ORIGINS OF MATTER. “Let us follow the folklore: at the end of inflation, the energy stored in the quanta of spacetime foam would be converted into hot ordinary particles (as well as dark matter).” https://lnkd.in/eA85pA5X View in LinkedIn

SCALE ILLUSTRATED. “The interesting thing about the human scale is that both gravity and electromagnetism are very significant for us in our everyday lives, whereas the weak and strong nuclear forces are of marginal concern (except in certain parts of modern technology).” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

DEDUCTIONS. “We conclude with two observations the first of which involves the crucial question of whether our approach yields enough e-folds of inflation to solve the myriad of cosmological problems.” https://lnkd.in/eA85pA5X View in LinkedIn

INVERSE RELATION. “These two ways of measuring are ‘dual’ to each other in the mathematical sense that the greater the energy, the smaller the distances that can be resolved.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

NONLOCAL FOAM. “The scheme also provides a rationale for why inflation lasted only briefly (say, ∼ 10(−33) sec.) as the turbulent phase was quickly terminated due to the nonlocal (extended) property of the quanta of spacetime foam.” https://lnkd.in/eA85pA5X View in LinkedIn

THE ISSUE OF SCALE. “As the scale changes, the relative importance of the different forces changes. There are two ways the scale-change can be measured. One way is directly in terms of distance and time, and the other way is indirectly in terms of speed and energy.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

CONSEQUENCES. “It is also natural in that inflation was inevitable as turbulence set off by the Planckian dynamics was inevitable in the early Universe.” https://lnkd.in/eA85pA5X View in LinkedIn

THE DOGMA. “There are four recognised forces of nature, namely gravity, electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force (responsible for radioactivity) and the strong nuclear force (responsible for holding the nucleus of an atom together), in order from large to small scale.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

OCCAM’S RAZOR. “One attractive feature of our present proposal is that the scheme is very economical, involving no arbitrary or fine-tuned parameters.” https://lnkd.in/eA85pA5X View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM VS CLASSICAL. “But this begs the question of how spacetime on the scale of elementary particles relates to spacetime on the human scale.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn
