On the
time thread started by hush36, he said something very profound: "What if there was another conveyor of energy, similar to electromagnetic radiation, but one that "travels" (again, to stay simple) solely through the Time dimension?"
And that, my friends, begat the following Theory of Everything. I'll lay out the axioms, then expand on each throughout the thread over the next couple of days. I would like to revise this post, slightly, and within reason, as I lay this out, in order to provide a ready reference for both myself and others.
Note: In keeping with the rules of the board, if you must comment, ok, but I'd prefer a PM until I've finished with the 10 so that it does muddy up the original 10. - Thanks, and I appreciate your understanding that TOE goes beyond GUT, so this could take a while... In the first edit, I'll begin adding Wiki lengths at the bottom.
1. Photons are massless particles travelling at the speed of light. They go the distance without the time (in their time frame).
2. Gravitons are nearly massless quantum particles travelling at 0 c. The go nowhere in infinate time. Thus, they do not travel and they're always being created and destroyed. This will become later as we discuss acceleration vs gravity (within the framework of this thread), and I'll show how this matches with relativity's time dilation, length contraction, and red-shifting.
3. The distance between any two gravitons is always Plank length (tetrahedran - picture a stack of cannonballs). Each graviton touches the next. Thus, they're always as densely packed as they can be. This will become important later as it relates to the interaction between matter and gravitons, event horizons of black holes as well as "the void."
4. Gravitons exist only for Plank time (that'll become important later as we get into the indeterminate states of matter at the quantum level. This will also be related to how they interact with photons and why c is c.
5. Because of their Plankian nature, I'll formally call them "Plank Gravitons," but keep it to just "gravitons" for expediency.
6. Gravitons do not travel through space-time. Rather, they are, in fact, the very
fabric of space-time. Tug on one, it tugs on the next one, and so on. And because of their Plankian dimensions, they effect anything and eveything existing or moving through them. This will become important later when I discuss how gravity actually works.
7. As the very fabric of space-time, they set the clock. This will become important later when I discuss time dilation with respect to both velocity as well as the presense of matter "gravity well."
8. The presence of matter warps the graviton matrix. Because of the Pauli exclusion principle, gravitons aren't attracted to matter, but rather, repulsed by it.
9. Gravitons are our "dark matter." They have the same mass as neutrinos. Neutrinos aren't a special case. But gravitons are a "lowest priority" particle, so low, that they're the first to go if anything else, including photons, attempts to occupy their space. This will become important later in special and general relativistic concepts.
10. We'll discuss the geometry of the graviton matrix and how it relates to quantum mechanics, the strong force, the weak force, the electric force, and the magnetic force, for the graviton interacts with each, and will explain how each of those forces can "magically" cause action at a distance, particularly the electric and magnetic forces, but also including "spooky action at a distance," and how the wavefront of light can apparently exceed the speed of light.
Tall order, but it's time to get busy.
