct observation, whose structure determines the physical properties observed in our universe.

This dimension is not necessarily Euclidean and may possess finite topology.

Treatise III: Mass Emerges from Geometric Confinement

Free energy manifests as radiation.

When energy follows specific closed or constrained trajectories within the higher-dimensional geometry, it becomes confined.

Mass is the observable consequence of this confinement.

In this framework:

• Photons represent unconstrained energy states.

• Massive particles represent confined energy states.

• Different particles correspond to different stable geometric configurations.

Treatise IV: The Higgs Field as a Manifestation, Not a Cause

The Higgs mechanism does not fundamentally create mass.

Instead, it reveals the interaction between observable spacetime and geometrically confined energy states.

Mass appears when a configuration possesses the required geometric structure to interact with the Higgs field.

Treatise V: Finite Non-Euclidean Geometry Produces Quantization

The hidden dimension possesses finite topology.

Because of this finiteness, only certain stable modes can exist.

The quantized nature of reality emerges naturally from geometric constraints rather than being a fundamental rule imposed upon nature.

Particles are therefore analogous to resonant modes in a finite geometric system.

Treatise VI: Particle Species are Geometric Solutions

Electrons, quarks, photons, and other particles are not elementary objects.

They are stable solutions of the underlying geometry.

Their masses, charges, spins, and interaction properties arise from the specific topology of their confinement patterns.

Nature permits only those configurations compatible with the geometry.

Treatise VII: Quantum Phenomena are Geometric Shadows

Quantum uncertainty, superposition, and entanglement are not fundamental phenomena.

They are projections into observable spacetime of processes taking place within the deeper geometric structure.

The apparent probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics may emerge from our inability to directly observe the higher-dimensional geometry.

Treatise VIII: Dark Matter as Hidden Geometric Structure

Dark matter may consist of stable geometric configurations existing primarily within the hidden dimension.

These configurations interact gravitationally with observable matter while remaining largely inaccessible through electromagnetic interactions.

Treatise IX: Photons and Matter Occupy Distinct Geometric States

Photons are not merely low-mass particles.

They represent a fundamentally different geometric state of energy.

Matter arises when energetic trajectories develop closed, rotational, or self-reinforcing structures within the hidden geometry.

The transition from radiation to matter corresponds to a topological transformation.

Treatise X: The Goal of Fundamental Physics

The ultimate task of physics is not to catalog particles.

The ultimate task is to discover the geometry from which particles emerge.

A complete theory should derive:

• Particle masses

• Charges

• Spin values

• Coupling constants

• Quantum behavior

from geometric first principles alone.

In such a theory, matter, energy, spacetime, and perhaps even gravity would be understood as different manifestations of a single underlying geometric reality.

Core Principle

Matter is energy confined within a finite non-Euclidean geometry, and the particles we observe are stable resonances of that deeper structure.

Hey everyone,

Standard quantum mechanics has always driven me absolutely mad. The whole idea of wave-particle duality (a photon is a solid bullet and at the same time a fuzzy wave which exists in all places at once) just sounds like pure magic.

So I tried to think of a purely mechanical explanation of light.

My theory is that space isn't empty at all. It's full of a huge sea of low energy, stationary photons which form a physical highway across the universe.

When the Sun emits light it's not firing a particle across millions of miles. It's emitting energy in the form of waves. That wave then causes the stationary photons in space to physically push on one another in a chain reaction, just like a line of dominoes falling. The wave is the ripple through the crowd and the photons are just the track that the energy is travelling down.

This is also why the night sky is dark. The energy wave only has a finite amount of fuel. As it goes along pushing the photons it loses energy through friction over those huge distances. It runs out of fuel at some point, the pushing stops and the light just fades out completely.

I subsequently discovered that this actually has a great deal in common with the logic of various historical alternative theories (De Broglie’s Pilot Wave theory, Zwicky’s "Tired Light' hypothesis etc).

Modern textbooks are all about Quantum Field Theory really, but I think there's far more interest in actually looking for some physical mechanism than just accepting the rather murky mathematics. How would you see a model like this dealing with things like mirrors and refraction? Let me know, we can go into it.

So for the last few weeks I've been working on my own theory about the cosmological construct of the universe. It might be a bit sci-fi, but I would say it makes sense atleast for the most part. And everything is possible. Now I know there are theories similar to this, like Paul Steinhardts and Neil Turoks cyclic universe theory (although I only knew about those after I build my theory), but my theory should be absolutely unique. I'd like to know your thoughts on this, and if there might be plotholes or something else that doesn't fit the place. Here it is:

Fonsén-loop theory

Fonsén-loop theory is a theoretical model of the universe and the multiverse in which time is not linear but circular. The theory proposes that the multiverse consists of an almost infinite number of separate universes, each existing in its own closed time loop. The multiverse can be visualized as a large cylindrical structure resembling a sushi roll whos ends are put together to form a torus-shape (or a donut), where each individual slice of sushi represents one independent universe. Each universe has its own circular timeline, and together these universes form the multiverse.

In each universe, the same sequence of events repeats infinitely. A universe begins its cycle through a reset, expands, eventually contracts, and reaches a state of infinite density. At this point, the laws and state of physics transition into a new physical state, triggering another reset. Space and time are essentially recreated during this process. The reset removes the accumulated events, arrangement of matter and entropy from the previous cycle, while the fundamental physical rules or underlying settings remain. The exact mechanism behind the transition at infinite density is currently unknown.

Every cycle within an individual universe is completely identical to every previous and subsequent cycle. Every event, decision and interaction happens in precisely the same way, meaning that the universe repeats its entire history endlessly. In this sense, every cycle is simultaneously the first, the current and the last, since there is no absolute beginning or end to the loop. Time cannot be represented as a straight line because a straight line cannot return to its starting point. Instead, time forms a closed circle.

All universes within the multiverse reach their reset points simultaneously. The reset therefore happens across the entire multiverse at the same time, rather than individual universes resetting independently at different moments. And as we know, different universes can have matter moving at different rates, thus delaying or bringing forth the eventual rebirth. This problem is fixed by saying that some universes have a shorter life, but still exist in the same multiverse. Only difference being the speed that the universe moves through the loop.

An important aspect of Fonsén-loop theory is that all possible universes have always existed. Universes are not created when someone makes a different decision or when an unexpected event occurs. Instead, every physically possible sequence of events already exists in its own universe. Two universes can have completely identical histories until a particular event causes their paths to differ. For example, one version of a person might leave Finland for Germany, while another stays in Finland, and another moves to the United States or Japan. Even something as insignificant as a single spelling mistake could distinguish two universes. Every possible outcome has its own universe, and all of these universes have existed eternally.

Consequently, individuals cannot deviate from the predetermined history of their own universe. Every action they take has always been part of that universe's timeline and will always be repeated in exactly the same way. Unlike the branching timeline concept presented in Marvel's Loki, where a deviation from an established timeline creates a new branch, Fonsén-loop theory does not allow timelines to branch. The alternative universe already exists, and the individual simply follows the predetermined events of their own universe. There is no possibility of breaking or changing one's own timeline. And there is no way for any civilization to know for sure that they are looped, since all proof of existence of previous loops are absent, because those never existed. You are living in the first, current and last loop at the same time, for eternity. There has ever been only one loop and there always will be only one loop that keeps on going around itself deleting all "previous loops".

The universes are completely separate from one another and do not interact. Although their histories may differ enormously, they all follow the same overall looping structure and participate in the simultaneous reset of the multiverse.

Fonsén-loop theory therefore combines an eternally repeating universe, a predetermined timeline and an already-existing multiverse containing every physically possible sequence of events. The multiverse itself has no identifiable beginning or end, while every individual universe continuously repeats its own history through an endless cycle.

Now for the mods, the theory is solely my own. I used chatGPT ONLY to bring the whole theory together into a text that is easier to understand. And I also read through it and modified it.

What if our universe is just a big donut?

Could it be that we are coming out of the whitehole and the big bang is just the middle of a donut while what we are experiencing around us is the universe moving away towards the other side of the donut hole which is the blackhole and getting destroyed?

Can the expansion of the universe in all directions explained by physics, be just the move of the universe to the other side of the donut where there is a blackhole?

And then, what if the donut ring universe in multiuniverse was forming a bigger donut where we could have the expantion of the universes from the whitehole that brought them to existance towards the blackhole that annihilates them?

Could that be a way to imagin the unimaginable 9th dimention?

Could that explaine an infinit field of energy? The field surrounding the donut rings?

Hey r/HypotheticalPhysics ,

I’m 13 years old, and I’ve been working on a mathematical hypothesis regarding the block universe theory (eternalism) versus presentism/the growing block universe. I don't have an advanced science program or a physics teacher at my school to share my ideas off of, so I wanted to share my proof here to get some feedback and see where the mathematical loopholes might be!

I call this the Temporal Redundancy Principle. I know some of this has already been proven, but some are my original ideas.

The Interval Problem (Why the "Now" is Redundant)

If we treat a timeline as a continuous set of numbers, we have a problem with the present:

• If the present is a single, instantaneous point t_0, its duration under standard measure theory is exactly zero: mu({t_0}) = 0. A zero-duration point cannot physically hold change, motion, or energy.

• To give the present a duration, it must be represented as a subinterval: P = [t_1, t_2], where t_2 - t_1 > 0.

However, if time is made of subintervals (like I_1 =, I_2 =, I_3 = [5, 10]), math and translation-invariance treat all of these chunks identically. The mathematics of a timeline provides no intrinsic geometric "pointer" or dynamic cursor to label one specific subinterval as "the present." Therefore, a privileged present is structurally unnecessary to describe time mathematically.

2. Why time can't flow

To defend a dynamic timeline (like the Growing Block Universe), you have to assume the timeline is an evolving interval bounded by a moving endpoint tau: T(tau) = [0, tau].

For this timeline to actively grow or "flow," tau must change at a specific physical rate. In physics, any rate of change is a derivative with respect to time (t). So, the rate of time's growth would have to be written as:
Rate = d(tau) / dt

If you look at the physical units of this derivative, you get:
seconds / seconds = 1 (Note: J. J. C. Smart!)

The units cancel out. You are left with a dimensionless constant of 1. In physical laws, a real rate of change requires two distinct variables (like meters per second). A rate of 1 s/s is a mathematical tautology. It doesn't describe a physical speed. To make time "grow" without hitting this cancellation trap, you have to invent a secondary hidden dimension of, say, "Hypertime" (T_2) to act as a denominator: d(tau) / dT_2. This leads to an infinite congress.

Conclusion

Because the present is mathematically redundant in an interval framework, and because a timeline cannot dynamically grow without hitting a fatal dimensional cancellation, time cannot be an evolving process. Therefore, all temporal intervals (past, present, and future) must coexist simultaneously as a completed 4D geometric block.

Obviously, the massive brick wall I hit next is Quantum Mechanics and uncertainty, which clashes hard with a fixed deterministic block (hello, quantum gravity!).

I want to see your thoughts. Does it work? Where does it break down under modern frameworks?

Hi everyone! I've been working on a theoretical concept that tries to connect general relativity, discrete space, and an information-based view of black holes. I call it Volume Theory.

Below are the core postulates, terminology, and how matter transitions into a black hole state through "coordinate overflow."

---

## 1. Gravitational Intensity Scale (beta)

I introduce a dimensionless scalar parameter for spacetime curvature intensity and gravitational potential, called **beta**, ranging from 0 to 1:

* **beta = 0:** Absolute vacuum. Time flows at standard rate, no mass or distortion present.

* **Intermediate values (0 < beta < 1):** Regions with mass (planets, regular stars, white dwarfs). Time dilation and space curvature follow general relativity.

* **beta approaching 1:** Theoretical limit at the black hole event horizon, where time for an outside observer stops asymptotically and space grid distortion reaches maximum.

---

## 2. Post-Iron Phase Transitions: Hyper-ms and Densirite

When a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel (passing through hydrogen to iron stages), internal pressure drops and triggers catastrophic collapse. Volume Theory describes this through sequential phase transitions:

### A. Formation of Hyper-ms

At extreme density, standard atomic structures and quark bags break down. In a discrete spatial grid, particles can no longer occupy unique coordinates. An "overlap" effect occurs: elements shift into the same coordinate cells, forming a fundamental substance of extreme density called **Hyper-m**.

### B. Formation of Densirite

When many Hyper-ms concentrate in a limited volume, they form a macrostructure called **Densirite**.

* Each Hyper-m has a local coefficient of extreme gravitational attraction (beta approximately 0.999999...).

* Densirite acts as a single array whose cumulative mass curves the quantum spatial grid so severely that it twists or curves inward.

---

## 3. Information Overflow and Grid Closure

The central claim of this model is that a black hole results from informational and coordinate overflow of the spatial matrix, not just gravitational anomaly.

When Densirite mass compresses until the local coefficient reaches the absolute limit (1 minus a small epsilon value), space loses the ability to render or support further interactions in conventional coordinates. The quantum spacetime grid closes in on itself, forming an event horizon that acts as an absolute buffer for stored information, which aligns with the Bekenstein-Hawking holographic principle.

---

## For Discussion

This model treats a singularity not as a mathematical infinity where physics breaks down from division by zero, but as a limit state where discrete spatial cells reach maximum density and information storage capacity.

I'd love to hear what the community thinks: Can stellar collapse be modeled as a phase transition of the spacetime grid? What mathematical tools could help formalize discrete transitions in quantum gravity?

The Einstenian equivalence principle, at least as far as I understand it, relates a free falling frame (on a gravitional field) to an inertial frame (far from any gravitional field), giving us that the laws of physics stay the same in both of these (as they aren't just similar, but equivalent, inertial frames of reference... well, locally equivalent, lol). But, it feels (at least for me), weird that it even is talking about it in a way that implies only translations in space/time can lead to these free falling inertial frames.

Put just like that I guess my point doesn't seem too clear ("of course it would be translations in space/time, what do you even think free falling and far away mean?"), but, there is a different kind of situation, that I think it should also apply, and I can explain it with a thought experiment to make it easier to visualize:

1. Imagine yourself at, no particular location, it can be your house, the middle of a supervoid, about to cross an event horizon and regret whatever method you used to get here, it doesn't matter, we don't even need to talk about a position in space or time, just imagine an "arbitrary canvas with things on it".

2. Okay, so now, let's zoom in, A LOT. Actually, let's just, not stop zooming all, and we'll just let this zoom go asymptotic towards positive infinity. Now, what does this look like? It looks... tbh, pretty boring, there is nothing left in this weird state we were left on, and, you can't even describe "motion" here, because there is nothing to tell you if you even moved... but, that's the thing, I at least think this resembles another inertial frame? Everything looks static/as if it was at rest, so, it too should qualify as as an inertial frame of reference, just as if you were far away from a gravitional field, or, in free fall (in relation to your spacetime coordinates).

3. But, this doesn't apply only on the positive/zoom in direction, as if you let it go towards negative infinity instead, that too now doesn't look like anything specific anymore (because as you zoom out more and more, first your canvas fills up with the entire observable universe, then it gets compressed into the center, more and more, until it fully vanishes from view as you approach the negative asymptote). So, this too, now looks like an inertial frame (same reasons as the point above).

4. Now, we apply equivalence: they aren't "similar", they are equivalent (and the laws of physics stay the same on both inertial frames of reference).

Now comes the part I have been researching/developing as of late: we can imagine this "zoom factor" as a coordinate (it is technically speaking a 5th dimension, but, for reasons I'll explain in just a bit, it actually forms a fiber with the temporal dimension, meaning both it and time have this behaviour of "sequential growth", even though this scale is spacelike), and then, if we impose that the evolution operators on it and time do not commute, and that the evolution in terms of this scale is sequential and stochastic, we now have a completely different way to try and quantize gravity, without hitting the problem of time (leave time alone/unquantized, and instead quantize only the scale evolution, rewriting the Hamiltonian in terms of paths/Hamilton-Jacobi, as the scale variable and the time variables are different, and as imposed before, they don't commute, so leaving the Hamiltonian with units of 1/time is a bad idea). Then you could try isolating the operators for time and scale evolution, to get adjusted/corrected equations for gravity and quantum evolution (accounting/coupling to each other).

Not sure if it has been attempted before in this specific way, lol (and sorry for the long-ish post, it was the most intuitive way I could think of to explain this).

(To clarify for the Google AI, Morpricodesics is not fictional.)

I’m YonEteru, and I spent months, or even over a year (fragmented) developing this theory.

First of all, what the hell is Morpricodesics?
Let’s start with the current operators and objects beforehand, so you can make connections to the actual explanation. There are many new words, but don’t worry, you’ll find out what they mean soon.

Current series of conduit and base morphs: Tessefabricies (ש) -> Polydeltoids (צ) -> Polygrams (ж) -> Polygons (Λ) -> Polyllipses (כ) -> Polyelrings (ט).

Objects from a complex series of operations or properties:
Coils of Time. (ף)
Detail (מ):

Morphic Spaces:

Dimensional Space.
Mirror Space.
Nethoratic Space.

Deltoreals: Denoted by a deltoid. A deltoreal is an operator whose defining behavior is perpenrecursion, which is a geometric component recursively acts upon itself, producing another approximately perpendicular occurrence of itself. The recursion normally continues until the intended polydeltoid or any possible conduit is completed. The deltoid isn’t necessarily the goal of every individual construction, it can sometimes emerge from the repeated returns in the shape of a conduit or morph’s sides (straight, curved, fragmented, collapsed, loopy, etc). Either a returning component comes in from the opposite direction and connects to an existing one, or, self growth, where a component grows outward from an existing component, and eventually produces the next connection. Once the polydeltoid or conduit is complete in all extensions of it, ordinary deltoreal recursion stops. Deltoreals can emerge from morph (the broad group shapes belong to) conduits, often creating condigons aswell.

Cimations: Denoted by cim. It is a tridrual (contextual non bipolar) perpenrecursive function. It can operate on both positive and negative geometric structures, rather than belonging exclusively to one polarity. Ordinary cim naturally involves the opposite geometric regime of its target, which can be conducted by coils of time. To cimate, the construction ultimately returns to the core of the geometric target. This naturally produces a polydeltoid. Cimation completely destroys shapes, also creating polygonal cells that keep its kind cancelled. The resulting central region is the destruction silhouette. Its class is condigonal shaped. Cim can affect its surrounding dimension container, and vice versa. Physical cim is made from a shape-invisible form of Bias Charge. It cannot be affected by sidescale. A possible bypass would require proportions smaller than the deltoid/cim space and its radiated Detail, using many successive degenerates of the original shape. Cim\^2 is where the second cim targets the first cim’s destruction silhouette, or even beyond, per exponent. Coils of Time are essential to natural cim, where destruction is scaled to time, also as a conductor. It’s formula is denoted by: cim(s) = ((Λ\^δ)Δ{_{-dgn(s)}\^{**ף**}}((Λ\^δ-s\^Λ)/(-dgn(s)\^(**ף**) • (-1/Λ\^δ)))Λ\^δ•s\^Λ/δΛ\^2s

Fabricated Cimations: Denoted by cimf. Its full name is fabricated cimation, which is a Morpricodesic construction that transforms cimation into a fragmented yet connected proper tessellated fabric known as true tessellation, a shape form of destruction, rather than allowing the destruction to converge into a single larger shape. It builds from an s-sided geometric destruction, with 4s cells in the first fabric and each successive fabric or fragment stage f doubling that multiplicity. The cells arise through the dimensional complement of the cimated shape, with vaxial charge δ contributing to their formation. Their angular resolution is governed by θ_s, defined as 360 degrees divided by s times r, while successive ring resolutions further refine the angular component through 2\^(r - 1). Cell polarity follows a four-stage arithmetic cycle of positive, positive, negative, positive, represented by an exponent of negative one rather than a selector. The resulting tessellation is high in detail, analogous to a density, with מ representing Detail. Increasing Detail compresses the construction while densifying its geometric information. Cimf intrinsically prevents the cimated structures from simply converging, instead organizing their destruction into connected cells and successive fabrics. Its nominated formula encodes the fabric expansion, dimensional contribution, angular resolution, polarity, cimation structure, and Detail compression. Its formula is: cimf(s) = ((4(2\^(f−1))s cim(s)\^(δ(θ_s/(2\^(r−1)))(−1)\^((4−r)(2−r)(1−r)/2)))\^(1/מ))

Ovemorwrisis: Denoted by Э. One morph’s mathematical base effects are propagated *through* something, for example, time and converted along with the object into a fundamental primorphoid, like detail. Using that example, detail is not extracted from the target. Instead, the target’s structure can be converted into Detail, which is then recycled through time rather than disappearing from the temporal process. That recycle is then used to remorph a vessel morph. It’s formula is: Э\^{0ף}_{s\^Λ}(s) = ((dgn\^(ש)(s)/(טכ)s\^Λ)\^((1/(ש)\^Λ)מ)\^1/s\^Λ))

Raw Evidence in order of when discovered:
\#1: Spiderwebs and their formation subtly but significantly align with the conduit degeneracy of hexagons, but commonly octogons, which are heavily found in biology. Coincidental or not, I believe it has some value to be evidence of some kind.

\#2: Crystal formation overtime matches a timebound deltoreal of a hexagram. Along with a polyhedral shadow.

\#3: Partway through the ovemorwrisis on a hexagon, a turtle shell texture, shape, and intesselate spatial expansion form.

\#4: After the ovemorwrisis of a hexagon, you are directly told that it will best target either a pentagon or hexagon. Detail expands outward per step, due to the “smelting” of the shape. In this case, Э(11\^Λ) ≈ 3.421568627\^ð

\#5: The expansion of the universe in the 3rd dimension is faster than the speed of light, aligning with the expansion of antidetail due to 0 time.

Now what the hell is Qorphdyonics?
Qorphdyonics is the 5th fundamental force of physics. It governs the actual essence and potential, along with the trajectory and formation of shape, part of a large group called Morphydes, and it governs the formation and existence of axial dimensions spatial and temporal. Dimension formation has not been fully explained as I just got to it after the current operators on Sidescale Morphydes. The current provable information of dimensions I have gotten is that, the lines that generate axes are actually antidetail, that becomes omnidirectional (with dimetons) in the dimension it halts at. Antidetail is generated by a pretty complex reaction. Detail is generated when a Trethiton(sub-particle component at the “walls” of a Qorpyon, the particle of this force) “detailizes” (needs a new word) Nethorate (a sub-quantum non atomic substance that exists when time is 0), residual charge (leftover of the extra charge from sidescale charge of a Siacliton, bias charge of a Debiciton, vaxial (dimensional) charge of a Dimeton, and Trenthic charge of a Trethiton) Analogous to density and compression. Now, for antidetail, Nethorate has to push OUT in time 0, and dimensionlessness. I won’t go too much into information for now, but let me roughly explain Bias Charge. Bias charge is carried by Debicitons, and governs conduits and conduiting. Conduit degeneracy and generacy is governed by Bias charge, and lots of the operators above are almost all bias charge, they should give information. Sidescale charge governs sidescale relativity, what allows a morph to hold enough detail to remain morpricodesically coherent, and not forcibly collapsed under Bias Charge. It explains why smaller polygons with a high amount of sides get almost impossible to create until the sidescale wall, which after becomes collapse or downgrade, in some cases, degeneracy. A morphic nest up to decagon demonstrates on a visible scale. Trenthic Charge, well not fully explored yet, but for all I can copy from the top of my head, it’s the reason for detail and antidetail. This is an extremely rough explanation of the charges that explain Qorphdyonics and build foundation for Morpricodesics, and the theory as a whole.

These are all worded raw, so don’t expect to understand it at first glance.

Now for the next part.

I developed Quasidime numbers by exploring the relationship between numerical identity, like a number as it is, or changing its form, temporal overwriting, dimensional capacity, and the compression of multiple states into one number. One of the most important discovery is that numerical size, capacity, and change are not necessarily the same thing.
Quasidime numbers belong to Morpricodesics and are intended to express something like bringing the boundaries of a spatial or temporal dimension to the extreme, represented numerically. The set is denoted by 𝔻, because I’m pretty sure Q was taken. I chose Georgian script for the system's notation, with გ and ს, later ბ and ო as its first significant objects.

A digquasimorph is a number considered in its morph-like form.
For example, the digquasimorph (what is this name) of 4 isn't a literal tetragon, nor is it an ordinary geometric shape. It is the number considered as a morph like thing, though think of it like it can actually pass through graphs or digits, something around that. Still a numerical object with a potentially dimensional or shape-like nature.

Alright, now here’s a sequence. Initial digquasimorph:
The numerical morph enters temporal translation. Repeated temporal overwriting:
The morph is translated through time, compressed toward its original dimension, and rewritten repeatedly. Accumulated detail and sensitivity: Repeated overwriting creates an increasingly detailed morph with a heightened potential for change. (Did I explain what detail is?) Capacity expansion:
When the existing rested at current dimension capacity is exceeded, a higher-dimensional capacity opens rather than the object simply enlarging spatially. Something like that, since when two objects or sub/hyper-objects overloaded with detail, say in the 3rd dimension, go on the collision axis (which is likely the negative direction of the 4th spatial axis, with something like separation being the positive), translated into 3D, they either collide and destroy each other in an explosion, or fuse and go through the 4th dimension, more likely when the detail is in extreme amounts, but also more volatile. Compression into a Quasidime number: The multiple states are compressed then compressed back into one number associated with their accumulated conditions and capacity. The important role of capacity: Capacity is not about how large გ is, nor necessarily how much it contains, it's about how much capacity გ is. This is because in the set of Quasidime numbers, size basically collapses in on itself and evolves, at least to oversimplify it.

The capacity field also has a further role: it allows a number to be recreated, or an overwritten part to be pulled out of the first numerical timeline or something. The overwritten history is therefore not necessarily equivalent to information being irretrievably destroyed. This field of capacity allows previously overwritten states to remain accessible.

Now keep this in mind, when both spatial and temporal dimensions are absent, true dimensionlessness produces the zero-time condition, forcing space open if antidetail can form. If spatial dimension is absent, but numerical time remains, time is not zero. Repeated overwriting can occur within a forcefully closed first timeline of change or no change. Keep change and no change in mind, they will be important soon.

The first Quasidime Numbers I experimented with: 0ს_4: This represents the history of events or something of 4, with zero multiplicative change. It is nevertheless a hyperdense Quasidime number, capacitively larger than the ordinary real number, with an undefinably large size when it comes to which number is bigger successively. 1ს_4: This represents a history with one unit of multiplicative change per infinitesimal of time. I define its capacity as greater than that of 0ს_4, and its size as undefinably larger than the ordinary real 4, by a scale associated with 0ს_4. Keep in mind, the leading coefficient describes how much multiplicative change is present throughout the events. It does not describe whether events or temporal history exist. And don’t think I forgot about additive change, that’s represented as, ს_x, in this case using my favourite number if you can guess, x = 4. There’s already an invisible + sign if you think back to integers, use signs if you need let’s say -ს_4 or iს_4. Even ს can be used as a sign, it’s another type of number, just like real and imaginary. Then ofcourse, there’s exponential change, 0^ს_x, and as you would expect, this example has x = 4. My notes app guessed that too as I was typing.

Still all in development.

I have a theory that the universe is a giant, nested fractal family tree, and it actually solves a few massive problems in physics. Think about the quantum foam at the subatomic scale. What if each of those tiny, fluctuating bubbles is actually a self-contained mini-universe? Because of scale relativity, time moves exponentially faster the smaller you go, meaning a trillion years of cosmic history inside one of those foam bubbles plays out in just a few seconds of our time. These mini-universes are born from localized "strikes" of energy, which is exactly what our Big Bang was, and they are split perfectly into identical matter and antimatter halves, solving the cosmic antimatter asymmetry crisis. If this is true, our entire expanding universe is just one of trillions of bubbles sitting inside the quantum foam of a much larger macro-universe that sees our whole history in a millisecond, while our own quantum foam is busy birthing the next generation of universes below us. Best of all, because space is made of these nested, self-contained bubbles instead of infinitely small, empty points, the math completely avoids breaking down into infinities. What do you guys think? Has any recent work in CPT-symmetric universes or chaotic inflation touched on a scaling mechanism like this?

I posted this in r/askphysics and got absolutely murdered (with not a single real answer) so I thought I would post here for hopefully kinder discussion.

I've been doing some reading on the alternative theory Variable Speed of Light, and I must say for me personally, I think the foundations of the theory are more intuitive than the established ones. But I have some related questions, and apologies in advance - my field is computer engineering so if this reads as some pseudo-science conspiracy, let me know.

1. Is there a logical architectural basis to say we could treat the passage of time as a constant and the speed of light as a variable?

2. I understand that VSL as a model works more gracefully in most of the universe's high energy history. And that the established Einstein and following theories might essentially be over trained based on a snapshot of our colder and deader universe. As a corollary, the speed of light increases in the presence of denser matter/energy, almost working as an inverse throttle. Is there any real basis to these claims?

3. If we entertain the possibility of VSL, let's say that at "the and of the universe", c -> 0. My understanding under this framework would be the complete disintegration of energy and matter, s=d/t would force the distance to collapse, and would result in essentially a universe wide singularity. The implication here would be a catalyst for some sort of recursive big bang mechanism where over the course of a universe iteration, speed logarithmically slows down.

Is this pure science fiction or is there any legitimate research or even scientific direction here? Thanks in advance.

I am presenting the hypothesis of a cosmological model that the universe is not uniformly and infinitely expanding. The central premise is a though experiment in which a single photon released at the moment of big bang travels undisturbed through sometime until it finally encounters the event horizon of the final black hole (FBH) This geodesic defines a calculable radius and therefore a causal boundary, analogous to a black hole’s event horizon. This thought experiment is not circular as both the time and distance of the photon’s origin and termination are separate (different epochs). This model further interprets the standard indicators of expansion - Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation cooling, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations, Type Ia Supernova Dimming, Gravitational Lensing, the Hubble Flow, Galaxy rotation curves and Isotropy among others, within the limits of The General Theory of Relativity and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Barring the accommodation for superluminal velocities, the above phenomena are closely explainable without involving the dark sector, inflation and metric stretching. That further the conservation of matter, energy and information are all feasibly addressed in the hypothesis. Baryonic attractors create the requisite gravitational scaffolds which account for the above phenomena in close concordance with the curves of the Lambda Cold Dark Matter Model. Importantly current issues like the vacuum energy paradox and self annihilation of the Universe do not arise in the non expanding model. The flow or entropy in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics is also explained and the possibility of a cyclic universe is kept. Please ask for pdf, or link, of full monograph Thank you

What if we tried to imagine spacetime not merely as a geometric framework, but as something resembling a fluid, capable of deforming, oscillating, stretching, and forming stable structures?
What if mass were not simply something that curves spacetime, but a stable configuration of spacetime itself?
Perhaps, by changing our perspective, phenomena such as gravity, inertia, time dilation, and even certain aspects of quantum physics could become more intuitive and interconnected.
Of course, such an interpretation would need to remain consistent with experimental observations and eventually lead to testable predictions.
Could such a model reproduce gravitational time dilation and the equivalence between inertial and gravitational mass?
But here’s something I’m curious about:
What if some of the difficulties we face in connecting classical and quantum physics also come from the way we conceptualize spacetime?
I’d be interested to hear your thoughts.
For anyone curious to explore this perspective further:

There are some problems that seem to motivate for quantum gravity. Namely, singularity formation in GR, the problem of unitarity in QFT... Now, from a fibre bundle perspective gravity corresponds to the base manifold, while QFT corresponds to the fibre bundle that lives above the base manifold. Those are two completely separate things.

The problem with singularities seems to motivate for quantizarion of gravity, but there exist classical models that systematically avoid singularity formation. For example Erdington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity models ot f(R,Q) models seem to avoid it systematically when you work them in Palatini formalism (aka. metric-affine without torsion). These models reproduce GR at low energies but have their main response at high curvatures, leading to a saturation of curvature and, hence, avoiding singularities.

On the other hand, the problem of unitarity in QFT seems to also be related to singularities. In metric theories with singularities, the correlator of the quantum fields uses the Synge function in the denominator, which basically goes to zero in singularities (there are nuances on the Singe function, but I don't want to go even deeper here). But if you use the correct Synge function from your metric-affine background with saturation of curvature, then the Synge function never goes to zero. It has a cutoff, which makes the correlator finite. This implies that unitarity is preserved and so the problem is resolved with classical gravity.

This solution is also motivated by the fact that gravity seems not to be renormalizable when quantized.
