Gravity: Ask yourself and honestly and sincerely answer:
1. How exactly do galaxies form?
2. How exactly do galaxies become spiral shaped?
3. What exactly does that mean for a solar system that exists in a spiral shaped galaxy?

[phenomenon]

Great film. I think the key point is there is so much more to discover about the phenomenon of light. Light and time are intrinsically linked a fact not left in un-debated in Neil Fulcher's book 'Phenomenon' (Amazon) where he proves it is possible to time travel using photo illuminance using your soul in an out of Body experience 🌈🎱

[APOLLO-BC]

Violating the laws of physics will get you arrested.

[charlesbrightman]

Consider the following: Light intensity and inverse square law.
A laser light in a vacuum would most probably violate this law. And then consider also, a super nova event in the universe might have a more laser effect of the light coming towards us versus a star not going super nova.

In other words, just utilizing the brightness of a star may or may not be truly accurate as to the actual distance of the various stars.

[potawatomi]

Fantastic video and so worthwhile to view one or more times. It’s informative, entertaining and superbly well narrated. Outstanding production.

[Edruezzi]

Aristotle's "physics" crippled intellectual development for 2000 years and Newton's leap was the first step away from the farm.

[leonmedenilla]

I will disagree about two objects fall together in same speed...

String Theory was not a waste of time. Geometry is the key to Math and Physics.

What if we describe subatomic particles as spatial curvature, instead of trying to describe General Relativity as being mediated by particles?

Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules: "A theory that you can't explain to a bartender is probably no damn good." Ernest Rutherford

The following is meant to be a generalized framework for an extension of Kaluza-Klein Theory. Does it agree with the “Twistor Theory” of Roger Penrose? During the early history of mankind, the twisting of fibers was used to produce thread, and this thread was used to produce fabrics. The twist of the thread is locked up within these fabrics. Is matter made up of twisted 3D-4D structures which store spatial curvature that we describe as “particles"? Are the twist cycles the "quanta" of Quantum Mechanics?

When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. ( E=hf, More spatial curvature as the frequency increases = more Energy ). What if gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks. (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are a part of the quarks. Quarks cannot exist without gluons, and vice-versa. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Force" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" are logically based on this concept. The Dirac “belt trick” also reveals the concept of twist in the ½ spin of subatomic particles. If each twist cycle is proportional to h, we have identified the source of Quantum Mechanics as a consequence twist cycle geometry.

Modern physicists say the Strong Force is mediated by a constant exchange of Mesons. The diagrams produced by some modern physicists actually represent the Strong Force like a spring connecting the two quarks. Asymptotic Freedom acts like real springs. Their drawing is actually more correct than their theory and matches perfectly to what I am saying in this model. You cannot separate the Gluons from the Quarks because they are a part of the same thing. The Quarks are the places where the Gluons are entangled with each other.

Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons?

Does an electron travel through space like a threaded nut traveling down a threaded rod, with each twist cycle proportional to Planck’s Constant? Does it wind up on one end, while unwinding on the other end? Is this related to the Higgs field? Does this help explain the strange ½ spin of many subatomic particles? Does the 720 degree rotation of a 1/2 spin particle require at least one extra dimension?

Alpha decay occurs when the two protons and two neutrons (which are bound together by entangled tubes), become un-entangled from the rest of the nucleons

. Beta decay occurs when the tube of a down quark/gluon in a neutron becomes overtwisted and breaks producing a twisted torus (neutrino) and an up quark, and the ejected electron. The phenomenon of Supercoiling involving twist and writhe cycles may reveal how overtwisted quarks can produce these new particles. The conversion of twists into writhes, and vice-versa, is an interesting process.

Gamma photons are produced when a tube unwinds producing electromagnetic waves.


Within this model a black hole could represent a quantum of gravity, because it is one cycle of spatial gravitational curvature. Therefore, instead of a graviton being a subatomic particle it could be considered to be a black hole. The overall gravitational attraction would be caused by a very tiny curvature imbalance within atoms. We know there is an unequal distribution of electrical charge within each atom because the positive charge is concentrated within the nucleus, even though the overall electrical charge of the atom is balanced by equal positive and negative charge.

In this model Alpha equals the compactification ratio within the twistor cone. 1/137

1= Hypertubule diameter at 4D interface

137= Cone’s larger end diameter at 3D interface where the photons are absorbed or emitted.

The 4D twisted Hypertubule gets longer or shorter as twisting or untwisting occurs. (720 degrees per twist cycle.)


How many neutrinos are left over from the Big Bang? They have a small mass, but they could be very large in number. Could this help explain Dark Matter?


Why did Paul Dirac use the twist in a belt to help explain particle spin? Is Dirac’s belt trick related to this model? Is the “Quantum” unit based on twist cycles?

[LSD]

@2:41 Wrong! The moment you move the ground (ice in your scenario) is already slowing you down via friction. Somebody tell that guy it's time to retire. 2:50

[charlesbrightman]

First: What exactly is 'space'?
Second: What exactly is 'time'?

[thesimplicitylifestyle]

Tired of fighting entropy? AI and Automation is the key! 😎🤖

[richardwarner]

Did anyone besides me, watch an astronaute drop a hammer & feather at the same time on the moon?

[sarahbeth]

Funny how the law of gravity only works when it involves something up off the ground falling toward the ground.
Example you put 2 balls on the floor 20 feet apart on a flat level suface they will remain still. Thus their center points will not be attracting each other however if you put one on the same flat surface and hold the other ball above the first ball and then drop the second ball gravity supposedly takes place. Or ist density...

[donchafetz]

How did the laws of physics come about

[rigobertovelasco]

This is good information But the 2nd guy explained it Wong because pushing something doesn't mean or doesn't always mean you go backwards like newton's cradle balls thing pushing something or body pushing someone brings you to a stop unless the other guy is coming at you also then you go backwards.. or am I wrong?

[atomeinstein]

You bunch of clones Einstein's meant the motion in space where there's no gravity your door knobs ?

[sydneymorey]

Watch, learn, entropy the 2nd law of thermodynamics, enjoyable, yes.

[charlesbrightman]

Here is the test for the 'gravity' portion of my TOE idea. I do not have the necessary resources to do the test but maybe you or someone else reading this does, will do the test, then tell the world what is found out either way.

a. Imagine a 12 hour clock.
b. Put a magnetic field across from the 3 to 9 o'clock positions.
c. Put an electric field across from the 6 to 12 o'clock positions.
(The magnetic field and electric field would be 90 degrees to each other and should be polarized so as to complement each other.)
d. Direct a high powered laser through the center of the clock at 90 degrees to the em fields.
e. Do this with the em fields on and off.
(The em fields could be varied in size, strength, density and depth. The intent would be to energy frequency match the laser and em fields for optimal results, cancelling out the em modalities of the laser, thereby leaving behind the gravity modality.)
f. Look for any gravitational / anti-gravitational effects.
(Including the utilization of ferro cells so as to be able to actually see the energy field movements.)
(And note: if done right, it's possible a mini gravitational black hole might form. Be ready for it. In addition, it's possible a neutrino might be formed before the black hole stage, the neutrino being a substance with a very high gravitational modality with very low 'em' modalities.)

(An alternative to the above would be to direct 3 high powered lasers, or a single high powered laser split into 3 beams, each adjustable to achieve the above set up, all focused upon a single point in space.)

'If' effects are noted, 'then' further research could be done.
'If' effects are not noted, 'then' my latest TOE idea is wrong. But still, we would know what 'gravity' was not, which is still something in the scientific world. Science still wins either way and moves forward.

[sweemk]

From day 1 of life, a person would have to SEE that everything is in a constant state of motions. Then the mathematics then on. We can't SEE it with our current natural eyes.

[simesaid]

Geez, considering this video was obviously intended for schoolchildren it sure contains a few erroneous statements, not to mention an absolute slew of misleading ones.
