Hello, I posted a topic a while back positing 'Dark Energy and Matter' are unecessary concepts that are readily explained by plain old gravity.

[metacogitans]

If the math is actually approached right that is.

 

That post was titled something like "Observed Accelerated Expansion the Result of Gravitational Entropy with Superclusters"; this fantastic topic of mine was removed by a moderator for having dared share an idea I had come up with myself.

Well, I just found a physics article from 2006 where some physicsists it turns were saying the exact same thing (link here: http://phys.org/news77190620.html).

 

Therefore, the concept can no longer be considered to be a wild and reckless idea of my own, as others proposed it first - rendering the reason for the thread's deletion as invalid (in case you are wondering, yes, that was literally the reason for the threads deletion, posting new hypotheses of your own is not allowed, and it was deleted before it had any replies).

 

In light of this, I will now repost my topic uhindered so that the concept may be discussed intelligibly by other members of the forum. Or, I will also accept simply undeleting my original topic and deleting this one.

 

Thanks in advance for not impulsively deleting my posts in the future for having newly encountered concepts to you in them, however foreign and complex those concepts may be for you.

Hypothesis: The Observed 'Accelerating Expansion' of the Universe is Actually the Gravitational Entropy in the Developing Shape of Superclusters

 

Assuming that galaxies were more or less evenly dispersed after the early aggressive expansion of the universe following the 'big bang', small variations in their dispersion eventually caused galaxies to begin gravitating towards each other, starting the formation of superclusters.

Vacuoles in space between super-clusters where galaxies are absent kept growing. As the spaces between superclusters become larger, the escape velocity required for a galaxy to leave a supercluster and cross the vacuole to a neighboring supercluster becomes greater and greater until its impossible.

We can deduce how the shape of the universe would continue changing next simply by following General Relativity: the lessening gravitational influence between superclusters across the vacuoles between them would cause the vacuoles to accelerate in their growth; the galaxies in superclusters would begin to gravitate into larger galactic rivers, and superclusters would start becoming less branched out in shape. This likely would be the point in the process that our universe is currently at if correct.

As the branches of superclusters continue to merge into central rivers with a uniform momentum, they become less restricted by other sources of gravity besides their own, allowing the superclusters' galactic rivers to flow deeper out into space. Due to the uniform momentum of the rivers in the superclusters, vacuoles between superclusters accelerate exponentially in growth, causing the overall shape of the universe to expand.

The shape of the universe changing in the described way fits with all recorded observations consistently, without anything left out still needing an explanation.

The observed "expansion" of the universe is then simply a result of entropy in its shape due to gravity - without inventing or assuming the existence of new concepts like "dark energy" to explain-away things that aren't understood.

That's not all though; we can keep going in our explanation and roughly predict how the shape of the universe would continue to change from gravitational entropy. The galactic rivers of superclusters that are farthest out, would flow out deeper into empty space, and although the shape of the universe would still be generally expanding, the galactic rivers of the superclusters wouldn't keep going off out into empty space but would arch back in towards the rest of the universe due to gravity -- this restriction for any object to permanently maintain a trajectory away from the rest of the universe's contents out into empty space is simply a mathematical limitation involved with the physics: no matter how great the velocity of the object might be, the velocity is only constant, while gravity's influence exhibited on the object, no matter how weak it may be, accelerates. Thus, even with incredible velocity, the velocity can only decrease, eventually causing the object to gravitate back towards the rest of the universe. Even though the nearest massive object may be light years away, the distance of gravitational pull's influence is infinite with dwindling intensity - and since an object subject to gravity is accelerating, there is no such thing as a true escape velocity. Because of this, the farthest out superclusters will curve in their trajectory back towards the rest of the universe. This also implies that, regarding the changing shape of the universe, the accelerating expansion of the universe is only temporary and will eventually start to slow down.

With the trajectory of far out superclusters being curved, the universe will eventually start to develop a spin/rotation, with the rivers of galactic superclusters flowing spherically around the universe in a prevailing direction. The superclusters in the inner region of the universe will all eventually join the outer sphere of superclusters, and the shape of the universe will resemble an interweaving web of supercluster rivers forming a hollow rotating sphere. During this stage, expansion of the universe's contents will peak off -- the due to the inner region of the universe becoming vacant, the effect of gravity will be lessened in the direction of the approximate center of the universe, resulting in profound expansion. With distances from galaxy to galaxy and supercluster to supercluster at their greatest, the gravitational influence of galaxies and superclusters on each other is at its minimal. Superclusters's galactic rivers start slowing down. The stage of the universe at this point is a plateau of mildness with not much going on. Eventually, however, the calmness starts to come to an end; due to the rotation of the universe, superclusters near the center on both sides of the hollow sphere which weren't experiencing much rotation began to gravitate out to other parts, flattening the shape of the universe slightly. With the added mass from those superclusters, gravity starts pulling together superclusters and merging them together -- the universe now consists of giant rings of superclusters that have merged together; the mass of these superclusters is not evenly distributed, causing the rings to start to twist and fluctuate - the twisting causes sections of the supercluster rings to stall in their rotation; the resulting offset distribution of mass and momentum causes sections of the rings of superclusters to build up an enormous amount of mass, which is then followed by sides of other nearby rings getting pulled in by the immense gravity and crashing into it. A high number of super-massive black holes are formed, which start to merge together and begin assimilating entire galaxies - eventually they are so massive that they are able to pull in super-clusters and start sucking up the contents of the entire universe and end up triggering another big bang, starting the universe anew.

 

The second part of this post giving some ideas for predictions on the future shape of the universe are simply speculation; I do not have the equipment or a computer with the computational capacity required to make any accurate prediction on how the universe's shape will continue to change as a result of gravity, but the predictions I proposed should still serve to give a rough outline of what gravity could change our universe's shape into in the distant future.

I can entertain the idea that analytic models of the universe could be incorrect, but how do you explain the simulations that require the majority of the universe to be dark matter for a structure representing our universe to form? Surely, if your idea is right, we would see the structure without the need for added dark matter. Are you proposing that they used the incorrect equations for gravity?

Moderator Note

Unless this is not your first account with us, your statement that we have deleted a previous thread of yours on this topic is quite incorrect. I have once closed a thread of yours, though as best as I can tell, it is unrelated to this one.

Furthermore, you were given adequate room in that thread to flesh out your hypotheses. You didn't and it was shut down as a result. The same will happen to this one if you follow the same path.

Do not respond to this note within the thread.

Edit. I went and reread your previously closed thread to check I hadn't missed something and I now retract my comment that the two are unrelated. You were not permitted to reopen the topic of conversation and as such, this thread is closed.

I had an interesting five minutes (with the Tour de Yorkshire on in the background - fabulous) looking in the deleted threads and could not see any deleted content that matched.
