Apparently
there is a continuing foundational problem with the standard model of particle
physics known as the Copenhagen Interpretation. The model works for practical
quantum calculations yet it has an observation problem and remains silent about
the nature of the quantum realm for-itself when not observed.
There
are alternative theories to the standard model that include descriptions of the
unobserved quantum world in a venture of through the looking glass Lewis Carrol
science including multi-universes, string theory and more. Most of those
alternative theories have similar or the same mathematical relations to the
observed quantum world as that of the standard model, if I read correctly from
Adam Beckler’s excellent book on the foundations of quantum mechanics in ‘What
is Real?’; they just go about things deeper and look somewhat farther although
speculatively.
Becker’s
book is an historical investigation of the historical developments, people and
relationships of the standard model and what followed it so far. It is
fascinating reading and quite surprisingly has a philosophically well informed
review of where or how philosophical ideas influenced quantum physical
theories, and the lack of philosophical insight tended to bring out the usual
social herd-conformity unwillingness to risk new scientific thought. Most
popular works by physicists have a paucity of philosophical awareness in
conformity to plain specialization along neo-logical positivist lines of “shut
up and calculate”.
The
true nature of the unobserved quantum world is yet unknown. There are
investigators searching for ways to solve issues left unsolved by the standard
model and to conform new theories with cosmological observations. One of the
obvious problems is that of quantum non-locality that Einstein called ‘spooky
action at a distance’ where entangled particles would need to travel faster
than light to share the same information in an example of what is non-locality.
Other issues arise with non-locality and Multiverses with probability etc.
There
are numerous ways that mathematics may find models adding to the standard model
with or without a profusion-even an infinite profusion of Universes. What if it
is much simpler than that however. What if the actual nature of dimensions
for-themselves are misunderstood (not just as mathematical exponents)? For the
time being, a simplified four dimensional Universe paradigm may be more useful
(or equally useful) for ordinary understanding than that of N Universes. Following
is a simple approach to looking deeper into the nature of the Universe (without
any mathematical suggestions for methods of investigation).
The
way two-dimensional fields or membranes interact with one another is something
to think about. Cosmology questions that arise from information one may learn
concerning quantum field theory- invented by P.A.M. Dirac and quantum
cosmology, the fields seem to suggest answers from each other for-themselves.
Dirac
applied Einstein’s special relativity parameters to field theory and invented
anti-matter in a way presently unknown to me. Another datum to consider is that
of the Higgs Field. It is said that the Higgs field slows down particles
travelling at the speed of light to sub-light speeds. I believe the reductions
in speed are perhaps known, and that the speed of particle-waves such as exists
within atoms, are constant for particular species of particle-waves. Maybe
electrons travel faster than quarks or not, and perhaps gluons are slower than
neutrons- who knows? In my opinion though, lighter particles with less mass and
more power over a distance are likely to have less of a speed reduction from c
(speed of light), and logically one might guess that heavier particles are also
slow. There might be a ratio of wavelength to speed and mass parameters too.
The
way that particle-waves existing initially in a two dimensional state are
slowed down in the Higgs field and acquire mass in three-dimensional existence-
perhaps with the third dimension being along the line of travel is something to
consider too. I wonder in particular if the Higgs Field is also two dimensional
and transects the two dimensional energy membrane that is morphed into three
dimensions there from. The thought occurred to me that one of the two
dimensions of the Higgs Membrane-field accounts for time and the other, the
third dimension, with gravity increasing around mass more, and warping the
second dimension of the Higgs Field-time, along with it. A warped Higgs dimension
may affect other particles around it, although the relation of General
Relativity’s parameters to mass may affect quantum particle-waves located in
the area of the warped field significantly, or not. Time-dilation affects for
the quantum particle-waves located on their own two-dimensional membrane that
encounter the intensely warped one-or two dimensions of the Higgs Field bent
because of mass accretion locally might be limited to Higgs Field shared third
dimension phenomena- I have little capacity to take speculations of that sort
meaningfully further.
So
I suppose the paradigm of two-dimensional energy membranes interacting may have
thousands of permutations for geometric calculus modeling. If one dimension of
a two dimensional membrane is space and the other is time that would seem prima
facie to be consistent with a three-dimensional spatial Universe with a fourth
dimension of time. Particle wave positions calculated with the Schrodinger wave
function might collapse upon observation because arresting motion from a
dimension of the Higgs field isn’t realistic-as it is a dimension sustaining
the existence of mass in the third dimension at the quantum level where mass
may be at any rate, entirely contingent and relative- an apparent wind speed instead
of a real wind speed (a sailor’s paradigm). Alternately entangled particles may
coexist along a dimensional plane on opposite sides and at a distance relative
to third dimension positions appear with collapse of a wave-function with observation.
String
theory does of course post thousands of dimensions, or maybe hundreds, to make
mathematics consistent with observations and theoretical quantum structures
that could account for the mass-energy of this Universe. If two-dimensional
energized membranes interact to form a three dimensional Universe though, that
is another line of development to consider as well, and one that might
potentially be simpler for non-mathematicians to contemplate. The pair of
two-dimensional field may differ in starting energy form comprising a heterodox
birth of a three-dimensional Universe with time. The granularity or potential
for energy particle-wave forms may differ too, and the position of the fields
relative to one another may change as they could be themselves in motion perhaps
around a shared axis point. General relativity acting upon the interactive
Higgs Field dimensional membrane could account for dark matter and the
increasing acceleration of the space of the Universe as well. It is easy to
infer a relation between the ‘slope’ of gravity and rate of acceleration of a
composite three-dimensional apparent Universe and a two-dimensional Higgs
Field.
