What I don't think is explained in standard cosmology also is that the observable universe is only one of many "bubbles," and if we apply your scenario to multiple co-ordinate systems, what would the mechanics involved be exactly if not related to expansion of space itself?
I'm not sure I totally understand your question. Standard cosmology does allow for the fact that each point in space(time) has its own observable universe. I don't know what you mean by the last part of your sentence, though.

If I'm not mistaken, the way it is explained in the paper seems like newtonian physics reborn. Do you advocate that massive systems are separate from space?
No, no. I still believe in general relativity!

Very good explanation, Pok. I agree with most of it, though most people I've come across shy away from thinking in terms of photonic consciousness and away from the thinking of David Hamel.
What I don't agree with is the conformity of what appears to be a two-dimensional explanation for what requires four dimensions, and that the zeno-type time paradox can be solved with infinite velocity. As long as there is the concept of motion, the rate can never exceed infinite velocity, and infinite velocity would never be able to cover the infinitesimal increments of time necessary to cross over the zero point - to cover infinity(space) requires eternity(time). This is why to function, and actually get to the places intended, finite time jumps at absolute speed are required to cover "infinite" space, not infinite velocity, because absolute speed - 0/0 - can recreate anything anywhere according to its quanta and qualia.
If you are walking to the store, it takes time to reach the destination, and depending upon how space and velocity is broken up, finite and infinite quantities can apply. Now to depict the absolute, we have to think in terms of erasing the infinite number of increments between the point in time and space you started and the store - the whole photon would know no time in between. Then the two points can be considered the same, but the particular events occuring at the point are different.
Imagine that the whole universe exists inside of one photon.
Ok, with this statement you have immediately discounted relativity, since you have given the photon a (variable) mass. Keep this in your short term memory.

Now imagine that this giant photon that is our universe is traveling in a circle. On the right side of the circle is positive time and on the left side is negative time. So this photon is always travelling in a circle from negative time to positive time and back again.
What is this circle made of? Is it simple a "cyclic time" coordinate? Is it another space coordinate? If the latter, then you have introduced a non-compactified spacial dimension, which you have to explain why we do not see. If the former then, well, it doesn't describe anything.. such as the "expansion of space."

Because one cannot exceed the speed of light unless one makes a quantum leap across the barrier,
Now, retrieve the statement from your short term memory. Why can we not exceed the light speed limit in your model?
Quote:
It's just like quantum tunneling but on a macroscopic scale.
This is a contradiction in terms.
Quote:
So 1 planck second before you reach the speed of light you will dissappear. Depending on if your acceleration is very great you will be either very close or still very far away from the speed of light when you actually dissappear. So by measuring the amount of inflation we can determine how fast our photon was accelerating when it dissappeared from negative time and made a quantum leap into positive time. ... etc
I could spend all night replying to this, but I don't really have the time.

I guess another way to put it, with respect to the paper mentioning that the energy density is homegenous, inclusive of free space, would the virtual energy created in vacuum be responsible for spatial expansion? If so, what would be the exact mechanics for forming the relative spatial frames from outside of the absolute volumetric frames?
the 2d representation of time as a number circle just shows the two directions of time, forward and backward. It's just a representation of the arrow of time where it reverses at one point and connects back to the beginning. At every point on the number circle there is a three dimensional space that represents one snapshot in time. Plus the circle repeats itself 1/0 times so all alternative universe that start with the same CMB are overlayed onto eachother.
The way I see it there are six dimensions. 3 of space times 2 of time.
All motion is composed of discreet units of absolute motion. Motion is like an internet program that has a refresh rate of once every planck second.
1/0 is absolute motion. 0/0 is arbitrary motion, possibly absolute but not necessarely. Crossing a certain distance in an instance is what I refer to as quantum tunneling. It has undivided velocity and acceleration
Neutralino,
How do you know that the universe has a variable mass and doesn't it depend on how we guage mass? For example, if we consider that the mass of the universe stays the same then it appears to be expanding in size. However, if we consider that the size of the universe stays the same then the density of energy appears to be getting less and thus mass is decreasing. So it just depends on how you look at it.
If we consider that space isn't expanding, just that our consciousness is changing, then it would appear that the mass and energy of everything is decreasing with respect to our consciousness. But if we consider that consciousness is staying the same and that the universe is expanding then it seems like the energy of everything is staying the same.
So yes, the mass of all of the photons can change but it just depends on what you consider the expansion of the universe to be. The only absolute is that everything is related to every other thing.
The circle represents a time coordinate yes. So right now we are on the positive side where time appears to proceed forward and we are somewhere past the middle point. That's because the middle point is where expansion stops slowing down and starts speeding up. So this circle when calculated correctly should tell us how far we are from the big bang and how close we are to the big rip. Also when you calculate this circle correctly you can tell exactly how fast space will be expanding at any given point in time. It does describe the expansion of time.
In my model we cannot exceed TSOL for the same reason as in General Relativity. However, when you throw QM into the mix then it allows you to become like a quantum object and tunnel across the speed of light. What this means is that you don't need an infinite amount of energy, you just need an accleration that is effectively more than infinite. To garner absolute acceleration that is effectivley more than infinite and tunnell across the speed of light barrier you must go from speed A to speed B in a planck second or less, where speed A is less than TSOL and speed B is greater, and the force required to accelerate the object is calculated by the relativistic mass of the object at speed A, not speed B. That is why it does not require infinite energy. It just requires you to expend a finite amount of energy at an infinite rate of expenditure. But infinite is not really infinite it is defined by the parameters of QM and GR.
Another way to do it is to have an object that constantly changes directions because this is equivalent to acceleration. They need to design their particle accelerators with spiral paths, not circular paths. If they design a particle accelerator with a spiral path they will find that QM and GR will both play a role and they will be able to get closer to the speed of light, and maybe even exceed it just depending on how quickly they accelerate the object and how tight the spiral is.
And I know that quantum tunnelling on macroscopic scales is a contradiction but I told you that the universe is a consistent contradiction and everything is contained in every other thing and this means that the small also mirrors the large. What this means is that our entire universe is nothing but a quantum object in a higher dimensional reference frame. Our universe is all one giant photon. That is why our universe was able to tunnell through an infinite small point and emerge from negative time into positive time as the big bang. The quantum tunelling is what caused inflation. As above so below.
If you can create an antigravity space craft it would essentially become like a quantum object and you can use it to travel anywhere in the universe theoretically. You can even travel to alternate universes that resemble the past. TO travel to an alternate universe you must make a quantum leap beyond the bounds of the visible universe. In this case, for the duration that you are in-between universes, you will be undergoing the full-circle cycle. The full circle cycle keeps repeating and lasts for an eternity but in the higher dimensional reference frame it just lasts for a split second.
If, on the other hand, you quantum leap to a point within the visible universe then for the duration that you are in-between places you will be undergoing the big bounce cycle. This big bounce cycle repeats itself eternally but to the reference frame of the transiting object it just takes a split second. So in other words our whole universe is just a quantum tunnelling object that is stuck inbetween alternate universes. It came from somewhere and it's going somewhere, but to us it just repeats itself and every time it repeats it is slightly different. So everytime we use our spacecraft to exceed the speed of light we are recreating the universe in effect, but now we are the higher dimensional reference frame. So the higher dimensional reference frame is embedded within the lower reference frame and visa versa. One extreme becomes the cause of the other. Just as in the number 1/0, everything is mirrored in every other thing, and this is called the consistency of contradiction or in other words the cosmic irony of truth and true paradoxes. You can also use this recursiveness of the universal scheme to realize that the information for DNA is actually contained in light and if we model our forces correctly we will have a model of light that looks like a double helix instead of two sine waves arranged in planes 90 degrees to eachother.
key points to remember:
1. if you quantum leap to a point within the visible universe your body undergoes the big bounce cycle while in transit. THis means that your body implodes and then slows down, reverses, and reverse-implodes so as to reappear in the same time but at a different place
2. if you quantum leap to a point beyond the visible universe your body undergoes the full-circle cycle while in transit. This means that your body implodes and keeps speeding up and expanding into negative time until it turns "outside-in" around an infinitely large point, contracts, reverse implodes, and reemerges so as to reappear in the same place, but at a different point in time aka an alternate universe.
3. so the two types of cyclical universes, big bounce and full circle, represent the two types of quantum leaps. One quantum leap carries an object to another point within the same visible universe whereas the other carries an object to the same place but in an alternate universe that lies beyond our visible universe. That is how the course of cosmology relates to an object tunelling across the speed of light. OUr universe is a quantum object that is stuck in transit between two alternate universes. The only reason this is possible is because mankind can send something faster than the speed of light.
4. this theory is the craziest theory ever but it also makes a lot of sense. The simplest explanation must also be the most complex. Everything is based on consistent contradiction otherwise known as recursiveness, aka circular logic, and Godel's incompleteness theorem can be interpreted as the completely incomplete, consistently inconsistent theorem in which case it is pivotaly hinged on the axiom of choice.
I guess another way to put it, with respect to the paper mentioning that the energy density is homegenous, inclusive of free space, would the virtual energy created in vacuum be responsible for spatial expansion? If so, what would be the exact mechanics for forming the relative spatial frames from outside of the absolute volumetric frames?
The vacuum energy density could be causing the accelerated expansion of the universe; in fact this is one of the possible contenders for dark energy.
Whether that answers your question is doubtful!

You also seem to be confused a little with what quantum tunneling means. The whole point of tunneling in QM is that there is a potential which is high enough that a particle cannot get over it; that is, there is a classically disallowed region, but somehow the particle indeed appears in the disallowed regions. This is because the particle tunnels through the potential. However, I don't see that this can relate to tunneling in a temporal dimension. I admit I am nowhere near an expert in quantum theory, though. I have no qualms with a particle tunneling and appearing at another point in space instantaneously[*] but I can't see how a particle can just disappear and reappear in the same point in space a certain time later. Where does this particle go? It must go somewhere, or its own proper timeline would be disjoint, which cannot happen.
Anyway, I don't know what else to say. I must say that I prefer this side of you, POK, to the one who demands attention!
[*]Ok, so instanteously doesn't strictly work if we try and incorporate relativity, but I'll let that slide.

If there are parallel universes, would the effect of them overlapping theortically cause the speed of light constant to change?
It depends what you mean by "overlapping." That is, overlapping in which sense? If universes are parallel, then this means they cannot come into contact (unless you have some other definition of parallel universe).
Welcome to the forums, by the way.

the speed of light is dependent upon your acceleration. Acceleration can get you to cross between parallel universes by exceeding the speed of light and quantum tunnelling beyond the bounds of the visible universe. How close you are to the speed of light depends on your acceleration. All modern experiments such as particle accelerators use too slow an acceleration to notice this quantum mechanical effect.
