First off, this is not a thread on Evolution or problems with scientific theory. Lets not go there and I don't want to hear it.
As most of you know, Im not a trained scientist, but have read a few things, and understand most of it, I have been thinking the last few days about the 'nature' of the universe.
I've had a profound thought, and maybe someone could either confirm i'm insane or a genius
I was thinking - what would the universe actually be, if I looked at it from its own point of view, rather than mine.
What would Einsteins theory of relativity mean to a photon?
consider - at the speed of light (c) we know from experiments, that distance is reduced to zero, and there is no time. So since the big-bang, which occured +/- 14 billion years ago to 'us', - in actuality if I was a photon, this occured exactly 0 seconds ago.
Now consider that 'we' measure the known universe as 30 billion light years across, but what is this distance to a photon. Exacly 0.
Now - we know from big-bang theory, that at one point, all the mass of the universe was in one place, and that something caused the expansion we see today.
BUT - from the POV of a photon, there has been no expansion, because the distances from its own perspective is still 0, just like from its perspective this happend 0 time ago.
Now, consider that for distances and time to become 'perceivable' as opposed to 0, then something must be travelling slower than c for 'us' to perceive it as spacial and within time. As we are part of this stuff that is travelling slower than c, we would perceive it.
So I propose (and this is where I dont want to be misunderstood by the nutjobs) that the Big-bang may not have been an expansion of the space, but was infact a change in velocity of some of the matter, slowing down from c, to give the 'appearance' of time and distances.
And as it continues to slow down relative to c, this is why we perceive the universe as expanding.
And this is where it gets interesting - Take Schrodingers quantum entanglement problem. Wouldn't this problem be solved, if infact there is no distance between the two photons regardless of where they are in the universe - because after all there is no time or distance as perceived by the photons, so communication between the two is instant from their POV (because they are still in the same place at the same time), and therefore doesn't require backwards time travel communication or spooky magic, But infact, we only perceive it as a mystery, because we are travelling slower than c, so it is 'us' that 'perceive' a 'non existant' distance and time.
Now take the mystery dark matter/energy we cannot detect. We know it must be there because the state of the universe we perceive means it must be there. But what if dark matter was simply the 'energy loss' of a system (universe) that is running down, thus causing matter to decelerate from c. Dark matter wouldn't really exist, which is why we can't detect it - But is actually the difference between the total energy of the universe if everything was at c (at the big-bang event), and what the universe actually is as we see it now with some matter slowed down.
Consider the models of the universe that have 21 dimensions. All but 3 supposedly curled up into an infinitely small space. A major brain-fuck. But we could explain this, if all the distances are actually 0 for every dimension, and we only perceive time and distance because in our 4 dimesions, there is matter travelling slower than c, while in all the other dimensions, everything travels at c, thus there is no space or time in the other dimensions.
Consider, IIRC no-one knows the mechanics of the propogation of EMR. But we could explain this if there is no actual movement of EMR in space, but we only perceived it as such because we are composed of stuff travelling slower than c.
So in a nutshell, the size of the universe is actually 0, it was created and 'expires' in 0 time, but size and time seems real to 'us' because we are slowing down from c.
PS. I've been drinking, it's past my bedtime, and I havn't read a science book for about 4 years - Thats my excuse anyway.
