Our current theory of gravity isn't "wrong" so much as it's incomplete. We can use it to make astonishingly accurate predictions in almost every scenario, but those couple of extremely specific scenarios we can't predict tell us that we're missing something.

One crazy theory I read about is that gravity does not exist in the first place. Or, more accurate, it does, but its only a side effect of time and mass interacting. The metaphor would be a boat on a river. The river flows in one direction and the boat drifts along. The closer you get to the river bank, the slower the water flows. Now, once you get close enougth, the water on one side flows noticibly faster than on the side towards the river bank, and that exerts a force onto the boat pushing it towards the river bank. In this metaphor time would be the flowing river, an large object with mass would be the river bank and the boat a smaller one. The idea is that the faster flow of time is exerting a force towards a mass rich object, the small difference of, for example your feet and your heads time speed, being what actually causes what we observe as gravity. So, the theory states , its not gravity that pushes you down, its time.

Whats nice about this theory is that it makes the existence of the so far unprofen and higly theoretical graviton unnessesary. To make it very rougth, if you take a bucket with water and spin it around the water wont fall out, like there is gravity. But its not, there is no force. Its just inertia and the change in direction creating the illusion of a force.

One of the reasons some argue that the speed of light may have been different, is because some aspects of the universe appear to be younger then what cosmology says, and that would affect carbon dating, the age of the universe, etc… One of the problems with inflation is where did the universe get the energy for the rapid expansion, and/or where did that energy go. Both, inflation and the speed of light bring with them more questions than they do answers, which makes the whole of cosmological theory look like a worn patchwork quilt.

Our best antennae are barely able to pick up the voyagers at 22.5 W, +48dB from voyager's antenna, and 120 AU. It's estimated the signal will drop below background noise by 200 AU (but the power to transmit is likely to be gone before then).. We don't need to worry - 1) we reuse almost all communications frequencies - even back in the 1930's - within 60° of latitude and/or longitude. The signals are going to be out of phase, resulting in a lot of noise. 2) even a 50 MW broadcast is losing a lot. Our biggest radio signal ran about that strong. Due to lack of collimation, it's only going to get picked up by a +70dB Deep Space Network at sqrt(1.3e5) × the ranage, or about 82000 AU... a light year is 63241.1 AU... not even enough to get to the nearest star system. 3) even given all that, there is the formatting issue. Our video encoding for broadcast is pretty messy. So, if they detect and record is, they're unlikely to be able to make sense of it. And that is due to the way we included sound and video. If they guess wrong, it's just noise. (after all, each watt is roughly 1e40 photons ± a factor of 1000... past a certain distance, there just aren't enough photons to carry signal.)

More like the writers never use it

When I was doing Ayahuasca at a Peruvian ceremony in the Amazon jungle, I was shown behind the veil, and what I realized made me want to throw up, and it took months before my mind would let me access what I learned that time again. There was nothing, and I'm not real, and nothing has actually ever happened. The now, future, and past were only parts of the illusion that made me believe that I was real and something that was separate from nothingness. I had never heard of the Boltzmann brain theory before, but I think it has an affinity for the deepest level of "truth" that I was shown.

The real problem with "nothingness" is that it's probably the one theory that simply can't be true. There are VERY few things we can truly "know". There is a famous saying: "I think, therefore I am", and I am certain that the fact that I have thoughts means that SOMETHING exists. It doesn't really mean that I exist or that the world exists or anything else, but it does mean that at least something exists because those thoughts themselves are "something", and those thoughts certainly do "exist" in a way.

Gravity so weak? Increase it by 1% and we're toast.

I've always wondered if Gravity was a side effect of mixing the other fundemental forces. Which is why it exists, but is weaker than the other forces.

Red Shift: Consider the following: a. Current narrative: Space itself is expanding. (Even though science does not fully know yet what 'space' actually is nor how it could actually expand). b. But consider: The net effect of solar winds, particles and energy pushing outward from galaxies, (even modern science claims 'em' has momentum), continuously, over a prolonged period of time, with other galaxies doing the same, with nothing to stop them from doing so, would tend to push galaxies away from each other and even potentially allow the cosmic web to form between galaxies. And then, when we here in our galaxy, look at far away galaxies, with other galaxies in between, the net effect of all those galactic interactions would have galaxies furthest from ours move away faster the further those galaxies were from us, including us perceiving a red shift of energy. c. Now, utilizing the scientific principal of Occam's razor, which way is more probably correct? What the current narrative is ('a' above), or 'b' utilizing known physics? * Added note: Plus, 'if' my analysis is correct that our spiral shaped galaxy is collapsing in upon itself, then consider also: d. When we look at solar systems between ours and the center of the galaxy, those solar systems would be getting pulled faster towards the center than ours, hence also seeing a red shift of energy. e. When we look at solar systems between ours and the outer edge of the galaxy, our solar system would be getting pulled faster towards the center then them, hence also seeing a red shift of energy. f. Only if we looked at solar systems adjacent to ours should we see a blue shift of energy (as the solar systems became closer together as they moved towards the center of the galaxy). I also propose looking for blue shifts of energy between our solar system and adjacent solar systems to confirm or deny this current belief. g. But if true, would also add to our observation of seeing a red shift of energy in this universe as our spiral shaped galaxy collapses in upon itself. Of which, not only would species from this Earth have to get off of this Earth before the Sun becomes a red giant one day and wipes out all life on this Earth if not even the entire Earth itself, but species from this Earth would also have to successfully get out of this collapsing spiral shaped galaxy, otherwise, most probably death awaits us all and this Earth and all on it are all just a waste of space time in this universe. All life from this Earth would eventually die and go extinct. Currently, no exceptions. h. QUESTION: Do basically all galaxies eventually collapse in upon themselves? (Which would add to the perceived red shift between galaxies as they all basically shrink in size). Modern science currently states that 'gravity' is matter bending the fabric of spacetime. There is a lot of matter in a galaxy and hence would make a huge dent in spacetime. How could galaxies not collapse in upon themselves if space and time were bent to make it so? Of which also, the progression of galaxies?: 1. How exactly do galaxies form? (The current narrative is that matter, via gravity, attracts other matter. The electric universe model also includes universal plasma currents.) 2. How exactly do galaxies flatten out if gravity is acting on the whole galaxy? (Other forces must also be at work besides gravity for a galaxy to flatten out? Electrical and/or magnetic forces?) 3. How exactly do galaxies become spiral shaped? (At least one way would be orbital velocity of matter with at least gravity acting upon that matter, would cause a spiral shaped effect. The electric universe model also includes energy input into the galaxy, which spiral towards the galactic center, which then gets thrust out from the center, at about 90 degrees from the input. Additionally, with the conservation of energy, as energy moves into the vertical plane from the center of the horizontal plane, energy from the horisontal plane moves to the center of the horizontal plane to replace the energy that moved into the vertical plane. There is also the conservation of angular momentum. As more matter moves towards the center of the galaxy, that portion of the galaxy would speed up relative to the matter towards the outer portions of the galaxy.) 4. The natural progression of a galaxy would be to become smaller and smaller. 5. Of which, does all life throughout the entire universe (if other life even exists in the universe besides what is on this Earth, which is most probably true) eventually die and go extinct and the entire universe and all in it are ultimately meaningless in the grandest scheme of things and the entire universe and all in it are ultimately just a waste of spacetime in existence? And even 'if' the current narrative of space itself is expanding, and the entire universe would eventually end in a 'big freeze', wouldn't the end of life itself in this entire universe still occur?

Frequency separation. Perception based on frequency your pineal gland is tuned into. Everything is digital solids based on the vibration from a specific frequency each organism perceived as its surroundings. It’s far more complex that that, but, it is a start.

The most unpleasant theory about the universe is that all time, both past and future, is predetermined. It means that we live in a world where free will is an illusion. Our whole life will be like a movie that has already been recorded.

Trying to comprehend some of the theories in this really puts into perspective how much of a dumbarse I am compared to these scientists and academics.

Combining two of these theories together we might be able to assume that if gravity can "escape" whatever universe it came from, then dark matter could be the affects of gravity from other universes affecting ours and vice versa. It would explain why it's completely undetectable and why gravity is so weak.

One add on to the Dark Matter part. We know by now that Dark Matter is not just an artifact of gravity, but its own tangible (wel not really, its by definition intangible but you get what I mean) thing. We can tell due to observation of galaxys and galaxy clusters that in coliding ripped the Dark Matter from the others, and also that Galaxys with very little to basically no Dark Matter exist. So gravity and Dark Matter are not intrinsically linked.

Regarding the variable speed of light ... what about the speed of causality? As I understand speed of light (in a vacuum) just happily coincides with the speed of causality, but to claim that lightspeed could have been higher means that speed of causality must have been higher too (or it would lead to a ton of paradoxes). However even if light could somehow change phase I don't see what could happen to affect the speed of causality.

Every single thing.. everything in the universe is ELECTRICITY AND VIBRATIONS

I always thought that extra dimensions existed (although how many is unknown) simply because black holes exist. The matter sucked in by a singularity has to go somewhere - the laws of physics (thermodynamics?) state you can’t just turn matter into nothing so why not have that energy that was matter travel into another dimension? Perhaps someone better versed in astrophysics can better explain what I mean if I haven’t cocked up my explanation completely 😂 😂

Okay but hear me out: why does ANYTHING exist? Like seriously, why is there something instead of nothing? Actually, what even IS something? What does existing really mean? What is nothing? Why are the laws of physics the way they are and what upholds them? Why are there any laws at all? Why does time exist? Ofcourse, it might be that all of these "why" questions are stupid anyway, and that is the wrong thing to ask in the first place, as "reality" (whatever that even means) doesn't really bend to our monkey-brain conceptions of logic and reasoning, and thus "why" might be a truly unanswerable question.

In photography you focus light, you open the aperture to let more light in, film speed comes in different sensitivities. If we accept the phase shift of light being a genuine possibility, then what variable caused it? When light is focused it produces heat. When an image is out of focus the same light is hitting the lens the lens is just focused on a different point. Gravity is what holds stars in their shape condensing the energy enough to emit light. So the shift it stands to reason could be an altering of gravity made by the condensing of matter to therefore emit light. Like focusing a lens to produce heat at that point of condensing light would attain its speed. Like stretching elastic. So for me it stands to reason this theory makes sense even in our level of existence. From photography, to mirage, what created the sun like magnifying glass burning ants. You don’t create a lens in water without letting the mud settle first.

That's what gets me about searching for life anywhere else. Life could arise anywhere and be anything,so how are we able to search for it? How do we know that life couldn't arise on a planet not made for creatures like us? Just because earth creatures couldn't flourish on saturn doesn't mean another form of life couldn't.
