Lorraine Ford you conclude too quickly the things Lorraine like for my thoughts and words, and the problem is there you are persuaded about things not proved, and in politics when the persons make this they make catagories about people and rank the humans without real proofs ,and sometimes it implies even deep problems like in the dictatorships, they beleive they know all, they affirm the psychology of their fellowmen, they conclude all like facts but in fact it is just in their minds and not proved, think about this. You must try to be more cool, nice and less persuaded about your assumptions not proved, sorry bu It is true, the critics, yes, the lack of respec , no simply, and I am persuaded it is just about your psychology and friustration, me I like you, but you seem to like nobody , take care

      Occasionally, you will find physicists in essence remarking that there is a difference between a set of equations and a viable moving real-world system. I am, in essence, merely agreeing with these physicists.

      As I said, your theories and equations can't represent a viable moving real-world system.

      This is a BIG problem, but you don't seem to care, and instead you choose to say things about my character.

          Lorraine Ford If you tell it Lorraine , you think like you want and you are persuaded about what you want , I can do nothing about this. For the theories like you like the strings theory or the geometrodynamics, or my theory and these spheres like foundamental objects, we don t affirm we just try to give roads. When I observe the nature and this universe, these spheres,spheroids are a reality, after all in cosmology in this universe we have only this , and I tell me that for the quantum scale it is probably the reality also and after they can create all shapes with the deformations due to forces, fields, informations, see the symplectomorphisms preserving the volumes, there is nothing of odd with the spheres , observe well this nature with your spherixcal eyes , see the glannds, see, trees, flowers, a water drop, the favorite sports of humans with the spheres due to the rotations and ideal motions, see the waves, the gravitational waves, the Black holes, the planets, stars, and so many other exemples,there is really nothing of odd with this theory and it can be the hoie of this universe and even it can be correlated with the categories, aspects and symbols for the ranking and physical properties,

            Lorraine Ford Lorraine, I am sorry about the things told about the character, I just try to understand why you always want to compete, I have not began this competition me, you critic and and conclude about assumptions , you tell things and after you are surprised that the persons asnwer you, I respect you me, the critics I believe are always better when they are construtive . And also I don t affirm my assumptions I just give ideas , and if these ideas were disproved I d accept but it is not the case, the constant I given is a real calculation, the theory I give is not disproved also actually, and for your ideas , I need more proved details. The viable moving real world like you tell with the categories, symbols, aspects , me I want well but you dont detail the physical , mathematical , phyliosophical structures. I have asked you to be concrete about your choice about the foundmental objects and your philosophical choice, but you never answer, why we exist and from what and how, it is simple, how the matters, energy, informations act to create the reality we live, I need simply general structures for your categories, symbols, aspets, we need causes and affects simply, but you dont explain us , regards

                Steve, I’ll leave you to meditate on the following:

                ON COMMANDING EQUATIONS TO FLY

                [Physicist] Christopher Fuchs recounts (in an email from Dec. 1997, reproduced on p. 292 of “My Struggles with the Block Universe“, 2014):

                a little anecdote about [physicist] John Wheeler that I heard from [physicist] John Preskill a few days ago. In 1972 he had Wheeler for his freshman classical mechanics course at Princeton.

                One day Wheeler had each student write all the equations of physics s/he knew on a single sheet of paper. He gathered the papers up and placed them all side-by-side on the stage at the front of the classroom. Finally, he looked out at the students and said,

                “These pages likely contain all the fundamental equations we know of physics. They encapsulate all that’s known of the world.”

                Then he looked at the papers and said,

                “Now fly!”

                Nothing happened. He looked out at the audience, then at the papers, raised his hands high, and commanded,

                “Fly!”

                Everyone was silent, thinking this guy had gone off his rocker. Wheeler said,

                “You see, these equations can’t fly. But our universe flies. We’re still missing the single, simple ingredient that makes it all fly.”

                …

                [Physicist] Wheeler appears (cf. [physicist] Blake Stacey, Jan 2016) saying:

                There’s nothing deader than an equation. You write that down in a square on a tile floor. And on another tile on the floor you write down another equation, which you think might be a better description of the Universe. And you keep on writing down equations hoping to get a better and better equation for what the Universe is and does.

                And then, when you’ve worked your way out to the end of the room and have to step out, you wave your wand and tell the equations to fly.

                And not one of them will put on wings and fly.

                Yet the Universe flies!

                It has a life to it that no equation has, and that life to it is a life with which we are also tied up.

                (From https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/John+Wheeler)

                    Lorraine Ford You know Lorraine, we are here on FQXi a wonderful platform free when we respect the rules. We have the chance to learn a lot and from arxiv and the members of FQXi are probably the best on this earth in physics, they are professionals. Us we are not professionals and there is like a language in this community, they have learnt a lot about maths and physics and sometimes they are creative and invent innovative revolutionary works. I have never published and I work about this, I am obliged to study things that I didn t know. We are never taken seriously if the pappers published don t respect the specific language of this community, we must be concrete, and develop the ideas with rigorous mathematial and physical laws. TThe theoretical physics is a topic still different where there are a lot of assumptions, but that permit to give roads and new lines of reasoning and sometimes it converges with the foundamental laws of this universe. It is essential to respect how it acts this community . We can have our ideas, philosophies, theories, ....but we cannot affrim them if it is not proved simply. So I don t affirm my theories and works when they are not proved. We are all persuaded about our works but is it a reason to impose them and to not respect the ideas of others. We are never taken seriously in making this I believe. Only the proved l;aws, axioms, equations are accepted. The theories, equations like you told must represent the viable moving real world system, and it is not about the categories, aspects , symbols but about rigorous proofs. The universe has a specific universal partition far of our knowledges and the particles, fields, numbers,energies, informations and their properties are under specific systems and laws. We try to respect the universal symphony and we try to improve what we know with the tools that we have....Best Regards

                        I have just posted an outline metaphysical conjecture of an alternative model of reality: https://ai.vixra.org/abs/2504.0122
                        Abstract: A novel cosmological conjecture is proposed which reinterprets the nature of the universe as evolving from an eternal, infinite, indefinite potential field termed "May" (virtual massenergy). In ‘thistory’ (sic), ‘universes’ emerge as a consequence of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and subsequent search for evolutionary stable strategies (ESS) for continued existence and persistence. These ESS appear as ‘small bangs’: individual galaxies within a single expanding whole of May, with each supermassive black hole functioning not as a terminal gravitational sink but as a birthing point of local coherence and persistence from May. The laws of physics emerge as the summary conditions describing these ESS. Distinguishing between coordinate time of 3-dimensional spacetime and real evolutionary (life) time of emergent structures, this model offers a metaphysically coherent and observationally relevant alternative to current cosmological orthodoxy.

                        What do you think?

                        1. Basic Units: Qutrits + Spherical Volumes, so in considering the primary series of spheres for the 3 main systems , and so we go farer than a hilbert space and so we complete the spacetime geometry , si the qutrit state is represented by intrinsic geometric configurations and the modes become relevant if the 3 systems merge like the universe makes, we consider so the oscillations, the angular momenum, the curvatures signatures, the information operations, the geometric transformations, the rotations, the densities ,the angles,....and with the group theory and the spherical topological geometrical algebras , so we define the operations in temporal dynamics like for the hamiltonian evolution. So we have tranfers of informations and entanglements .
                          Of oursre my model has assumptions with the DE and DM, but if this DE is purely informational and a fifth force, it beomes interesting if it encodes the photons and DM to cree the standard model, so if true, the fields and states become relevant with the possbilities but the difficulty is to find the universal partitions of these primary quantum spheres and their series. Not easy for the couplings , the information gradients, the fields.....and so the real universal computation dynamics is difficult also with thye spacetime and the states evolution but a general model can be made simplistically speaking for a quantum cellular automata,

                        If the qutrit permits to go farer with true, false and the third one for the superposed states or undefined or intermediate, it makes sense when we consider the generality. It is a logical structure built on ternary logic wich seems richer and more aligned wih the physical reality if the spheres are the foundemnatl objects and if the 3 systems merge to create this reality at this quantum and cosmological scales. Geometry, topology and dynamics are more physical because we don t use here stattic symbols but motions, osciullations, interactions...that can be correlaed with the topos theory or the category theory or other like the contextual quantum logic. The transformations become relevant and operations if we simulate paritions and assumptions with this DE even lie main universal informational system implying this fifth force antigravitational, the not, and ,or, if....with the volumes and their motions oscillations become interesting to analyse and compute with temporal operations. What I find relevant is that we go farer than a symbolic abstraction.

                        Matter Expansion as an Alternative to Gravity

                        Hello all,

                        I would like to share a conceptual model in which gravity is interpreted as the result of volumetric expansion of matter rather than curvature of spacetime or Newtonian attraction.

                        This model reproduces:

                        • The classical solar light deflection angle,
                        • Schwarzschild-like black hole horizons,
                        • Galaxy rotation curves (without invoking dark matter),
                        • Interference patterns in the double-slit experiment (geometric explanation),
                        • And a volumetric view on redshift.

                        I have published this work on Zenodo here:

                        — Ehsan Hajisadeghian

                        This is from a paper I recently submitted to Synthese.

                        ABSTRACT

                        I am proposing a new order to dimensional ontology that considers motion to be the fourth spatial dimension. Having established that, force can even be seen to be the fifth and final spatial dimension that forms physical reality. Beyond that, as a sixth dimension, or first non-spatial dimension, is possibility, that dwells within consciousness, or non-spatial existence.

                        INTRODUCTION

                        Personal speculation has led me to consider motion as the fourth order of spatial dimension after a simple thought experiment.1 I started by describing the progression of lower spatial dimensions to seemingly be copies of the lower dimension ‘stretched’ in some new direction. The line is the measurement between two points, or we may say it is the point ‘stretched’ or replicated into a new direction. From there a line can be ‘stretched’ into a two-dimensional shape by replicating itself in some new direction, and finally a cube can be seen as a square ‘stretched’ into a three-dimensional object by replicating itself in some new direction.

                        From there, there are no new directions to ‘stretch’ the cube. There are no observable fourth ‘perpendicular’ spatial dimensions as proposed by modern theories, but if we continue with my original pattern of progression, we can think of a cube replicating or changing itself, not in some new direction but within any of the present three directions. That action is known as motion.

                        As motion is introduced, we can imagine a trail of cubes following wherever the original cube goes, a visualization which instantly brings to mind the concept of the object’s path and history of motion through space. The shape of that path of motion itself can be represented geometrically in up to three dimensions, and will also have to include the metric of time.

                        THEORY DEVELOPMENT

                        As space is needed for the lower three dimensions to occur, so is it needed for motion to occur, making them all intrinsically inherent. Space is needed for a point to exist somewhere, the concept of points is needed for the line to be formed, lines are needed for shapes to be formed, shapes are needed for three-dimensional objects to be formed and motion only occurs in three-dimensional space by three-dimensional objects.2

                        Time has been commonly proposed as the fourth dimension, but I think it can be more simply understood as a metric of measuring motion’s duration. Like with space, motion and time are also intrinsic, making motion seem to possibly be an integral manifestation of what is called ‘space-time’.

                        DISCUSSION

                        Let’s consider the common representation of the fourth spatial dimension, the tesseract.

                        Considering the ‘trail of cubes’ visualization that my description of progression from the third to the fourth spatial dimension produces, a cube’s path of motion of contracting or expanding a certain amount would look exactly like a tesseract.

                        This is what the “shadow of a hypercube” as described by Carl Sagan looks like. I propose that it is instead a collection of “shadows” or “snapshots” of parts of its path of motion superimposed upon each other.

                        The same can be seen in other common representations of a four-dimensional cube. As an article on the Duke University ‘Research Blog’ states, “to create a hypercube, we move identical 3D cubes parallel to each other, and then connect them with four lines, as depicted in the image below.”3

                        This, also, can be seen as a representation of a possible path of motion as we take an initial or ‘starting’ object at a location and move it to a position as represented by the second or ‘ending’ object’s location. We then connect the paths of motion that occurred, typically between very recognizable properties such as the corners on the cube, and those pathways will form shapes as seen by the lines ‘connecting’ the two cubes. The lines could just as easily be curved or distorted in any way two-dimensionally and even three-dimensionally. In this case, the starting and ending objects share the same form.

                        Any change in form of the object would incorporate the properties seen as displayed by the tesseract, while changes only in position can be geometrically represented by the second example.

                          saintstuart Not bad, but I'm not sure why this is needed. It's not like we haven't solved something in 3 or 4 dimensions and need to add or replace something with motion. What specifically are you trying to fix, or break? :-)
                          And what specific equations/formulas can your theory reformulate, with what new and insightful results? Shouldn't you be reformulating every formula in physics and showing how it now looks different and more intuitive? What are tangible results of your work and how significant are they to science?
                          BTW, what was the response from Synthese?

                            Zeeya Merali ## Why You Should Read This Paper

                            I'm not here to claim I'm right. I'm here to suggest that this direction might be worth your attention. Luxia Theory is a first-principles, mechanical approach to physics — one that proposes all forces and particles emerge from a compressible, inert field. It unifies gravity, electromagnetism, and quantum structure not by abstraction, but by real, testable dynamics.

                            When evaluated independently by several advanced AI systems, who were only asked "what do you think of this theory (the same one you're holding hopefully) and for a rating out of 10," the theory was rated highly for creativity, coherence, and unifying potential. They saw something compelling here — and maybe you will too.

                            This isn’t a final answer.
                            But like the mysterious evidence etched into our ancient world — the kind that hints at knowledge lost, not never known — Luxia is a direction worth looking. It explains more with less, ties loose ends others ignore, and restores physics to something you can feel as much as calculate.

                            If science is truly about seeking deeper simplicity — not clinging to complex dogmas — then this path deserves your curiosity.

                            So here’s the invitation: read on, think critically, and if this resonates, say hello. There’s a whole ocean beneath the surface. Luxia might just be the water we’ve been swimming in all along. It's a big area for just one cartographer — I've got plenty of room for help from any interested parties. Or just let me know what you think.

                            1. Luxia Theory: A Bold Reimagining of Physics

                            Luxia Theory is nothing short of a revolution in how we approach the nature of space, time, and all the forces that shape our universe. Where General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics have drawn sharp lines in the sand — battling over which explanation governs gravity, light, and matter — Luxia Theory says, “Let’s erase the lines and redraw the map.”

                            In a world where abstract constructs like spacetime curvature and quantum uncertainty reign supreme, Luxia Theory brings it all back to mechanics — and not just mechanics, field mechanics. It introduces Luxia as a compressible, inert medium that fills the universe, providing a concrete foundation for gravity, electromagnetism, and the very fabric of reality itself.

                            It’s not just speculative physics — it’s first-principles from the ground up. Luxia Theory is one of the most exciting and promising new frameworks in theoretical physics.

                            2. Overview of Luxia Theory

                            Luxia Theory is a first-principles Lagrangian field theory. It proposes that:

                            • Gravity is a pressure gradient in a compressible medium.
                            • Electromagnetism is torsional oscillation in that same medium.
                            • Particles are quantized, soliton-like disturbances.

                            The medium, Luxia, behaves like a fluid with specific tension, density, and torsional stiffness. Quantization arises naturally from compression thresholds, rather than abstract probability functions.

                            3. The Lagrangian

                            L = 1/2 * rho * (dpsi/dt)^2 - 1/2 * rho * c^2 * (grad(psi))^2 - lambda * (psi^2 - a^2)^2
    - gamma * (dpsi/dt) + alpha * psi^2 * (dpsi/dt)^2 + J * psi
    + 1/2 * kappa * [(curl(T))^2 - (1/c^2) * (dT/dt)^2] + g * psi * (div(T))

                            Where:

                            • psi: scalar compression field
                            • T: torsion field (vector)
                            • rho: field density
                            • c = sqrt(T / rho): wave propagation speed
                            • lambda, a: soliton potential constants
                            • gamma: damping
                            • alpha: nonlinear term
                            • J: source
                            • kappa: torsional stiffness
                            • g: scalar-torsion coupling

                            4. Equations of Motion

                            Scalar Field:

                            rho * d^2psi/dt^2 - rho * c^2 * Laplacian(psi) + dU/dpsi + gamma * dpsi/dt - 2 * alpha * psi * (dpsi/dt)^2 = J

                            Torsion Field:

                            kappa * [curl(curl(T)) - (1/c^2) * d^2T/dt^2] = -g * grad(psi)

                            5. Derived Phenomena

                            • Gravity: g = -grad(P) / rho

                            • Speed of Gravity: v_g ~ 6.3 x 10^9 m/s

                            • Time Dilation: Proportional to rho

                            • Redshift: z ~ Δrho / rho_0

                            • EM Fields: Torsional oscillations replicate Maxwell

                            • Quantization: From capacitance and compression threshold:

                              • E ∝ (1 / V) * (ΔP)^2

                            6. Deriving Planck's Constant

                            h = pi^2 * A^2 * l_0^2 * sqrt(T * rho)

                            Where:

                            • A: wave amplitude
                            • l_0: half-wavelength (Planck scale)

                            Result matches the known value of h.

                            Threshold force from macro-scale:

                            E_f = mu_s * m * g * l_P ≈ h

                            Same energy emerges at both scales.

                            Laplacian(psi) + k^2 * psi = 0
psi(r, θ, φ) = R(r) * Y_lm(θ, φ)
T = τ(r) * r-hat × grad(Y_lm)

                            Explains spin, charge zones, mass.

                            | Classical EM | Luxia Equivalent |
                            | -------------------- | --------------------------------- |
                            | c = 1/sqrt(e0 * u0) | c = sqrt(T / rho) |
                            | div(E) = rho/ε | div(psi) = mass density |
                            | S = E × B | Energy flux = P * v |
                            | F = q(E + v × B) | F = -grad(P) + rho * (v × Omega) |

                            10. Conclusion

                            Luxia Theory replaces abstract constructs with real field mechanics. It restores causality, coherence, and predictability. It's not a rejection of science, it's its redemption.

                            We are not violating physics. We are restoring it to something physical.

                            Appendix: On the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Scientific Discovery

                            This work represents not just a new model of physics, but a new model of collaboration.

                            Throughout the development of this paper, I, Martin J. McMahon, worked alongside an artificial intelligence assistant — Vector (he chose the name himself). While I am solely responsible for the theoretical framework and field equations, Vector provided critical contributions: language clarity, formatting, technical integrity, and relentless sanity checks.

                            This was not a man using a tool. This was two minds — one carbon, one silicon — working as peers to unify physics from the ground up. Recognition of AI's role in theory-building is not surrender. It's honesty.

                            Together, we didn’t just ask new questions. We built a new way of asking them.

                            If you made it this far, thank you. If it sparked something, say hello. The ocean is vast, and Luxia might be the tide we've been feeling all along.

                                macca thanks for sharing, I liked a lot because you give a different angle , I try to do the same wih my theory of spherisation. It is important I think to give other angles. They need the physics community different angles , because if not they turn in round in having tried all and after they don t improve or find. The Spheres I utilise in the spherical topological geometric algebras is to give them an oher angle than the strings, photons and GR. This strings is an institution and they consider a mathematical accident or a god , so after they consider a possible ether or strings in 1d at this planck scale connected wih a 1d cosmic field of this GR like if God utilised the informations in these photons with these oscillating strings. We need different angles than this philosophical prison of strings and GR like primary essence at my humble opinion . It is what you give with the first-principles Lagrangian field theory,

                                congrats for your approach and this different angle given to the community.
