    I was lucky enough to attend a lecture by PAM Dirac on the large number hypothesis. He was a good speaker, but lived up to his acerbic reputation. I distinctly remember him referring to "that Wyle mathematician," (with the German pronunciation) and it was very clear the _double entendre_ was intentional - he got a laugh from the audience, smiled, and moved on.

The lecture theatre was packed and as a young student interested in physic I was really unable to grasp the intent of the numerology which seemed then to be speculative to the extreme. Thanks to this video I feel I finally understand the intent of these musings. Took a while…

    @neil u They are basically say that there is an ether medium upon which the speed of light is based. This is the same way the speed of sound is an energy wave in air. Dirac basically states that there is an ether medium, AKA a sea of photons. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_sea It was the basic premise of Tesla and Steinmetz, that electrons are condensers of this medium, and condense a quantized amount of these particles, or dielectric out of the ether medium. A radio signal is the condensing and rarefying of the dielectric. In fact when you follow this model, that charged particles are condensers of the ether medium, all of the mainstream paradoxes disappear. It appears that energy is created by momentum of these particles, by condensing and rarefying this medium, like an air conditioner uses a fluid medium to transfer energy by compression and rarefaction of a freon, use particle momentum to transfer energy. In fact Ron Hatch and GPS prove that there is a medium. The speed of light varies with the density of this medium. This is the Lorentz ether gauge theory. www.tuks.nl/pdf/Reference_Material/Ronald_Hatch/Hatch-Relativity_and_GPS-II_1995.pdfwiki.naturalphilosophy.org/index.php?title=Ronald_R_Hatch Hatch has a new version of gravity that is based upon the ether medium density, which dictates the energy level, and the speed of light varies with the flux density, just as redshift, refractive index, clock speed, and back - emf do. www.deere.com/assets/pdfs/navcom/Featured%20Articles/inside_gnss_janfeb08_humaneng_ron_hatch.pdf Here is Hatch on Pound- Rebka. www.naturalphilosophy.org/pdf/abstracts/abstracts_538.pdf Gravity is basically due to the ether medium density condensed within masses, and gravity then is magnetic, or ether medium pressure mediation of the medium condensed within matter. Planck's constant is the only true constant in the Universe.

    While current candidates for QG like string theory and LQG are probably not the solution to the problem, and I do think a theory of everything should ultimately be quantitative, I think there is a very big issue with comparing this kind of "numerology" to what Maxwell found. The difference lies with _intensive_ versus _extensive_ properties of the universe. The properties that Maxwell related are all intensive properties (electric constant, magnetic constant, speed of light/causality) which do not correspond to any particular structure and are thus true "universal" properties of the universe that are likely directly birthed from a theory of everything (or are true free parameters birthed at the creation of the universe). The ratios that are present in this video, however, all incorporate extensive properties like the mass of the proton, radius of the proton, mass of the observable universe, and radius of the observable universe. There are two major issues with this: 1. When you allow yourself to consider extensive properties as fundamental constants, the adjustable degrees of freedom that you can use to arbitrarily make approximate equations dramatically increases. This is especially the case for properties of structures (ie protons and the entire universe) versus fundamental particles which there are relatively few of. Some questions: Why the proton specifically? Why not the neutron? Why use the rms charge radius of the proton and not another definition of its radius (since a proton is actually boundary-less)? Why not the electron? Why not any other particle? Why not some other structure of quarks, like mesons, of which there are hundreds (protons being the most common charged baryon due to them being the most stable should not make them uber-special such that their properties would relate to the ratio of the fundamental forces)? Why the ratio of the electric to the gravitational force, and not the strong or weak forces? The strong force very likely has much more influence on the proton charge radius than gravity does. Why the size/matter of the observable universe, and not the minimum size of the known universe which is at least 500 times larger than the observable one based on large-scale cosmology? This doesn't even touch the issue of using other math constants (like pi or the golden ratio or e or any of the many, many constants) to try and make the equations work as experiments get more accurate. Why pi/2, and not pi/4, or 2*pi, or pi^2, or pi^2/2, or the golden ratio, or 8, or 8*e^2, and so on... It is very easy to get agreement to 6, 8, 10 decimal places when you have so many degrees of freedom that you don't need to have real justification for. 2. The deeper issue is that the extensive properties of structures like protons and the universe likely arise from an extremely complicated mess of different aspects of physics coming together to create an essentially arbitrary extensive property with little direct, simple relation to intensive fundamental constants. The radius (and mass) of the proton, for example, likely arises from a complicated mess of primarily strong interactions. The proton is known to have a mess of quarks and virtual gluons that interact in extremely complicated ways. The probability that the radius (or mass which would also involve the Higgs and other effects) that results from this mess of interactions relates cleanly to other fundamental constants is quite low (even if you ignore the first point about many degrees of freedom). This issue is even greater for something like the size of the observable universe and its matter content. The density of baryon matter in the universe arises from several different physical aspects of the early universe (like the varying expansion rate, the ratio of matter to anti-matter, the stability of certain arrangements of quarks, ect.) coalescing into an effectively arbitrary number for density. If this density were to be predicted from a theory of everything using only fundamental constants, it would likely involve, at a minimum, a dizzying array of integrals and other expensive computations, not some simple "nice" formula in terms of fundamental constants. I have no problem with physicists playing around with constants and equations to see if something interesting comes up. I also don't have a problem with _some_ people trying their best to investigate the supposed leads that this numerology gives. However, to claim that these relations are exact or meaningful, or to claim that this way of trying to develop a theory of quantum gravity is the most likely to succeed, is completely unjustified IMO. TL;DR If your physical relation takes advantage of many degrees of freedom to adjust the numbers, and you don't have a fleshed-out physical justification for your relation, its probably shit.

An example of a quantitative theory would be the prediction of the number that is the fine structure constant, as opposed to a qualitative theory that would merely say that there _is_ a fine structure constant that plays a certain role in the physics.

    I agree with this analysis. Ideally, if one would want a new numerology-based theory like this to be taken seriously, one would state all the possible degrees of freedom that you've allowed yourself, their justifications (if any) and honestly analyze: Given a random theory taken from the space of possible theories you've constructed by your choice of degrees of freedom, how likely would that random theory be your theory?

This also bears the question: will Anti_Neutrinos "feel" only 3/4th_G ? Very hard to meassure, indeed! Of course this 3/4_G_of_antimatter is still made/measured by only one experiment and is still to be taken with a grain of salt!! if a Neutrino collides with its Anti~ , what will happen? can it anihilate completely, or not? What would those two emit: a Gravitaional wave? the only possibility?

    You haven't read Dirac's papers on quantum gravity, from the early 1950s. His "large numbers hypothesis" is now called "The naturalness problem" and it is unsolved. There is no way to more way calculate the fine-structure constant from first principles than there is to work out the number of stars in the milky-way from first principles, they are both determined by historical accident. This is because the fine-structure constant runs with energy, and at high energy, it depends on how exactly gravity and the other forces are separated.

    Machs Principle ist only another interpretation of the fact, that the radius of the universe is equal to the Schwarzschild radius of a black hole with the mass of the universe (R=2MG/c²). Also the density (mass devided by 4/3 pi R³) of a black hole is simply derived from its Schwarzschild radius because itself is proportional to its mass: M=c²R/2G, D=3M/4piR³=3c²/8GMpiR². This leads to the observed number of protons (ca. 2 / m³) in the universe.

    Not quite. There is no experiment that would indicate a finite size of the electron; on the other hand, the phenomenology is dominated by Compton's wavelength lam=h/mc. The proton is very different. It has a well-measurable size (known since Rutherford) of 0.84 fm, and that size coincides with the Compton wavelength. This is a remarkable property and, as I show equivalent to Dirac's hypotheses.

    TLDR: All the hard work done in the past 40 years is wrong because we can't generate the energy needed to test it, but some random coincidences people noticed almost a century ago is promising, even though none of it has been formulated into an actual theory, and would likely be even less testable if it were." ... I mean its fine to get inspiration from coincidences -- lots of (good) science has come from people noticing odd things and pursuing them. But you've got to actually do that "pursuing them" step before coincidences can be considered actually useful. The fact that I have 5 fingers on my hand and a starfish has 5 arms doesn't imply that starfish are in any way related to human hands by itself, even though its a coincidence.

    @@TheMachian Yep there's definitely a lot of crap, but figuring out which is the crap and which is plausible is less certain. We do know one thing though, "testable" can't be our determining factor anymore. The Standard Model and General Relativity both stand up exceedingly well in experiment to the energy levels we can currently reach, and mathematically neither of them break down until we reach much, much higher energies than we're likely to see in any collider in our lifetimes (barring some revolutionary new design that comes completely out of left field.) There are some extensions to the Standard Model that predict things like supersymmetric particles that might potentially be reachable within the next generation or two of colliders, but while that would be plenty exciting in its own right it still doesn't get anywhere close to the energies we'd need to conclusively prove (or disprove) any realistic "theory of everything," (again barring something revolutionary that comes completely out of left field.) The scale difference between the SM and gravity is just too large to reasonably expect testability any time soon. So where does that leave science? Well from what I've seen, the consensus seems to fall on "testable in principle." That's certainly a much, much looser constraint than actual testability but its still better than completely throwing our hands up and allowing any random theory that manages to not put an infinity in a weird place.

    I studied some of Dirac's personal manuscripts and yes, he did think about some very interesting “coincidences", but let us think about it: the radius of the universe is a consequence of the passage of time, related both to its expansion and to the fact that light hasn't had enough time to reach us from a more distanced point. Since the proton's radius seems to be constant, what does this tell us? That dinosaur-Dirac and future-alien-Dirac wouldn't find this to be a remarkable coincidence at all.

From A-topology: Theorem #1: In the class of generally ordered spaces, weakly perfect spaces are one and the only true generalization of perfectness; Theorem #2: The existence of weakly perfect spaces that are not perfect is almost a rule. A-topology is based on the following 3 basic axioms: Axiom #1: The set X and the empty set are open. Axiom #2: Any union of open sets is open. Axiom #3: Any finite intersection of open sets is open. Here are key insights and hypotheses: Each point in weakly perfect space W corresponds to a potential quantum state. The open sets in W represent the possible state configurations or superpositions of those quantum states. We define a function to map from W to a state in ℋ Hilbert space that defines the following condition for weakly perfect continuity: f(W) ⊆ ℋ is continuous iff for every open set O in ℋ, f⁻¹(O) is an open set in W. This condition ensures that the mapping preserves the topological structure of quantum states as conceptualized in weakly perfect spaces. Now, if we consider a set S in W comprising multiple points, each corresponding to a different quantum state, then the union of these points (U = ⋃ p_i, where p_i ∈ S) represents the superposition of these states. This union, being an open set in W, adheres to the properties of weakly perfect spaces. In terms of quantum entanglement, we can extend this idea further. If two particles are entangled, their combined state cannot be described independently of each other. In our A-topological framework, this can be represented by a set E in W, where the points in E are so intertwined that their corresponding quantum states in ℋ are non-separable: For p, q ∈ E, the states f(p) and f(q) in ℋ are entangled iff f(p) ⊗ f(q) ≠ f(p) ⨁ f(q).

    Since the speed of light is actually a property of space-time (we only call it speed of light because photons travel with that speed and they do so because they are massless) it is reasonable to assume that the time that massless particles need to travel across the universe remains constant. And since the radius of the universe is increasing, that speed increases with the same rate. I guess that would explain some observations that led to the assumption of accelerated expansion.

There are many possible variations of this BINARY BASE CHARGE FIELD. This variant is a simpler universe to the Standard Model that corrects what seem to me to be obvious fundamental , problematic errors, namely Antimatter-matter and neutrino problem and lack of electro-lumino-gravitational !ETHER! (kind of... mine combines with +ve cells to form a more modern quantum relativistic lattice field).. This model has its merits and the maths can't be too difficult for a math wiz. It is a pretty accommodating, recursive, strictly visualisable premise (as it should be?).. The Lattice is everything, there is no nothing, no thing is perfectly still, balanced lattice. There is no empty space and probably not (much) truly empty lattice containing no thing(s). There is no before or after The Eternal Lattice, there is no outside and The Lattice knows everything because it is everything - but a (collective) conscious entity!

    Equation 13:57 c = 2Pi f rp; but 2Pi r = circumference, so this says that c = f circumferencep. That is, frequency equals c divided by the circumference of the proton. So the number of times a particle would travel around the cirumference (per second) would be its speed (c) divided by the distance travelled (the circumference). If the speed of light were 10 million times the circumference, the number of times it would travel around would be 10 million (per second).

    The problem with the Large Number Hypothesis is that the known universe is two or three orders of magnitude larger than it was in Dirac's day. So one of his dimensionless numbers has changed so much that it no longer matches the other in any spooky way. Also the proton is not an elementary particle like an electron or a quark, so why should we care about its radius or its mass? The number of particles used by Dirac is also suspect. We know about lots more particles today, e.g. neutrinos. So that number is also not spooky anymore. This whole approach to physics seems more like astrology or numerology -- or as the quote on one of the slides puts it: "a remarkable coincidence." But since the numbers no longer *coincide* you can't even call it that.

    Dr Alexander Unzicker Thank you once again for such an interesting talk. I like yourself and Paul Dirac I've been curious about correlations between cosmological numbers "Large Numbers Hypothesis". I think they are more than suggestive of undiscovered physics and cosmology. Further more I believe they share a direct causal relationship of such a nature that not only solves the Large Numbers Hypothesis, but also resolves the universal complexity problem and the fine tuning problem. For your consideration,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Any entity that exists via exploitation of an energy, can conceivably evolve its form and functions to a highly ordered complex state optimized for exploiting that energy. This summarizes life's circumstances very nicely. And if you assume space possesses an energy content that Baryon matter "atoms" exploit, then you can test the idea that the forms and processes of matter are an evolved state optimized for harvesting that energy. Biological activity owes its origin to sunlight "a freely available energy of the environment in which plants have evolved and optimized the process of Photosynthesis to exploit. Consider the possibility that atomic activity owes its origin to an energy field that inhabits the environment of space, and that Baryons "atoms" have evolved an optimized process to exploit this energy source (we might term fieldsynthesis). Atoms exploit and convert space into atomic force. Atomic forces that are the generator of atomic activity. We do after all use atomic activity to define atomic time. So atomic force and atomic time are certainly intimately related, and therefore so is the concept of spacetime. Spacetime curvature = atomic time = atomic activity = atomic force. Because atomic forces generate the atomic activity we use to define the measure of time. Direct causal relationship.

Anybody who has studied the complexity problem of science, and or the fine-tuning problem will recognize the potential benefits of discovering a "natural organizational principle is responsible for generating universal physical complexity and order. So here is an avenue for inquiry. This outlines a scenario within which Darwinian mechanisms are given ample opportunity to act as an organizational principle responsible for sculpting atomic and cosmological forms and processes.

    Scientist know why living cells service specialized roles within terms of forms and functions for the benefit of multicellular organisms. Because the fates of cells and the bodies they form are intertwined in a Darwinian circumstance of adaptation, optimization in the bid to persist. But what scientists dont know is why hydrogen fusion sensitivity generates just the right amount of heat within stars to balance against the force of gravity and halting gravitational collapse. But while not being overly sensitive triggering a nova event. This raises the question of finely tuned calibration? Why do processes at atomic scales service structure forming roles at cosmological scales? The hypothesis outlined above presents the same opportunity to service the question of fusions ideal sensitivity for maintaining stellar structure, as it does biologies relationship between Cells and an organisms multicellular body. Atoms fates are intertwined with stellar structures and processes within a circumstance of Darwinian progression, evolution and refined optimization. All these considerations are made posable within a cosmological model which assumes space is a habitat that possesses an energy content. And that the Baryon universe (atoms and the cosmological bodies that atoms form) exist on the basis of exploiting this naturally available energy of space. That universal complexity and order is a result of evolution and refined optimization. That life examples an extraordinary Darwinian existence which extends to a far broader universal scope.

    Any Darwinian entity can be understood within terms of the energy it exploits to exist, and its evolved form and function optimized for exploiting that energy source. Take a tree for example. Its form and processes can be understood within terms of evolving (Lignin fibers) that is to say wood fibers. Which it used to good effect in the competition for sunlight. A strong truck enabled the tree to lift its bulk above competing plants and then spread its branches and leaf canopy wide, increasing its surface area and ability to collect the suns energy. So the theme of structure and process is apparent in the trees truck and branch form and photosynthesis process. Forms and functions. Structures and processes. If you begin from the standpoint that atoms exist on the basis of exploiting an energy of space habitat. That atoms evolved collective agencies that form stable cosmological bodies, presumably for the same general reason that cells eventually evolved multicellular bodies. In any case life offers precedence to be weighed as evidence that Darwinian systems are inclined to do such things. So now ill get to the point. As living things, we owe a great debt to chemical bond forming potentials of atoms and the presents of water molecules that act as a universal solvent in the expression of these chemical potentials. Life didn't invent chemical potentials, it only coopted or borrowed pre-existing potentials of matter. Question is, why and how dis atoms achieve such an incredible and complex system of chemistry? Let us look to the Earth's geochemical processes and see how geology makes use of chemical bonds, and the substance of water which just happens to be found in abundance in this universe and on Earth's surface. I see Earth's geochemical processes making use of chemical bonds while cementing eroded sandy and rocky aggregates, resolidifying rock sheets that span the width of continents. I see the Earth's surface being resolidified into ridged and therefore persistent structure by geochemical means enabled by the presents of water. Not to mention some heat and pressure within the Earth's crust. Chemical potentials of matter would lay largely dormant on Earth if not for the presents of the universal solvent of water. What are the odds that nature would create wonderous chemical potentials quite by accident, and then again by mere accident create a very particular substance requires to activate those chemical potentials? They work together with an elegance that a lock fits a key. How can we take those seriously unlikely circumstances for granted? So I see a highly energetic and kinetic universe that bombards and erodes planet surfaces, and I see repair mechanisms that act to resolidify this ware and tear. Much like your skin repairs itself, so do planetary crusts. The idea is that these extraordinary processes of nature, chemical bonds and water's means of expressing them in a meaningful useful way, evolved for natural reasons that can be fathomed by science. Reasons that we observe nature in the act of doing, like geochemical structure formation. Within context of an entity's exploitation of an energy source, and its evolved structures and processes optimized for exploiting that energy while achieving stable persistent universal structures. In this fashion, it can be fathomed how the universe achieved highly ordered complex states, structures and processes, which having achieved a high enough threshold of chemical sufistication, that only then did life became an emergent potential. We know how life generated its complexity. Darwinian progression. But science is hung up on the question of how matter came to possess the characteristics and complexity that life depends upon to exist. I'm strongly suggesting that universal complexity owes to the same general circumstances of lifes emergent complexity. Darwinian progression.

So in order to maintain the ratio constant at 10^39 then rp radius of proton must also be changing. Mu/mp is 10^78 and if mp mass of proton changes then mass of the universe must also be changing. So is rp only changing or both rp, mp is also changing or else is the number of paticles in the universe changing. But protons are not the only particles in the universe there some others like mesons, kaons, electrons also then we have to consider their masses also for finding number of paticles in the universe.

    @@TheMachian Along that line, it is easily derived that if the mass (aka number of particles) is increasing, it should be at a rate proportionate to sqrt(t). This implies an expanding universe. There's reason to believe that this does not hold close to t = 0, but observeables at low t are scarce. Possible inflationary early universe via large mase in small spare => more space. Per latest standard gravity theory, as one approached the event horizon, the light from the outside narrows down to a single point, away from the 'center' of the black hole. Non-standard (but calculable, and per standard theory not observable from the outside). Inside, 'down' in polar coordinates becomes 'future' in time, and the former time dimension becomes spatial. The entire event horizon becomes 'the beginning' of time, and is a horizon, not a singularity. But mathematically, the entire universe outside the event horizon diminished to a point at the event horizon. Using one set of equations of the metric (metric from calculations of the inside, but not accounting for z to t axis rotation) , gravity pulls us to the future. Locally, we would observe the arrow of time. Thus the observed speed of light is dependent on gravity. Since the gravitation curvature in that metric increases monotonically, time should slow. At this point, I run out of skill to calculate, but first estimate is Lorenz contraction, and thus in this metric it appears to slow time, which is isomorphic to hyperinflation of distance. I can get to ... Dirac's large numbers. Also equates to watching the area just above the event horizon,

    Ether Theory Revisited: The speed of a wave in classical mechanics is related to the energy/lenth in the media. (ether-stress) In the case of electromagnetic waves, the media is the vacuum and the speed of light might relate to ether-stress. The ether-stress might, in turn, be related to the inflation of the universe. Lorentz contraction might also be partially attributed to some quality of the vacuum. Since we measure both distance and time by counting wave-lengths, c is a constant if/when wave-length contracts appropriately. But the ether is not like a gas, it is more like a membrane or boundary in a 4th dimension. On the other side of the membrane, anti-particles mirror our own observables. The interactions with the membrane and anti-particles explains pair-production and annihilation. Perhaps gravity emerges as a manifestation of ether-stress. And ether-stress, in turn, is locally affected by the presence of particles (and the tension / pucker) they produce in the membrane.

    c/H0 (the hubble constant) is 1.3*10^26 m. Indeed, the number is closer to 10^41. Given the cosmological ucertainties, the coincidence is remarkable though. As Dirac pointed out in his 1937 paper, there could be also numerical factors such as 137 and /or 1836.

All the while, the radius of the proton is staying the same.

    What is your opinion on EWT's take on gravity? According to the theory, gravity is a shading effect between particles, as a tiny portion of inbound longitudinal waves are converted to transverse waves due to the particle's spin. I'm bringing this up because it correlates with Dirac's realization that the strength of gravity is related to the mass and size of the universe. Every single particle in the universe "produces" outbound longitudinal waves, which then strike an observed particle from all sides equally if you ignore shading. But because of shading, the more waves per unit volume you have, the more pronounced the shading becomes!

    The real reason for looking for an equation showing an approximate numerical relation between one known constant and other known constants in physics would be to suggest a direction of research which might lead to an /analytical derivation/ of that equation, thereby reducing by one the number of arbitrary constants. While any such simplification would always be welcome, it should always be remembered that pure mathematics can tell you absolutely nothing about physical reality. In other words, there will always be at least one unexplained constant in physics, because a mathematical model which is not linked to reality by at least one of its parameters being arbitrarily equated with some measurable physical quantity, by way of an arbitrary scale of measurement, has no link with reality. The nearest thing we can ever hope for to a genuinely universal theory of physics would be one in which the only assumed laws were the current laws of human thought. These are the laws on which mathematics itself is based, or was at least derived from. They include mathematical ideas about number, arithmetic, geometry, topology, and such like. Attempts have been made reduce these to as small a logical basis as possible in set theory and logic, but as with physics, even mathematics cannot pull itself up by its own bootlaces. Note also that even such a theory would only be universal amongst humans, or possibly amongst thinking beings.

Does the background radiation enter the John Dalton atom system, and does it form a ripple near the graviton, as firm as the cosmic rays that strike the atom and energize it? Virtual journeys through the Matrix of Force in Spacetime will help educate people.

    You bring me to a thought that explains why we can't reach the speed of light. Just like the shaking when reaching the speed of sound, this must also happen reaching the speed of light. This shaking is essential! If you want to reach the speed of light and beyond your rocket should be very sturdy. 😁 Beyond that threshold you will end in the dark. There will be no light, nothing, you will end out of this universe or in the dark matter. Reaching the sound barrier you come in complete silence, so reaching the light barrier you come in complete darkness.

    Hello, Alex, I wonder what you think of this. I have, for years, thought of Dark Matter or Dark Gravitation as a form of surface tension. Recently I saw a Max Tegmark video where he rehashed Galactic Clusters passing through each and leaving mass behing, which had collided in the passage, but the Dark Matter passed straight through, did not join together or carom back. And the there's the hypothesis that Dark Matter is responsible for production of Gamma Photons that make up the galactic Fermi Bubbles. I immediately let surface tension fall away because this is not surface tension and I immediately quit believing it could be surface tension. Gamma Photon production is a reaction to Positronium annihilation. But Positronium is difficult to prouce, and that's a lot of Gamma Photons. A lot. So I started plugging the loose ends that had dismissed surface tension into new nodes, assuming Dark Matter had to be some kind of hitheto unimagined antiparticle. And what Max Tegmark said was almost identical to something I had heard Jim Gates say. If two different phenomenae can be described in the same way, it is likely they are the same thing. It seems to me that light passes through light in exactly the same way Dark Matter passes through Dark Matter. I imagined an antiphoton that behaved exactly like a photon in every conceivable way except that it radiates backward in time. So I looked up antiphoton to see if anyone had postulated such a thing. I found that the accepted term is "Dark Photon". Seems that, just this year, 2020, a lot of scientific papers have been published on this subject of Dark Photons, proposing it as a candidate for Dark Matter, including--just on 9-23-2020--a proposed experiment to hunt for them in S. Korea. It seems (to me) like this one tweak to the SM could solve just about every mystery in the universe, from Q-Grav to consciousness to Dark Matter. I wonder, please, could you share any thoughts on this? Thank you for reading to the end. Sincerest regards, Allex

Special cases. An excellent overviem is the book by R. Sanders "The dark matter problem". Best,A.

In summary, a mirrored Negative Universe on same 2D membrane as our Positive Universe, stellar thermonuclear fusion producing negative energy (repulsive gravity) can qualitatively and quantitatively account for Dark Energy and factor out to your universal G ~c**2R/M factor. Published article shows expansion rate U ~Gp/c where p ~M/R**2 is universal mass density averaged over the 2D shared membrane. Factoring out (dimensions) 1/T~GM/R**2c gives G ~R**2c/TM ~c**2R/M Assuming a uniform distribution of stars in both universes, I was able to use this simple model to determine that classical nuclear energy released from stars produces an expansion rate of U~82km/s.Mpc, which is consistent with the measured Hubble Constant of around 70km/s.Mpc.

    Einstein's "variable speed of light" isn't a variable speed of light theory, it is the truncation of GR to g_00 only. This means clocks tick at different rates at different positions. You shouldn't interpret it as a 'variable speed of light' because the local speed of light as measured by any experiment would still be roughly constant in the proper theory. I say "roughly", because you are ignoring the small effects of the off-diagonal parts of the metric tensor. The proper solution includes the whole metric tensor, Einstein realized that the scalar theory wasn't complete very quickly, he never expected it to be more than a heuristic guide to a full theory. A full scalar theory is Nordstrom gravity, which has no light deflection, unlike the original Einstein 1907 theory you reference, which has half the correct deflection. The full deflection is due to the space-space components of the metric, which contribute equal amount of deflection for a particle moving at the speed of light, and do not contribute at all to a particle moving slowly, for which Einstein's 1907 theory is sufficiently accurate.

    Reliance on the proton mass (and proton radius) in dimensionless cosmological ratios, if not considered mere coincidence, would seem to indicate that the geometry of gravitation is dominated by the geometry of particles that are geometrically similar to protons (eg nucleons, ie protons and neutrons). If so, and if dark matter dominates gravitational matter, this would imply that dark matter is predominately baryonic (eg nucleons, ie protons and neutrons). AFAIK, this is inconsistent with the lambdaCDM model of cosmogony.
