Here goes with attempt number three:
My Holy Grail of Physics
The Bare Essentials
AlanM
2024 9 23
This thesis asserts that The Holy Grail of Physics is neither a Mystery, nor a Myth. In support of this assertion, the Author uses existing arguments on the following properties of space-time: 1. Matter and Antimatter. 2. All forms of Dark Energy. 3. Light. 4. Time. 5. Background Radiation. ? Alan Mitchell, 2024. The sting is in the Tale. Reductio ad absurdum is what it takes to explain. It?s a great technique. The Top Property is Time itself. Next Time you look at yourself in a mirror, ask yourself what you see. Most people get this wrong. Don?t feel bad if you do too. You are looking at your Immediate Passed. Your Image is History, the Past. And your Image is already twice as far away from you, and is smaller than you think. Even your Left and Right have been interchanged. Not many of you realise this either, until it?s explained to them. Passage of Time is the Grand Magician. Time has its own built-in Continuous Reset Button. It is permanently on Auto Pilot. Read on to find out why ?Time flies? is the Ultimate Decider of Fate in Our Universe, the only one of infinitely many we cannot hope to know better than our own.

MATTER AND ANTIMATTER
All the 20th Century literature examined by the Author, fails to satisfy sound logical expectations in explaining the seeming imbalance of matter and antimatter. Why this should be so is not known, for the simplest possible explanation is adequate in my view, having seen what various authors have postulated.
If one accepts the ideas commonly expressed by authorities like Dr Feynman, matter moving forwards through time is the same as antimatter moving backwards through time. So one has to conclude that as the space-time continuum produced its very first incredibly hot expansion of plasma into existence the matter and antimatter that had enough momentum to move apart rapidly did so with alacrity, to avoid mutual annihilation and an ignominious return to the potential energy source whence they came.
It follows logically that the separation of the matter and antimatter was in both space and time, and geometrically speaking, was measured in light-micro-seconds, a suitably dimensioned spatial measurement that would increase steadily as the mass of both matter and antimatter increased to form the first of many universes that would spread about in space-time. After a typical universe?s half-life, the separation would turn about, and begin decreasing for the next half life, to end in an immensely stronger big bang than the minutely small beginning of that universe, which expanded so vigorously and then steadily increased while the universe matured, produced life and intelligence, then began its downward decline towards its fatal recycling through ?black? hole activities. ?Black? holes basic functions include recycling matter and antimatter by spaghettifying any form of energy and recycling it as photons, the only energy form that ever leaves ?black? holes.
The escape from the intensely strong gravitational acceleration of ?black? holes for photons is mainly via the photon jets that issue from the North and South poles of the 3D jailers. The second route is by ?perspiring? through the porous ?skin? of the ?black? holes, in what has come to be regarded as ?Hawking Radiation?.
So to sum up, there is always an exact equivalent matter-antimatter balance in a typical universe, and it?s logically sound.
ALL FORMS OF DARK ENERGY
As for matter and antimatter, a zero balance criterion applies. It?s even more obvious that, if we accept what quantum theory asserts, when it postulates that sub-atomic particles like photons are their own antiparticles, one ought to realise that both photons and anti-photons are necessarily self-cancelling, thus have no mass, and so are able to travel through the vacuum of space at light speed. To

claim that any form of dark energy or dark matter is missing is simply not logical. It is obvious that there is twice as much momentum in light rays as there seems to be, as light rays are massless, and kinetic energy needs to be accounted for appropriately for light. Just looking up at the night sky tells us that light and dark energy being perfectly balanced are what keeps the night sky black, and Olber?s light catastrophe will never happen as a result. Again, it?s all quite logical.
LIGHT and TIME
It is vital to understand fully the relationships between Light and Time. Nothing is as confusing as the philosophical arguments about this topic. In reality, there is no need to make complicated what is quite straightforward.
The Fact of Light is that it is an essential commodity in any universe that wishes to promote life as we know it. Here on Earth there are a handful of life forms that survive in the dark in caves and in the depths of the oceans, but these are not life forms that depend on combining hydrogen and oxygen. Einstein?s thought experiments very aptly describe light experiments which have been proven correct as practical physics caught up with his predictions.
One must read GJ Whitrow?s book ?What is Time? to be thrown to the wolves in confusion as the author quotes mind-boggling ideas about light, and even Stephen Hawking brought forth ideas such as imaginary time to complicate, quite unnecessarily time?s relationships with light.
Living sentient beings of all types use many different clues from light and time to decide the following truths: a) We only move from past to future via the present.
b) We cannot accurately predict the future. c) Entropy will keep increasing.
d) The shape of time is important. To boil eggs only requires six-minute lumps of time. Their shape is not important. To meet up with a space laboratory requires very accurately shaped time, using six degrees of freedom for both the rocket ship and the spacelab?s crews. And three dimensional time is required to blow smoke rings, or to play deck tennis with deck quoits. The ITER and Large Hadron Collider projects both use plasmas in toroidal reactors, but the former (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) will not succeed. It attempts the impossible by trying to confine an intensely hot plasma inside a ring-shaped solenoid, whereas the LHD compresses its much cooler sub atomic particles in an arrow of time 1 dimensional procession as it speeds the particles to very nearly the speed of light
in opposing circles round the toroidal circuit, a much simpler task.
Our most conventional use of time is as a tape measure, to record our timelines in

one dimensional space, from birth to death. If one goes off into space and does a two dimensional loop in space, no matter how long one takes to get back where one started from, one rejoins those left behind to discover that both yourself and them have only aged at the same rate. This is logical, because both you and they have used similar intervals of time to do whatever you did. So the twin who goes off into space is still the same age as his brother who was left behind, and Einstein?s paradoxical death of the twin left behind while his brother gets younger steadily while away, is pure nonsense. Another ?mystery? is thus cleared, proving the importance of time?s shape. It?s important to note that it?s the User?s responsibility to use the correct sort of timepiece for the job in hand.
COSMIC BACKGROUND RADIATION
The last topic to explain is the meaning of the Cosmic Background Radiation. This is another, and perhaps the last essential property of 4-dimensional Space-Time the reader needs to understand to decide whether this document hits the target for an acceptable explanation of the similarity between the Gravitational Acceleration Einstein put forward so eloquently, and the seemingly incompatible Quantum Theories of his peers and contemporary colleagues.
This phenomenon was discovered twice, independently, by two different two-man teams whose thought processes converged rather coincidentally. Only the more practically inclined pair was rewarded with a Nobel prize. They were busy trying to eliminate what they originally considered an annoying problem of radio noise in a 3cm radar aerial, which they put down to pigeon droppings in their antenna.
No matter how clean they got the aerial, the noise persisted. Their names were Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson. Their rivals were Robert Dicke and James Peebles, who predicted the existence of the Cosmic Background Microwave Radiation.
The ironic thing is, though, that to call it what they did, both teams, and science in general, got their description wrong. The microwave noise does not represent an event in the past. It?s continuous. It will go on forever. It is actually, a mirror reflection from the edge of time. Of course, you may well ask, what is it that?s being reflected? Every last photon that keeps pinging on the edge of time, is being reflected off a half-silvered mirror, the blackness behind the edge of time, the only thing actually on the outside of our Space-Time cocoon, the latter expanding forever as it pushes its way out of Everything into Nothing, and using up to 100% (ie Infinity!), leaving zero space for Anything Else, as it goes on and on into Eternity.

You be my judges: have we found My Holy Grail?
The tail end of this, the mirror?s tale, is that Outsiders will see Infinity as a microdot!

POSTSCRIPT
Jim Alkhalili?s explanation of the double slit experiment as ?Mother Nature?s Conjuring Trick? is a must-read key to understanding what ?black? holes do for the universe: They record the way in which they destroy all matter, so creating ever-increasing Entropy, which is the only information they contain until they expire gently and disappear as Photons into space-time.
To conclude my thoughts on the Holy Grail, imagine being Grand Observer Designate in Hyperspace, looking down on Space Time from the Edge of Eternity. What would you see? Obviously, you would need a very powerful microscope, because Infinity would have shrunk, from your exceedingly privileged viewpoint, to a microdot!
I give up! Three attempts, and the damned thing won't stick!

No, you have not found any "holy grail", you have found confusion.
