Introduction

I’m taking the time now to try to put down some of the ideas I have been thinking about for some time into some sort of order. The reality is that these ideas might, or to be more accurate, probably won’t amount to anything but, in the happy event that they do mean something I want to have some sort of record.

The following is a Manifesto of sorts. It describes my personal beliefs and gut feelings about the way the universe works. I must also say that as far as mathematics and the deeper intricacies of physics go, I’m a bit lacking. I love both but just haven’t had the education in either. I try to pick up what I can here and there but, although I would like to, I don’t have the time required to learn what I need. Maybe the years to come will offer me more. Because of this, I work with analogies which give a vague idea of the concepts without providing mathematical proofs. Where I can I’ll try to identify elements that I feel need to be included or might be connected from my fairly basic understanding. When it comes down to it though, I don’t pretend I have the slightest idea of what I’m talking about. This is all a bit of fun. A geeky game of fantasy. At the absolute worst, they may be some interesting sci-fi concepts. At best they might trigger an idea in the mind of someone who does have a clue. This is what I think reality is.

I originally started thinking about this stuff inspired by a dream. I had been trying to teach myself chemistry at the time and was just starting to get a grip on it. After the dream I started reading about cosmology which lead me onto theoretical physics. Because I had no mathematics background I started with Cosmos by Carl Sagan and got some other books that were expressed in lay term. I think Dancing Wu Li Masters was my greatest inspiration. It described all sorts of amazing things it terms I could sort of understand. One of the things that came up was an experiment, the results of which were described as ’spooky action at a distance’. From memory, the experiment basically resulted in two remote particles reacting instantaneously with each other. I finished the book and started to think about the different things that had come up. One of the first things I thought about was this spooky action. Another thing that had come up was anther experiment where a particle seemed to split into two identical particles. Something coming from nothing. My first conclusion, from these two experiments was that perhaps they were the same particle and that some force for an instant had made it appear in two places at once.

As time went on I started to learn bit by bit, more about the current ideas about particle wave duality and other elements of physics. My ignorance was matched by my enthusiasm if not by my ability to fully understand what all these things meant.

Just yesterday I started reading a book called Genius. It is a biography of Richard Feynman’s life and discoveries. I was all fairly standard stuff until, about 100 or so pages in I read something that nearly made me fall off of my chair. Some of the stuff I had come up with had already been considered by Feynman himself. Some was different but other bits were so similar it was, well…spooky. I had been searching for anything similar to my ideas for what was coming up to years. This was almost the same amount of time that I had had the book in my house. I have a two year old son and with work and him I had not had the time to read it thinking it was a pure life biography. It talked about things that he had considered but discarded so there was possibly no way that I would have ever found it had I not read this particular book. The weird thing is that I had just started to add some changes to my concepts that seemed to tighten them further but had some, well lots of gaps to fill. I think I now might be able to move things forward. I’m going to try to hunt down what I can and get some physics geeks through a friend to apply what seem to be some novel additions to the equations.

Here’s the story so far.
