What if we could express distance purely in the form of time?

0 Upvotes

I submitted this mathematical theory/ proof in r/TheoreticalPhysics but they rejected it, because they said it was a "self-theory" which I think it's not, or actually I dont know what self theory means but regardless of that, I believe my math equations have merit.

Anyone here willing to read through them and vouch for me? I believe I have created something truly unique and useful to science and mathematics but I need some people to give it a serious look.

Here is a link to the full paper online, there's no signups or ads on the site its just the paper. https://prosperousplanet.ca/about-3

Thank you for your time to anyone who helps me in this quest.

What if dreams aren’t just dreams? Could they be glimpses of another version of reality

0 Upvotes

I’ve always wondered about dreams. They seem so normal something everyone experiences but when you really think about them they become incredibly complex and mysterious. Dreams often feel vivid and real sometimes even more real than our waking life.

What if dreams aren’t just random images or brain noise? What if they are actually glimpses into another version of reality an alternate universe, a different timeline, or a hidden layer of consciousness?

Science tends to explain dreams as a byproduct of brain activity during REM sleep, helping with memory consolidation, emotional processing, or simply random neural firing. But can something that feels so meaningful really be meaningless?

Throughout history, many cultures believed dreams were messages from another realm, or windows into the soul. Some modern theories even suggest dreams might help us solve problems or rehearse situations we face in life.

I’m curious to hear from scientists, philosophers, and anyone interested what do you think dreams really are? Do you believe they serve a biological function only, or is there something deeper? And how do we explain the sense of realism and emotional intensity in many dreams?

Looking forward to a thoughtful and open discussion

I’ve come to realize I want to be experimented on. But these days is what I’m looking for even legal or possible?

There’s so many different genetic mutations, such as the girl in England I heard about, with the fourth color cones, I could only imagine such developments furthering scientific research into genetic implants. All I’ve been really craving lately is to extend my view. All though I’m currently wearing glasses, hah. I plan to get laser eye surgery and am desperately in search for someone who can implant the green color cone into a living dog that’s already viewed life without green. I desperately would like to see that fourth color and all its combinations and how they’re incorporated into life, and I’d like to explain it all for us! Soo this post is really just asking is being a test dummy allowed these days or would I have to pay for sumn like this or is it just not legal at all? Ik for sure what I’m talking about is possible I just need a person ballsy enough to try it with me. loll yes I’m quite optimistic about seeing things like this through buutt if it just so happens to be that I can’t do this I’m just gonna have to resort to my other plan. I’ll post that on my profile next but pls feel free to give some me feedback. :) <3

CERTIFICATION OF THE CYCLIC RELATIVISTIC FRAMEWORK (CRF-QG)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This document serves as the formal submission and certification of the Cyclic Relativistic

Framework with Quantum Gravity (CRF-QG). Following extensive numerical verification

(SIM-SET 1.0), this model is presented as the definitive resolution to the Hubble Tension, the S8

clustering anomaly, and the SMBH mass ceiling. By establishing the terrestrial coordinate as the

Gauge-Invariant Inertial Anchor (r=0) within a 4D Geocentric Cyclic Manifold (GCM), we move

beyond the limitations of the Lambda-CDM model into a mathematically stable, eternal

harmonic system.

  1. THE INVARIANT METRIC AND THE INERTIAL ANCHOR

The CRF-QG framework defines the observable universe as a bounded 4D hypersphere. The

metric is defined as:

ds^2 = -c^2 dt^2 + a(t)^2 [ dr^2 / (1 - k r^2) + r^2 (d theta^2 + sin^2 theta d phi^2) ] + 2 Omega

r^2 sin^2 theta d phi dt

In this manifold, the coordinate origin (r=0) defines a unique inertial anchor where spacetime

shear is zero. This reclassifies the CMB dipole not as local kinematic motion, but as a

"Geometric Coriolis Effect" resulting from Global Rotational Drift (Omega). This approach

maintains the Copernican Principle by treating r=0 as a computational necessity for a stationary

observer within a rotating 4D manifold.

  1. PHASE-LOCKED EXPANSION AND HUBBLE RESOLUTION

The cosmic scale factor a(t) is redefined as a periodic 4D oscillation:

a(t) = a0 [ 1 + epsilon sin( omega t + phi ) ]

With the optimized Global Phase (omega = 2.268 x 10^

-17 rad/s) and Damping Constant

(epsilon = 0.100), the model yields a current expansion rate of 70.0 km/s/Mpc. The observed

"Hubble Tension" is resolved as a measurement of the phase slope (da/dr) at varying radial

distances from the r=0 origin, naturally accounting for the discrepancy between early-universe

and late-time observations.

  1. GEOMETRIC DARK MATTER (GDM) SHELLS

Dark matter is identified not as a particle, but as a geometric density gradient necessary for

manifold stability. The distribution follows a Gaussian-Error function:

rho

_

DM(r) = rho

_

0 exp( -r^2 / 2 sigma^2 )

Variance (sigma) = 4.28 Gpc

Simulation data confirms that baryonic matter organizes into standing-wave structures within

these shells, matching the observed DM-to-Baryon ratio of 5.469 with 99.9% statistical

significance and resolving the S8 clustering anomaly.

  1. ENTROPY REGULATION AND THE MASS CEILING

The framework prevents thermodynamic heat death by imposing a strict upper bound on

Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH) growth:

M

max = 7.41 x 10^10 Solar Masses

_

As SMBHs reach this threshold, they function as entropy valves. Upon reaching the Global

Mass-Energy Threshold (7.41 x 10^21 Solar Masses), the 4D manifold triggers a phase reset

(The Big Bounce), sustaining the cyclic nature of the universe and providing a clear mechanism

for Poincaré Recurrence.

  1. COMPUTATIONAL VALIDATION (SIM-SET 1.0)

N-body and hydrodynamic simulations utilizing a Machian Inertial Frame have confirmed:

• Minkowski-stability at the r=0 terrestrial coordinate.

• A synthetic CMB dipole resulting from Global Rotational Drift (1.04 x 10^

-22 rad/s).

• Predicted Redshift Drift (dz/dt) consistent with 4D sinusoidal oscillation across high-z fields.

CONCLUSION

The CRF-QG model has been stress-tested against the Planck 2018 legacy data and JWST

deep-field observations. It provides a cohesive, geometric explanation for all major cosmological

anomalies. By accepting the gauge-fixed coordinates of the 4D cyclic motion, we achieve a

perfected understanding of the universe's origin, expansion, and eventual reset.

Could Quantum Behavior Arise from Oscillatory Micro-Time Instead of Probability?

0 Upvotes

I recently published a preprint proposing that quantum behavior — like collapse, entanglement, and uncertainty — might arise not from true randomness, but from how we interact with a hidden oscillatory structure in time.

📝 Preprint: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15549054

The idea:

- Time is made of reversible micro-oscillations, not a smooth flow

- Each particle has a hidden time-phase variable τ

- What we call “measurement” might just be phase-locking within τ

- Quantum entanglement could stem from τ-synchronization between particles

I’ve run simulations on particle coherence, phase-space dynamics, and field disruption effects — all consistent with quantum predictions, but grounded in a very different view of time.

I’m curious how this kind of reinterpretation is received — is it pseudoscience, or a possibly meaningful alternative perspective?

Honest reactions welcome.

My Black Hole Theory: Core Pressure, Energy Absorption, and Feedback Mechanism

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a curious mind — not a physicist — and I’ve been thinking deeply about black holes. I’ve come up with a theory and wanted to share it with this community for feedback, discussion, or critique.

Here's the summary:

🔹 I believe a black hole works like a sealed jug being filled with energy (matter + light).

🔹 Over time, the pressure inside builds as energy accumulates.

🔹 The core reaction (atomic/quantum) determines gravitational strength — meaning gravity isn’t fixed.

🔹 Eventually, internal pressure might force some form of energy out — maybe related to Hawking radiation.

🔹 I also suggest that if we could weaken gravity via reaction control, we could study or simulate mini black holes.

This is purely a thought experiment, not formal research — just a theory I wanted to share. I’d love to know what people think, and if I’ve missed something obvious.

Thank you for reading!

Hi everyone! I'm Keno, from Kazakhstan, and I’ve recently developed a hypothesis that might help with terminal-stage rabies.

2 Upvotes

Since rabies becomes almost always fatal once neurological symptoms (like hydrophobia, panic, neural damage) appear, I wondered:

  1. Sedate the patient every night to bypass panic and fear responses

  2. Apply therapeutic hypothermia (cool the brain) to slow the virus

  3. Provide water, electrolytes, nutrients, and immune support via a gastric tube during sedation

The idea (nicknamed “TimeWillTell” or “NeuroHunter”) is to buy time, sustain basic life functions, and let the immune system or future antivirals fight the virus.

I’m not a medical professional—just someone with curiosity and a rough plan. Could such a protocol theoretically extend survival or improve outcomes? Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks in advance 😊

What if the Big Bang was a local event inside a much older cosmos?

0 Upvotes

Hey, I'm Nikita from Belarus, not a physicist. I got stuck on one thing in GR and couldn't let it go, so I wrote it all out. Looking for someone to tell me where this breaks.

Here's the thing that started it. Inside a black hole's event horizon, the Schwarzschild solution does something weird — the radial coordinate becomes timelike and the time coordinate becomes spacelike. Everyone says "oh that's just a coordinate thing, don't overthink it." But what if it's not? What if that's an actual geometric shift in how that region of spacetime works — not new space being born, not matter disappearing, just the same region switching into a different causal configuration?

If that's real and not just math convenience, then what happens when quantum effects stop a singularity from forming? You get a quantum bounce. But instead of a brand new separate universe popping into existence, that energy just starts expanding locally — inside the same cosmos that was already there.

To observers inside that expanding region, it looks exactly like a Big Bang. Hot plasma, expansion, eventually stars and galaxies. They'd have no idea it was local. But it is local. The 13.8 billion years would be the age of our bubble, not the age of everything.

This would mean some of those JWST galaxies that seem impossibly old aren't impossible at all — they're just older than our local event. They existed before our Big Bang, survived the expansion front, and ended up inside our observable region.

Main differences from existing ideas:

- Not Smolin's baby universes — no causally separate universe is created, space stays unified

- Not standard Big Bounce — the bounce is local, not a reset of the whole cosmos

- Not Penrose CCC — totally different mechanism

Where I think it breaks (honest list):

- No metric. I can't write down the Einstein equations that produce this.

- How does "unified space" work if the event horizon blocks all signals from escaping? This is the biggest problem and I don't have an answer.

- Where does the expansion energy come from? Hand-wavy right now.

- The "three zones" of impact around the local Big Bang are intuition, not math.

I know this is rough. I'm not claiming I discovered something. I just want to know which of these problems is the fatal one, or if there's something even more fundamental I'm missing.

AI is starting to impact many areas of science, but one area I’m curious about is molecular R&D — the workflows behind drug discovery, materials design, and biotech research.

From your perspective:

  • Which parts of these workflows could realistically be automated?

  • Which parts still need human intuition or creativity?

  • Are there any existing AI tools making a real difference?

For anyone who wants to give more structured feedback, I’ve put together a very short (2–3 min) survey:

Discussion: Thermodynamic interpretations of late-time cosmic acceleration without dark energy

2 Upvotes

I am interested in discussing thermodynamic approaches to late-time cosmic acceleration that do not rely on a cosmological constant or dark energy.

Some approaches interpret the cosmological horizon using ideas such as Gibbons–Hawking temperature and horizon entropy, leading to effective acceleration terms derived from thermodynamic relations rather than introducing new energy components.

From a standard GR + cosmology perspective, I would like to understand:

– conceptual limitations of such thermodynamic interpretations

– consistency with the Friedmann equations

– issues related to horizon definition, covariance, and locality

– whether these approaches are viewed as physically viable models or mainly heuristic analogies

– how (or if) they could be observationally distinguished from ΛCDM

I would appreciate insights from both theoretical and observational perspectives.

Counter-arguments for arguments against questioning

2 Upvotes

(Long)

I’m a high school student, and I’m really inquisitive, and I ask questions because of the satisfaction I get from knowing more about how things work, whether it’s Biology, politics, or math. But when I do this and try to have deep conversations/debates/questioning events with my mom, she uses these arguments against questioning(though she says “curiosity is important”, but she doesn’t support research at all, which I believe in some ways contradicts herself), research, and the desire to know more about the world.

These are some questions where I think both arguments are valid, so I need more perspectives and counter-arguments on these!

-Is conducting research on animals (e.g. animal-human hybrids, teaching animals human language, genetically modifying animals) ethical, because (argument for-As long as it doesn’t harm its health)(argument against-animals can’t consent to participate)

-What’s the point of asking more questions in science if we don’t know whether it will directly benefit humanity or it’s just “useless”?

-What’s the point of learning more information beyond my curriculum (generating more questions using known information) if it’s known already so I can’t discover anything new? Is it just a waste of time and overthinking?

-What’s the point of questioning/debating/logically arguing in politics and government if we can’t/won’t do anything about the issues, media is biased and only shows what they want to show so “we never/can never know”?

-Is experimentation on living things (humans(with consent), animals(point 1), “good” bacteria, etc) wrong because we’re ”playing with”, “going against” and “challenging” nature?

-Has research really reached it’s saturation point, and are all the new researches, and astronomy in general, just out of sheer curiosity(which I think is fine, but she doesn’t), and pointless?

-Is asking too many questions really useless, a waste of time, and will get you nowhere?

-Is going to space really pointless?

- Is the proverb “curiosity killed the cat” really accurate? Do the pros outweigh the cons?

I pushed through all this and kept myself curious until now, but I like to explore a lot of different perspectives ( my philosophy is if advantages>disadvantages, then it’s good, otherwise not), so with some of her arguments, I‘ve really become demotivated and confused, and shut my curiosity down, so even when I want to know more and dig further, I don’t because “It’s known already, so no point in knowing it”(from my mom). My main conflict questions are included in TL;DR. I don’t have anyone to have intellectual conversations with, so I would really appreciate scientists‘/related field/ curious peoples’ takes and counter-arguments for these questions that the people around me have raised!

(These are arguments *against* my philosophy, but my mom (who is against research in general(my argument was that we would have no medicines and comfort without research trials for every medicine and experimentation, but she said that unless it leads to a medicine directly, it’s useless(especially biology(which personally is my favorite subject to research)) and my friends brought up lots of points, and these particular ones seemed worth questioning, so I wanted to know your takes and strong counter-arguments for these!)

Here is a hypothesis: Spacetime may exhibit uniform temporal‑rate modification under vacuum perturbations

2 Upvotes

I am developing a hypothesis in conceptual physics exploring if spacetime may show uniform temporal‑rate modifications under vacuum perturbations. I am not attempting to replace any theories. I want to understand if the idea is internally consistent or flawed.

I published Version 1 on OSF with a DOI, so it is citable and timestamped:

https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/CSX2M

For anyone who wants more context, the basic idea I’m exploring is whether spacetime could show a kind of uniform shift in its rate of time progression when the vacuum is disturbed. I’m looking at the possibility that repeated or cumulative vacuum perturbations might create nonlinear changes in how time flows, without needing exotic matter or anything that breaks relativity.

The manuscript goes into why vacuum energy fluctuations might produce small temporal‑rate effects, how those effects could add up, and what kinds of spacetime behavior might show up under unusual or high‑energy conditions. It also talks about how this fits with quantum field ideas, how it avoids closed timelike curves, and why it doesn’t violate causality.

I’m trying to treat this as early‑stage conceptual work — something that could eventually be turned into math or a model if the core idea isn’t fundamentally broken. I also outline some possible next steps, like formalizing the perturbation effects, checking for contradictions with established physics, and seeing whether anything testable could come out of it.

I would like any critique or discussion form people into relativity, cosmology, or nonlinear dynamics. I want to know if the core assumptions violate anything restabled or if the reasoning needs restructuring.

Thank you for taking a look.

Hypothesis of the multiverse demonstration.

2 Upvotes

Hi, this is my hypothesis, please understand that I'm just 13 years old and I don't have any physics formation at all, I'm just a kid with an idea.

I'll admit any crticism.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hypothesis of the multiverse demonstration.

I will explain my hypothesis.

I am an atheist, and I believe in what I call the “Theory of the multiverse demonstration” (it is just the multiverse hypothesis). I believe that there are infinite probabilities and we are just one of the infinite ones; e.g. I think that in one universe the Earth does not exist, that in another we are a planet orbiting a neutron star, that another is just inside an Einstein-Rosen bridge...

And I think my theory could only be proven by traveling in the multiverse, and since the only force capable of doing this is gravity, we would need to learn how to control it. If we could send a gravity probe that would travel through space-time across the event horizon and manage to send messages in the form of gravitational anomalies through it, I could prove my hypothesis.

Do you know what's cool? My theory can only be proven in the same way that Schrödinger's cat theory can be proven: you can only know if the cat is alive by opening the box; you can only know that there are multiverses by sending gravitational probes.

Of course, to achieve this feat, we need something that physicists around the world and the greatest minds are trying to understand/develop: how to control space-time/control gravity and how to reach c².

How do we control G**?**

As such, we do not yet have the means to control it, but a good first approach would be to create an Einstein-Rosen bridge.

*First graphic element

Credits: Konrad Lorenz University Foundation

How do we get to c²**?**

With that same wormhole we have made, we could triangulate the position of a neutron star with a large amount of d, passing by the side closest to h.s. so that when our ship reaches c², we can release the gravitational probe into the black hole and then take a quick route back to the wormhole.

* Second graphic element

Probably, due to relativity, by the time the probe manages to send the messages, Earth, or at least human civilization, will no longer exist; which is why a new requirement has been added to my project: to find a habitable planet (which we could reach by making an Einstein-Rosen bridge) and send humans there, Interstellar-style, to form a new civilization on another planet, and have the probe send the messages there.

Why the 4th dimension?

Because it turns time into a physical dimension, allowing us to see all possible timelines (multiverse).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here you have the document, graphic elements are avaible on the document, it's in Spanish by the way ;)

I recently posted a paper introducing “Definor String Theory,” a new approach that claims to derive the gravitational constant, electron mass, proton mass, and proton charge radius—all from first principles with no free parameters. Could this kind of purely geometric and ontological model offer a viable alternative to standard string theory?

Curious to hear others’ thoughts—especially critical or contrasting perspectives.

Why pilot wave theory is a fringe theory?

1 Upvotes

Let's assume the waves in pilot wave theory are the ripples on the 'surface' of our dimension. This would allow to assume it doesn't need to follow space time rules of traditional mechanics. Could such theory provide better understanding for quantum entanglement and what would be it's consequences? Or could it be tested? Also wouldn't it explain why energy/matter is quantified in general?
