Dear Satyavarapu,
I hope you realize by now that I am not interested in the politics or the prizes in the essay contests. I am interested in transferring new information to man that is required in order to allow man to progress to the next level of understanding to keep advancements in line with the goals and intents that must be accomplished at their appointed times. Those goals and intents will be accomplished, of course, but, my desire is that man can participate in their achievement in as closely as possible to an equal participation level with all involved. There are, however, other lower levels of participation available to man if he proves to be inadequate for equal participation, but these would not likely be considered to be good results by man. This would result in great suffering for man, Even though I have tried to stay within the context of man's current level of understanding, as much as possible, man has not yet shown the ability to observe, input, understand, and assimilate the new information into his current understanding. I have seen some beginning conceptual understandings, but they all consider space to be more than it is and the motions that exist in that space to be less than they are and to act or behave in ways not in accordance with their actual observed behavior. Most don't even want to try to understand the true nature of forces, energy photons, and matter particles. They are content to just understand what interaction outcomes can occur and the probability of occurrence of each outcome (to only know their outputs) and don't have any desire to truly understand the underlying structure and the interaction path flows of that structure that generate those outcomes and their probabilities. Of course, many might investigate structural concepts in more detail, except they have been scientifically neutered by acceptance of uncertainty principles or other concepts that take away the possibility in their minds of their willingness to proceed in that direction. From what I have seen in this contest though, it is a belief, whether it is in God or a god or no God and the belief of what would, therefore, be required in the structure and operation of the universe to support that belief that determines what many are willing to believe scientifically. This blinds most from seeing any concepts except those few that could support their belief.
I have found that the only way to get the true understanding of the structure, operation, and purpose of the universe is to first put all of those things aside and just observe the universe to begin to gain an understanding of it. The next step is to interact with it to get a better understanding of it than could be obtained by observation only. The third step is to search out for other(s) who can give more understanding because their position or ability is different in such a way(s) as to allow the knowledge of things that you could not access from your limited position. Once all of the understandings that have been gained by these processes have been fully explored, it is then time to see what beliefs would be supported by the way that the universe is constructed and operates, etc. In this way the mind can remain open to all new possible concepts until all of the information leads to the only possible true belief(s).
What other ways do you believe would allow you to sense the great gravitational blue shift that your theory predicts?
I am currently constructing a structure in outer space.
In all interactions so far observed by man, the total amount of energy (motion) is conserved. This means that energy is neither created nor destroyed in interactions. Gravity fields work in similar ways. As an example, when an entity approaches a large mass, the gravity field of that mass adds energy to the entity by increasing its rate of motion (motion amplitude). If the entity does not actually strike the large mass, but just passes closely by it and then travels away from it again, once it passes the point of minimum distance from the center of gravity of the large mass and begins to travel away from its center of gravity, the gravity field begins to remove the energy that had been added during its approach to the large mass. By the time the entity effectively exits the gravity field, it has lost all of the energy it had gained during its path into the gravity field, so that it is restored to the velocity that it had before it entered the gravity field. The effect that you call gravitational red shift, which actually produces both red and blues shifts that are equal depending on the direction of travel in the gravity field, also works in this way. Travel toward the center of gravity from point A to point B produces a blue shift while travel away from the center of gravity from point B to point A produces an equal amplitude red shift. In the energy conversion process that you mention, after the original photons have their frequencies up shifted they would contain more energy than they originally contained before the upshifting. If this process works according to the principles of energy conservation as you mention, so that the total amount of energy in the universe remains the same, where does that extra energy come from? If it is not transferred into them by the input of energy from some external source that then contains less energy as a result of the transfer, the new energy that is added to the photons to upshift them would be newly created energy that would increase the total amount of energy in the universe. I believe this is contrary to your theory. When that new energy is changed into matter particles, those new matter particles would increase the amount of matter in the universe. Since the energy photons were changed into matter particles, the energy photons that had been converted would no longer exist and, therefore, the energy level would be restored to the level that existed before the fusion process began. This would mean that the energy recycling part of your theory could work if the great blue shift that you propose actually exists. The problem is that the new matter particles that are produced are not recycled. They are fused in the stars, which not only would produce new energy photons for the next cycle of upshifting, but would also produce more midrange atoms that cannot be fused in stars. This extra matter would continually be added to the universe and ultimately cause everything to break down as I have already explained.
Nuclear fission would break down some atoms, but only a small proportion of them. Most fission takes place in the heaviest atoms, which are broken down into lighter stable atoms that are still very heavy such as lead, which will not fission any further. There are also unstable isotopes of some lighter element atoms that would fission, but for the most part the final output atoms generated by the fission process would be stable and still above the size range of the atoms that stars can use as fusion fuel. Like in fusion, fission does not generally actually change matter particles into energy photons. The energy photons produced come mainly from freed binding energy, etc. Since your upshifting would produce all of the new protons needed to replenish the fuel to be fused in the stars, if you were in some way able to break all of the heavier atoms down into lighter atoms that could also be used as fusion fuel in the stars that fusion material would then build up in the universe cause a runaway increase in the formation of new stars and galaxies that would ultimately fill up all of space. This is because you would not be addressing the basic problem of the continual increase of energy in the universe due to the photon upshifting. Transferring that increase in energy into an increase of matter particles does not solve the problem that the increase in energy would ultimately fill the universe whether it is in the form of energy photons or matter particles.
On the other hand, if the new atoms were not broken down into fusible atoms, as the new matter built up in the universe, more and more of it would be drawn into stars making them denser, so that they would consume their fusible materials faster and more of them would end in super nova explosions, thus creating more of the heavier atoms. You are right that it would not only be new stars that would be affected, but existing stars would also pull some of that extra matter into themselves and also become denser with the same results.
As you say some of that matter would be in the form of larger objects like planets, meteors, and comets, etc., but even some of those would be drawn into stars as the universe became more crowded with such matter objects. No matter how the matter was dispersed in space the continual buildup of matter would ultimately result in large amounts of that matter being drawn into stars and adding to their density, which would make the stars burn out quicker, but would not add any usable fusion material to the stars.
The less dense stars like the sun generally currently outnumber the denser stars that end in a supernova, but as the matter density of the universe increased over time due to the extra midrange atoms generated by the photon upshifting, that would change. Stars would take in some of that extra matter and become denser until most stars were in that denser size range and end in supernovas. Since the denser stars have much shorter lifetimes, this would lead to an increased cycling rate for the photon upshifting, thus generating more new midrange atoms much quicker and at the same time it would also generate large amounts of heavier atoms also in a shorter time due to the greater number of supernovas.
The big bang theory does not say that all stars were created at the same time. It just says that most of the hydrogen atoms in the universe were created in a relatively short time. The stars formed over time due to instabilities in the density of the hydrogen atoms in various places at various different times that led to the formation of denser hydrogen concentrations that created increased gravity in those places, which attracted more hydrogen into those areas to form gas clouds that ultimately contracted into stars. This process still continues as new instabilities form and will continue until the density of hydrogen in the universe gets too low to allow it to continue. If your great blue shift does not exist, that hydrogen will be consumed by stars long before the buildup of midrange atoms would cause much of a problem. The stars would then all go out and the buildup of midrange atoms would then stop.
Most of man's current concepts about black holes would allow them to slowly dissipate over time by emission of gamma rays, etc. This could conceivably change the matter particles that they take in into energy photons.
The process would speed up because as the amount of midrange atoms built up over time, more and more of that matter would be taken into stars, the stars would become denser and have shorter lives because they would consume more fusible material in shorter times. The hotter more dense stars would generate more photons to upshift per unit of time, thus increasing the rate of production of new matter particles to fuse in the larger stars. The denser stars would produce larger numbers of the midrange atoms per unit of time because the denser stars must fuse more fusible materials per unit of time to generate the greater temperatures necessary to keep the denser stars from collapsing due to their greater gravity field. The increase in the rate of production of the midrange atoms would increase the rate of addition of those atoms into stars to make them still more dense and these increases would continue until all existing stars collapsed due to their density becoming so great that no fusion process could generate enough heat to resist the pull of their strong gravity fields. Any new stars that started to form would pull in so much of this matter so quickly that they would also collapse before much of their fusible matter could be fused.
It would be likely that some galaxies would die out before others, but as each galaxy died out it would leave a large area of space that contained too high a density of non-fusible matter to allow a new galaxy to form in it. New galaxies could still form in other areas, but in the long run all of space would be filled up with too much non-fusible matter for any new galaxies to form.
Summary of main problem:
The main thing that you would need to explain is where the extra energy that is added to the energy photons during their upshifting comes from. In order for the upshifting to work and not add to the energy content of the universe, energy must be transferred from some entity that contains more energy than the up shifted photons will contain once the upshifting is completed and that transfer must result in an equal decrease in the energy content of the entity that transferred energy into the photons to upshift them. In order for the upshifting process to continue indefinitely, the entity that transferred some of its energy to the photons to upshift them would need to in some way have the energy that it gave up in the upshifting process to be replenished in some way that would create a complete cyclical energy flow cycle. Due to entropy, I believe that such a complete cyclical energy flow cycle without any losses would not be possible.
Sincerely,
Paul
