Hello there everybody,

I've never posted here before - As I'm not a huge advocate of most conspiracy theories . However I am interested in Science and its role in philosophy (I specialise in physics), however I realise that due to the largely conservative way in which science progresses, new lateral steps in thinking dont come easily to most of the scientific community. Therefore, for general creative scientific discussion, sites such as this are a great source of open minded people. I dont expect everybody to have a huge subject knowledge of certain aspects of science, but everyone is welcome to add their own thoughts. It is also likely that there will be at least some people on the site that do have a good background knowledge, and I would love any contribution if your time permits.

I'll just outline some aspects of a framework that I've been working on for about a year now - I'm not claiming it to be gospel, but I hope that If I mention a few concepts and show my logic, it may encourage you to think of things differently and post your own ideas.

The framework began as a way to explain to people certain hard to grasp concepts in a simple visual way (think Feynman)so that more people could understand them, but it has grown considerably and brings up a few new ideas. Like Einstein said - 'If a theory cannot be explained to a child, its probably wrong'

(Although I said it was supposed to be a visual model, lots of mathematics have followed, however they do not detract from the original concepts)

I'll try to keep this as simple and accessible as possible.

------------------------------------------------------------

Before I begin, here is something to keep in the back of your mind before I explain my framework.

Estimates give the age of our universe at around 14 billion years old. As all information is limited at moving through space at no greater than the speed of light (this includes visible light and all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum)Therefore, any observer can observe a maximum distance of 14 billion lightyears. (any further, and the information has not had time to reach us!)

If you look up, down, left or right, the furthest you can observe is a distance of 14 billioin light years. Effectively creating a spherical observable universe that is 14 billion light years in radius with the observer exactly in the centre. It can be a daunting thing to realise that you are infact the centre of your own universe! However, remember that when a photon hits an atom or interacts with any other particle it is effectively being observed, thus creating a situation where all particles of matter, be it inside me, you or a star on the other side of the galaxy are all the centre of the universe.

This is a somewhat hard thing to get your head around, but dont worry it gets better. Like me, you are at the centre of your own observable universe. If we assume that something can be observed, we can say it to be 'real', in other words, you are in the centre of your reality. This for some strange reason seems to be more comprehensible to people, even though all we have done is change the word to describe our universe. The hard concept to grasp is the fact that everything is simultaneously the centre of the universe. We can easily fix this however if we take a simlpe leap of logic.

Everything is made of energy, as E=mc^2so elegantly puts it. But if everything is made of the exact same 'stuff', where does form come from? How do we get seperate 'things' and forces?. The answer is simple.

Imagine you have an infinitely large piece of paper, and you shade this piece of paper with a pencil (a very big pencil!) untill it is completely covered. Imagine this infinite, shaded piece of paper represents an infinite 'sea' of energy. Any point on this paper is infinitely far away from the edge of the page - every point is the centre of the paper. Now you take an eraser, and you erase a small circular shape on the paper. You have created an 'emptiness', an absence of energy. This absence has form and shape, yet it is not made of anything! It is simply empty space! In other words, energy is the substance from which things are made, and it is the absence of energy, also known as Space, which changes over time, that gives the illusion of seperate objects - NOTHING physically seperates them. Space and time are a construct which creates form.

The framework I have so far, points to a structure of quantum space that gives rise to the orbital shapes around atoms, however by aplying a symetry that arises from scale being a relative measurement, this pattern opens up and becomes fractal like. I wont go into detail on this here, because the fractal I have may not necessarily be 'the one' but the fact that a fractal arose in the first place is a good sign (as we obviously observe them everywhere).

Those of you with a knowledge of calabi yau manifolds in string theory will know that the space is hidiously complex and remains a closed space, leading string theorists to believe that the calabi yau space is simply a repeated unit within the spatial fabric, but not necessarily the overall shape of the entire fabric. This to me seems odd, and my current model has a structure that does open up, and undergoes changes at different points within the pattern.

Here is a simple description of the space I have. (this wont be easy)

Imagine a spatial dimension, lets say its the left-right extended spatial dimension in our universe. We normally think of left right as being a long straight line dimension that extends to infinity to our left, and off to infinity to our right. However, my model points to a space, where left-right is actually a distorted circular dimension. Think of it as being a rubber band. This rubber band has been stretched so much that in its length direction it is so long that it reaches from one end of the universe to the other, however this has led to it becoming very small in its width, where at its widest width point, it is only one Planck length wide. (the Planck length is the smallest length of space that we are allowed to measure). For all general purposes then it IS a straight line, but on very close inspection, it is actually a very long but narrow circle.

So space itself curves in on itself at the edge of the universe, but wraps around a planck size barrier at its centre. If we extend this to include all planes of rotation in the up-down, and forward-back planes, we end up with a pattern where we have a spherical universe, where the outer edge is caused by the space curving back in outself and not escaping (Black hole event horizon anybody?)and another sphere of emptiness that is the planck length in diameter exactly in the centre. The outer membrane of this tiny sphere is like another evernt horizon.

Now this pattern opens up and becomes fractal like when a symetry is applied (I wont go into it here), but these spherical membranes keep popping up as you zoom out of the pattern. In each case they behave as an event horizon.

Now those of you who have read any Martin Rees (the astronomer Royal) will probably have come across just 6 numbers, where he shows the logarithmic scale of size the universe. On one side is the quantum, on the other is the cosmic, universe scale, and exactly in the middle, straddling the quantum and the cosmos, is LIFE. Is it coincidence that life exist perfectly between the quantum and cosmos? well I dont think it is and here is why.

Within my framework, It appears that our universe actually contains 3 'event horizons' (in terms of spatial scale). One is the Planck distance horizon, one is the edge of the uinverse Horizon, and the third occurs at the celuar scale within life itself. What does this mean for us?

Well it means that we can look below us and see space behaving in discrete tiny quanta, and it means we can look above us in terms of scale, and observe the continuous nature of space as gravity moves things through space, however the point where these two scales come together but never actually touch is an event horizon that exists within the nucleus of a cell. I wont go into this here but I'm colloborating with a biologist who is studying an unknown force inside the cell during mitosis. He believes there is a form of 'gravity well' that causes genetic material to condense around the centriole, and then causes the non local seperation and quater turn of the microtubiules. So far, this is the only explaination (not many biologists study the spatial fabric, and not many physicists study cells!). Within my model, I also find that as we cross each event horizon, a seperation and quater turn arises - responsible for the effect in around the centriole, and in quantum mechanics, it occurs twice to give a half integer value of spin for all fermions.

So perhaps the reason that the quantum mechanics and general relativity do not fuse together, is because space is wrapped around or bounded by these event horizons, and we just happen to BE the boundry between the quantum and the macro. If this seems far fetched, remeber that in biology, we look at DNA and individual molecules that make up proteins, Both of these are effected by quantum events. We then build up the picture to look at larger protein structure, organelles within cells, actual cells, and the multicelluar tissues and eventually whole organisms. These are effected by macro forces like gravity, and not at all quantum. So the jump from quantum to macro MUST appear within the scale of celluar life. If my model is correct this happens around the centriole.

The complexity of life would then be down to the fact that on this event horizon, both quantum and macro forces occur simulatniously (the only place where this happens in the universe) as a result, we have huge complexity and diversity. The reason why physicists are yet to find the link is because they havent looked within themselves to find it. They are looking out into the world when they should be looking within. (A slight Play on word I know)

I will leave this here for now, and let you guys give some input. If I get a good response I may add more detail to aspects and go seeper into some of the more obscure concepts

Thanks for your time if you've read this far. I'll catch you guys later
