Hello SlipString<br /><br />I did not read your book yet.<br /><br />Welcome to SDC <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /><br />When I started this thread I started with one question and of course I would like to listen to your thoughts:<br /><br />With the universe expanding and accelerating where does all the energy necessary to accelerate it comes from?<br /><br />Regarding your post I have also a question:<br /><br />How do you perceive the "before the big splash"?<br /><br />Regarding yourself:<br /><br />I am amazed that you find time to come to SDC but certainly is good to have you around. <br /><br />Do you usually use forums like SDC and what you expect from this kind of forum?

Thanks for all your welcomes, and positive comments! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />I just wrote a great long response (for about an hour), and unfortunately tried to close another firefox window that quicktime was choking in, and it crashed all 12 windows <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" /> Ugh... Ok, again from the start!<br /><br />Answering: "With the universe expanding and accelerating where does all the energy necessary to accelerate it comes from?"<br /><br />The collision of membranes or "big splash" gave our membrane (and matter) all the energy it has. When the two branes collided, it sent massive, violent vibrations throughout each brane. These vibrations of our brane itself compress spacetime, creating a spider's web network of "dark matter" throughout it, and shrinking its apparant size to only a few billion light years accross shortly after the collision. All those dark matter vibrations will, over time, relax as the brane vibrations relax over time. They will first relax the most in the "starless" regions of space (as we have observed) far away from the network of dark matter brane vibrations that attracted the first gases of the early universe. This massive amount of dark matter aided those early gases to collapse into the first stars and galaxies of our universe. As the brane vibrations relaxed, they turned the potential energy of the brane vibrations into the kinetic energy of expanding spacetime back out towards its original size before the collision.<br /><br />This expansion begins slowly as the brane vibrations have rapid, high peaks, but then picks up speed as those waves stretch out towards a sin wave pattern. As the vibrations relax even further, and their wavelengths get longer and longer, this acceleration will begin to slow down as the brane relaxes closer to its original size (which I roughly calculated to be 526 trillion light years accross in radius). <br /><br />So, the dark energy came from the original collision of bra

<font color="yellow">I look foreward to your responses, and hope you enjoyed my answers!</font><br /><br />I did enjoy. I must say that for the first time in this thread I see a concise answer to my question. If it is the correct time will tell. To me "fundamental particles", "gravity" and "acceleration" have been always the startling words.<br /><br />As for the fundamental particles I believe we are very far from ever knowing them and the reason is that since man as been exploring the quantum aspect of the universe everytime we added up one lense to our mental microscope we got a new surprise. Maybe that will be the last best kept secret.<br /><br />As for gravity, well it is different from all the other forces. The Pionner effect for example may just be one reflex of the uniqueness of gravity. As we leave the helioshpere we will se more changes, as we look further back in time until the symmetric breaking we will understand that what makes it different is the fact that it is able to communicate with the bulk.<br /><br />At last acceleration. Well if it will take 526 trillion light years for this "universal spring" to reach rest I may as well expect that other branes will collide until then and send us into a new voyage. <br /><br /><font color="yellow">As the brane vibrations relaxed, they turned the potential energy of the brane vibrations into the kinetic energy of expanding spacetime back out towards its original size before the collision.</font><br /><br />Can you define the moment when acceleration will slow down without ever knowing the density of the universe?<br /><br />Could our brane acceleration be the product of our brane being pushed instead of a collision?

The WMAP team has determined that our universe has a radius of at least 78 billion light years after 13.7 billion years of expansion.

As they're still using the "old math" <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> this 78 billion figure may be slightly low, but it's close enough for now. <br /><br />If we calculate how long it will take the universe to reach a radius of 263 trillion light years (halfway to its maximum radius of 526 trillion LY) at its changing rate of expansion, that should be the halfway point. At that time the universe should begin to put on the brakes, slowing its expansion in about the same amount of time it took to get that far. <br /><br />Since our expansion will still accelerate until that point, we just need to map the acceleration curve as several teams are doing now using both supernovae and quasars to peer back as far as possible. Preliminary results of that study are here as reported on NPR. Once we have the acceleration curve, we can calculate the time it will take to reach the halfway point!<br /><br />Re: "<font color="yellow">Could our brane acceleration be the product of our brane being pushed instead of a collision?</font><br /><br />Our brane was pushed away from the location of the collision, however as we are "trapped" within the b

As if to say that CBR is consistent radiation emitted by a blackbody and we are inside of it. </font><br /><br />Actually, that makes sense. Because our universe was created in a huge fireball of subatomic strings that were given energy from the membrane collision, it cooled and condensed into matter at roughly the same time everywhere. When the phase change occurred from quarks to matter, it released a flash of visible light everywhere which has been getting stretched further and further out as our universe has expanded.<br /><br />The radiation isn't still being emitted, it's getting weaker and weaker as our universe continues to expand. But because it was emitted everywhere at roughly the same time, it shouldn't matter where you observe it!<br /><br /><font color="yellow">What do you think is the difference between today's assumption that we understand the universe and the classical view which assumed exactly the same and got it wrong?</font><br /><br />Well, today most cosmologists still don't completely understand our universe.

Regarding relativity, it has already been measured accurate to within 0.5 percent by a study of binary pulsars. Also, NASA's Gravity Probe B should be reporting back soon with some precise results. Gravity only needs to be incorporated into M-theory with my <i>Membrane Theory of Gravity</i>. Once that's done, these small discrepencies can be figured out with the concepts I described earlier. <br /><br />Relativity, for the most part, is correct. However, we'll need the string theory equations to nail it down 100%! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

 

[search]

Lets wait for the Probe B results in April. SlipString I will read your book. It has been a pleasure to read your posts but remember Lord Kelvin: he tought the great ideas of physics were already known and it was only necessary to tidy up the details. Today we can barely reach 1Tev energy and see down to 10ˆ-18m but in 200 years we will look bad thinking like Lord Kelvin.<img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

[alokmohan]

Any way,another test will confirm it.

 

[slipstring]

It's been a pleasure conversing with you! I had a lot of fun thinking about your questions! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <br /><br />I know people like Lord Kelvin had been thinking that they were close to a final theory of physics many, many times before now, but they didn't know how much they didn't know!<br /><br />They were so much in the dark without any observations above our atmosphere which filters out so much of the information we needed. I wouldn't mind being surprised again in the future with a study revealing a new big question. It helps keep us striving to answer those big questions.<br /><br />The questions I can foresee would pertain to what our multiverse looks like outside our membrane. However, these questions will be very difficult to answer. The technology described in my book may take us on our first steps to understanding our brane in great detail. It's shape, how it vibrates, and what it looked like before the collision. <br /><br />One day, we might find a way to peer outside of our membrane. That's when we'll have more information to deal with. We could even detect the next membrane collision heading towards us someday <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />Luckily, with the technology described in my book, we're given a fighting chance to survive that next collision <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /><br />I hope you enjoy the book, and will try to stop by to see if I'm needed here <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />Personally, I can't wait to get started on R&D to try to build the types of engines & ships described in <i>SlipString Drive</i> so we can visit the black holes, nebulae, binary neutron stars and galaxies to get real first-hand data on these phenomena (not to mention visiting Earth-like planets to check out their inhabitants!)<br /><br />I know travel like this is thought to be impossible (I used to think it was too). However, there is a trick we can use to "bypass" spacetime instead of trying

 

[alokmohan]

Surely you agree that general theory of relativity has passed all tests.

 

[slipstring]

Absolutely! Relativity is correct. However, it does need to be combined with quantum mechanics via <i>Membrane Gravity</i> at the level of each individual string.<br /><br />My method of travel is completely relativistic and it obeys the laws of relativity. <br /><br />However, I don't want to go into it much further as to leave something for you to read in the book. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> The method obeys relativity, and it works! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

 

[alokmohan]

But inside black hole theory of relativity fails.Imean as you enter the hole after crossing event horizon.

 

[slipstring]

Once relativity is incorporated into my theory of gravity, it all works fine. The core of a black hole is not a singularity, but a ball of compactified individual strings a few tens of meters across.<br /><br />Because the strings are so tightly packed due to gravity, they no longer have the "room" to vibrate, and time effectively stops for them. This leaves the hole with only three defining characteristics: mass, force charge, and spin.<br /><br />This also explains how Hawking radiation preserves the information within the hole. When one virtual string falls into the hole, the other one is accelerated away from the event horizon. The string that falls in aniahlates one string at the core, and it's quantum state is given to the virtual string that escapes as both virtual strings' quantum states were entangled. This way, the matter's information in the hole is recycled as Hawking radiation, and no information is destroyed.<br /><br />Once relativity and quantum mechanics are unified in <i>Membrane Gravity</i>, it's all good <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />
