ACCC clears Optus to scrap HFC network and use NBN instead

The ACCC has cleared, provisionally, the proposed deal between Optus and NBN Co under which Optus is to be paid around $800m to shut down its HFC network and transfer customers onto the NBN. read more

Predictive Cosmology: Creation's secret revealed in muon-electron mass ratio = 206.768 283

Science - Energy



In summary, the new Predictive Cosmology gives a logically consistent description of the early phases of the Universe. It explains many previously inexplicable features of the elementary particles and the forces acting between them.

SUMMARY

To understand the calculations in the paper detailing Predictive Cosmology, only basic knowledge of vector analysis is required. In other words, only the easy part of the theory has so far been developed. It is a vanishingly small part compared with what remains to be done. No doubt, it will take particle physicists many years to work out the full consequences of the incorporation of global energy conservation into the Standard Model (SM) of elementary particle physics.

For astrophysicists, the task may be a little simpler. It should not require too many years of work to develop a reliable model simulating the evolution of the Universe from the early stage; that is, early on when the bulk of its matter and energy was swallowed by black holes, to its present state.

(Gravity was initially very strong. Today, the gravitational force between electrons is roughly 1040 times weaker than the electric force. When the black holes began to form, gravity may have been, say, 1030 times stronger than it is today. Consequently, most of the energy in the initially very dense universe should have been rapidly trapped into black holes. The weakening of the gravitational force is, according to the space equation, caused by the Universe's expansion from the size of an atom to its present size'”G being inversely proportional to the radius R of the Universe.)

Returning to the questions posed near the beginning of the article, they may now be briefly answered:

'¢    What makes the Universe expand?

Answer: Expansion is the result of an ongoing process in which particles create space at a rate that is proportional to their energy. Also, matter, spin, electric charge, creation of space, and gravity all have a common explanation: They are features inherent in the space equation, which is a particular solution to the fundamental hydrodynamic (or momentum) equation.

'¢    How was the very first particle created?

Answer: In a spontaneous breaking of the perfect symmetry of literally nothing (where neither space nor time exists).

'¢    How were today's massive elementary particles first created?

Answer: In transformations of radiation into matter when (global) energy conservation repeatedly forbade the Universe from decaying into massless radiation (a Universe composed solely of radiation (e.g., light) would continuously lose energy via redshifting caused by the expanding Universe).

'¢    Why are there electromagnetic, strong, and weak forces?

Answer: Because these forces were needed to transform radiation into matter.

'¢    When did the forces first appear?

Answer: When matter was recreated from radiation.

'¢    Why did not matter and antimatter completely annihilate each other in the early Universe?

Answer: Because an expanding matter-free Universe violates the principle of (global) energy conservation.
