Resting Light Theory

[greenbug]

I like this explanation wick. Yet I still feel as if some interactions take place in a single dimension unfolded or folded. I like to think of this as a “Relational” type of physics. The folds are relating information across the dimensions. I also felt that angles caused some dimensional influences as the dimensions relate or interact.

Thanks, Greenbug! Welcome to RLT. You may be right, but even interactions that occur only in a single dimension would be occuring in 4-space (since 4-space encompasses them all). Once you start talking about angles, you have transcended any single dimensionion.

Any single dimension can fall through a higher dimension. No dimension need be considered fixed.

I look forward to your contributions here, Greenbug.

Regards!

I agree.
The first time I considered angles had to deal with light. I considered that perhaps if an electron was spinning fast enough it would bend space over it, effectively folding space. The electron would then “sink” into space. Much like a rock in a pond, the splashing waves would be the electromagnetic force (photons) moving out away from where the electron sank into space. Yet the electron wouldn’t be stuck in this fold, it would be more like a wrinkled blanket pulling the blanket would unfold space and the electron would reappear, where the electromagnetic wave had the most overall pull (interaction). I know this isn’t the best way to think of what is really happening its just how I thought of it at first.

Another way I was looking at the quantum actions was considering that matter bends time. Much like how gravity fractures light and galaxies look warped around other galaxies, that are behind them. A single wave would appear to be moving to an object look as if it has been sowed due to bent space time and at the same time you’d see the wave exit the aria around the object even though its still working its way threw the object. You are basically just seeing two sides or parts of the same wave. Now that’s just with one object of matter bending space-time. In my mind it would appear to be discombobulated with electrons and photons appearing and disappearing all over the place with pieces of matter all over the place. Again not the best way of looking at it but it’s a perspective.

I, too, sometimes think of the quanta of matter as particles intersecting a water-like surface. However, observation would seem to indicate that a particle the size of an electron, spinning or not, would not have the mass necessary to interact with gravity sufficiently to change the shape of the surface of space.

It's only when particles are lumped together into a greater mass that they begin to bend space.

In RLT, we have to adjust the Standard Model of Particle Physics, which describes fundamental matter (quarks, electrons and neutrinos) as individual, separate, distinct and fundamental particles with specific mass, spin, and charge. RLT doesn't describe apparent point particles in this way.

Instead, and this is only a conceptual exercise, think of a slinky bound together in two ways: the round ends of the slinky are bound together, and the center of the entire spring is bound together so that the whole slinky forms a torus, like this:

If my slinky were now intersecting a surface of water up to its middle, the slinky would present itself to observers living on the surface as a number of point particles, some of which would appear centrally located, the others of which would appear to be on the outer edge of the phenomenon. If the spring were twisting upon itself (toward the center of the torus) observers on the surface might say that the outerparticles are negatively charged and the inner particles are positively charged. The would not comprehend that the charge was directly related to the motion of the spring through the surface. We could likewise describe spin and mass in a similar way (as the results of the slinky's motion), but our description would make no sense to flat observers on the surface of the water. They would not understand that these properties arise from the motion of a 3-dimensional thing through a 2-dimensional surface. They would not understand that the many things they see in two space (every intersection of the spring through the surface) are actually on thing.

In RLT we think of matter in this way. Three quarks for instance might be a single bound entity in 4-space which intersects 3-space in such a way that it appears as three point particles. Yet the 3 quarks represent one thing in 4-space.

As these particles move through the surface of the water, they cause a series of ripples to form. These are what we call spinor fields. The light of 4-space passes through the surface like drops of rain water causing a what we might call a vector field upon the surface.

RLT sees the forces of nature as arising from the motion of 3-space through 4-space.

Its been a while. Here are a few pictures to help visualize RLT. The first is the picture of a falling plane. On the top side of the plane, the x and y axes of space are represented. On the bottom side of the plane, the y and z axes of space are represented. Together both sides of the falling plane represent a falling 3-space (our universe). The 3-space falls (literally) at the velocity "c" along a 4th axis (the w-axis) through a 4-space filled with Resting Light.

It looks like this:

[Wick]

As the 3-space falls through the Resting Light, the light penetrates the falling plane which causes ripples on the surface of the 4-space. While the ripples look like 2-dimensional and circular, remember that the ripples are occuring along both the x/y and the y/z sides of the plane...so they are actually spherical in nature.

This would represent the microwave background that seems to permeate the whole of space. It is a field that forms on the surface of the 3-space because the 3-space is falling through the Resting Light.

[Wick]

Because matter is relatively rare in the vastness of space, most of the electromagnetic interaction (or the generation of the electromagnetic field) causes ripples in space alone, but when the Resting Light interacts with particles of matter which intersect the falling 3-space, the light causes the particles of matter to rotate through the surface of the 3-space.



Notice that the particle of matter is a single loop passing through the surface of the 3-space. Yet it would appear from a position on the plane that the single loop is a pair of point particles (strong interaction). Also notice that the loop of matter is spatially extended along the w-axis. Only a small portion of the matter is held inside the falling 3-space. Finally, notice that when the Resting Light strikes the falling 3-space and the particle of matter it causes the entire particle (or what appears to be two particles) to begin spinning through the surface of 3-space. One side of the particle spins up through the surface of the 3-space along the w-axis, the otherside spins down in the w direction.

[Wick]

Because of the interaction with the Resting Light, the particle of matter also begins to resist the 3-space's pull down along the w-axis. It consequently begins to tug the 3-space to which it is attached upward along the w-axis, creating a tiny dimple in the surface of the 3-space.



So the particle (which really appears to be two particles) is moving in several ways (none of which can been seen from the 3-space). The particles spins through the surface of the 3-space, but it also moves upward against the direction of the 3-spaces fall. It also moves along the familiar axes of x, y and z inside the 3-space.

Each particle moves in this way, so in an area where many particles of matter are located, many dimples form on the surface of the 3-space.

[Wick]

These particles eventually begin moving toward one another, which describes the gravitational interaction. It looks like this:

[Wick]

As particles begin to press together in areas where space is stretching "upward" along the w-axis, they interact with the Resting Light much more richly than they would on the flat surface of an unwarped 3-space. They also begin to interact more richly with one another. The loops of matter begin to knot together in various ways. This happens in the cores of stars where the gravitational and electromagnetic interactions are greatest. As the loops knot and combine, they form more complex elements. In very extreme situations (supernova explosions) they form the heaviest elements of all and knot up in very complex ways. But once these very heavy and complex particles are ejected from enviroments of extreme gravity and electromagnetic interaction, they begin (slowly and over time) to unravel. This explains the weak interaction (or the electroweak interaction).
