What “shape” is the universe? Cosmologist Mark Wyman ponders whether the cosmos is smaller than we might imagine and “shaped” like a human. And how we may never know for sure.

| Cosmic Microwave Background |
Sounds bizarre, but I was reminded of that question when I came across a
new paper looking into the “shape” of the universe by Mota, Rebouças, and Tavakol. In theory, if the universe is finite and relatively small, and wrapped up on itself in a weird way, you could see the back of your head, if you looked out far enough. In practice, light goes too slowly—or the universe is just too big—for that to happen, exactly. But we could see repeating patterns in the relic radiation from the big bang, the so-called cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. By looking for those, we can ask the same questions: Is the Universe finite in size? And if so, what is its shape?
On the face of it, this seems like a question only a nut would ask. Actually, it may not be so crazy—but we can come back to that in a moment. The fact is that universe very well could be finite in size.
FQXi’s Max Tegmark, among others, suggested that the
universe might be doughnut-shaped a few years ago, while others think it may be shaped like a
soccer ball or some other
strange shape. If its size is just small enough, there could be telltale signs that we could spot in the sky—we just haven’t noticed them yet.
At this point, the cosmologically savvy may ask—don’t we know something about the shape of space already? And they would be right. We now know a lot about the
“curvature” of space, which is controlled by how much matter it contains and determines the universe’s ultimate fate. A universe with a large density of matter and a large curvature would eventually collapse back in on itself. Luckily, we now have good evidence that the universe is flat as a board; so it looks like we’ll be avoiding a big crunch.

Here, we’re not looking at curvature, but at a different aspect of the shape of the sky. To use technical language, the question is: what is the universe’s “topology”? Topology is the mathematical study of shape, taking into account the way that an object wraps around on itself and the number of holes passing through an object. For instance, doughnuts and coffee cups have the same topology because they each have one hole. (There’s a nice animation showing a coffee cup changing into a doughnut
here.) You could say that humans are topologically doughnuts because we also have one “hole” passing through us.
If the universe does have a measurably finite size, how could we tell? The universe isn’t literally doughnut-shaped or soccer-ball shaped (or indeed human-shaped), but if the universe is wrapped up in a complicated manner, then light that appears to be travelling out of one end of this compact cosmos would immediately re-enter it from the opposite side—effectively allowing us to see the backs of our own heads.
The way that this would show up is that we would see repeating patterns in sky—that is, we could find two patches of the sky that look identical because they are identical. By correlating where these “circles in the sky” match up, we could figure out how the universe is connected. That pattern of connections would tell us what the basic shape of space was.

| Pondering the shape of the universe |
There’s a funny story about this. One of the principal scientists on the team for the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), the space-based telescope that has given us our best picture of the CMB by far, wanted to look for these patterns. Since he had the data before anyone else, he figured he should take a look. So this guy started his analysis running one night before he went home; the next morning, he gets to the lab, and what’s on the computer screen? A series of positive detections!
The universe is finite! And he found it! He gets excited, thinking he’s going to be famous. But then he looks at the directory that the data files are in... He’d made a mistake. He hadn’t been looking at the real universe data. Because analyzing the data from these experiments is complicated, cosmologists practice their analysis techniques by making fake data sets with various effects put in by hand. He had been using one of his fake data sets he had made months earlier to test this very analysis, not the real data.
But let’s say we do see this crazy pattern in the future—so what? Besides the wow factor and the possibility of making the discoverer famous, what would we gain? Well, for a start it could tie in with string theory (pun intended). String theory famously tells us that the universe contains 10 dimensions, with all but the three large dimensions curled up in tiny twisted patterns. However, if the universe started out super small, which we know it did, the three huge dimensions we have also were originally curled up in a twisted pattern, too. So, when our three dimensions got picked out and blown up, they carried with them the shape that they had back in the earliest time. This is the shape we hope to see from research like the recent work by Mota, Rebouças, and Tavakol, outlined in their paper.
In it, the authors look for identical patches that fall exactly opposite each other in the sky. This isn’t the only possible pattern that would imply a finite universe, but it’s the simplest, and computer resources are limited. Moreover, this particular pattern is the only one consistent with the flatness of the geometry of the universe that we can directly see. A more complicated pattern of “connections” in the sky would imply a twisted universe—in all senses of the world—and we happen to know that the universe is a pretty flat place, geometrically speaking.
The result? It’s bad news for the small universe crowd. There’s no evidence for repeating patterns in the sky. But they shouldn’t despair yet. This doesn’t mean the universe is necessarily much larger than what we see—it just means that, even if it closes back in on itself, it’s nonetheless bigger than the presently-observable slice of the universe.
Unfortunately, the expansion of space is accelerating, thanks to dark energy dominating the universe. That means that with the outskirts of the visible universe galloping further away from us, we have now already seen almost as much of the universe as we’ll ever see.
So, we may live in a funnily shaped finite universe... but we’ll likely never be able to prove it.

I have stated in my writings that the body is both visible and invisible.
With 7 photons for night vision, and 10 photons for color (or day) vision being required, how do we know that string theory is not exploring the electromagnetic components (i.e., photons) --- after, and in keeping with, the 4th dimension (i.e., electromagnetism) that unifies gravity and electromagnetism/light? Consider:
4th space dimension to 10th space dimension = 7
And, at the same time, the TOTAL number of space dimensions is 10.
So, a theory that unifies gravity and electromagnetism /light would have to account for a smaller and larger space at once. Note that electromagnetic space
(e.g., the Sun and photons) is both larger and smaller than typical or ordinary space (including the Earth).
Isn't the basic question answered when we examine/describe how space manifests as energy? Isn't the space/energy relation what string theory is examining?
Isn't the higher gravity in astro. obs. related to the repulsive aspect ON BALANCE?

Frank,
You mentioned, "...how space manifests as energy...". I've been trying to understand how the laws of physics are implemented within a region of space. I would think that energy (a conserved quantity) will manifest in whatever way is most readily available. Sometimes energy manifests as matter; other times, energy manifests as electromagnetic radiation; sometimes as heat or even motion. I would be interested in your thoughts on how energy manifests as space.

Re. Shape of the universe, this is how I see it, briefly.
EM radiation gives images showing 3D vector space over time. 4th dimension of material universe being spatio-energetic rather than time itself gives change in 3D space position and simultaneous change in 4th dimensional position. So the universe we see as an image spread out over time has actually proceeded along the 4th dimension with the rest of the material universe and does not exist way out across 3D vector space. It is an image, an illusion, as real as a mirage.
Travel out into space and the material reality is different from the image.We see EM we do not see material substance. We can touch material substance but not way out in space. The perception of reality is limited by the senses and hence the sensory input we are able to achieve. The Prime Reality Interface frustrates the cosmological models. What we see has since evolved into the unobservable material universe of today.The material universe has not rushed away from us but we have moved with it along the 4th spatio-energetic dimension and away from the 4th dimensional position from which the EM radiation was emitted.
Shape of the universe if Einstein's space-time model is modified to space-space model is a hypersphere.A 4 dimensional quaternion geometric object. Plane of 3D space forming a sphere, its surface represented mathematically by the imaginary numbers. 4th dimension running from exterior to interior, being mathematically represented by the real number line.This is the actual unseen material universe not an EM derived image.

Hi Jason. Electromagnetism involves extremes of feeling, brightness, visibility, size, and energy. Gravity and electromagnetism/light are united at the [gravitational] mid-range of feeling between thought and sense.
Demonstrate gravity as attractive and repulsive -- in keeping with relatively constant (and proper) lighting, energy, and brightness -- in a space that is at once understood to be larger and smaller. The space must also be invisible and visible at once.
You now have electromagnetism/light as gravitational space. Space manifesting as BOTH gravitational AND electromagnetic/light energy. (Constant energy as well.)
The union of gravity and electromagnetism/light in a fourth spatial dimension
completes, balances, and extends Einstein's theory. It demonstrates thought that is more like sensory experience in general. The ability of thought to describe or reconfigure sense is ultimately dependent upon the integrated extensiveness of thought, experience, and being. Indeed, the ability of thought to describe or reconfigure sense is ultimately dependent upon the extent to which thought is similar to sensory experience.
Dreams make thought more like sensory experience in general. Dreams involve a fundamental integration and spreading of being and experience (including thought) at the mid-range of feeling between thought and sense.
This entire post, including the first paragraph, is describing dream experience. Dreams demonstrate space manifesting as energy.

Frank,
I do entertain the idea that consciousness has roots that go very deep into the laws of physics. The exact mechanism, however, is not something I can articulate at this time. Feelings, emotions, dream, and senses are all activities within the nervous system. The nervous system is primarily an electrochemical system. Physicists have tried to destroy God and convince us that we have no soul. In that, they are gravely mistaken. When they pass on, they will have the plenty of time in the spirit world to think about and discuss how they totally missed the mark. In some humorous astral dimension, layperson spirits will float by these athiest physicists, point at them, and say, "who is the dummy now?"
I do believe that the universe, and God, get a good chuckle out of our folly.

Jason: Lose God, find yourself. It is time to grow.
The eye of genius see things/reality as it is, and not from preconceived notions and/or fear. Courage is a prerequisite for great thinking.
The truth is shocking, so many people are naturally resistant to deep and original ideas. Keep your minds open.
FQXi participants/Jason -- We were supposed to be talking about space manifesting as energy, remember?
When scale is balanced, as I have described in my last post, gravity is repulsive and attractive as electromagnetic energy/light and feeling.
I have demonstrated invisible and visible united at the mid-range of [gravitational] feeling between thought and sense. The INVISIBLE space of the body/eye is consistent with its positioning at the top of the body -- that is, thought and invisible space are felt more weakly in the range of feeling of the body.

Hello ,
Frank
What I find very relevant in your ideas ,it's the fact to have an universal link between polarizations of evolution .
I understand your perception .
I think what all times all polarizes and continues to evolve .
Thus indeed the electromagnetism is fascinating because the weak interactions are a piece of the building ,like a frequence of light where very very weak particles goes to centers of gravity like our Erath ,I like too the link between our sun and our planet ,like an invisible and visible building towards ultim harmony .
In this case I understand your link with dreams ,specifics and universals ,because all is linked since the begining like an universal memeory in all things .
It's a beautiful extrapolation I think ,and it shows us what your work is a long search of truth in several centers of interest ,it's important to encircle the whole .
It's interesting about neurology and brain studies .Our 1/2 spheroids of our brain is a captor of informations intrisic and extrinsic ,it's there I like your model and psychology analyze .It's relevant .You have understood the ultim strong force and the light ,our Gauge thus the rule of things....
Since I class all and study the biology ,the brain is incredible in its evoution since the first cells and the differenciation in Times by complexification and diversification (reproduction,locomotion,nutrition) .
When I have seen this evolution and the different steps ,even our brain spherificates itself .
Our brain thus in this logic is correlated with your conclusions about dreams ,indeed all brain has this universal memory .We could say thus two kind of dreams or 3 too are necessary ,the universal dreams of all ,the human dreams and the animal and vegetal primitif dreams .....where it exists an universal correlation with Times space evolution and the unification .
Sincerely
Steve

Jason,
your current discussion has some relevance to my former comments on subjective reality and how some people have a very different experience of reality than others.This can sometimes be identified as inability to comprehend the full meaning of words, although proficient at putting sound bites together. Observed as inability to rephrase the words that have been used or to explain the meaning of them, using alternative language or analogy.As well as inability to fully comprehend abstract emotional meaning of words, trying to give simplistic concrete explanation of complex emotional concepts.
I do believe in freedom of thought and freedom of speech but not in allowing bullies to tell other people how they should think and insulting their intelligence.The following demonstrates the level of discussion that will follow if Frank is taken seriously.

Hi Steve: Thank you for your support and encouragement.

1) Electromagnetism involves extremes of feeling, brightness, visibility, size, and energy. Gravity and electromagnetism/light are united at the [gravitational] mid-range of feeling between thought and sense.

Dear Frank,
We Physicists still prefer real mathematics and testable hypothesis.
Certainly, a lot of Philosophy and some Theology (or reactionary anti-theology) has been absorbed into Modern Physics because current experiments can only do so much, can only go so far in proving or dis-proving Scientific Laws/ Theories/ Hypothesis / Axioms/ Postulates/ Assumptions.
IMO, the proper approach is to learn the details and methods of the field with the detached attitude of "what is truly proven and what can be overthrown", and then go attack the weakest link.
I am also proposing a "TOE" - as much as I hate the implications of that name. There is much more to reality than just the Electromagnetic and Gravitational forces. Even the great Theodor Kaluza realized 80 years ago that it required at least 5 dimensions to unify those two forces. Interestingly enough, the number of 5 dimensions also ties into Octonion algebra with 5-vectors, and M-Theory with a 5-brane.
My own Theory has too much math for my liking. I prefer to "Keep It Simple", but I am presenting a significant amount of mathematical framework behind this TOE - it seems to be a "necessary evil".
Physics is bilingual in nature. First, you state the problem in English (right-brained communication skills), then you develop the mathematical language for the problem (left-brained logic skills), then you use this math to solve the problem (left-brained logic skills), and then you translate the math results back into English to explain what you did (right-brained communication skills).
IMO, your communication (right-brained) skills are sufficient, but you need to further develop you math logic (left-brained) skills to convince me of your theory. I won't comment any further until your published math skills are up to par with your language skills.
Good Luck in your research!

Ray,
The language centres are in the left hemisphere as well as mathematical skills and logic. The right hemisphere is non verbal but the location of imagination and intuition and creativity. The left hemisphere translates the visualisation of the right hemisphere into language or mathematics for communication of those ideas originating in the right hemisphere.(Just to be accurate, as is required in science, not to undermine your discussion of the bi-lingual nature of physics, which gives a valid description of a particular methodology.)
If one understands the meaning of the language communicated one would be able to explain it or use alternative phraseology to aid communication. That is why I suspect that the person communicating supposedly important ideas, who is unwilling or unable to explain or rephrase or give any evidence in support of those ideas, does not actually understand the meaning but has amalgamated sound bites meant to appeal to others.
Saying that another person who does not agree with the comprehensibility or content is unable to think is demeaning and may be intimidating to those who are afraid that they may appear ignorant for questioning the content.To then deny that anyone has found room for improvement in the work presented is a clear break with reality or attempt at deception. Frank says, "Isn't it interesting that the FQXi participants cannot even begin to point out a single thing that is wrong with my above published article? They do not even attempt it."
Mathematics is another language entirely. If an idea is sensible and comprehensible the language verbal or mathematical does not matter scientifically except that higher precision and un-ambiguity may be possible with mathematics.In my opinion. Mathematics is the preference because physics is heavily dominated by mathematics and attracts those with a mathematical thinking style.Incomprehensible mathematics is no more use than incomprehensible words. The meaning is what is most important. When did the importance of meaning get lost in physics?

Hi Zeeya Merali,
you said "However, if the universe started out super small, which we know it did, the three huge dimensions we have also were originally curled up in a twisted pattern, too. So, when our three dimensions got picked out and blown up, they carried with them the shape that they had back in the earliest time."
We do not know that it started super small that is assumed, as it is a generally accepted hypothesis.For brevity of this post, to get to the final hypothesis a sequence of 3 prior assumptions have been made.Is that too many in your opinion? Do you see any danger of building a huge science mythology out of a continuously growing collection of assumptions that each attaches to prior assumptions.What happens when a foundational assumption is removed?
You also say "the expansion of space is accelerating, thanks to dark energy dominating the universe." Hypothesis, assumption (based on current interpretation of evidence), hypothesis. Not fact, fact, fact. Do you see any danger to scientific credibility in presenting scientific theory as fact? Particularly when such theories may in time be superseded by new ideas and developments, as is the nature of scientific progress.

Georgina,
I'm reading Frank's posts. He is transfixed on the idea that states of consciousness are correlated with the laws of physics. I believe in the importance of the Golden Rule, so I will be gentle with my comments.
The idea that consciousness can have power over the Laws of Physics is not a new idea. There are only two possible ways this is possible. One is the obvious way: brain->nervous system-> motor nerves.
The second way is more akin to the spiritual. God exists as a conscious entity within and beyond the laws of physics. By becoming unified with God, perfectly attuned to this life force, one can begin to overpower the default laws of entropy, age and death.
I've never met, face to face/in person, anyone who has done this. However, my personal and spiritual experiences have proven to me that God exists, spirits exist, and the supernatural exists.
As for gravity and electromagnetism being unified by states of consciousness, I'm not convinced even if Dr. Christian Corda says I should be.

This entity exists everywhere and has a code of building .The laws of physics where we are a part in fact shows us this incredible entropy behind .
But our rule is not to understand this unknew now but act like catalyzers of the ultim balance between spheres .

Dear Georgina,
Thank you for the physiological clarification. You ask "When did the importance of meaning get lost in physics?" I agree that both the math and its meaning are important. In my prior posting review of how to solve a Physics problem, converting the results of math into language is the final step. The meaning is always important, but you need to be able to back-up the meaning with math, data, etc.
You also said "We do not know that it (space) started super small that is assumed, as it is a generally accepted hypothesis." Of course, this is a hypothesis derived from the Big Bang Theory. The Big Bang Theory has faced many challenges over the decades. Einstein shared your perspective of an "infinite" static Universe until Lamaitre and Hubble convinced him otherwise. But observation of the Cosmic Microwave Background settled the question - the Universe was smaller in the distant past.
Have Fun!

Ray,
I do not disagree with you. Data from observation is important in science. Quantitative or qualitative.(I asked Frank, have you conducted any research or do you have any data concerning the chimpanzee dream states? but got no reply.) My point to you was that converting meaningless words (pseudo philosophy) into meaningless maths and back again is not going to provide meaning. Words alone or maths alone do not provide the meaning, or scientific or logical proof.
The data must be placed in a coherent structure that is mathematically correct or logically sound and can thus be interpreted to provide that meaning or proof.If the maths is wrong or the logic invalid or unclear then it is honest to say so. It is not unreasonable for a person to ask for an explanation or clarification.
You said "Einstein shared your perspective of an "infinite" static Universe until Lamaitre and Hubble convinced him otherwise." That is not my perpective at all.
You also said "But observation of the Cosmic Microwave Background settled the question - the Universe was smaller in the distant past." I do not agree that it is settled. Data always has to be interpreted. The data may stay the same but interpretations can change and frequently do. That is the nature of science.
Science is portrayed to the general population as factual and the truth but it is hypotheses, interpretations and shifting sands of understanding. When that ceases to be remembered science has become just like a religion. Where great truths are held as an act of faith and can not be questioned.
I agree that the EM radiation that is observed to be spreading out across 3D vector space giving an apparent expansion. It is my contention and always has been that that image is not the material universe. The material universe is moving towards the centre of the hypersphere along the 4th dimension and so is contracting but not directly in 3D space.This change in spatial position and only this change could give rise to the force of gravity as observed in 3D vector space, in my opinion. Mechanism explained to Jason in out of Plato's cave.

Dear Georgina,
I understand your 4-D to 3-D analogy. Because chalkboards are two-dimensional surfaces, we usually draw this as a two-dimensional light cone with 3-D space collapsed to 1-D and time along the second coordinate. This analogy is helpful, and is not new. See
Light Cone I agree that interpretation of data is critical. Hubble's Law assumes that stars of a certain size and type have always had the same absolute magnitude, and the same spectra. However, if the gravitational "constant" inceases (decreases), stars will burn brighter (dimmer) because stars are balanced between gravitational and thermonuclear heat pressures, and the concept of a "standard candle" may be flawed. Likewise, if the fine structure "constant" changed in the distant past, the spectra would have also changed, and we cannot easily determine how much of the redshift is from the relativistic Doppler Effect, and how much is from a changing spectra.
Most Physicists ignore these effects of changing "constants". I think the effects are relatively small, but large enough to possibly explain Dark Energy. I don't think these ideas can completely erase the effects of cosmological expansion and the basic idea of Hubble's Law. Over the years, I have heard many ideas (other than the relativistic Doppler Effect) as to how the spectra may get redshifted. They never convinced me otherwise. You haven't convinced me otherwise - maybe I bought into the "religion of the big bang".
Your arguments regarding Time sound more reasonable than Frank's ideas. But like Frank, you need more data and mathematics. I disagree with your analysis of a strictly 4-D Spacetime and no Hubble expansion.
Have Fun!

Ray, we agree then on the importance of the interpretation of data.
The problem with the current space-time model is the large number of unresolved problems. Grandfather paradox, arrow of time, how universe arose, infinity, eternity, mass energy, inertia, mechanism of gravity. If you are comfortable with the logical and mathematical difficulties of infinity and eternity then perhaps it is easier for you to accept the current status quo of scientific belief. If to your mind all of the problems are outweighed by the need to retain a certain interpretation of the data then I can understand your opinion.I have seen a rabbit materialise out of an empty top hat but that does not make it a fact. I now know how it got there and understand how appearances can be convincingly deceptive. It is the interpretation that is important not just the evidence.
Disagreement is OK but specific logical or scientific error would help me to re-evaluate my ideas. This is a model consistent with all observations within 3D vector space. Any data that can be interpreted with the space-time model could be reevaluated with this model. What specific data do you deem necessary to show that it is consistent with observations?
It gives an explanation of gravity that the space-time model can not do and solves the grandfather paradox. The mathematical expression of the quaternion geometric structure already exists as do Maxwell's quaternion electromagnetic equations and the mathematics pertaining to time dilation within an spherical object. There may be other mathematics that pertains to this model.What mathematics do you deem necessary? Depending on the requirement I may or may not be able to produce or locate it. I certainly do not have the expertise to write the equivalent of Einstein's work in quaternion mathematics nor to construct a quaternion "string type" theory. However I can show where there is correspondence with existing scientific theory and mathematics as well as observations in 3D vector space.

Dreams involve a fundamental integration and spreading of being and experience at the mid-range of feeling between thought and sense. Accordingly, thought and feeling are proportionately reduced during dream experience. This proportionate reduction of thought and feeling is consistent with the fact that the dream is an emotional experience. (Thoughts and emotions are differentiated feelings.) The heightened interactivity with (or of) the feeling of the self involves a disintegration of visual experience, as this takes place: during dreams; when an object is close to the eye(s); and when looking (or staring) at the sun. During dreams, such heightened energy and feeling at the emotional center of the self is associated with the [relative] disintegration of vision therein, and with the experience of colors while dreaming as well. Consistent with such heightened energy/feeling, it is significant that there is neither fatigue nor tiredness in the dream. In dreams, this relatively narrow mid-range of feeling is the reason why the visual experience therein is not blurry (i.e., it is not out of focus or further disintegrated); and this associated (and narrow) range of feeling is also evident in the almost constant visual lighting therein. Since the experience of both the body and the sun involve higher feeling than is experienced in the dream, dream vision is [generally] in the distance from (i.e., out of reach of) the self; and it is not extended as far as the influence of the higher feeling of the sun would allow. Accordingly, the body and the sun are basically (or significantly) absent during dreams. The reduction in the range of feeling that occurs during dream experience is associated with a reduction in both thought and experience in general. During dreams, when waking, in becoming "one with the music", and given the increased and successful involvement of unconscious experience (in general), the range of feeling that thought may take place in conjunction (or association) with is increased (or elevated), thereby advancing consciousness. Dreams and genius add to the extensiveness of experience, thereby increasing the capacity for memory and understanding. Memory integrates experience. Memory, genius, and dreams improve upon the integrated extensiveness of experience (and thought).
Francis Bacon says: "...the spirit of man, being of an equal and uniform substance,...."
and
"...so differing an harmony there is between the spirit of man and the spirit of nature."
At the mid-range of feeling between thought and sensory experience in general, it is there that one finds the union of gravity and electromagnetism/light.
The uniformity and harmony of man, substance, and nature is attained to in dreams. No fatigue, CONSTANT energy, no tiredness, proper lighting, no temperature (no hot or cold), etc.
One of the greatest truths that I will teach you all is that the ability of thought to describe or reconfigure sensory experience is ultimately dependent upon the extent to which thought is similar to sensory experience. Dreams make thought more like sensory experience in general (including gravity and electromagnetism/light).
This is clear folks; and it is simple as well.

M Sachs-Quaternion unified field equationsArticle linked above explains that "any law of nature , whether in particle physics or cosmology - the physics of the universe that is compatible with the symmetry required by relativity theory, in special or general relativity, must be in terms of spinnor and quaternion variables. This is a requirement of the algebraic logic - the group structure - of the theory of relativity ......The correspondence of the quaternion metric field and the the metric tensor of Einstein's formulation is then in terms of the product of ds and its quaternion conjugate ...corresponding to its time (or space) reflection......Thus the quaternion formulation in general relativity....is a factorisation of the metric tensor formulation of the standard Einstein theory.
M Sachs general relativity and matter (Reidel 1982)
This agrees with my conviction that quaternion mathematics could be used for this task.So Einstein's work has already been converted into quaternions and from the 16 equations the results of 6 of them give one to one correspondence with Maxwell's electromagnetic equations and 10 give one to one correspondence with Einstein's original tensor equations. Both physical phenomena are incorporated into a single 16 component quaternion field. Information in above paragraph from M Sachs quantum Mechanics and gravity (springer 2004)
"One important new feature of this is the torsion of space-time. it predicts as examples the rotation of the galaxies and the Faraday effect regarding the propagation of electromagnetic radiation......Both observed astrophysical effects not predicted by the then standard Einstein tensor formulation. M Sachs Physics of the universe.
The rotation of the plane of polarisation identified here may also have relevance to red shift as well as 4th dimensional change in spatial position, in my opinion.
Interestingly this quaternion formulation predicts anisotropic expansion and contraction of the universe in a spiral fashion. According to M sachs in the above article. As this is still a "static geometry" of the universe expressed in quaternion mathematics, the unidirectional continuous motion along the 4th spatial dimension towards the centre of the hypersphere has not been incorporated.That would in my opinion tend to drive spiral contraction of the material universe (not the EM image)in 3D vector space.

Dear Georgina,
I agree that there are holes in our theories and holes in our data.
The theoretical holes are obvious due to the apparantly inconsistent and opposite natures of Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity. One or both of these theories must be invalid at certain scales. Why?
The data holes are caused by our biases. "What to leave in, what to leave out?" One of my college lab partners "fixed" his data to make it look pretty (and didn't tell me so my report showed the raw data), but our lab instructor recognized that his data was not pure data. It's easy to use "cuts" to elliminate data in the 2+ "sigma" ranges, but are we elliminating real physics or not?
Fractals are interesting. Last year, I corresponded with Mohamed El Naschie. His ideas regarding special fractal numbers are interesting, and ties into my theory to a small degree. I also recommended fractals to Steve, but he chose not to pursue that route.
I do not understand which branch of physics you intend to overthrow first, but choose your battles and your allies wisely. Not everything in print is "inspired truth" or worthy of print. If you tried to overthrow all of Relativity theory and all of Big Bang theory at one time, it would be too large of a challenge.
Special Relativity was an answer to the Michelson-Morley experiment:
Michelson-Morley Time dilation/ length contraction seems to be a good explanation for atmospheric muon decay (and many observations at high-energy particle accelerators):
Muon I think that the data generally supports the Big Bang. This theory has faced many challeges over the decades. It is difficult to be certain about something you can't reach out and touch. And some people will always question it. My preacher asked me if I believed in the Big Bang, I said "Yes, I belive that God said "Let there be light" and BANG - there it was"
Quaternions are important to four dimensional Spacetime and Maxwell's Equations, although it seems more natural to me to try to incorporate Einstein's Field Equations into one Octonion equation rather than 10 (or 6? or 16?) Quaternion equations.
Octonions are 8 dimensional. The idea of extra dimensions has been around for at least 90 years since Theodor Kaluza, who unified Gravity and Electromagnetism in five dimensions. Legend says that 5 dimensions bothered Einstein, and he held up publication of Kaluza's work for 2 years. I don't like extra, unseen dimensions - they seem to be a "necessary evil". Any extra-dimensional theory must explain why we only observe 4 (or 3+1) dimensions.
I don't have all of the answers or all of the questions. If you are challenging some of the greatest ideas of the Twentieth Century, you will need more than interesting words. I recommend math, but pictures might also serve a purpose.
Good Luck,
Ray Munroe
p.s. I won't be around much for the next week-and-a-half.

Hello Dr Cosmic Ray ,
"I also recommended fractals to Steve, but he chose not to pursue that route."
hihihihi ,in our discussions about that ,I have said my perception of fractals which are for me specific in their numbers like an universal link between spheres and their numbers .....the physicality can be inserted too with volume ,density ....
I admit what El Nashie is a big physician ,the only thing where I don't agree ,it's about the chaos and solitons .In all case his work is relevant .
What I find important is the limit ,even if the Universe is finite ,the space is infinite ....I have many questions about that ....thus the fractal only goes to the infinity by human extrapolations .Thus the infinity in our physic dimension is just a human extrapolation.
We can't go more far than our Panck units in my opinion.
On the other side with computing ,it's intersting .
Thus it's always a question of pragamatism and rationality .In conclusion thus even the space is finite .
The infinity like the zero are humans inventions .But in physics ....they don't exist I beleive .Let's take the Universe ,before ,now or after ,and let's assume the number 1 for all that .Can you imagine 0 X 1 Impossible it has no sense .About infinity ,only behind our walls and furthermore at this ultim sphere finished where appears the eternity of creation .

Dear Sphere-keeper Steve,
In my opinion, infinty is a mathematical concept that is not fully realized in our Universe, but rather is best represented by Dirac's large number:
and its powers.
My latest paper (or non-paper, I am having difficulties getting it published - Is it that controversial?) utilizes Klein's Chi(7). If we compare Chi(7) with Hyperbolic Heptagonal Tiling, we find that it has a fractal order of 339+16k (an El Naschie result) at the circular (2-D sphere) limit of heptagonal tiling. The difference between 339 vs. 339+16k may represent the difference between our large and finite Universe vs. Infinity or the difference between my E12 and El Naschie's E-Infinity. Either way, the "Planck scale wall" is there, and is a perfect circle in the case of heptagonal tiling.
I am travelling to Las Vegas for business next week, so you will not hear from me then.

Dear Steve,
There are hierarchies of importance. First you have the "spheron", then you add the number of nearest-neighbors in whatever "lattice" you are using. My "E12" lattice is closely related to the Coxeter-Todd "K12" lattice (with 756 roots). In your case, "nearest-neighbors" are kissing spheres. Then you add the number of next-nearest-neighbors (which is 4,032 for K12), and keep adding spherical shells of lattice sites until you approach infinity. I do not see how your model can duplicate 10^{40} - you might as well take the limit to infinity and assume that the difference is minimal. My model assumes that 10^{40} is the number of "lattice sites" on the gravity-brane.
Have Fun!

Steve and FXQi:
My understanding/description of how the dream constitutes the union of gravity and electromagnetism/light is complete, fundamental, simple, comprehensive, and consistent. It is lacking nothing.
I have even mathematically demonstrated/proven it in a fundamental fashion; as I have shown the three to one (one third) relation of BOTH space (the three space dimensions in relation to the 4th space dimension) AND time (3 to 1 in Einstein's theory of gravity) in dreams; as dreams occur during the one third of our lives that we spend sleeping. Or, you could say that the extension in space (three to one, or one third) is consistent with extension in time. Note: there are three parts of time as well -- past, present, future.
NOTE: The 4th space dimension gives us Einstein's theory of gravity (general relativity) AND electromagnetism (Maxwell's theory of light). We know this.
The integrated extensiveness, completeness, and consistency of my unification of gravity and electromagnetism/light is why Dr. Christian Corda, Ph.D endorses it and says it is "philosophically excellent". (This gentleman has very serious credentials/expertise in mathematics.)
FQXi participants, my other numerous posts at FQXi make it abundantly and overwhelmingly clear that the unification of gravity and electromagnetism/light occurs in dreams. (I do not even need the mathematical proof that I have, by the way.)
If I was a known, popular, and connected physicist, there is no doubt whatsoever that what I have written would already have been accepted as fact/truth.
Really, this is becoming ridiculously embarassing to FQXi and its numerous participants. It will be generally recognized in the near future that I am correct. Admit the facts/truth.

You all don't embarass me, as I am in possession of an extraordinary measure of truth/facts in relation to being and experience in general. You do, however, embarass yourselves.
If my idea regarding said unification is superior to your ideas, which it is, THEN ADMIT IT! Some of your ideas are so vague, with all sorts of undefined and unclear/empty term and words thrown about, that it is almost comical.
Be honest, keep an open mind, be bold, and embrace the truth -- or you will never grow. There is a TON that you all can learn from me.

Ray,
thank you for your opinions and advice.I appreciate the time spent. I'm sorry if I have sounded somewhat adversarial in some of our conversations. I have just been tying to explain a particular way in which I view the foundational problems, current thinking in science and how a particular solution might work. Which appears, to my mind, be a sensible, self consistent idea with correspondence to existing science, that would solve all of the main problems by making just a few small changes. (Approaching the problems from the opposite direction from yourself.)
I have apparently failed to inspire anyone by talking about it.I appreciate that it is up to me to demonstrate that it solves all of those problems rather than just saying it will. Whether anyone will then find that inspirational rather than naive and irrelevant is another question. Some new mathematics might help but it is unreasonable to have to provide all of the mathematics for every area of science affected by the foundational changes that are made.
Very limited expertise in the highly specialised fields of physics will make anything I say possibly appear naive.I am just not qualified or sufficiently gifted in mathematics to have in depth mathematical conversations.My major strength is my visual-spatial intuitive problem solving skills that can not be learned by years of studying quantum physics or higher mathematics or any other theoretical specialism.
The proposed model does not invalidate Einstein's work but is a small step that then makes his model function in a way that solves the foundational questions, to my mind.To my mind also, the fact that he has made it curved space geometry rather than dynamic deformation of aether is not that important to how the model functions in giving solutions.
It is not my intention to overthrow any area of science. But to offer a way in which current understanding might be improved with a small adjustment to currently accepted models. Basically it comes down to motion of matter through the quaternion purely spatio-energetic geometry which can be envisioned as a series of slices of space rather than matter embedded within a single static space geometry. All dimensions representing orientation within the same stuff, so no time. Un-knowable objective and subjective realities separated by the Prime Reality Interface, where data is input for modelling of the external objective reality.
All of the other changes are linked to these in some way.(Perhaps there are some are other speculations, that needs to be pruned out. Included originally to try to show the scope of the model in all areas but probably demonstrating instead my lack of specialist knowledge and understanding.) Being small but foundational changes they may have some large effects on the way in which experimental science is conducted.
How formal or mainstream science chooses to respond to those particular foundational changes in theoretical understanding that will eventually have to me made, so that the foundational questions are answered, is an interesting question. Is science about answers or never ending questions?
Good luck in all of your endeavours, you have fun too Ray.

Gravity and electromagnetism/light are united when scale is balanced, in keeping with both gravity and electromagnetism/light being repulsive AND attractive. The space is both LARGER (or additive) and SMALLER (relative to waking experience/space) at once; and this is in keeping with the space being both invisible and visible (at once). This ALL occurs in the dream. Think!

It is common sense that the union between gravity (general relativity) and electromagnetism/light (Maxwell's theory of light) -- that is proven by the addition of a fourth spatial dimension -- must be plainly and significantly obvious in our experience. Indeed, it is readily evident in dream experience.
Talk about a lack of common sense!!? -- I am to belive that this union is only evident/present/manifest in ultra microscopic strings? Wake up people! Stop denying reality/truth out of fear and misinformation.

Bousso and Polchinski worked out such field coincedences on D7-branes and computed the sensitive dependency on the value of the cosmological constant with these transversalities.
arXiv:hep-th/0004134v3
The results indicate a very delecate fine tuning is involved. My paper I will post indicates how this condition is established by a quantum critical point on a dual M2-brane. The M2-brane is a tachyon condensate that forms a quantum form of the singularity. This is dual to fields on the black hole horizon, which (to make a long story short) is dual to fields exterior. This has the effect of establishing the fine tuning of the universe and fine tuning according to a Fermi-Landau liquid phase on M2.

Like I said before, don't give up. Don't get discouraged. The Quaternion model, from what I can tell, is mathematically justified; it is compatible with General Relativity. All it needs is for someone to breathe life into it. As it turns out, hyperspheres and additional dimensions are just ways that the mathematical physics tries to express itself. But it takes a special talent to be able to place those additional dimensions in a way that reveals the objective reality, that which is manifesting everything that we observe.
The physics arena is a parched and dried wasteland for ideas that really need a fertile and creative place to grow. IMO, I think that physics could use some creativity and imagination.

It might ultimately turn out that the universe is of this nature, but a unification of consciousness with cosmology is probably the end to the foundations of physics.

My understanding/description of how the dream constitutes the union of gravity and electromagnetism/light is complete, fundamental, simple, comprehensive, and consistent. It is lacking nothing.
Electromagnetic space is inherently smaller and larger than ordinary space/objects (like the earth) -- witness the sun and photons. Likewise, the dream involves smaller AND larger/additive space (on BALANCE). The addition of electromagnetism completed Einstein's theory by adding to the integrated extensiveness of space AND understanding while reducing/simplifying both space and the understanding as well. This point is brilliant. Remember, Einstein's equations predict an expanding OR contracting universe/space; so he knew something was wrong/incomplete/contradictory in his theory. The dream balances and unifies gravity and electromagnetism/light.
Carefully consider the following:
1) I have demonstrated a comprehensive union and balancing of gravity and electromagnetism/light.
2) Dreams improve upon the integrated extensiveness of experience and thought.
3) Dreams involve a fundamental integration and spreading of being and experience at the MID-RANGE of [gravitational] feeling BETWEEN thought AND sense.
4) Dreams make thought more like sensory experience in general (including gravity and electromagnetism).
5) The ability of thought to describe or reconfigure sense is ultimately dependent upon the extent to which thought is similar to sense.
NOW, LOOK AT THIS!!:
Gravity and electromagnetism/light are united when scale is balanced, in keeping with both gravity and electromagnetism/light being repulsive AND attractive. The space is both LARGER (or additive) and SMALLER (relative to waking experience/space) at once; and this is in keeping with the space being both invisible and visible (at once). This ALL occurs in/as dream experience.
THE DREAM FUNDAMENTALLY BALANCES AND UNIFIES GRAVITY AND ELECTROMAGNETISM

See, let's be honest here folks; and thank you very much for considering my ideas; and, again, none of you are finding ANYTHING that is really (or substantially) wrong with my description/understanding of how the dream is the unification of gravity and electromagnetism/light.
Balance and completeness go hand-in-hand. "Ground level reality" is the fact that the self represents, forms, and experiences a comprehensive approximation of experience in general. The union of gravity and electromagnetism/light in dreams is comprehensively indicated in dreams -- and not only in relation to vision. It is because the integrated extensiveness of being and experience go hand-in-hand that the self necessarily represents, forms, and experiences a comprehensive approximation of experience in general.
The TOTALITY of experience has to be considered folks.
If the self did not represent, form, and experience a comprehensive approximation of experience in general, we would be incapable of growth and of becoming other than we are. See the aspects of continuity and transcendency operating at once?
Florin -- Yes, that is Dr. Christian Corda, of course. He has enough common sense, integrity, courage, devotion to truth, and honesty to admit that I am correct. The integrated extensiveness of thought is improved in the truly superior mind. Learn from me; that is perfect. How does the self in its growth -- through all forms -- transition between/overcome the forces in question? Apply that to my ideas. It fits nicely.
Lawrence -- There are serious and fundamental errors regarding our basic understanding(s) of being and experience, believe me.
The integrated extensiveness of being and experience go hand-in-hand.
I have written extensively about this. Initially, you might want to Google DiMeglio Psychologist World to see my two articles there.
The tendency here is to find a small irregularity/inconsistency/error in my description/understanding that can then be used to unravel the entire ball of yarn, so to speak. With all due respect, you will not be able to do this; so do not waste your time. Learn from what I have written. There is a HUGE amout of original and important truth right here in this one post.
None of you have identified a single shortcoming/inconsistency in what I have already proven. My unification will soon be generally accepted as fact/truth, as it should have been already. We are here to learn and to grow.

Frank,
I'll take a swipe at your theory.
You said: "I have demonstrated a comprehensive union and balancing of gravity and electromagnetism/light."
What does that mean? In what way did you demonstrate the union and balancing of gravity and E&M? Was anybody there to watch? What were their observations?
You said: "Dreams improve upon the integrated extensiveness of experience and thought." I like dreams. What does this have to do with unification?
You said: "THE DREAM FUNDAMENTALLY BALANCES AND UNIFIES GRAVITY AND ELECTROMAGNETISM." In what way does dreaming balance and unify gravity and E&M?
Frank, forgive me. I appreciate your enthusiasm. But I want something juicy that I can sink my logic and imagination into. It frustrates me when I talk to New Age idealists whose brains are on electrochemical overdrive. I've been there. But I want to hear a cool idea that can bear the weight of careful inspection. I want the magic to be real. Instead, the magic always dissapates under close scrutiny.
Perhaps both cannot be done. So, either dazzle me with the magic of your ideas, or logically defend them with specifics. If you can do neither, then come back when you can. Until then, your theory shall be smashed upon the rocks of perpetuity.

All FQXI participants, the following is very important.
Steve mentioned memory. The topic of memory is vast. MEMORY INTEGRATES EXPERIENCE. Any credible and complete discussion of memory begins with that statement/great truth. (Francis Bacon speaks of the important need for definitions, and so do I.)
Steve said:
1) "In fact a superior intelligence permits to harmonize the interactions and can help to evolve them ."
2) "All is linked and has the universal memory ,it's evident ."
Consider how balance and completeness go hand-in-hand. Now, this is very important, consider that the natural and integrated extensiveness of being and experience go hand-in-hand. Now look at how the comprehensiveness and consistency of our intention and concern (as they relate to experience in general) is associated with the balance, completeness, truth, and integrated extensiveness of truly superior thinking.
Great truth never comes to those who are not courageous. This is the connection with the greater good; selfishness and fear go hand-in-hand with closed/narrow minds and weakness.
In general, even more so than in the case of lack of love, weakness is the greatest threat that we are currently confronting. Indeed, consider the growing desire to be excessively comfortable.
Those who have looked away from the dream have done so out of fear; therefore, they suffer the lack/loss of wisdom/truth.
The highest/ideal form of genius is full of both true love and the strength/capacity to do the right thing(s).
To confront the truth, one has to confront oneself.
There is no substitute for common sense. It is common sense that the union of Einstein's and Maxwell's theories (that is proven by the addition of the fourth spatial dimension) must be plainly and significantly obvious in our experience. Physicists do not like to admit when they are (and should not have been) so obviously wrong.
I have proven that it is -- even mathematically (one third in BOTH time and space, that is -- in what is our dream experience.
Look at how lying, denying, laziness, fear, lack of true concern, inability to think, inability to handle/face the truth, and selfishness are seen/plainly evident in the ongoing denial/dismissal of my unification and balancing of gravity and electromagnetism/light.
If I wasn't so serious in my devotion/dedication to the advancement of humanity and truth, it would almost appear comical; but it is not funny, not at all. For one, the academics will not admit that I have gotten it right;
there is alot of money that is thrown about/tied up in disagreements that involve the non-consensus/non-attainment of truth. Don't forget, the academics make a fortune by convincing us of the essential need/importance/value of their truths/thinking/education. I got my great truths for free, with tons of hard work, caring, love, and effort.
Let's work toward improving our understanding and achieving a consensus/improvement regarding truth, wisdom, and the advancement of consciousness.

Hi Frank and all ,
I see a lot of works in your analyzes .
It's evident what to have this conclusion shows us a big research of truth .
And when we search and work hard ,the seeds imply a beautiful garden ,simply,evidently,fortunaly....
The world needs universal truth and we must act to harmonize our systems around us .
I think really what the hour is serious on Earth and it's time to work with new global fundations ,balanced ,harmonized ,optimized in correlation with universal laws and its evolution towards complexification and ultim harmony .
Let's take the Africa for exemple,I don't understand ,we can search some water on Mars and people don't have a simple drop .
Incredible reality of our reality .
The humanity is like a Rainbow ,a diversity of colors united in the light and it's difficult to turn off a big fire with one water drop ,nevertheless a whole of drops makes cean .....all is there in my opinion .
It's time to change some fundattions and that for all even the leaders of our planet,I have a message for them ,please friends ,understand what you too you are going to loose all if the exponential of chaotics effects continue to develop itself .
This step is important to change fundamentally our Earth .
The social and civilization responsabilities are importants at this moment and the world must be in the hands of scientists ,of course universal scientists and not capitalist scientists without consciousness.
The solutions exist and we must put them into practice quickly .
It's what i try to do via some platforms ,unite people to act for our fellow man by adapted sciences on ground .They needs help ,I have invented several inventions in Energy ,biomass ,composting(a sphere of composting),ecology ,education,agricultural .....
It's impossible to continue like that on Earth ,it has no sense ,universally .
It's so difficult to unite people in fact ,the individualism is a bad habit correlated with our past evolution,and if we had given instead of exchanging.....it's complex and so simple in the same time .
In all case I continue to create this International Humanistic Sciences Center and I will arrive and all people are welcome if the universal conscious is a personal reality .Frank you are welcome in the future of course ,with pleasure .
I like a word of Dr Naima Benali ,ONE4ALL&ALL4ONE......

I have proven that the Common Chimpanzee is in between (i.e., in the middle of) our dream and waking experiences with regard to what is the integrated extensiveness of their being and experience -- including in time. I have shown this in detail and WITH SPECIFICS. That is gigantic. I put it together again for you all -- in loose form. Some of this info. is repeated more than once, and some of my gravity/electromagnetism info. is included as well.
The following has everything to do with what is the fundamental nature of our experience in general.
Dreams involve a fundamental integration and spreading of being and experience at the mid-range of feeling between thought and sense. The self represents, forms, and experiences a comprehensive approximation of the totality of experience by combining unconscious and conscious experience. Experience then becomes a more direct expression of the self that is increasingly representative of a greater totality of experience as well. In comparison to the Common Chimpanzee, we are understood as being more conscious in conjunction with experience that is (on balance) more unconscious; and this is evident in our waking and dream experiences.
Central to this entire discussion is the fact that if the self did not represent, form, and experience a comprehensive approximation of experience in general, we would be incapable of growth and of becoming other than we are.
The Common Chimpanzee lives comparatively longer than the time we spend sleeping (which includes dreaming), and yet less than the total time (then including waking experience as well) that we live.
Since the self has extensiveness of being and experience (in and with time) in conjunction with the integrated and natural extensiveness of sensory experience, we spend less time dreaming (and sleeping) than waking. The integrated extensiveness of being and experience go hand in hand. Consistent with this, the integrated extensiveness of the being and experience of the Common Chimpanzee is understood to be in the middle (or between) that of our waking and dream experience. The comprehensiveness and consistency of both intention and concern in relation to experience in general is ultimately dependent upon the natural and integrated extensiveness of sensory experience. In keeping with this, consciousness and language involve the ability to represent, form, and experience comprehensive approximations of experience in general; and this includes art and music as well.
The higher desire (or feeling) of genius merges (or balances) increased intentionality of experience with increased concern in order to gain what is a fundamental extension of being, desire, thought, and experience. Given the relatively advanced consciousness (and desire) of the ideal (or highest) form of genius, experience and the self are extended and balanced at a shared and higher level of feeling, and experience becomes increasingly desirable, intentional, and concerning. Experience becomes more extensive and comprehensive as a reflection of desire, for the self then represents, forms, and experiences a comprehensive and consistent approximation of reality. Language then becomes possible in the different sensory modalities. When experience is increasingly intentional, it necessarily is more concerning. The experience of the body makes this readily apparent. When examining dreams, ordinary consciousness, and the experience of genius, it is clear that man has increasingly extensive experience and variety (or range) of habitat because he is capable of greater understanding.
Dreams are an emotional experience that occur during the one third of our lives that we spend sleeping, because emotion is one part (or one third) of feeling, emotion, and thought. Consistent with this, both feeling and thought are proportionately reduced in the dream. Thoughts and emotions are differentiated feelings. Dreams are essential for thoughtful and emotional balance, integration, comprehensiveness, consistency, and resiliency. Indeed, emotion that is comprehensive and balanced advances consciousness. If the self did not represent, form, and experience a comprehensive approximation of experience in general, we would be incapable of growth and of becoming other than we are.
Thought involves a relative reduction in the range and extensiveness of feeling. In keeping with this, dreams make thought more like sensory experience in general. Accordingly, both thought and also the range and extensiveness of feeling are proportionately reduced in the dream. (This reduction in the range and extensiveness of feeling during dreams is consistent with the fact that the experience of smell very rarely occurs therein.) Since there is a proportionate reduction of both thought and feeling during dreams, the experience of the body is generally (or significantly) lacking; for thought is fundamentally rendered more like sensory experience in general. Thoughts and emotions are differentiated feelings. By involving the mid-range of feeling between thought and sense, dreams make thought more like sensory experience in general. The reduction in the range and extensiveness of feeling during dreams is why there is less memory and thought therein.
Comparatively, the life expectancy, inclination of the body (about forty-five degrees while knuckle-walking), and height of the Common Chimpanzee is between, and in the middle of (at about two-thirds), that of our waking and dream/sleeping experience. Their comparative reduction in the range and extensiveness of feeling accounts for the reduction in their extensiveness of experience and variety (or range) of habitat; and this is related to their relative reduction in what is the comprehensiveness and consistency of intention and concern in relation to experience in general. Finally, the comparative reduction in the range and extensiveness of feeling is consistent with their relative reduction in both memory and understanding (or thought).
This is quite revolutionary. THINK before you jump to criticize. Remember, it is much easier to be critical than correct.
Look at the below regarding Chimpanzees. It is GIGANTIC; as it has huge implications/applicability/significance.
There is great value in understanding the basics of being and experience in as comprehensive and consistent a manner as possible.
IN GENERAL, the greater the integrated extensiveness of being and experience (including thought), then the greater is one's autonomy. Now also consider: The dream and genius demonstrate that more must be forgotten in order for new experiences to obtain; but a superior integration and familiarity of experience serves as the basis (or substituted requirement) for this forgetfulness that involves this extension of experience. Moreover, the ability of thought to describe or reconfigure sensory expereince is ultimately dependent upon the extent to which thought is similar to sensory experience. We are outsmarted in the dream --- so smart, it could be said, that we are basically (or generally) stupid. However, the dream combines and includes opposites, and this is not only the connection with creativity; but, importantly, this is why dream experience is different from waking. The integrated extensiveness of thought/thinking is improved in the truly superior mind.
The natural and integrated extensiveness of being and experience go hand in hand -- in and with time as well. So (moreover), since the self represents, forms, and experiences a comprehensive approximation of experience in general, the Common Chimpanzee is in the middle of (between) our dreaming and waking experiences. Their being and experience is more extensive than that of our dreams. (Note the 90 degree angle -- hint: gravity --- of our waking and dream experiences.) We are more conscious in conjunction with experience that is (on balance) more unconscious -- comparatively, in our dream and waking experiences. Accordingly:
1) They live two thirds as long as we do, comparatively (in captivity, of course).
2) They walk at about a 45 degree angle --- and this is associated with the reduction in their range and extensiveness of feeling. (Thoughts and emotions are differentiated feelings.)
3) Their body length is about two thirds of ours.
4) Another example, when they want a banana, they extend their arm in a closing of the hand/fingers that is between our grasping and pointing.
NOTE: We spend one third of our lives sleeping. (Sleeping includes dreaming.)
The comprehensiveness and consistency of intention and concern in relation to experience in general has everything to do with:
1) Emotion that is comprehensive and balanced.
2) Advanced consciousness (and thought).
3) Language.
4) Wonder.
Dreams make thought more like sensory experience in general (including gravity and electromagnetism).
Also....Dreams are visible and invisible. The body is invisible and visible....
The requirement of the unification of gravity and electromagnetism is a larger and smaller space AT ONCE. This is why the energy level and lighting of the dream is perfect and constant. Look at the feeling and brightness of electromagnetic space -- from photons to the Sun --- invisible to blindingly bright; and how this is associated with feeling.
The dream occurs at the mid-range of [gravitational] feeling between thought and sense. Moreover, the energy/brightness of the lighting level therein enjoins visible and invisible. Note that electromagnetic space (e.g., photons and the Sun) is larger and smaller than typical or ordinary space (including the Earth). Gravity is repulsive and attractive in the dream. The dream unifies large and small. The dream is visible and invisible, isn't it?
I have extensive writings that thoroughly reinforce, extend, and link what I have said in this post.
Thought, emotion, feeling -- a very fundamental and important division/union of our being and experience.
I am here to teach, and to learn as well.
I welcome your thoughtful questions and criticisms on all of this.
I am concerned with the deepest and most foundational aspects of our being and experience.
Here, in closing, is an accurate, expanded, clear, and important definition/understanding of memory:
"Memory integrates experience and is necessary for the improved integration of a greater totality of experience; and here lies its connection with the advancement of consciousness and genius. Memory increases (or adds to) the extensiveness, desirability, predictability, and intentionality of experience. Memory is an aid with regard to the extensiveness of intentionality in regard to experience. The loss (or reduction) in both memory and the intentionality of experience that occurs in the dream helps to explain why we are basically (or significantly) without the use of our body therein."
Note how dreams are similar to memory.
Importantly, time is dependent upon the integrated extensiveness of being and experience (including space and thought).
Here are some basics regarding the fundamental nature of being, experience, and time:
Since the self has extensiveness of being and experience (in and with time) in conjunction with the integrated and natural extensiveness of sensory experience, we spend less time dreaming (and sleeping) than waking. The integrated extensiveness of being and experience go hand in hand. Consistent with this, the integrated extensiveness of the being and experience of the Common Chimpanzee is understood to be in the middle (or between) that of our waking and dream experience. Accordingly, the Common Chimpanzees live two-thirds as long as we do (in captivity, of course). In comparison to the Common Chimpanzee, we are understood as being more conscious in conjunction with experience that is (on balance) more unconscious; and this is evident in our waking and dream experiences.
Dreams are an emotional experience that occur during the one third of our lives that we spend sleeping, because emotion is one part (or one third) of feeling, emotion, and thought. Consistent with this, both feeling and thought are proportionately reduced in the dream. Thoughts and emotions are differentiated feelings. Dreams are essential for thoughtful and emotional balance, integration, comprehensiveness, consistency, and resiliency. Indeed, emotion that is comprehensive and balanced advances consciousness. If the self did not represent, form, and experience a comprehensive approximation of experience in general, we would be incapable of growth and of becoming other than we are.
It can be seen that in comparison to the Common Chimpanzee, the self does represent, form, and experience a comprehensive approximation of experience IN GENERAL.
This is, indeed, not only a great truth, but it is also a new description/understanding of experience in general.
Your comments and questions are very welcome.

Hi Steve. Thanks for your messages and the invite. I appreciate it and might take you up on it one day. I'm glad that you seek to grow and learn, and that you have the open mind that is the requirement of same.
The dream is structured like memory. However, a new and much expanded definition/understanding of memory is definitely in order. (I have clearly shown this). Memory adds to the integrated extensiveness of experience and thought; memory integrates experience.
The dream seems to allow for what happened in the past -- to occur as a comprehensive approximation/likeness thereof -- in the future. The dream involves, and is demonstrative of, our becoming other than we are. Dreams add to the integrated extensiveness of thought, being, and experience. Clearly Steve, this is why they unify electromagnetism amd gravity. Electromagneitsm/light and gravity are fundamental to life; they are united in the dream. You will not admit that this is correct? My unification is fundamental, simple, comprehensive, complete, and consistent. In fact, my unification is more true or accurate/complete than either Einstein's theory or Maxwell's theory because it completes both of these theories and also enjoins the whole. You physicists, of all people, should know that you have to consider the totality of the system/experience.
You have to be bold when it comes to the truth.
The distinctions that I have made/identified -- between dream and waking experience -- are very useful/important (as I have shown) -- these distinctions are not to be confused, obliterated, or removed. I did not say that waking experience is a dream; dreams fade as do memories; importantly, we ultimately fade in time as well. Dreams are real; they are what they are. If our experience is not real, then what is? No two people ever see or experience the same thing anyway, whether while waking or in the dream.
THINK about it. There is then, ultimately, no true distinction between interior and exterior. The integrated and natural extensiveness of being and experience go hand-in-hand in and with time. It is that simple.
Note that the constant energy and lighting during dream experience --- and no fatigue, tiredness, or lack of energy --- is consistent with unifying and fundamentally balancing electromagnetism/light, energy, and gravity/feeling.
Reality must be understood (in varying degrees, of course) as involving (or pertaining to) what is the integrated extensiveness of being and experience (including thought). There is another critical dictionary definition. This definition clearly identifies the dream as real.
Look at how bizarre and pathetic it is that you Steve are the only one with any questions for me.
FQXi participants, who among you has the spine, brain, and heart to admit that I have unified gravity and electromagnetism/light? Stop lying, and start telling the truth.
I am open to any questions.

Steve, also, it was wise of you to point to "imagination" in your prior post, in reference to my ideas on dreams and waking experience. Similarly, here is what Dr. Christian Corda, PhD said about my unification of gravity and electromagnetism/light:
"Ok Frank, I signal and endorse your essay to colleagues within the scientific community. Cheers, Ch."
and...
" Dear Frank, I have carefully read your essay in last weekend. Here are my comments: 1) from the philosophy's point of view it is excellent, it looks written by following the famous Einstein's aphorism "Imagination is more important than knowledge" "
Dreams add to the integrated extensiveness of being, thought, and experience (and space) in and with time by making sensory experience in general (including electromagnetism and gravity) more like thought. This is seen in the past/present/future extensiveness of the thoughts of true genius, and in keeping with the increased predictability of events/experience as well.
The above paragraph is yet another example of the superior thoroughness of my explanation regarding said unification.
This is why the dream is unfathomably brilliant; for this is in keeping with the fact that it is the manifestation/experience of the unification of gravity and electromagnetism/light. On balance, however, thought is reduced in the dream.
In the case of the highest/true/ideal form of genius, the integrated extensiveness of thinking/thought towers over others. This form of genius is
exceedingly rare.

Hi Frank ,all,
Thanks for your explaination.
Indeed I am on Earth to learn ,it's my reason of life ,learn and act .Because for me there is any Faith without acts .Here on FQXi I learned from all ,Lawrence ,Ray ,Jason ,Georgina,Amrit ,Frank ....The sharing of knowledges and imaginations,ideas is so ,so important .I take in fact what I think is foundamental .All ideas ,theories can be improved whith this simple fact ,the complementarity towards truths and truth .
I have some ideas for you Frank ,in Neurophysiology.
If we resume our brain ,here is some parameters for attraction and repulsion .The feelings are near the language in specifics brain areas .In fact we have in resume 4 main areas ,the sensitive area,the memmory ,the motion,the language .If we take thus the wake up with its electro encephalogram.The cortex with stimulis and the thalamus thus are in a specific phase ,very short .It's relevant about the electric frequences .Thus we can go more far with the electric links with Thalamus ,the center and with the little brain behind .The perception thus can be extrapolated with this limit of peception,in deed the interactions corticals and subcorticals with the different impulsions .It's relevant I think about the imagination.
Let's go more far with the rule of acids like alpha cetoglutaric acid with H20 and NH3 ,the amination is relevant ...in resume alpha cetog acid+NH3 H2O---other acid(hydrogenation)...NAD+..NADH+H(+)....glutamic acid ...still an amination(NH3..H2O)...there the decarboxylation(CO2),amination(NH3..H2O) and an other interexting the transamination and the pyruvic acid.....the alanine ,the glutamin,and the amino butyric acid are relevants for the captors .Let's take too the rule of NA K Cl.....
If we take the stimulis and the different + and - ,with the frequence ...thus .....it's possible to link all .

Hi Steve, all:
Very IMPORTANT facts/truth on language and genius/improved thinking:
"Given the successful and increased involvement of the unconscious, the self is able to increase consciousness by representing, forming, and experiencing more consistent, desirable, and extensive (or accurate) approximations of what is a greater totality of experience. Memory and attention are then improved, and this is how language becomes possible."
AND...
"Given the relatively advanced consciousness (and desire) of the ideal (or highest) form of genius, experience and the self are extended and balanced at a shared and higher level of feeling, and experience becomes increasingly desirable, intentional, and concerning. Experience becomes more extensive and comprehensive as a reflection of desire, for the self then represents, forms, and experiences a comprehensive and consistent approximation of reality. Language then becomes possible in the different sensory modalities."
These two paragraphs are required reading/knowledge for all who want to better understand genius (or improved thinking) and language.
--------------------
Balance and completeness/comprehensiveness go hand-in-hand. That is a great rule of thumb to employ in the development of improved understanding/theories.
I am glad that you see that the unification of opposites involves balance and completeness.
--------------------
In astronomical observations, isn't the higher gravity in astro. obs. related to the repulsive aspect ON BALANCE? In other words, can we say that the added gravity is offset/balanced by increased repulsion/detachment? We can -- what most people do not know/understand is that astro. obs. (say, of galaxies) are of a larger and smaller space at once.
----------------------------
I am not really familiar with what you posted in the two paragraphs under neurophysiology; but, I hope that my ideas were a help to you with same.

ALL FQXi participants: I'm not nearly finished with your lessons. These first lessons are just the beginning; but you need to master these basics first, just like in mathematics; I will then be in a position to teach/enlighten you even more.
The fundamentally interactive nature of being, experience, and thought is undeniable, as follows:
The ability of thought to describe or reconfigure sensory experience is ultimately dependent upon the extent to which thought is similar to sensory experience. Dreams make sensory experience in general (including gravity and electromagnetism) more like thought. Accordingly, the unification of Maxwell's and Einstein's theories (in a fourth spatial dimension) is plainly and significantly evident in/as the dream. Dreams involve a fundamental integration and spreading of being and experience at the [gravitational] mid-range of feeling BETWEEN thought AND sense. Dreams add to the integrated extensiveness of being, experience, and thought in and with time.
The natural and integrated extensiveness of being and experience go hand-in-hand -- in and with time as well. I have proven this definitively.
The self, represents, forms, and experiences a comprehensive approximation of experience in general. Also, the self represents, forms, and experiences comprehensive approximations of experience in general. If the self did not represent, form, and experience a comprehensive approximation of experience in general, we would be incapable of growth and of becoming other than we are.

The main problem is our human nature and our young universal age .

Dreams add to the integrated extensiveness of being, experience, and thought in and with time.
The natural and integrated extensiveness of being and experience go hand-in-hand -- in and with time as well. I have proven this definitively. Witness the following:
Dreams are an emotional experience that occur during the one third of our lives that we spend sleeping, because emotion is one part (or one third) of feeling, emotion, and thought. Consistent with this, both feeling and thought are proportionately reduced in the dream. Thoughts and emotions are differentiated feelings. Dreams are essential for thoughtful and emotional balance, integration, comprehensiveness, consistency, and resiliency. Indeed, emotion that is comprehensive and balanced advances consciousness. If the self did not represent, form, and experience a comprehensive approximation of experience in general, we would be incapable of growth and of becoming other than we are.
The totality of the system/experience has to be considered.
Do you not agree with this: "The fourth dimension must be understood as additive (in regard to space) as well as being subtractive (on balance) as well."
The self, represents, forms, and experiences a comprehensive approximation of experience in general. Also, the self represents, forms, and experiences comprehensive approximations of experience in general. If the self did not represent, form, and experience a comprehensive approximation of experience in general, we would be incapable of growth and of becoming other than we are.
The 4th space dimension gives us Einstein's theory of gravity (general relativity) AND electromagnetism (Maxwell's theory of light). We know this.
Moreover, it is common sense that this union is plainly and obviously evident in our experience.
1) I have demonstrated a comprehensive union and balancing of gravity and electromagnetism/light.
2) Dreams improve upon the integrated extensiveness of experience and thought.
3) Dreams involve a fundamental integration and spreading of being and experience at the MID-RANGE of [gravitational] feeling between thought AND sense.
4) Dreams make thought more like sensory experience in general (including gravity and electromagnetism).
5) The ability of thought to describe or reconfigure sense is ultimately dependent upon the extent to which thought is similar to sense.
My understanding/description of how the dream constitutes the union of gravity and electromagnetism/light is complete, fundamental, simple, comprehensive, and consistent. It is lacking nothing.
See: The Dream Fundametally Balances and Unifies Gravity and Electromagnetism
http://radicalacademy.com/studentrefphilfmd1
3.htm
I have even mathematically demonstrated/proven it in a fundamental fashion; as I have shown the three to one (one third) relation of BOTH space (the three space dimensions in relation to the 4th space dimension) AND time (3 to 1 in Einstein's theory of gravity) in dreams; as dreams occur during the one third of our lives that we spend sleeping. Or, you could say that the extension in space (three to one, or one third) is consistent with extension in time. Note: there are three parts of time as well -- past, present, future.
Electromagnetism/light and gravity are fundamental to life. They are united in the dream. The totality of experience has to be considered.
To think that the union between Einstein's theory of gravity and electromagnetism (i.e., Maxwell's theory of light) is not plainly and significantly obvious/manifest in our experience is one of the greatest blunders regarding lack of common sense that I have ever seen.
Electromagnetism involves extremes of feeling, brightness, visibility, size, and energy. Gravity and electromagnetism/light are united at the [gravitational] mid-range of feeling between thought and sense. When scale is balanced, gravity is repulsive and attractive as electromagnetic energy/light and feeling. I have demonstated all of this in/as the dream.
Demonstrate gravity as attractive and repulsive -- in keeping with relatively constant (and proper) lighting, energy, and brightness -- in a space that is at once understood to be larger and smaller. The space must also be invisible and visible at once. I have demonstrated ALL of this in/as dream experience.
You now have electromagnetism/light as gravitational space. Space manifesting as BOTH gravitational AND electromagnetic/light energy. (Constant energy as well.)
The union of gravity and electromagnetism/light in a fourth spatial dimension completes, balances, and extends Einstein's theory. (Don't forget, Einstein's theory is incomplete, as it shows that space/the universe is EITHER expanding OR contracting.) It demonstrates thought that is more like sensory experience in general. The ability of thought to describe or reconfigure sense is ultimately dependent upon the integrated extensiveness of thought, experience, and being. Indeed, the ability of thought to describe or reconfigure sense is ultimately dependent upon the extent to which thought is similar to sensory experience. Dreams make thought more like sensory experience in general. Dreams involve a fundamental integration and spreading of being and experience (including thought) at the mid-range of feeling BETWEEN thought AND sense.
I have unified gravity and electromagnetism/light, in and with time as well.
If Paul Davies came up with this, it would be all over the newspapers, journals, and magazines already; and many physicists would have already admitted that it was true.

Hi Steve, the extensivness of our being, experience, and thought is tied to the comprehensiveness and consistency of our intention and concern (in relation to experience in general). This relates to truly elevated and sustained desire/intentions.
Steve -- do we not see the following on this forum? Those who think from a position of selfishness involving narrowness of mind often do so because their desires/attention/thoughts are narrowed, shifting, and unsustained/unsustainable.
Some words now on mathematics.
My technique/training, when it comes to mathematics, is not advanced enough to comment upon what you have written. I did not receive advanced training in mathematics. My ability to see [overall] mathematical relationships/balance when it comes to the "big picture" is advanced, however. Indeed, on mathematics aptitude/ability tests, I have scored extremely high in the past.
Explain your ideas to me on this in as simple and straightforward a manner as you can please, and I would be glad to give you my thoughts on it.
Mathematics plays a subordinate role when it comes to truly great thinking involving the highest/ideal form of genius. Generally speaking, mathematics requires narrow thinking (and often, very narrow thinking), in comparison with the highest form of TRUE genius.
Growth and openess (expansiveness) of mind/thinking are inseparable.
Do we not see this closed mindedness in the denials of my unification of gravity and electromagnetism/light here at FQXi?
I am glad that you seek to truly grow Steve, and that you are not so narrow minded and selfish in your interests, concerns, intentions, and intelligence.

Steve, don't you think that string theory and the PHYSICIST'S Theory of Everything are lies? Isn't that clear? Both of these claims are meant (and designed) to generate tons of different, conflicting, and never-ending ideas in order to maximize funding, grants, and university positions. String theory is garbage -- an abyss into which money is poured.
The "truth" has increasingly become directed, based, and dependent on power, politics, and money. Look at peer-review. The academics HAVE to assert that they have all the supreme truths in order to justify the increasing money that you pay for THEIR truths. But, I present a problem. My unification is a "show/money/position stopper/reducer". What if one can attain to a
higher and better understanding FOR FREE, without any degree(s)? This devalues educational costs/value/authority significantly. The academics get all sorts of funding, press, and recognition with their garbage ideas.
Money is made by non-attainment and non-consensus of truth these days in order to maximize the money that is available in conjunction with same.
I will check out your ideas. I am a little tied up today.
My unification of gravity and electromagnetism/light in/as dream experience
is largely denied or ignored due to envy, selfishness, stupidity, politics, money, and power/control rights.
Why has the FACT of the definitive mathematical union of gravity and electromagnetism/light been denied for so long? The mathematical proof is there ALREADY -- the physical significance and reality of this union and proof is the dream. I have proven this definitively.

Frank,
Don't you think that String theory is an attempt to make sense out of Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity, two foundation stones that are completely incompatible with each other, yet they predict every physics experiment ever performed.
I can assure you that physicists are not in this for my money or power because they have neither. They are in it both because it's fun, and because, deep down, they want fame. Most of them want to figure out the real secrets of the universe so that their name will be remembered like Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein.
Money and power always play a roll, but not for the reasons you think. The money will pursue the idea that has the best chance of being correct. Furthermore, there is no secret advanced technology that the government and/or the rich hide from everybody else. There is no cure for cancer or UFO technology, other than the best guess of a few.
FUNDAMENTAL FACT: The rich and powerful always get first opportunity to try new technology because they are the ones who fund it and risk the money; hence, the cost is always high. BY NATURAL LAW, the rich and powerful know they can make more money and accumulate more power if they bring the cost down until the middle class and the poor can afford it.
Frank, If you know how to truly unify GR and QM, then present a hyperdrive technology. Explain how you would do it. I'd really like to read something thoughtful and articulate on the subject.

Too much money is made by never ending arguments (like string theory and TOE) and by changing experience from what is natural (to too much of an extent). FACTS. I advocate the advancement of life and consciousness and understanding -- not its disintegration, fragmentation, and division.

Frank,
I considered an attractive and resulsive gravity in two ways. First, one can consider regular mass and then, also negative mass; opposite mass-charge would repel instead of attract, as it does with Coulomb charges. Second, by manipulating space itself through the Cosmological constant. This is speculative on my part, but it fits with the general idea of Big Bangs, inflationary and expanding universes, and it is compatible with GR. As for unifying GR with QM, from what I read, I think you need to go deeper into the two subjects to find something more specific to work with. I am always here if you want to bounce around some creative ideas. IMO, GR might be explained in terms of inflatable universes and a dynamic Cosmological potential. As for unification, I'm starting to get a bad feeling that h-bar cannot be gauranteed to be the same for every brane/universe. If there was another universe whose h-bar was different from ours by 30 orders of magnitude, it could pass right through us, and doubt we would ever notice it.
Money has its own kind of truth; it flows through the lives of those who don't know how to save it or cannot find a way to save it. Money is used by a few very brilliant individuals to make more money. The rich are more honest that the poor give them credit for being. The rich have to be very careful about how they invest their money because there is always a hungry lawyer somewhere looking for a few c-notes to munch on. Hiring lawyers to defend one's wealth gets expensive as well. In the long run, it's better just to obey the law.
As for honesty, it takes a tremendous amount of though, hard work and angst to expose one's own ideas to scrutiny; it's like sharpening a sword that feels every stroke of the stone.

The known union of gravity and electromagnetism/light -- in the fourth dimension of space that unites Einsten's theory of gravity with Maxwell's theory of light/electromagnetism -- must be understood as balancing scale by making gravity both repulsive and attractive as electromagnetic energy/light.
Einstein's theory is already balanced, extended, and properly completed/verified by said union.
This union of gravity and electromagnetism is already mathematically proven/demonstrated by the addition of the fourth spatial dimension; and, this must be plainly and significantly obvious in our experience; and, it is -- in the experience of dreaming.
Why would you all not have any questions on this? This is so important for many reasons! None of you agree with this? Open your minds. Stop only thinking what you are told! -- that is one of the big shortcomings of physicists. What good is a PhD if you can only regurgitate what you have been taught? You PhD's, in fact, have all of these ideas that you were taught so hammered/engrained in your minds, that it has significantly narrowed, reduced, and obstructed your ability to think more expansively/differently/creatively.

Frank,
I glanced at your political philosophy. I didn't see anything drastically different from what I believe. American wages are going south and there may be nothing that Obama can really do about it.
Your preoccupation with dreams, thought, sense, feeling, etc make me curious. Are you trying to keep track of the laws of physics using states of your own consciousness? There is only one really good and reliable way to shift between states of consciousness; that is with medication. Other ways are often subject to environmental stresses.
As for making gravity both attractive and repulsive, how do you think we should do that? I've already suggested that the Cosmological constant is really a Cosmological gas that inflates our universe and causes particles/forces and fields to change with respect to time. By allowing one region to inflate and another nearby to deflate, you can create a space-time curvature and therefore a graviational force. The Alcubierre drive relies upon exotic particles and negative energy to make space expand. That will provide useful clues to figuring out if my proposed mechanism is correct, or if some other mechanism makes more sense.

Brevity does not equal wit, elagance or correctness. It only provides a simple target to shoot at, and very few pieces to rebuild with into something useful. It's also a little bit short on HOW.
I am enormously pleased that you asked the hard question: what is MASS. I have not completely solved that riddle. However, E
2 = p
2c
2 + (mc
2)
2 relates mass and momentum/velocity to energy in a way that appears incomplete; I expect a third term that will reveal the behaviour of a spherical cross section to a hypersphere. The Higgs field, if it exists, will be fundamentally related to this Schwartzchild hypersphere in the same way that quivers and vertices depict particles and forces.
I am still fitting pieces to the puzzle. If you can fit those pieces in some specific and meaningful way, I'd like to hear it. If you are going to be vague and just repeat dreams and unification, without getting specific, I'll have to move on to something more stimulating and useful.

I think what the mass is directly proportional with these rotations of quantum spheres .If it's correct ,all is unified .Now of course I have many improvemets to make but I am persuaded it's fundamental .
Even the sense of rotations and the angle imply the sense of attraction and of repulsion.
You know Frank ,there are many interesting people here on FQXi who can help you to improve your model mathematically,I think what a model is never finished and can be always optimized by the complemenatrity .

Dear Frank,
We have successfully divided intelligence and conscience into scientific and spiritual communities. Intelligence or science alone cannot answer the fundamental questions of who we really are and what is the purpose of the creation. Scientific community is terming the self or conscience as singularity and is unable to define it mathematically to fit in its theories. Some of these scientific theories suggest that there is no singularity and some of them thinnk it is infinite. In fact conscience is both "absolutely" nothing and "relatively" infinite at the same time. I am posting in these forums for the future generations to understand the significance of scientific spirituality and importance of self realization and beauty of love. It is out of love of the self or singularity that everything emerges and eventually has to merge back in it.
Conscience is the cosmological constant. Intelligence is the cosmological variant.
Hence several inelligent or complex theories of the truth.
Truth or conscience is simple, accepting it is not.
You are right about saying
"We, and our experience, originate at/from the center of the human body."
Yes, I is in the heart which is the center of the human body and the universe.

Smaller and larger space are combined in dreams in keeping with inertial and gravitational equivalency and balancing. This balances attraction and repulsion in keeping with the experience of the middle distance in/of space.
The increase in inertia proportionately balances the decrease in gravity, so this makes [middle] force/energy equivalent with [middle] distance in/of space.
