Of course, Dip. Without swallowing anything whole, we can put pieces together from all sciences, religions and philosophies to create a larger picture of reality. From branes to brains, a true meeting of the minds.
We can posit zero-dimensional branes, point particles; one-dimensional branes, strings; two-dimensional branes, loops and membranes; three-dimesnional branes, spheroids and knots. The fundamental point, though, is the cumulative effects of point particles extend to create the dimensional reality observed.
The point particle would have to have a point mass proportionate to the gravitational acceleration, which exceeds the velocity of light. The velocity of which is based on the absorption and re-emission of light as the mass decays or is converted to energy in the "free-space vacuum." |
