I wonder how screw thread pitch and rotation is related to CPT symmetry?

Hi Dr. Cosmic Ray,

I appreciate you reading my essay and thinking about the helical screw idea for a graviton. I need to read your explanations more thoroughly but also agree with the similarity to String Theory. I'm currently modelling the proton-proton bond in a hydrogen molecule, which is trickier than it sounds. I'm currently toying with the mental imagery of fractal helix rings which are twisted into Mobius figure-of-eights. It's proving fruitful and something which I'm pursuing dayly.

Thanks for your comments,

Best wishes, AlanAttachment #1: Moebius_Surface_1_Display_Small1.png

I've just encountered the Wikipedia entry for Bose/Einstein condensates which has a section describing vortices and mentions analogue gravity research:

"Vortices in Bose/Einstein condensates are also currently the subject of analogue gravity research, studying the possibility of modeling black holes and their related phenomena in such environments in the lab."

Hi Alan,

We may be thinking along parallel lines.

If a Black Hole is static (I'm not sure that it can really exist, but consider the question), then quantum gravity may build a spacetime lattice similar to a Carbon-60 buckyball/ soccer ball/ truncated icosahedron just outside of and surrounding the singularity. This symmetry could potentially be stable against the crushing gravitational (near?) singularity.

If we have a rotating Black Hole, then torsion from the spinning Black Hole may cause a pair of nested Buckyballs to morph into their homotopic cousin, a lattice-like torus. This lattice-like torus has some similarities with your Mobius figure.

I was worried about how discrete toroidal lattices could transition into continuously differentiable spacetime, but it may be as simple as Philip Gibbs "qubits of strings" idea. Basically, the lattice point is the end of a string (and the strings expand within the Black Hole as Sreenath's logarithmic spirals), and a large number of lattice points and strings exist (10^41 or more) such that spacetime seemingly blends into a continuum.

CPT symmetry almost makes it sound as if different pitched or rotating Archimede's Screws may represent forward vs. backward time evolution, matter vs. anti-matter, and attractive gravity vs. repulsive dark energy/ Cosmological Constant.

If you read my essay, you will see that I have been trying to incorporate the different spin statistics (Maxwell, Bose and Fermi) into my ideas. I think that Inflation was caused by the breaking of the original TOE symmetry. We may generate self-similar scales via such kinds of phase transitions (as Inflation - this also ties into Coldea et al's magnetic quasi-particle masses near a phase transition), and our Observable Universe may be just one of several self-similar scales (the quantum scale is another).

Have Fun!

Dr. Cosmic Ray

Alan thanks for responses above. I agree and am predicting toroids are the way ahead with a pretty fundamental range of applications. I note I didn't seem to have rated your essay so expect a boost. Hope you'll rate mine if you haven't yet.

Best wishes

Peter

    Hi Peter,

    I left this for Alan on this blog site on Mar. 7, 2011 @ 14:58 GMT:

    Perhaps we are all thinking along parallel lines? I had some other comments that tied into Alan's Archimede's Screw idea as well.

    Have Fun!

    Dr. Cosmic Ray

    Hi Doc,

    Yes, we definitely are thinking along the same lines, more than I initially thought in fact. The football-to-torus tranformation link was most appreciated, that's exactly what I'm on about. Very nice graphics. I'd forgotten about the simple knot shape, so that's particularly useful. I'm now understanding how other people's ideas are more similar to my own than I first realised. Thanks for bringing the details to my attention. I'll endeavour to give your essay another look a.s.a.p.

    Bye for now, Alan

    Peter:

    Thanks for the vote, I need all I can! I've scored your's and appreciate the connection with the toroidal shape of structure at certain scales. It's a fascinating journey that we are all on and the answer to a full t.o.e is within our lifetimes and most likely within a year or two imo.

    Cheers, Alan

    Here's an attachment to explain the idea of a graviton travelling around a wraparound universe which would then seem like a force of repulsion. I'm talking to an interested third party in his Subrealsim blog. The second diagram shows my latest thoughts about the structure of the next scale up from helix rings..Attachment #1: Note2.jpgAttachment #2: Note1.jpg

    My latest thoughts:

    A bond is due to increased local irregularities in gluon emission streams by protons and to a lesser extent neutrons.

      I've just clicked a bit..All the forces can be explained by the Archimedes screw representing the structural analogue graviton. All forces greater than the 'gravity force' are due to local irregularities of structure which exaggerate the asymmetry of the graviton-like structure itself. A graviton should be modelled as vector quantity. All the forces can be explained by the relative flux density of gravitons.Attachment #1: 1_Note1.jpgAttachment #2: 1_Note2.jpg

      Hi Alan,

      In Chapter 4 of my book (please click on "Preview" under the picture of the cover for a free partial preview), I define a Grand-Unified-Mediating (GUM) Boson that carries properties of the Color, Electromagnetic, Weak, Gravitational, etc. Forces based on occupational probabilities. Of course, the gluon is the most probable GUM boson, so your notes are close to the idea.

      Perhaps we have different screws with different thread finenesses (I think that the weaker gravity has a finer thread, and the stronger electromagnetism has a courser thread) and probabilities based on quantum statistical properties.

      Have Fun!

      Dr. Cosmic Ray

      Hi Ray,

      I'd like to applaud you on such an excellent endeavour as your grandiose book. It's just the kind of thing I've wanted to do myself. I have a non-mathematical approach to begin with though, so I would be lost quite quickly if I tried to read it perhaps. I'm sure you can gain something from the Archimedes screw idea, it can explain the galaxy rotation curve mystery as well as dark energy. See the new thread below,

      You have fun too Ray,

      Best wishes, Alan

        The idea of the Archimedes screw as a model for the graviton leads to an explanation for the galaxy curve conundrum i.e. the reason why stars are observed to be orbiting faster than expected towards the outer edge of the spiral galaxies. See my notes for further details..Attachment #1: 2_Note2.jpgAttachment #2: Note3.jpg

        Hi Alan,

        Thank You! I think that Physics is a necessarily bilingual thought process involving both language and mathematics. Some people fall too heavily on the language side, and some fall too heavily on the mathematics side. Ultimately, a succesful theory will usually involve mathematics applied to an idea.

        Perhaps I am too mathematical (I have a PhD in Physics, but only a BS Minor in Mathematics - so I'm not the most extreme mathematician) to appeal to a general audience. Some of my FQXi friends "beat me up" over falsifiability. Chapter 6 of my book did address some falsifiable ideas (I explained Dark Energy with Variable Coupling Theory), but the truth is that I'm always trying to push further beyond the horizon.

        It was easy and inexpensive to publish my book as a print-on-demand book on Lulu.com, and pay for Amazon distribution.

        Have Fun!

        Dr. Cosmic Ray

        Hi again Ray,

        Yes, I understand what you mean, although simulation modelling is yet another angle to view the discrepancy between maths and language. It's a viable alternative to a mathematical model when solving problems in the business world for example.

        The helical screw model gives matter a new fundamental shape and dynamics which the standard model lacks imo. This non-spherical emission of gravitons is in stark contrast to the Newtonian/Einsteinian acceptance that "all things exert a gravitatinal field equally in all directions". This asymmetry of the gravitational field allows for the stars to experience a greater pull towards the galactic plane, due to their rotation giving more order to the inner fluid matter of the stellar core. Both the structure of the emitter and the absorber of the gravity particles is important. It also has implications for hidden matter at the centre of the galaxies..

        Thanks for the insider knowledge on getting a book published with the minimum of fuss. Cheers.

        KInd regards, Alan

        On day-by-day thinking about the novel idea of a mechanical Archimedes screw in empty space representing the force of gravity by gravitons, I have deduced an explanation for the galaxy rotation curve anomaly.

Both the structure of the emitter and the absorber of the gravity particles is important. It also has implications for hidden matter at the centre of the galaxies..

        I've given the idea some more thought and come to the conclusion that the stars furthest from the galactic centre must have a more 'bipolar nature' than the matter of stars of the inner halo presumably. This is the reason they have wandered towards the galactic plane whilst the halo stars have not. The outer stars' configuration means they experience a greater interaction with the flux pattern of the graviton field. Are the stars of the outer arms simply spinning faster?? We are on the outer edge of a spiral arm and so this would fit with this hypothesis. Our sun could have spin which is higher that that of the average halo star. This relationship between spin and distance from the galactic centre is a fundamental feature which ties in with the suggested mechanism of their creation.

        All that is needed is an additional factor of stellar spin speed as well as it's mass and distance from the galactic centre. The relationship should then give calculated values which match those of the observed.Attachment #1: GalaxyRotationCurve.jpg

        Hi Alan,

        I'm still playing with different versions of Moebius Surface's and my lattice-like toroids. This geometrical puzzle has me stumped so far...

        Have Fun!

        I've just had a thought:

        Is it -less- tidal strength which decreases the ocean currents and therefore less heat is transported from the equator to the poles? This is an even simpler explanation of why the Earth has been entering an ice age every 100,000 years!

        Less tidal strength could perhaps influence the Earth's atmosphere so that more solar radiation reaches the surface..
