I Some ideas I would like to share

[NFT]

Hi,I am new here and a little intimidated.

There are people here who know alot more about this subject than myself, but that's why I came here!

 

So please read my ideas carefully and please don't laugh at me if you disagree, they are just ideas for now and I hope at least one of them could be tested somehow.

 

Right, here goes...

 

As I understand it (correct me if I am wrong) when a wave is observed by us, it becomes a particle, but in so doing 'splits' the universe into many places or rather parallel universes, where each and every outcome occurred simultaneously, though for whatever reason, our mind is also split and observes only the one we are in.

 

But my idea is that instead of splitting the universe into other places with these observations, what if we are not actually observing space splitting, but instead the time(s) in which the particle(s) exist.

 

Afterall, I believe there is nothing to suggest that time cannot flow backwards or that particles can't go back through time either! So lets imagine for awhile that this 'time flux' can occur. If so then the EXACT same particle could exist in multiple places at once within the SAME universe (no parallel universes required!). Just as the delorean time machine in a certain movie, occasionally existed in more than one place within the same universe.

 

What if then, the universe began with ONE SINGLE PARTICLE which was replicated over and over again by this same 'time flux' each particle could be the same one! But some 'older' than others as they would have taken more 'back trips' than others.

 

The first particle would most certainly been matter rather than an antimatter particle, which would hopefully explain why there is far more matter than antimatter, which in theory should have been created in equal amounts and destroyed itself completely in the Big Bang.

 

One more idea I have is that the particles gained many different properties in the following way...

 

If during the accelerating expansion of the early universe one of the particles was made to accelerate very quickly, according to relativity it's mass should increase and time around it should speed up relative to the particle, thus appearing to hit an upper speed limit to the other particles around it. And this would mean that particles such as photons, which perhaps always traveled at a set speed from the start, and other particles of a lower acceleration, would therefore overtake the 'massive' particles.

 

From last paragraph you could also speculate that if time flows slower inside massive particles, it should be harder to move them, perhaps creating the resistance of movement we call inertia.

 

So then, each particle having different properties could perhaps be seen as a sort of illusion!

 

 

Hope you enjoyed reading this!

What do you think?

The 'many worlds' interpretation of quantum mechanics is just one of many interpretations designed to make sense of the paradigm shifting, probabilistic nature of reality. Nobody is actually suggesting that a new universe is created whenever a wavefunction collapses. Are you suggesting another interpretation ?

I have read about a similar idea for a 'single' photon, but don't see how it could work with other particles.

Your suggestion that particles were 'accelerated' by universal expansion to account for particle species is not useful or accurate, as there was no acceleration away from a central point ( as in an explosion ), rather separation increased. That is why the expansion looks the same from every point in the universe.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I might suggest that the void in which everything exists is also created by the same 'time flux' meaning whatever it is made of (as we do know it is not nothing at all) is also replicating the space between everything.

 

And perhaps because the acceleration is still continuing, the flux still effects the 'void' still for whatever reason.

You are suggesting a lot of effects, but not the mechanism to enable them.

I don't see how this time 'flux' could create particles or allow for universal expansion.

Sorry about that. It is hard to explain what I mean by 'time flux' replicating particles.

Imagine this: if you had a machine to send yourself back to yesterday there would be 2 of you in the same time (I know this could create a paradox, but lets imagine for a moment that for whatever reason, particles without minds of their own don't or can't change the fate of their earlier selves). Now lets imagine we keep pulling off this same trick, again and again until there are a large number of you in the same moment.

So imagine instead this happens to particles, that they can go back in time without changing their fate, what you would see is alot of 'something from nothing' when technicaly this is not true. And therefore 'future' particles always existed side by side with their 'past' ones. this may have been the process that made everything we see including what we currently call 'space time'.

A bit like this, maybe?

Yes perhaps, though I can't help but think that all particles including the electron started out with the same properties, (which I probably didn't explain too well). Including the energies/particles of spacetime itself, perhaps driving the expansion.

 

But yes, nice find! That gives me more to think about now. Perhaps there could be something in it.
