I have added a lot of content to the ISU in this thread because obviously gravity plays a major role in the universe. This thread is essentially about the cause and workings of gravity, and I have shown how gravity works and why the reach of gravity is infinite using the now infamous bottom up approach. Your input would be appreciated.

The bottom up approach is supposed to elicit help from the professionals who are familiar with the body of scientific knowledge. Help is solicited each step along the way but I fear my welcome has worn thin because I have been bottom upping too long I guess. Oh well, I will keep plugging away. What I have so far includes all of the input I have received from you.

I will try to update post #2 to include the content from this thread, and I will cut and past the glossary of the ISU and update it at the end of this thread before the clock runs out. That way, if I am permitted a next thread I can simply link to that updated ISU summary and to the updated glossary from this thread and then go into the next new content area. As always, I will include any input I get from you in those updates.

As for new content, I need to put together the workings of the “energy to matter to energy” process. That process works because of the continually changing energy density, from the very balanced energy density of the universe as a whole to the very unbalanced energy density that typifies an arena within the greater universe. That is a thread in itself.

I also want to take the early hydrogen environment that I have developed so far using the bottom up approach, and advance it from the beginning and through the completion of the first round of hydrogen stars, setting the stage for a thread on ISU nucleosynthesis, the thermalization epoch and the CMBR, all with new content to be added.

A favorite subject to me is the formation of structure in the universe, and particularly galactic structure. I will bottom up that process at some point.

Then a thread on the phases of matter; collapse, burst, and expansion that typify an arena might be in order.

For the fun of it, I also want to put together a list of bogie “isms”; sayings that I have coined along the way like, “Anything finite is almost nothing, almost nowhere, almost never relative to the infinite.” That saying is not intended to be religious or spiritual in any way but it is often misinterpreted. Then there is the one that says, “Anything that has any probability at all is a certainty to occur in an infinite universe.” That “certainty principle” is the idea that is behind it when I say that anything is possible in the ISU. People don’t like it when I say that for some reason. And of course there is the term, “Infinite Spongy Universe” itself. It is really very descriptive but you have to be there I guess.

Anyway, maybe as many as three of you will have read this far and the impression you have is probably still “so what” or “who cares”, so I will be working on the updates like I said. I have a couple of weeks to post them I think. Send me a PM or an e-mail and let me know if you actually read this stuff. If you are a lurker, sign up to BAUT and let me know you did. I need new people who haven’t been burned out by me yet, lol.
