Can the following of fashion, blind faith, or flights of fantasy have anything seriously to do with the scientific quest to understand the universe? Surely not - but Roger Penrose argues that researchers working at the extreme frontiers of physics are as susceptible to these forces as anyone else, and that fashion, faith, and fantasy, while sometimes highly productive in physics, may be leading today's researchers astray in three of that field's most important areas-string theory, quantum mechanics, and cosmology.
Roger Penrose is a renowned mathematical physicist, mathematician and philosopher of science. He is the recipient of many awards, including the Copley Medal, the Albert Einstein Medal and the Eddington Medal.

    Could positive and negative charge represent two extra dynamic dimensions within our three dimensional Universe of continuous energy exchange? In such a theory the future is unfolding photon by photon with each photon electron coupling or dipole moment.

    Here is my latest theoretical idea concerning the Theory Of Everything (TOE). Note that it recognizes gravity as being the directional component of the photon and the pulsating photon as being the energy unit of this universe. Everything in existence, even consciousness, memories and thoughts are just energy and energy frequencies interacting with other energy and energy frequencies. (Or so I currently believe). Also for me: "Space" is energy itself. Wherever space is, energy is. Wherever energy is, space is. They are one and the same thing. "Time" is the flow of that energy. "Time" (flow of energy) cannot exist unless "space" (energy itself) exists. "Space" (energy itself) that does not flow (flow of time/energy) is basically useless. An entity can't even think a thought without a flow of energy. But hence, space and time are linked in what we call "space time". TOE: 9/22/2016. My Current TOE: THE SETUP: 1. Modern science currently recognizes four forces of nature: The strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, gravity, and electromagnetism. 2. In school we are taught that with magnetism, opposite polarities attract and like polarities repel. But inside the arc of a large horseshoe magnet it's the other way around, like polarities attract and opposite polarities repel. (I have proved this to myself with magnets and anybody with a large horseshoe magnet and two smaller bar magnets can easily prove this to yourself too). 3. Charged particles have an associated magnetic field with them. 4. Protons and electrons are charged particles and have their associated magnetic fields with them. 5. Photons also have both an electric and a magnetic component to them. FOUR FORCES OF NATURE DOWN INTO TWO: 6. When an electron is in close proximity to the nucleus, it would basically generate a 360 degree spherical magnetic field. 7. Like charged protons would stick together inside of this magnetic field, while simultaneously repelling opposite charged electrons inside this magnetic field, while simultaneously attracting the opposite charged electrons across the inner portion of the electron's moving magnetic field. 8. There are probably no such thing as "gluons" in actual reality. 9. The strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force are probably derivatives of the electro-magnetic field interactions between electrons and protons. 10. The nucleus is probably an electro-magnetic field boundary. 11. Quarks also supposedly have a charge to them and then would also most likely have electro-magnetic fields associated with them, possibly a different arrangement for each of the six different type of quarks. 12. The interactions between the quarks EM forces are how and why protons and neutrons formulate as well as how and why protons and neutrons stay inside of the nucleus and do not just pass through as neutrinos do. THE GEM FORCE INTERACTIONS AND QUANTA: 13. Personally, I currently believe that the directional force in photons is "gravity". 14. I also believe that a pulsating singularity (which is basically a pulsating photon) is the pure energy unit. 15. When these pulsating pure energy units interact with other pure energy units, they tangle together. Various shapes (strings, spheres, whatever) might be formed, which then create sub-atomic material, atoms, molecules, and everything in existence in this universe. 16. When the pure energy units unite together they would tend to stabilize and vibrate. 17. I believe there is probably a Photonic Theory Of The Atomic Structure. 18. Everything is basically "light" (photons) in a universe entirely filled with "light" (photons). THE MAGNETIC FORCE SPECIFICALLY: 19. When the electron with it's associated magnetic field goes around the proton with it's associated magnetic field, internal and external energy oscillations are set up. 20. When more than one atom is involved, and these energy frequencies align, they add together, specifically the magnetic field frequency. 21. I currently believe that this is where a line of flux originates from, aligned magnetic field frequencies. NOTES: 22. The Earth can be looked at as being a massive singular interacting photon with it's magnetic field, electrical surface field, and gravity, all three photonic forces all being 90 degrees from each other. 23. The flat spiral galaxy can be looked at as being a massive singular interacting photon with it's magnetic fields on each side of the plane of matter, the electrical field along the plane of matter, and gravity being directed towards the galactic center's black hole where the gravitational forces would meet, all three photonic forces all being 90 degrees from each other. 24. As below in the singularity, as above in the galaxy and probably universe as well. 25. I believe there are only two forces of nature, Gravity and EM, (GEM). Due to the stability of the GEM with the pure energy unit, this is also why the forces of nature haven't evolved by now. Of which with the current theory of understanding, how come the forces of nature haven't evolved by now since the original conditions acting upon the singularity aren't acting upon them like they originally were, billions of years have supposedly elapsed, in a universe that continues to expand and cool, with energy that could not be created nor destroyed would be getting less and less dense? My theory would seem to make more sense if in fact it is really true. I really wonder if it is in fact really true. 26. And the universe would be expanding due to these pulsating and interacting pure energy units and would also allow galaxies to collide, of which, how could galaxies ever collide if they are all speeding away from each other like is currently taught? DISCLAIMER: 27. As I as well as all of humanity truly do not know what we do not know, the above certainly could be wrong. It would have to be proved or disproved to know for more certainty.

    +The New Austerity I am fighting advanced cancer and should have been dead years ago. I wrote and self published my own book, more of a manuscript really, about 30 or so hard copies and numerous electronic copies, even internationally, and even a copy in the cloud I have been told, back in 2012. This TOE came about after my manuscript, but in my manuscript are other things like 120 chemical elements in this universe and my reasoning as to why I believe that. Since then I have also wrote my own interpretation to the dual slit experiment. But, what better peer review than my fellow KZreadrs??? (Which includes science minded people as well).

    +The New Austerity I am not so sure about a lot of science people not being on KZread. I sure have run into a lot of physics trolls who think they know everything. Products of a misguided education at times I currently believe. It's like many in science are stuck on a "particle mentality" way of thinking when even here on this Royal Institution's channel they recently had a video talking about the possibility that the very nature of reality is "non-physical", no particles exist at that level of existence. It's more of a quantum moving foam of interacting field energies. Which would even be in somewhat alignment of my latest TOE. Also check out Ken Wheeler on his "Theoria Apophasis" KZread channel. He has numerous videos that also support the very nature of reality being non-physical with his ideas. Thanks for your good wishes. Considering I was given two years to live with a less than 5% chance of living beyond two years back in 2004, all things considered, I am not doing too bad considering the alternative. A side effect of the cancer treatments has had a clarity of my thoughts, hence things like this TOE, my explanation to the dual slit experiment, and my idea concerning 120 chemical elements in existence in this universe. If you or anyone else out there want more of my science ideas, email me at 001charlieb@gmail.com, (for a limited time only), :-)

    +The New Austerity The way I currently figure it out to be is that if I don't get some of my ideas out now while I still consciously can, whether they are right or wrong, then when? And if my latest TOE is even somewhat correct, then it might be possible to generate artificial gravity and the necessary shield protections for the astronauts, computers and other equipment on space ships and space bases. If Earthlings don't get off of this Earth and out of this solar system, then we all die with no conscious entity left to care any of us even ever existed at all in the first place, much less whatever anybody did and/or didn't do. We failed to consciously survive. (Of which many scientist believe the universe is going to end in a "big freeze" anyway. Any life in this universe not dead by then, will die then, possibly frozen in time for literally eternity. Of which, I can also show two different ways how I believe the universe could actually eternally actively exist. But here again, I am in the minority in my theoretical ideas.) But, if there isn't at least one truly eternally consciously existent entity that truly exists throughout all of future eternity one way or another, even if it's by a continuous series of conscious entities, then one day there won't be a conscious entity left to care about Earthlings at all. All of our existence would be ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Sure, life matters while we consciously exist. And sure, we can find meaning and purpose for our existence while we consciously exist. And sure, even our death could have meaning and purpose for others. And sure, we might even be remembered for a time after we die. But, we still all die one day from something. We still all will forget everything we ever knew and experienced. We still all will be forgotten one day in future eternity, future eternity being a really long time, and will be as if we never ever existed at all in the first place. Life itself would just be an illusion, an illusion that would end one day with nobody left to care. I guess that I care if Earthlings consciously survive beyond this Earth and solar system even if I don't. Otherwise, what's it all for?

    +The New Austerity Of course also though, I don't believe they give Noble Prizes to dead people. I would like to have my leaky roof fixed and a newer car, mostly for my wife of 40 years this summer. A person can't get the Prize money if they don't play the game while alive. My invention of generating over 20 volts of electricity from basically thin air with a little black box I built didn't really go anywhere. The book I wrote I believe really bummed people out when they got to chapter three with the forces of nature when they "evolve" with the way modern science currently perceives them to be (of which I believe is also wrong per my TOE) and wipes out the universe and all in it in a blink of an eye, didn't really go anywhere. I guess in part because I am not famous enough. Even famous people get to sell their junk. I am currently studying some quantum field lectures, but even they appear could be made better by fixed addresses that have energy that changes between the addresses instead of all that complicated abstract concepts and abstract math. But, I am basically unknown, so I guess I don't really count. So, being unknown can have it's drawbacks too.

    +The New Austerity The TOE is not the only thing out there. It is just one idea of many. "Real truth" is not a popularity contest either. But again, if I don't put out my ideas now, whether they are right or wrong, then when??? My bedtime here where I am at. Talk more tomorrow if you want to. But if not, that's okay too. Thanks for a nice chat, have a nice life.
