Theory of the Universe from the perspective of Gravity

[2021-12-31 10:56 AM] Initial post

Gravity is more than just another one of the forces lending it's laws to create what we can observe with the unaided eye.

The theory being proposed here assigns a few other observations to gravity's influence and infers others as due to the same.

Dark Matter

Gravity itself it's the largest component responsible for what astronomers observe as dark matter.  Specifically, it's oscillating gravitational waves creating the effect.  Any oscillation in a gravitational wave imparts relativistic effects to all matter it encounters.  Whether it's a star, planet, or something far smaller, the end result is equivalent to the objects velocity increasing as though on its way to the speed of light (though it actually only happens briefly and reverses so the begin and end points are the same). This causes the mass of the object to increase until any oscillating gravitational wave has passed.  They most likely never pass entirely due to constantly being generated by any 2 or more objects with enough mass and in a tight enough orbit.  One example being 2 neutron stars

Dark Energy

Gravity itself is the largest component responsible for what astronomers observe as dark energy.  Space is expanding due to gravitational waves moving outwards in a way which exerts gravitational pressure (the gravity equivalent to radiative pressure).  For gravitational waves near the boundaries of space, resonance is currently amplifying gravity's strength and the pressure it exerts.

Vacuum Energy / Zero point or Null Energy

All of these are gravitational energy.  At the smallest scales, resonance between gravitational waves oriented in 3 dimensions provides the gravitational strength to create the smallest possible singularity.  This goes on continuously whenever there are gravitational waves in x, y, z orientations with resonant frequencies.  This type of singularity immediately evaporates and emits a pair of virtual particles. In the immediate vicinity of a more massive singularity this is referred to as Hawking radiation.  This also provides an underlying explanation for what's termed the quantum foam.

Entanglement and the Double Slit Experiment

Both of these counter intuitive observations at the quantum level begin to make sense if our Universe is described as both an expanding (time) region of space AND as a singularity.

For entanglement, have 2 particles connected in a way that allows a change in ones state to instantly be reflected in another implies they both occupy the same space.  All points are the same point in a singularity and all particles are always "touching" so spooky action at a distance becomes comprehensible.  This also provides as simple an explanation for the times measured for an entangled set of particles to reflect a change in the other.  The amount of time it takes implies the change propagated at greater than the speed of light - and the time may turn out to be instantaneous regardless of distance.

For the Double-Slit Experiment

When the Universe is described as an expanding region of space, light behaves as a wave.  When the Universe is described as a singularity, light behaves as a particle.  By describing the Universe as a duality of both, light can behave as either or.  But when an experiment is performed to determine whether something like light is either a wave or a particle, the experiment chosen confines the measurement to one way of describing the Universe or the other.  It's choice which determines the nature of light.

Time moves forward

We experience any change in the dimension of space as the passage of time.  With the universe currently expanding overall, the arrow of time (as we draw it) moves in only one direction.  Should the universe contract - either on local or larger scales - time could be experienced as going in the opposite direction within that region.

Should an object be given a velocity that increases towards the speed of light, it may cross enough space to account for the expansion of that space.  With an object moving in a way which negates the expansion of space that would normally affect it, we'd expect time to slow down for that object.  And we know through many different experiments that it does.  Another way of stating this implies the existence of a something which space is expanding into.  That would be: should there be something that space is expanding into, an object may be accelerated to a velocity which essentially keeps it's underlying position unchanged as far as the something is concerned.

Assumptions

Each time a singularity is formed, a new universe is created with its own big bang.  All matter and energy transition as gravitational energy and dictates whether the universe will fail - which means it stops expanding and contracts back to the moment it was created. This may happen for a singularity which forms with insufficient gravitational energy to fuel inflation and some period of expansion or accelerated expansion.

The universe could be termed successful given enough gravitational wave energy and resonance to first drive inflation and then expansion.
