hope i don't make a fool of myself among the illustrious /. crowd ;) I do try to document myself... but i do not fill pages or drives with calculations mind you... Just a relativistic view...
Since i'll never publish a science breakthrough, i guess it wont hurt my scientific reputation imposing a new theory ;)
And if we look at fractals, dimension also becomes a dimension. Other semi-dimensions include things like polynomials where each "digit" is a dimension, and we could also imply that any system of behaviors have their dimensions.
What if the spectrum of particle radiation (aka the energy spectrum of waves (infrasound to cosmic rays)) was incomplete? This in view that the scales lower or higher than our view of infinity is "limited" in the "scale" dimension... The so called infinitesimally small and large...
When we view an object, we say it is in xyz... T for time if you want... We do say at what relative scale - since we don't have a "concept" of the dimension scale but do we translate that in "our scale" to compare a relationship of causality.
So if gravity or time work on different scales differently, how does that reflect in the rest of the 3 dimensions "we" see in our own limited way?
For example the speed of light may fluctuate over time and scale... We now have proven that under different conditions, it may not move fast at all. Can light go through dark matter? Sure, if dark matter is significantly smaller... So how small is a photon? Zero-weight? really? Then why is there radiation pressure? Something must interact...
Another dimension which could be related to gravity would be in density, temperature. Different atomic densities of sub-atomic particles surely wont interact the same way in a "noisy" subatomic particle space.
Maybe i don't know much (who does?) about physics and the universe other than there's probably an infinite number of dimensions... Every prime and its inverse (what of all real numbers?) are a different look at relationships among particles or any systems.
The problem is that we don't know what is "one". The most basic element... why is a photon so energetic?
We still don't know what's smaller than subatomics stuff or do we? But we know there is anti-matter. We know also there is a positive x, y, z and a negative xyz for each...
Why are these particles traveling so fast? how can more energy be stored in a sub atomic particle than our human scale particles? I mean a kilo of TNT is not that potent in comparison to an atom-scale kilo of atom fissioned or fusioned right? But we do know the difference in scales comparing both the effect (how far you better stand from the reaction point).
The problem is that the atomic relationships of atoms are not decimal or that logic in progression, if we count isotopes on top it may be flatter in terms of topology but still there is no easy linear progression or "scaled" dimension...
In other words, the progression from atom 1 to 100 is not linear in any way (natural elements do not have linear properties for example). How sterile and un-reactive or un-original would the universe be then compared to the stochastic entropy we live in?
The problem is that nature is analog... or is it? I say there's a "1" dimension which is not based on the real law of numbers but of scales - there are stable atoms with equal numbers of particles after all. Something must be forcing the rest to be different... Has this been researched?
I'm sure they'll find musical relationships to quantas soon. But it's interesting to see how music and scales of densities/wave energies inter-play...
Meanwhile different oscillations are making our universe, made of smaller particles or big ones (planets are subatomic particles? solar systems are atoms?) is there a never ending mirror in the scale of the universe?
A weird blobby-dimension Klein-bottle type thing that doesn't correspond to one single dimension in which we cycle our energy and particles?
Scales are logarithmic if i'm not mistaken. But at scale 1 they are all the same, 1/1, 0/1 and 1/0. In super-symmetry, these relationships can be implied.
No matter how you look at it, dimensions carry information. But what is wonderful in this universe is how the mix of these scales and energies and information-links create such a colorful universe... And i don't think it would be hard to make it apparent in schools that this beauty of the universe at "every" scale dimension does affect our everyday lives in one way or another.
Isn't that a better start for both evolution and intelligent design theories?
With this scale dimension law, we can equally equate non-linear systems to fit in models. We can also find geometric or other-logical systems to fit in the model - or vice versa... fit the model to the data... It's both the basis for non-linear algebra, or multi-variate statistics and ANOVAs...
Question is how can such a small particle have such an influence over galaxies? If we equate dark matter to something so small it's energy is higher than normal matter in a non-radiating way, we could look into a something like small drops make oceans which do make huge waves... And surfers (like photons) go faster than waves so we can see them between the waves (it's like peeking through a spoked wheel at different speeds maybe - what's the amplitude of a sub-atomic particle? Can we focus our "tools" on that? we know IR and xray astronomy show a different universe than what we see with our telescopes)... I wouldn't be surprised if dark matter made waves and clouds across the universe tangling tidal pools of light matter...
Thinking of densities, if a light particle is a certain weight and interacts to the point of making black holes, if sub-sub-sub-quark particles interacted in another way, had a few more scales of energies higher than quarks but enough to tangle light matter, what would it be?
Last question for the intrigued among us:
Are we gonna create a super-nova or worse a big-bang splitting one of these subatomical particles without knowing?)
sorry, just wondering...
