Is space an ecosystem?
The theory
I have been building a theory of gravity for a long time now, and this article reflects some of the research I have been doing.
There are many reasons why I am doing this, and mainly, it is because we know so much about existing forces, such as electromagnetism, that it does not seem right that we know so little about gravity.
This article reflects many on the rest of this site as a piece of research in action. I am enjoying learning as I go and unearthing information that often changes my mind given the evidence. The post is over a decade old but is only just being published. Mainly because I can see that I won’t be anywhere near ready to provide a first draft for a long time, though I like to have a record out there of findings so far.
I return to this article regularly to see how far the research has progressed and compare with what is currently known in wider contexts and the disparity is fascinating. The evidence to how the universe actually works is not as widely known as we think and there is so much contradictory theory and evidence.
Yet this subject is the foundation on which humans get their life, making it a critical topic to understand. I don’t have time to fully explore my theory of gravity given this research. I have it in my head and it is truly exciting. It feels as though our research tools are limited and thus our capacity for evidence and proof is limited.
We can replicate gravity by changing our momentum and velocity, implying gravity could be an emergent force when all known forces are combined. That is essentially the theory I am investigating here.
The main question is whether it is possible that gravity could be a measure of the pressures on a given place and time that emerge as the universe exists and time passes. The standard model, for example, has many holes, including a complete explanation of gravity. While our predictions work, that only means we have predictable maths, which does not prove or require a new force. Maths alone cannot explain everything that is there, so there must be data and facts we do not know, but that does not have to be a force called gravity.
Through this research, I have confirmed that there are limits to the size of particles that we can detect, so we only have proof of particles within these sizes. It is very unlikely, therefore, that we have detected all particles and all matter that exist. If technology discovers how to detect smaller and larger particles (essentially wavelengths, I believe), then we will have new data to build on to fill the gaps.
I am not sure yet whether Neutrinos are an example of known particles that are too small to measure directly.
One aim is to demonstrate this theory of gravity in various ways, both in thought experiments and digitally.
The spinning of the earth may create gravity. The centrifugal and other forces then make matter and ions organise, therefore what we experience as gravity may be momentum. This is why G forces can be replicated by spinning people on a wheel and why SpaceX is proposing to spin their spacecraft to produce gravity.
This theory implies that gravity is not a force it is a unit of measurement. It could also be the result of the links between particles we cannot detect. Those links create tiny forces on matter that have an effect when seen on a large scale.
Therefore, the bonds between particles at the molecular level could be creating the structures of the planet that we see and also don’t see. The air and ions we don’t see but they still exert pressure through bonds and humans are stuck inside this ocean without knowing about it.
I could model this in physics and see where it leads and ask for help from physics nerds.
Also, the initial spin of the system will cause electrostatic charges, which may contribute to the molecules binding together.
Research
Anton is talking about space appearing out of nothing.
Everything I see and read confirms my thoughts so I can have a draft article that explore this and puts ideas together.
This video logically discusses the limitations of the field of cosmology and puts into words mant of the concerns I have with the field and the flaws I have seen and want to discuss in this article.

- When the fields vibrate with enough energy, particles appear. When the fields die down, the particles disappear. Another way to look at this is to say that what we call a “particle” is really a localized vibration of a quantum field.

- https://bigthink.com/13-8/wave-particle-duality-matter/ Not just light: Everything is a wave, including you.
- This article has highlighted that what we consider particles of light can also be understood as waves of energy peaking and rebounding just like waves against a coastline.
- So what we consider to be light is really a wave of a certain frequency travelling in a direction in a fluid. So it kind of has a contrail like an aeroplane.
- What this research implies to me is that we detect matter in limited ways. My theory is that everything starts as energy with potential but like in the air or sea it’s not interacting much just following flows of the energy around it.
- Following the patterns of currents would mean that the energy would start to move together and act as bigger than the sum of its parts. as different currents brush up against each other or collide and reverberate then waves and ripples appear and produce energy peaks and troughs with related effects.
- So the theory I have is that everything is energy first and all around us. We are literally swimming in it. We interact with it all the time but it’s so small and part of normal life it’s like the air we breath. Only recently in human development did we prove that the air is not a vacuum and is made up of all sorts of elements we also learned that the clouds were made natural by the flow of the elements as an air fluid. Clouds form once air rises sufficiently that the air density cannot keep the water in the air and it separates out. So the water is in the air all the time it just appears under certain conditions.
- And the basic elements of matter like quarks and gluons are all around us in solution and appear when the conditions allow. Many of the processes of life therefore function because of the fluid they are in and the interactions this creates. The free movement of this energy and dark or smaller matter does the same. As matter gets larger by trapping more and more energy into specific states it is affected more by larger matter itself like any thing solidifying. The waves we see may be the contrails or wave peaks and troughs created by the denser matter with the less dense energy since the atoms etc are never actually at rest.
- The original double slit experiment https://youtu.be/Iuv6hY6zsd0
- This actually explains what is happening and shows that in the light version the waves cancel each other out just like I thought. I think I could demonstrate this in silico just as peaks and troughs cancelling each other.
- Quantum Entanglement Isn’t All That Spooky After All: The way we teach quantum theory conveys a spookiness that isn’t actually there.
- But it is a fact that the quantum information they share requires correlations, which means it is entangled. This appears spooky to the investigators because they only reason with classical information. But it’s not spooky. In any theory of information, correlations are ubiquitous. Through the lens of quantum information, then, entanglement is not strange or rare, but rather expected. The information perspective beautifully illustrates the core problem with demanding a classical description of quantum phenomena: it’s the wrong language. The Nobel Prize–winners were the first to demonstrate this as a fact about nature. Today, you can follow in their footsteps by creating entanglement and processing the correlated quantum information on a real quantum computer.

- Also, on the largest cosmic scales, the Universe appears to be homogeneous, or the same at all locations. Whether we look “here” or “there” or “anywhere else,” we see roughly the same temperatures, densities, numbers of galaxies, etc., so long as we sample a large enough region of space.
