Now, we get it...Guys, thank you so much for simplifying it for us! 😂

“...you’ll always sort of see the same physical processes go on, and that’s basically why special relativity works.”
I was lost for a lot of this one but I think I got it at the end 👍🏽

Well, the ads that are now being recommended to me have undergone an upgrade sinse I started watching this channel.

I'm transfixed by the dancing shadows of this conversation

I would love to hear Stephen talk about set theory in relation to the causal graph. The reason is that sets work great for compressing complex arrangements of possible outcomes into manageable chunks. I think sets are somehow core in the way causes and effects are related. A good example is basic statistical probability of say winning a lottery. The odds are based on the set of possible outcomes. So a series of causes and effects can be displayed on a causal graph but then those interactions can be compressed into machine data with sets.

two years old .. time for Stephen to come on again ..

But what is this and how does this happen. For me this makes little sense because I don't understand how this abstract system emerges and then operates. Maybe focus a bit less on math and more on logic?
Another thing is the speed of change, what determines how fast change/time happens? Why doesn't change happen much quicker, or almost infinitely quick, what's slowing it down?

My intuitive feeling about this is that this theory is wrong, but might get us closer, bridge the gap, if even by excluding this possibility. Or these mathematical transformations could be close to something more true, but not be the ultimate truth. I think it's very easy to come up with many different theories that explain the basic features of reality, and still be pretty wrong in their details, but have a thread in common - that seems to be Change. Change seems to be very fundamental to theory of everything, and it's just figuring out logically, or bending the logic a bit, why Change is the only way existence can happen.

Does the following quantum model agree with the Spinor Theory of Roger Penrose?

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

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. (More spatial curvature). 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 actually a part of the quarks. 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" make sense based on this concept. 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.



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

A Hypertubule gets longer or shorter as twisting occurs. 720 degrees per twist cycle.



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

I think Hamon/The Ripple is causal invariance

[mattfinleylive]

Isn't this reminiscent of the "One-electron Universe"? (Wheeler)

I’m not a fan of Jews otherwise 👍🏻🤷🏻‍♂️.
