[quote=Graybeard;31373]Rascal ..... It seems to me that you have managed to unify the four forces in a single paragraph. This is good. Most of us on this forum take at least a page (

)
OK .... I have three questions:
1.. Does 'earlier moments in the 4-D spacetime continuum' refer to a previous time or a continuing time. ie: the Big Bang or each proceeding (preceding) moment .
2.. Where do you define the boundary between macrocosmic & microcosmic ie: the atom, the electron or inside the 'shell' of a proton, etc
3.. As, you indicate, that gravity is the only force found on both sides of this boundary why does it apparently shell out so much energy when it crosses the boundary. If we let gravity have a value of 1 when its inside the boundary (microcosmic) , then why would it only have a value of 10^(-41) once it crosses (macrocosmic) . Where did the energy go ?

Hey Mr. Greg:
1.. earlier moments refers to a continuing time - there's no 'start'; no 'big bang'. The same amount of energy distributing itself over an increasingly greater area, squared. No contradiction of the law of conservation of mass-energy. Steady state. No beginning. No end. The microcosms are just as infinite and endless as the macrocosms, though
comparatively more dense in the microcosms
when compared with the value of 'now', and
comparatively less dense in the macrocosms
when compared with the value of now. There's no 'cross-over' - we're just humming along... Yesterday is smaller and more dense, tomorrow is larger and less dense, and we're constantly in the middle, looking 'down' into the microcosmic - what will become - the present and past, and 'up', into - what will and has become - the macrocosmic future. Graphically it looks like this < with the past as the apparent intersection (infinite smallness and denseness), the middle where we are in the eternal now, and the proceeding enlargement as the future. Yesterday's 60 mph (and celeritas constant) is comparatively slower than today's, and today's is comparatively slower than tomorrows, ad infinitum. We're always in the 'middle' of this proposed contnuum. o b v i o u s l y m a t t e r is not expanding...
Please let me know if this reponds to your three questions.
Thanks for being.
Best regards
