CONTAINED SPIN. “That image provides a model for how electrons, protons and neutrons ‘spin’— something is ‘holding on’ to them. That something, I maintain, is the rest of the universe, and the way it is holding on is by the various forces of nature, most importantly electromagnetism, but also including gravity.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

VISUALIZATION. “This is not as mysterious as it sounds, and can be visualised with an ordinary coffee mug: if you rotate it through 360◦ on a table it comes back to where it started. Now try to keep hold of the mug as you rotate it in the air in front of you: after 360◦ you will find your arm is uncomfortably twisted, but if you keep going through another 360◦ in the same direction, you will find your arm has somehow magically untwisted itself.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

TRIANGULATION. “Since pressure (energy density) is given by kinetic energy minus (plus) potential energy, a negligible kinetic energy means that the pressure of the unconventional energy is roughly equal to minus its energy density, leading to accelerating cosmic expansion, in agreement with observation.” https://lnkd.in/eA85pA5X View in LinkedIn

THE ISSUE OF SPIN. “Ordinary spinning objects return to their original state after rotating through 360◦. Quantum mechanics is based on the idea that certain fundamental particles, including the electron, proton and neutron that make up all of ordinary matter, ‘spin’ in a different way: they have to rotate through two whole revolutions, that is 720◦, before they return to their original state.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

DUAL NATURE. “These long-wavelength bits or “particles” (quanta of spacetime HH foam) carry negligible kinetic energy. (Note: Such long-wavelength quanta 3 can hardly be called particles. We will simply call them “particles” in quotation marks.).” https://lnkd.in/eA85pA5X View in LinkedIn

INFORMATION IN COSMOS. “We have also shown that the Universe contains I ∼ (RH/lP)2 bits of information (∼10(120) for the current epoch).” https://lnkd.in/eA85pA5X View in LinkedIn

FROTHY EARLY TIMES. “So, was spacetime turbulent in the early universe? To this question we now sketch a positive response.” https://lnkd.in/eA85pA5X View in LinkedIn

TURBULENT FROTH. “Nevertheless one important aspect of the early Universe appears to be missing in HFC. It is connected to the expectation (supported by Wheeler’s insight) that, due to quantum fluctuations, spacetime, when probed at very small scales, as is the case for the early universe, will appear very complicated —- something akin in complicity to a chaotic turbulent froth.” https://lnkd.in/eA85pA5X View in LinkedIn

WONDERLAND UNDERPINNINGS. “Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real. If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.” (Niels Bohr). https://lnkd.in/ewqarGvD View in LinkedIn
