07/10/2008: "Big Bang/Big Bust"
After reading more about gravity on the 'net, my initial reaction was one of disappointment. My explanation of how gravitons work doesn't fit observations made about gravity. But as I thought about it, I cheered up. Gravity is too complicated to be described totally in terms of the hypothetical gravitons I have envisioned.
So for now, I'm still holding on to my theory, and I thought of a visualization that would make it clearer. Imagine that at the time of "our" big bang, there was another universe consisting of a ring of a nearly infinite number of particles far distant from our universe. As our universe expands, this "ring" universe contracts in the exact rhythm of our expansion. As the ring contracts, particles must pop out of existence to maintain the shape of the ring. Eventually, our ever more quickly expanding universe will slam into the ever more contracting ring universe, which by now consists of only one ring. At this time, our universe shatters into a near infinitude of micro universes which fuse with this ring. Of course, this visualization isn't totally accurate: the "ring" actually exists neither inside nor outside our universe, since it's spacial dimension(s) are negative.
Gravitons exist of three main components. There is the negative mass component, which is responsible for virtual particles. There is the negative energy component which is responsible for dark energy. And there is the negative time/space component, which is responsible for the hypothetical graviton that everybody is so anxious to find evidence of.
In my model, the expansion of our space is caused neither by dark energy nor by an undiscovered particle called the
S=1/T
where S is space and T is time. Likely there is some constant that needs to be added to this equation. The state of our universe started with T being a very large value and the end will come when T reaches 0 with the shattering of our universe.
Maybe a good name for this model is the Big Bang/Big Bust.
