The new astronomy is based on gravitational waves, rather than lights and telescopes, and it enables scientists to observe events in our universe that otherwise would be forever buried in darkness.

Bohr said that our physics only model our observations and may not represent true reality. If Hoffman is correct then we don’t perceive reality as it is anyway and we are on the wrong track. This is just an environment for conscious agents to live in and grow. Maybe

Could the light photon be the carrier of the gravitational force? Both electromagnetic fields and gravitational fields share the inverse square law, pointing towards one three dimensional process.

Atoms, galaxies, stars and planets form a holographic fractal link, and these groups of realities extend from the "micro universe, which would be the "nothing" in our limited conscious perspective, to what we perceive as the " universal macrocosm. Science will gradually understand that not only does every galaxy contain a black hole at its center, but also every star and planet, and even the center of every atom, which is the origin of all observable matter reality, has relative black holes to its mass. Deep within the core of every atom exists what could be defined as the "fractal holographic projector" of all observable physical reality. The holographic fractal of the atom is also the beginning and event horizon of this "projection" and is the beginning of the fractal holography of all reality. Taverian theory of the holographic fractal universe.

I do hope that physicists do start looking at quantum mechanics and cosmology in a new open-minded way. I have been working on an hypothesis for a radical new alternative to the standard model of the atom. Consider, the atom not composed as it is described in the standard model, but with the whole of the area between the nucleus and the outer boudary of the atom being filled with incredibly tiny negatively charged monopole particles, ' Harveytrons ', forming a cloud, which fills every available empty space throughout the universe. This is what I propose is ' Dark Matter '. The negative force of repulsion it produces is 'Dark Energy '. It is a componant of gravity, and is what is causing the expansion of the universe This is the cornerstone of a very radical hypothesis that I am working on. The atom composed in this way, gives the possibility of a massive volume of material within the atom for the computing function to use. The standard model of the atom is fundamentally flawed, for the following reasons amongst others, a). How is it possible for a single electron as in the case of the hydrogen atom, to form an ' Electron Cloud ', that fills the whole area between the nucleus and the outer boundary of the atom, at every moment in time, when this area is over 100,000, 000 times that of the electron? b). If the electron does act as desribed in the standard model, by whizzing around the nucleus, changing trajectory many thousands of timmes a second, where does it get its energy from to initiate and maintain its momentum? c). Following on from b). this momentum and changing trajectory, would require energy to be expended, and thus dissipating heat. Therefore every atom and thus all matter would be emitting heat, which plainly it is not? d). How is it possible for the electron to have the same charge holdig capacity as the proton, which is around 2,000 times its size. It would be like a tiny watch battery having the same charge holding capacity as a very large tractor battery? I propose that the electron as we know it, is not in fact a fundamental solid particle, but a cluster of the particles I describe above. I can explain more if you are interested. Kind regards, Tony Marsh.

So... Why does your cluster electron always have the same energy? Shouldn't it just randomly vary ... dependent on the number of particles making it up?

@@JimConnelley Thank you for your reply. A vallid point you make, so I will try to explain my thinking. Although I do not agree with the standard model of the electron, I agree that energy in one form or another passes from atom to atom in the form of a pulse. In the case of visible light this is as described as the photon in the standard model, as has been observed by the fact that electromagnetic radiation is conveyed in pulses ( quanta ). I hypothesize that the quantity of charge an atom can hold has a threshold limit, that when reached, a pulse of this charge is emitted. This is analogous to an electronic circuit consisting of a power source, an SCR, a capacitor, and a load. When power is applied to the circuit, the capacitor starts to charge, and builds until the thresholt triger voltage of the SCR is reached, when the SCR fires and the capacitor discharges to the load in a pulse. Since in my hypothesis the charge allocated to the electron as described in the standard model is distributed throughout the whole area of the atom between the nucleus and the outer boundary, the quantity of charge that is released will be the proportion of this overall charge that corresponds to the number of ' Harveytrons ' that would fill the volume of mass of the photon or pulse of energy released. The problem with quantum physics, and my hypothesis, is there are no quantative measurements to base definative desciptions on, so therefore both my hypothesis and the standard model are just conjecture. However, my hypothesis can explain with logic, the four questions that I posed in my comment, ' Dark Matter ' Dar Energy ', how electromagnetic radiation and gravity waves can travel through space, why the speed of light is what it is and is the maximum speed that anything can travel through the universe, gravity and more. I am happy to answers any more questions. Are you able to answer my four questions? I would really like to hear other people's view. Kind regards, Tony Marsh.

Thanks for your reply. In a word no. My hypothesis is all my own. After watching a ' Royal Institution ' lecture by ' Jim Al-khalili ' on quantum mechanics, I imediately saw inconsistencies in the standard model of the atom, this led me to look into the matter further. If you look at the four questions that I posed in my comment, you will see how right at the fundamental level of the atom, there are thing that do not make sense, it is not surprising that problems existing at the present time can't be answered.

The are a lot of proponents of membrane cosmology looking at this as the points of contact between Parallel Universes. It would explain the detection of dark matter by being something considered undetectable by the laws of our own universe.

mass... is a photon of wavelength 2π Planck length caught over it's own gravity (with a nudge from a neutrino). or classically....m=E/c^2. Mass is energy in orbit at c over a Planck giving angular momentum c^2. orbiting in all directions simultaneously giving inertia. a photon is the entire probability sphere. the shrinkage of an electron orbital causes an implosion and accompanying spherical propagating shock wave. a photon. the size of nucleus determines binding force so the space rushes in faster for large nucleus hence high frequency. the photon is the whole sphere. a singular object so affecting one point affects whole. a connected expanding sphere. what we think of as wavelength is the membrane thickness. when it encounters resonant chamber it is absorbed. if not it continues. neutron decay cosmology is inevitable. geometry requires.

yes that's what is "waving", Yes in theory such a thing *may* well be happening with black holes as their event horizons collide causing the ripples in space time that we can detect. But we are talking about massive amounts of gravitational energy far beyond the reach of humanity.
