    So what you're saying is that String Theory has some loose ends...

    Just a small comment. The existence of a tachyon in a quantum theory isn't necessarily problematic. It just signals that you're trying to do perturbation theory around the wrong vacuum. This issue arises e.g. in the Higgs mechanism.

    If spacetime is implemented by axion like particles, then it should be possible for the Planck plasms breaching the event horizon at the poles of SMBH to push those axions out of the way (or heat them to Planck plasma level) and the jet should then be able to go superluminal. This would explain all those strange jet readings that look superluminal and are explained away as small observing angles (yeah right).

    There are 10-99th loops. Looks sorta like Morae' patterns in higher dimensions. The waves are harmonic all the way down to here now. Good luck with that.

    What if gravity is the tachyeon? I mean, nothing can travel through space faster than light, but in General relativity gravity is the curvature of spacetime, and since space can expand faster than light, maybe gravity can also. Take the event horizon of a black hole, gravity pulls so hard light can't escape, but what about further past it, closer to the singularity?

    Tachyons exists like black holes do. They are so amazing that must exists like black holes. The problem is that we will probably never be able to probe it, unless black holes that are everywhere and easy to detect.

    That thumbnail looks pretty accurate to me. Just remember that when you spin something around its making gravity happen in it's relativistic time template. The momentum is carried by the torsion on the gyrodesic direction of thrust on Euler manifolds. Simple.

    By definition, does not everything stop at absolute zero? I am sure that at even a single femtokelvin, something will vibrate, but it does this mean true absolute zero is impossible?

    Why don't you try explaining spacetime with a virtual point that expands at the speed of light and have an available EM bandwidth that can become excited. These virtual points, call them Planck units, have units of energy-time. Their surface area A = 4pi(ct)^2 overlap with other Planck units to create "the present". The enclosed volume is "the past". Multiple Planck units, at big bang energies, can overlap to create standard model particles. Try doing it that way!

    Hopefully you can address my comments on the speed of Light.
    There is no argument about the speed that fluctuates between psychical mediums, But for example, we assume that the speed of light near Alpha Centauri is the same as the speed of light here on Earth. what I'm saying is we just assuming it, we don't know about that right, do we?
    The facts are that we cannot know what is going on everywhere in the universe, so we cannot determine that the speed of light (electromagnetic wave speed) is constant!
    We can assume different possibilities, (just like we assuming that it is constant), what if light is emitted from someplace near us.
    maybe it emitted from the center of the earth.
    and maybe is emitted from life. maybe there is million more possibility?
    maybe after you laugh for a few seconds you will maybe realize that this is not a completely unbelievable idea as it can dismiss some paradoxes in Quantum Physics.
    Thank You
    Love and Light

    Is it possible that the reason that String Theory is not complete, is because science is looking at it in the wrong way? Science is trying to squeeze this theory out of the quantum equations. Not to squeeze from, but to add to. Since math and equations are all descriptions of the interactions and movements, there could be something outside these mathematical descriptions that needs to be added. Something outside what has been observed. Not dark energy, nor dark matter as these are all indirectly observed from the interactions of our observation of "matter".

      Your nope is such a scientific, unbiased answer.

    • @stridedeck
      @stridedeck 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Maya These journals are peer reviewed and are mostly correct science. What is missing are the interpretations of these mathematical recipes that are accurate to 14 decimal places. It has been over 100 years with the same confusion to what this all means, even with more accurate experiments that were once just thought experiments. There is still no intuition to what is going on. Science is now frustrated and because it is at a loose end is forced to focus on this by bringing this to the public awareness for another way to approach this.

    • @stridedeck
      @stridedeck 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Maya This is where the foundation of physics plays a pivotal role! There are two leading interpretations: pilot-wave which is a deterministic reality; and the objective quantum collapse which is a nondeterministic reality. Both are using the same equations and yet, each has a different pathway and outcome. No mathemtical technique will solve this. Don't forget that quantum mechanics is not sharp, as it is smeared with probabilities, and general relativity of gravity has defined mass in one location and is sharp to exact time and place. What is missing is not some refined mathematical tool of technique, but something that is outside all these wonderful and accurate equations that has yet to be discovered and thought of.

    • @stridedeck
      @stridedeck 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Maya Science still does not understand QFT, which is merely a mathematical equations using vectors. Math is simply a description that science uses to support their assumptions of their understanding. Not an objective foundation of physics. What do you think String Theory is doing? String theory is forcing apples to equal oranges by inserting an "outside" concept called "graviton" and getting 11 dimensions. Solving this gravity dilemma comes out of understanding which then leads to the true solution.

    • @stridedeck
      @stridedeck 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Maya Exactly, a description with no understanding of what is the mechanism for such characteristics. Which is quite interesting as this then points to a fundamental missing link that is outside both the equations with their mathematical techniques, and our current understandings which are probably based on some assumptions that are in error and also pointing us into the wrong direction.
      Don't forget it was Einstein's insights from thought experiments that led him to redo some assumptions into which lead him down to a more correct pathway in which mathematics and physics subsequently followed.
