Paul,
Thank you. First, I have to put forward my definition of "Space". I can live with the Wiki partial definition as follows: "Space is the boundless, three-dimensional extent in which objects and events occur and have relative position and direction", however I believe it may have bounds beyond which even it does not exists, nor anything, but this is another topic altogether.
Therefore, when I see an enclosed system, such as a cold balloon, with a defined region (internal volume) of space, and when that balloon is heated, I see a new internal volume greater than that which existed before I started heating the balloon. I am told by physicists that the molecules are moving faster, farther away from one another, and bouncing off the walls of the balloon thereby expanding the volume (at the expense of density of course). My problem with this, is that when maintaining the definition of Space I started with, I need an explanation. I cannot fathom where the new "Space" came from without introducing a reason. I continue to respect the defintions I have used when entering into the "experiment". Where did the new space come from?
To keep it short, I have new "spatial volumes", do I not? The balloon is larger, yes? And it is an enclosed entity , yes. It is our experiment. The only thing that happened is that the particles are now moving more rapidly. I associate this movement to the "creation" of this new "space". In maintaining the Conservation of Energy Laws, something must be lost for the new "Space" to arrive. This I attribute to a loss of matter and in a similar fashion that mass is lost when energy is created in the E=mc2 equation.
It is also my explanation of where the space comes from, for there to be expansion in the Universe. It all happens on a local level (micro) and this explains Red Shift anomalies as well. It is very important to recognize that the macro world must always be built up from the micro. This element is consistent with CIG.
To explain the Double Slit, which you are probably all too familar with, try approaching the experiment from the view of CIG, and you should have no problem understanding the outcome(s). Light is a "particle" when stopped and in its black hole like personality (i.e. at the point of emission, and at the point where it again is absorbed by the screen), However, when traveling, it's mass becomes spatial and part of it goes through each slit, thereby offering the opportunity for constructive and destructive interferrence. [There should be a point where if the slits are spaced far enough apart, that the spatial manifestation, since it is limited by the mass to space conversion limitations/potential (see CUPI quantification), will be unable to go through both slits and interfrrence will not be possible, since only a limited amount of spatial volume was created and it was not large enough to span distant slits.].
CIG theory is contingent upon the postulate that "the speed of light is the same in all inertial frames of reference". It takes the Lorentz "contraction along the "x" axis" and gives it a new physical interpretation.
As for Dark Matter and Dark Energy, they are simply the same observations but viewed from different perspectives of % of "c" travel. The halos surrounding massive bodies are examples where due to gravitational effects, these effects limit the "c" rate sufficiently such that a different "Spatial" quantity with a different "mass component" unfold. The space unfolds in the same proportions as length contraction along the x-axis based on how fast a massive particle travels. Can someone look at the dark energy/dark matter data to confirm this correlation? When light can't move at all (black hole), no space manifests and mass alone exists in a singularity. [there are other considerations here such as there must be a certain volume of space for mass to exist; conversely, for the vacuum energy, there must be a mass component - singularities appear unstable - but we will not get into that here]
If you could explain the balloon problem to me, and convince me that there is no actual new space inside the balloon, then I can rethink things. Right now I am very confused. I have been walking around with the recognition (belief) that I (physically) have a certain equivalency to space and time. It is an uneasy feeling. [The theory also combines the spacetime continuum with the mass-energy equation].
I will elaborate more on your email later as I agree with much of it.
From CIG Theory (www.cigtheory.com)
"Where there is a different time there must be a different
place. Where there is a different place, there is a different
space. Where there are different spaces, there are different
volumes. CIG theory explains the creation of new volumes of
space created as the result of different times imparted onto
the world universe and as a direct result of the relativistic
nature of nature."
Lots more work to do, and lots of refinement needed to assess what is actually happenng in nature -- need help
Paul - please keep trying to understand the theory (perhaps you already do?) By all means attack it, since if CIG does not hold up to the rigors of scrutiny, it deserves to crumb cake.
