That leads me back to the original theory of goo, only slightly modified to reflect Potential. If dark energy and dark matter don't exist something else must be there in order to for vacuum space to not exist.

If we take the point of view that the every single point in the goo (ether, aether, etc) has a default Potential of 1, vacuum space, dark energy/matter are no longer neccesary (although they may exist).

Before we go on, some assumptions about the goo:
1) the goo is one object, unlike a liquid, solid, gas, or energy. This allows instantaneous communication between points.
2) the goo's nature is "change"


To start, for me it's easiest to view the goo as a 2D solid plane (circle). Anywhere you poke the circle, you are poking the circle. Now we overlay the circle with an infinite number of points, each with a Potential of 1. That's how I perceive it except in 4 dimensions (x,y,z,t).

As one point is reformed its potential increases or decreases. This is how we get matter. For example, a point with Potential 0.0393948458 could be an neutron, a point with Potential 0.999 could be light in its wave form.

Travel is reforming points along certain vectors. Travelling faster than the speed of light would require the technology and intelligence to reform two non-contiguous points in the 4 dimensions.

I'm interested in discussion on this.
