Emm Posted Friday at 06:02 AM Posted Friday at 06:02 AM By M. What Happens If We Stir the Universe? Prelude This simple thought experiment has led me over several years to explore numerous theoretical frameworks for the nature of reality. None was satisfactory alone, although elements of many have been inspirational, so I decided to make my own. In this new theory, standing on the shoulders of giants, I synthesise concepts I have learned and refined from sources such as Superfluid Vacuum Theory, String Theory, Pilot Wave Theory, fractal geometry, polyhedral geometry, art, music, poetry and potwashing. Abstract The universe is a superfluid, with particles as vortices swirling within it. And so are vortices themselves. In this paper, I outline a simple, intuitive, staggeringly beautiful new fractal framework that models the universe as a superfluid medium, with particles as quantized vortices and forces as emergent phenomena. I propose that the dynamics of vortices, subvortices, and their holographic encoding can explain the structure of matter and its interaction, the nature of dark matter, and the fabric of spacetime itself. Finally, I offer naturally emerging explanations for the origin of our observable universe, its early rapid expansion, and for the preponderance of matter versus antimatter. 1. Introduction The idea that the universe could be a superfluid is not new, but recent advances in quantum mechanics, fluid dynamics, cosmology and other fields have brought it further refinement. In this paper, I expand it to a comprehensive theory of everything, focusing on the following key concepts: Superfluid Vacuum Theory: The vacuum of spacetime is a dynamic, quantum medium with superfluid properties. Vortex-Particle Duality: Particles are quantized vortices in this superfluid medium. Vorticles, or Compound Vortices: The surfaces of vortices are a lower dimensional superfluid medium, allowing for subvortices. Subvortices and Emergent Properties: Subvortices on the surfaces of vortices give rise to the emergent properties of particles and matter. Photons and Electromagnetism Holographic Encoding: Information about impacting particles and their properties is encoded on the surfaces of vortices. Dark Matter as "Quiet" Vortices: Dark matter is partially composed of vortices that lack the subvortices which define our flavour of matter, making them difficult to detect. Cosmic Implications: Our observable universe is itself a compound vortex in a higher-dimensional superfluid, with profound implications for the nature of reality. 2. Superfluid Vacuum Theory The superfluid vacuum theory posits that the vacuum of spacetime is not empty but a dynamic, quantum medium with superfluid properties. This medium supports the formation of quantized vortices, which can be thought of as the fundamental building blocks of particles. In this framework, the properties of particles (e.g., mass, charge, spin) arise from the dynamics of these vortices, and the forces between particles emerge from the interactions of the vortices within the superfluid medium. 3. Vortex-Particle Duality Particles such as protons, neutrons, and electrons can be modeled as quantized vortices in the superfluid vacuum. These vortices have quantized circulation, meaning their properties are discrete and well-defined. The vortex-particle duality suggests that the behavior of particles can be understood in terms of the dynamics of vortices, including their interactions, stability, and energy levels. 4. Vorticles, and the Vortex Membrane as a Wave Medium The surface of a vortex, or vortex membrane, acts as a lower dimensional superfluid wave medium that can support persistent waves. These waves are analogous to phonons in a superfluid and could play a role in the emergent properties of particles. It also supports vortices of its own, or subvortices, leading to the formation of compound vortices, which I propose we call vorticles. 5. Subvortices and Their Role Subvortices are smaller vortices that form on the surface of a larger vortex. These subvortices can influence the dynamics of the host vortex and give rise, through their interactions, to emergent properties such as mass, charge, and spin. The arrangement of subvortices on the surface of a vortex could explain phenomena like nuclear shells and magic numbers, with subvortices tending to concentrate near the poles of the host vortex due to energy minimization. 6.1 Photons and electromagnetism Photons are made of two intertwined helical vortices, a double helix. Their shape makes them spin through space at the speed of sound in the medium. From the front it looks like a sigil. As they spin they twist the base membrane, causing torsional distortion waves. This creates the electromagnetic effect. 6.2 Holographic Encoding of Vortex-Particles When a vortex impacts and is absorbed by a larger one, it can transform into a subvortex, shedding a dimension in the process. When a vorticle impacts a larger vortex, it also leaves a holographic copy of itself on the surface of the host vortex. This holographic encoding preserves elements of the structure and properties of the impacting vortex, including its subvortices. This process could explain how particles interact and exchange information, with the holographic encoding serving as a record of their interactions. 7. Photon Impact and Subvortex Ejection as an Example A photon impact on a vorticle creates a shock wave that propagates through the superfluid medium. This shock wave reconvenes at the location of a subvortex, imparting enough energy to eject the subvortex in a “droplet” as a separate 3d vortex. For example, a photon impacting a neutron (modeled as a proton vortex with an electron subvortex) could eject the electron, leaving behind a proton. This process is analogous to beta decay and provides a vivid illustration of the vortex-particle paradigm. Fleeting particles such as quarks and leptons could be vorticles which are stable in 2d, but unstable in 3d and quickly disintegrate upon ejection. 8. Nuclear Structure and Magic Numbers The structure of the nucleus could be understood in terms of the geometric distribution of subvortices on the surface of a larger vortex. The magic numbers in nuclear physics could correspond to the number of subvortices that can be arranged symmetrically on the surface of the nucleus, forming stable configurations. Subvortices may gravitate toward the poles of their host vortex due to energy minimization, leading to the formation of highly symmetric, low-energy structures. 9. Emergent Properties and Dark Matter The emergent properties of particles (e.g., mass, charge, spin) arise from the dynamics of subvortices on the surface of a vortex. These subvortices interact with each other, with their host vortex, and with other external vorticles. Dark matter is partially composed of "quiet" vorticles that lack or have few subvortices, making them difficult to detect except through their gravitational effects. The rest is made of vorticles which interact with their own flavour of vorticles in complex ways we have yet to discover. These vortices would interact weakly with ordinary matter, explaining the elusive nature of dark matter. 10. Cosmic Implications: Our Universe as a Vorticle If the universe is a superfluid, it follows that it also is a vorticle in a higher dimensional superfluid. This would imply a fractal and symmetric structure to reality, with vortices nested within vortices at every scale. The interaction of our universe with a higher-dimensional vortex could cause it to gain or lose dimensions, fundamentally altering the laws of physics. This idea aligns with concepts from string theory and holography, suggesting that the structure of the universe is deeply interconnected with higher-dimensional dynamics. The origin of our observable universe therefore occurred when it was ejected from its host vortex. In this process it gained a dimension, causing the rapid early expansion of the universe as it inflated, or the Big Pop. In its former lower dimensional state, our universe could only maintain a population of vortices of one chirality, which survived its expansion. This explains the preponderance of matter versus antimatter in our universe. 11. Conclusion The revelatory concept of vortices on vortices on vortices opens the door to a remarkably simple, yet beautifully complex new way to view and explain the universe. I am no mathematician, so I now pass my ideas on for the development of a rigorous mathematical framework. My intuition, very much the author of this paper, tells me to expect the resulting equations to be quite elegant. I began by posing the question “What happens if we stir the universe?” The answer? Quite simply, everything.
Emm Posted Friday at 01:26 PM Author Posted Friday at 01:26 PM I'm so sorry. I used the wrong language. Being a muppet has its pros and cons! Don't worry. It's a completely outdated theory! Look out for the deleted app, it'll be out soon. Grow your hair. And watch the skies! Peace and love M&D
