Explaining Quantum Weirdness and Quantum Gravity: Small-scale To-and Fro Transfers of Space Units or Clusters?

            So far, the addition of space has been associated with the Hubble expansion and “dark energy,” and the deletion of space with gravity. But those are just predominant directions of the transfer of space under different conditions. On the Planck or smallest scale, movement of “volons” of space is likely to be in both directions, with one direction predominating but not exclusive. Just as chemical reactions proceed in both directions, with one direction usually predominating but equilibrium also possible, so should we expect the movement of “volons” to likewise be reversible on a small scale.

            If a single “volon” of space were to move from our dimensions to the others, and either the same or a separate “volon” were transferred back, the replacement “volon” should not be expected to be restored to exactly the same location. Estimation of where the new unit would go should follow a probability distribution. Energy levels and electromagnetic effects should help maintain distances between units of matter (i.e., waves/particles), so transfers would generally tend to be in between such units rather than inside them. That could affect the probability of where the waves/particles begin and end, or their momentum. This phenomenon might be involved in the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

            If “volons” could also be transferred in clusters, a wave form corresponding to a particle such as an electron could move among locations and dimensions. For example, it might move from one location in our dimensions to a location in the alternate dimensions, then back to a separate location in our dimensions. Meanwhile, there might sometimes be an alternation of a property such as electrical charge. If the process of detection were to collapse the wave function in a particular location, only one version of the property and no further transfers would be detected. That would resemble quantum entanglement. In such ways, the “Nothing but Space” model could possibly help make some of the strange features of quantum theory (Norton 2017) less mysterious. The exchanges of “volons,” could also be considered as roughly analogous to the postulated exchange of force bosons in the “standard model.”

Quantum Field Theories

            In this article, the term “field” was defined in Section IV under the topic “Space Deletion as the Cause of Gravity.” A more complex concept is a quantum field theory or QFT. Some physicists consider this as a negation of “fundamental particles,” and that the fields totally replace them (Hobson 2013), while to others QFT is essential to particle physics and a way to calculate particle interactions (Wolchover 2020, November).

          There are many different QFTs including quantum electrodynamics, which unifies electromagnetism with the weak nuclear force, and quantum chromodynamics, the theory explaining the strong nuclear force by means of gluons (Elert 2021; Paschos 2027). The “Nothing but Space” model might help to simplify QFTs by providing space as the medium for fields and processes in space, to account for the phenomena in question.

WELCOME TO THIS BLOG, WHERE YOU WILL FIND EXCITING NEW IDEAS ABOUT THE UNIVERSE AND WHAT EXISTS. HOW DID YOU GET HERE?

  Thank for coming to visit this blog. In 15 of the posts that follow (abstract, 13 sections, and references), you will find an original and alternative model to explain space, time, gravity, matter, energy, the expansion of the universe, and everything that exists. If you do not have time to read the entire thing, select any topics that appeal to you.  Unlike most physical science papers, this one is written at a high school or early college level, with as little jargon as possible and with a minimum of complicated equations. So give it a try! I hope to stimulate a dialog that ultimately will influence the sciences of physics and astronomy. But in the meantime,  I would like to entertain you and stimulate your thinking.  PLEASE COMMENT !   I am very interested in how you landed here. My Web domain, which points here, is "unorthodocs.org. ." The actual Web address of the first page is "nothingbutspacemodel.blogger.com." And the name of the blog itself is "C...

Section I: The Need for a New Model, from "Is Space the Only Substance in the Universe|?"

I.       INTRODUCTION Limitations of Standard Physics Theories This is a time for new and more flexible thinking about the nature of the universe. Physics and cosmology (the latter considered over time as part of physics, astronomy, metaphysics, or philosophy), rather than having resolved all the major problems in understanding the universe and its origins, face many unresolved mysteries. There are still no consensus theories for a number of critical issues, including the following among others: · A “grand unified theory” joining gravitation and the strong nuclear force with the electroweak force (Krauss 2017). · A complete and generally accepted theory unifying general relativity (which is not quantized) with quantum theory (Sanchez 2019). · A verified explanation for "dark energy" and the expansion of the “observable universe” (Panek 2010).   · A verified explanation for "dark matter" (Fore 2020). · Causes and actual explanations for many of the ...

Abstract: From "Is Space the Only Substance in the Universe?"

Is Space the Only Substance in the Universe? The “Nothing but Space” Model: A Simpler New Theory of Space, Time,  Gravity, Dark Energy, and More   This paper is presented in sections, in this and the next 14 posts.  I welcome your input and discussion. Ronald P. Hattis Associate Clinical Professor Loma Linda University July 27, 2023 ABSTRACT A new model of the universe, extrapolating from established science and historical precedents, including the substantivalist views of DesCartes, Newton, and others, resolves some mysteries of physics. In the “Nothing but Space” model, space is the fundamental substance of the universe. It is quantized, and the medium of gravitational and electromagnetic fields. Waves, additions and deletions, and other processes in space produce the properties attributed to matter and energy. Time is a function of motion, and spacetime an unnecessary concept.  Underlying this model, space is known to have physical properties and...
