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
2
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
2

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!

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.

My Theory of Everything.

Why Infinity Isn?t Big Enough

Alan Stuart Mitchell

2024 09 16
An (AI)5 Publication

A word about my new sub-title:  It?s more meaningful than the title itself.  Infinity not being big enough is highly unlikely, and gets more attention more quickly than the 4 word Title.  Perhaps it?s presumptuous, but time will tell.  Meanwhile the real news is that the next three pages leave all readers the task of deciding for themselves how true or otherwise the 4 word Title is.  I may have solved the Unification of Gravity with Quantum Physics.  It has required no new information, but only a proper evaluation of what has been available for decades.  I attempt to explain all of this on one or two pages, in plain English, so that anyone who can read English can understand what I am writing.  This includes the Naked Science Forum?s Simpleton Reviewers.  AlanM, Fish Hoek.  2024 9 16.  18h15.SAST.

CONCLUSIONS
1.   Missing anti-matter found in Cosmic Blister Packs.

The simple fact here is that, as matter and antimatter emerge into space-time, they part ways promptly to avoid annihilating each other.  They separate not only in space, but also in time.  Matter goes forward in time, and antimatter backwards.  So all one has to do to find all the missing antimatter is to look back in time.  The reference to blister packs is simple.  The quantum of matter that erupts with its paired antimatter is blister-packed by its antimatter, entangling the two quantities of energy forming a universe in which life can evolve.  Eventually, at the half-life of every universe, the elasticity (ie gravity) of the space-time between them begins to win and gravity itself will pull the two universe components towards each other.  After the second and final half-life, as soon as matter and antimatter collide, the Grand Annihilation explosion is colossal, because the universe has been growing, along with its blister pack container, for almost an eternity.

2.Missing dark energy found in common daylight.

This is because every universe that lives and dies normally is completely destroyed.  All the energy it ever contained goes back into the Cosmos as photons.  As defined by me, the Cosmos is the space-time component comprising all solid waste energy (mass, dark energy, and any other non-photon energy) that is processed by ?black holes?.
So of course all the dark energy is now bright light, and stares everybody who bothers to look for it straight in their faces.  They are looking for dark energy and matter, not photons, so that is why I say the ?missing? dark energy isn?t missing at all, it?s just bad accounting.

3.Copious Cosmic Sources of water found in Space-Time.

This is because ?black holes? are processing solid waste continuously, and turning all energy forms like mass, into photons, which the black
2

holes either shoot back into the Cosmos from their north and south poles in massive jets of photons, or ?perspire? through their ?skins? (ie ?Hawking Radiation?).  Since Science began, people on earth have wondered where all the water on our ?Blue Planet? came from.  Now
We know that it can only be ?black holes?.  There is plenty of hydrogen that gets swallowed by black holes, so all they need to create copious quantities of water is oxygen, which they must somehow synthesise from the solid waste they consume.  You may be wondering how the water escapes from the black hole where it was generated?  Well, here?s where Hawking got it wrong again.  He was concerned to think that every black hole hides a ?naked? singularity inside itself.  That is not the case.  What he conceived as a singularity is in fact a plughole that emits water vapour into space.  At the space temperature of 2,7 Kelvin, water inside a black hole readily flashes into vapour, and can then be released through a drain into space, until it comes across a needy planet.

4.   Light?s Speed and Dimensional Limits Lifted.

I say this because light has no boundary in space-time, and so bounces back from any object it illuminates.  It obviously illuminates the edge of infinity, making a mirror-image of it.  This image is at 2,7 Kelvin, and called the ?Background Radiation? that gives speckled images on badly tuned TV screens.  Here?s a paradox:  how far away is the source of this ?Background Radiation??  It?s obvious again.  The source is right here among us.  All the photons surrounding us and travelling away from us form the source.  If we could do as Einstein imagined, and keep up with all rays of light as they speed away at light speed, we would of course die before we got anywhere near the edge of Infinity.  All we need to do to see the edge of Infinity is to photograph the Background Radiation, which was done last Century, and pictures of the Cosmos energy distribution (COBE ?maps?) are published widely in popular astronomy books.

5.Time?s Trivialities Truly Terminated.
This is just pointing out the importance of using time in the correct shape for your application.  Time is like a chameleon, it comes in whatever shape or colour the user needs it to.  To time Usain Bolt running a hundred metres, the timekeeper of choice is a stop watch.  A stopwatch is no help at all in successfully landing your rocket on a space station.  You need the full Monty on your space and time navigating kit:  Up/down forward/backward and left/right in space coordinates as well as all six matching degrees of freedom in time.  Hence we come to this conclusion on time trials being unnecessary.

6. In Time Nothing?s Imaginary, All of it is real.

Unfortunately, Hawking got this one wrong.  He kept obsessing with the square root of minus one, so some aspects of time seemed ?imaginary? to him.  Only Electrical Engineers like me are allowed to use i (the symbol for the imaginary square root of minus one).  It?s not a lot of use for us either.  It can all be done geometrically on paper in pencil, and in just two dimensions with vector addition and subtraction. Case closed.

7.   Universes Death Causes Identified.

This is explained under item 1 above.  Gravity does the dirty on all universes.  Another case closed.

8.   Essential Independent Observer Justified.

This is Philosophy 101, having nothing to do with Science at all.  If I?m not there to hear it does the falling tree make any sound at all?
Case closed.

9.   Explanation given of Mirror effect at Infinity.  See Item 1 again.
10.Holy Grail of Physics Finally Explained.
I must say this is the simplest conclusion so far.  Gravity is elevated to its pinnacle by becoming the Lord High Executioner in ?The Mikado,
4

or The Town of Titipu?, by Gilbert and Sullivan.  Gravity is just another disguise for the Mikado, as described in item 1 above.

I now close my cases completely.

That?s it Folks.

Thank you for your interest.  Alan Stuart Mitchell

POSTSCRIPT: THE STING IS IN THE TALE.
A FEW MORE MINUTES ON TIME

Shape is critical for proper use of time.  If one just wants to time H Bolt at 10 m/s, using time in 3D lumps will do.  If one needs to use time to meet a space lab in orbit, and direction is vital, use 3D arrows of time.  If one needs to expand time to travel round earth in 80 days, while only ageing by 24 hours (Jules Verne, 1873), it?s important to use circular time.  Using time in loops also solves Einstein?s twin in space paradox.  By closing in on return to earth, the twin on the spaceship arrives back as dead as his
10

brother who died years before him.  Paradox solved.  It?s like boating on Zoo Lake in Jo?burg.  ?Come in Number 13, your time is up.?  You complete your last loop, thankful to be alive.  No crocodiles in Zoo Lake after all.  Or, imagine yourself marching three abreast in a military parade.  You don?t need to look sideways, you and the blokes on either side of you know in your bones that you?re perfectly in step, whether there?s a band playing or not.  This shape of time we call the 3D smoke ring, or deck quoit shape, because it?s a toroidal shape, not a light cone shape.  The moment you close any loop in your travels around space or just shopping in town, this smoke ring shape of time has had you in its grip.  It is instinctively felt with deep relief by most travellers in time.
So time can take whatever shape is needed for the job at hand.  Egg timers only work if there?s enough gravity around.  Space crews tell time using much more modern clocks than Einstein?s generation enjoyed.  Your master clocks at Greenwich use oscillating atoms to increase their accuracy to previously unheard of accuracies, so precise that they detect the differences in time of identical clocks in skyscraper basements and in the penthouse suite.  (Gravity is ever so slightly less from bottom upwards.)

We hope this little time loop has been enlightening for everyone still reading at this stage.

MAGNETISM: THE BEST KEPT FOR LAST
Magnetism, magnetic fields, and magnets need physical inputs from all, to find what no book will tell you.  Quarks and astronomic phenomena can be demonstrated with appropriate ball magnets, copper tubes, ferrite rods, ferritic magnets, and fridge magnets.  Mine are still with me.  Only let kids use them in your presence.  I give talks on them.  I am designing a cold sun model which I may be able to miniaturise and use to show how different life might have been if magnets with just one pole had been at time?s beginning.

That?s All Folks !  Alpha Bet Gamma Group.

FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS
Before beginning these tales, we need to clarify two basic concepts of Space and Time, which all dictionaries call synonyms.  When we refer to Cosmos? (as in Cosmic), and ?Universe? (as in ?Universal?), we use these terms differently.
Cosmos we reserve exclusively for the sea of radiant light which forms the matrix in which universes can proliferate.  Universes we only use to mean the regions of Space and Time that accumulate the matter and antimatter needed to create light, time, and all other forms of energy.  The Cosmos exists solely to act as an infinite potential energy field, effectively the empty stage for all other actors in the cast of the play of life.  The Cosmos and the other players share their environment, namely all of Space and Time.  Space and Time alone (ie three physical, plus a single time dimension) are necessary and sufficient conditions to support everything needed for the Cosmos (and all its universes) to exist.  The zoos (universes) the Cosmos spawns, must live and die, but the Cosmos will not.

1.   THE TIME TRAVELLER?S TALE
Chaucer it was who shaped this narrative of how everything erupted into time and space.  Darwin sped it on its way as space and time evolved via stars, universes, galaxies, planetary systems, and space debris into the spectacular pinnacle of the Cosmos.
Next, Panspermia intervened to start human evolution, providing an observer without at least one of whom the cosmos lives unnoticed.
Their observer in place, space and time could start repelling darkness to admit light.  As matter began condensing from the blast of plasma fast expanding from its singularity in space and time, Time began its work, labelling all that emerged.
Next, gravity took charge, ordering matter to clump into suns, rocks, comets, meteors, moons, and planets, and to spin, so starting its cycles of life and time.
In time, all of life would keep evolving, and fruitlessly trying to improve what they saw about them.


2
2.  THE TIME KEEPER?S TALE
Of course, without time everything is nothing.  Can anyone progress in life without time?  Timeless, the cosmos is rudderless, useless, and unrecognisable.  Time is the all-enveloping matrix defining the extent of space-time.
All life in the cosmos depends on time to live as it was meant to do.  Life and time are symbiotic.  Timeless, the cosmos is futile.
Time is its own opposite.  It has no competition.  Light puts its gifts to good use.  Einstein was no watchmaker.  Had he ever seen an electronic clock display, he may have taken a different path in life.  Instead, he used the wrong tool for time.
If one uses a bedside clock, it soon reveals the four-fold identity that Einstein needed.  On its left side is a single digit binary clock, designed to display the number one for only three hours in twelve.  To its right are three fully functional clocks.  Apparently identical, each has a unique role, the first indicating hours twelve out of twelve, the second indicating ten minute intervals six times an hour, and the third indicating minutes all the time.  Einstein would have cried out in joy had he had such a powerful tool.  It might immediately have shown up his biggest errors about time and its measurement.  Correct interpretations of Time are vital components of his Theories of Relativity.

Assuming the extent of applicability of E = mc2 was Einstein?s second-biggest mistake.  His first was introducing his concept of a finite space-time matrix, to prevent his universe from expanding.  He was to recant later in life, after the work of Edwin Hubble showed that the extent of the universe was accelerating. 
Einstein also said space could not expand without matter, but did say the topic needed further discussion.  It is now accepted that all is expanding into eternity.
Being everyone?s perfect attendant, time seems omnipresent, and even omnipotent, like a cosmic observer would have to be.  The implication is that time knows no limits.
?Spooky Action at a Distance? is the best example we have of time disregarding the obvious.  There is no difference between being invisibly wrapped in a gravitational well like a so-called black hole, and being invisible like a Higgs boson lost in its massively curved miniature space-time matrix that needed a hugely expensive and powerful international project like CERN in Geneva to crack open.
3
Now, unlike the Cosmos, universes have their individual times because they contain mass, without which no life is possible.
Here endeth the Time Traveller?s Tale.
3. THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER?S TALE
As Time became more expensive, telemetry developed, and remote control and electricity solved all their problems, lighthouse keepers were paid off.
Still, without light, there can be no darkness, for how else could there be the required balance in the cosmos?  Light and dark have to stay balanced, as is the case for all energy forms in the cosmos.  The Cosmos, being the only infinitely distributed potential energy mine, we can also view as a cosmic refrigerator. Always at just 2,7 degrees Kelvin, it is an ideal environment for vacuum packing the infinitely many photons that form the majority of the potential light energy in the Cosmos.  More about Photons in the next Section.
So, here endeth this Section too.
4.THE PHOTON?S TALE
Light is quite ubiquitous.  There are no curtains in the cosmos, only its descendants produce shadows, to ensure that enough darkness is produced to balance the blinding white light the photons create as they shiver away in their frozen state of uncertainty (Heisenberg?s insight). 
Photons are delightful.  They are massless, pull twice their (non-existent) weight, and travel at the usual speed of light in universes.  (In the Cosmos zone of Space-Time, light has no upper speed limit, as we show in the Timekeeper?s Tale.)
The weight of an item depends on the local acceleration of gravity.  In space, and remote from mass concentrations, scales don?t work.  So your mass is practically impossible to determine.  All you can do is assume that your shape is staying much the same as it was when you got into your spaceship on earth.  You could be dangerously wrong, because bone density and muscle tissue can drop rather quickly unless you do your daily workouts in the gym.
Because they travel together at the speed of light and are massless, the matter- antimatter partners have zero net energy.  They are self-propelled by Maxwell?s

4
Inter-acting electric and magnetic fields.  Though they have no net mass, they do have momentum.  This gives them the thrust they need to accelerate.  Only the impedance of free space impedes their progress, and keeps their speed constant in the vacuum.  When measured in vacuum, the impedance is 377ohms exactly.
Their share of the dark energy said to be missing consists only of shadows cast by surrounding obstacles.  These absorb momentum energy and become slightly warmer than their surroundings.  The warmth then leaks into the ambient vacuum, and onward into the Cosmos.  It is not lost, but only seems to have been.  Another enduring mystery is hereby solved.
Here Endeth the Photon?s Tale.
5. THE TELEPORTER?S TALE
Teleportation was another of Hawking?s distractions.  He was severely handicapped by his motor neuron disease, so had to make do without his hands.  All he had left of his faculties comprised vital functions essential for life.  His work is well recorded, but not his fun and games, an omission he attended to in later life.
6. THE MERMAID?S TALE
Mermaids were imaginary, like one of Hawking?s examples of time.  This was yet another of his fantasies, and needs Occam?s razor urgently.  Remember that all time ends at the boundary (yes, there isn?t one!) of the cosmos.  Now you can immediately see what Hawking ought to have seen:  The cosmos can best be described as a boundless spheroidal shape.  It would be a perfect orb if it spun. 
(How would an observer decide the Cosmos was spinning?  In the Cosmos there cannot be any angular momentum, because there is no space for an anti-cosmos.  In any case, the Cosmos itself looks after all its own antimatter.  To complete this train of thought, reflect that the Cosmos needs no Space-Time for an anti-cosmos twin, because it is its own anti-cosmos, being purely photon-based!)
With Time being three dimensional at will, nothing imaginary is called for.  If you want to play in two dimensional time, flat paper charts and graphs (all two dimensional) they can be fun (like crosswords and Sudoku puzzles).  If you?re only able to stay in one dimensional space, there is simply no room to move, except forward, reverse and stop.  Unless you?re infinitely thin, you can?t fit in at all.
Here endeth this lesson.
5
5. THE ROC?S TALE
An extinct bird sets the scene for the demises of universes.  The cosmos being immortal, how do its progeny fare?  The short answer is ?As well as they deserve to.?  Here?s where the Scriptures make their mark.  The balance between Good and Evil is what this is all about. It may be a vain pursuit to assert, as organisations such as Green Peace, the World Wildlife Fund, and the Climate Change Agonists, do, when they suggest that mere mortals can do enough harm to Gaia to cause her downfall.  We contend that the only life form that will intentionally self-destruct is going to be so-called ?Humanity?.
6. TALES OF THE HOT AND COLD
Gino Segre?s book (see Bibliography) gives us our name for this new Section.
We allege that Stephen Hawking?s writings on black holes are rather antediluvian.
The black holes he writes about are alarmingly close to perpetual motion machines,
But they do have losses of energy.  They perspire, losing heat by perspiration, which Hawking found to be Hawking radiation.
They also lose a great deal of photon energy, which escapes from their poles, as most of them need to emit focussed beams of photons, called Maser energy.  No mass emerges, only photon energy does. 
So those are two functions of ?black holes?:  1). ?Pickitup? ie absorb solid waste, and 2).dump it in the Cosmos after purifying it into pure light, massless and taking up no space at all!
We propose a third function that nobody has thought of so far:  ?Black Holes? are like massive producers of distilled water for their universes.  Hawking would have been delighted to hear us suggesting this.  He might have been rather upset by our simultaneously crossing out another of his fantasies, his obsession with ?Naked singularities hidden in his ?black holes?.
As compensation, we have decided that naked singularities, no longer needed for the tasks he allocated to them, are just what we require the copious quantities of water that emerge from black holes to emerge from as the evaporated water launches itself into space-time from these huge distilleries.
As an aside, note that there is plenty of hydrogen throughout space-time, but the black hole distilleries do have to synthesise their own oxygen.  Synthesis of
6
oxygen on a large scale requires prodigious electrical power, but inside black holes that?s no problem because mass is being converted into photons in enormous amounts per second, and has to be consumed instantly because the background at 2,7 degrees Kelvin is not permitted to rise by even a few nanodegrees Kelvin as that violates the zero energy release dictum of the Cosmos.
Our previous concerns about the seemingly random nature of the lifetimes of universes can now be laid to rest.  Just as all forms of life in universes die in some normally random sets, so do universes die.  They suffer from random rates of ageing just as we do.  The range of ages at time of death starts at birth, and ends mainly in old age, with a bell shaped curve in between.
In universes, the main cause of death by ageing is shortening of the space-time dimension between the eggs and their contents.  It?s as if the Cosmic Zookeepers run out of vitamins to keep their captive eggs in proper health, and have to choose a convenient moment to inject a lethal dose or press the red button that briefly energises the electric chair.  In any event, death is instantaneous and again will light up whole galaxies in the Cosmos to ensure no variations in the zero energy edict of the Cosmos.
On the topic of universal deaths, only three likely space-time endings have been proposed so far: a) The quiet cold hypothermia death; b) The Big Crunch Death; c) The Big Bang Death.  We propose a fourth:  A Colossal Big Bang Death.  The biggest bang imaginable would arise if all a universe?s anti matter were simultaneously to bump into its matter.  Please note this can only happen in universes.  We are really serious when we say, universes in the cosmos are concentrations of mass, but the cosmos is made up of photons alone.
Here endeth this tale as well.
7. THE COSMIC EGG?S TALE
Cosmic Eggs hatching out of empty space from time to time are most appropriate and relate well to our topic.  Feynman?s remark ?positrons moving backwards in time are like electrons moving forward in time? is our key.
These facts inspired ALPHA BETA GAMMA GROUP to propose that every plasma cloud would need to grow a protective antimatter shell around itself as it emerged into the vacuum of space, as if it were a living, sentient being.

8
From mono-cellular organisms (cells) to baby elephant zygotes, every successful blastomere has managed this step properly by being sure to have all surrounding anti-matter form a shell that moves back in time to avoid annihilation.  After this the shell and egg are fully entangled to travel everywhere together, but close enough in space time to react against unwanted intruders in micro-seconds of real time.
A typical space-time gap would be about 10 light-seconds or so.  All universe?s Causa Mortis most likely end as described here. 
Here endeth the 7th lesson
8. THE HOLY GRAIL OF PHYSICS TALE
The Holy Grail of Physics is to find out how to unify Albert Einstein?s work on Gravity with that of his peers on Quantum Gravity.  This was solved at a stroke in 2012, when Nobel Physics Prize winners in 2013 for this work, Peter Higgs and Francois Englert were recognised for their work in this field.
The odd things about this boson are its main function, and that it is the only boson without its own anti-boson.  All other bosons have anti-twin brothers or sisters.
So the Holy Grail is no longer a mystery.  It lies hidden only because no-one at CERN had their eyes open at the time.  Had they been awake, they may at once have seen the connection between massive astronomical objects and their miniscule cousins, the Higgs bosons.  The former massive objects distort space time near them.  The Higgs bosons inject mass into sub-atomic particles in the Higgs fields.
Here endeth the 10th and Final Lesson.
9. CONCLUSIONS

Missing dark energy found in common daylight.

Light?s Speed and Dimensional Limits Lifted.

Cosmos Case Closed? Light?s Limits Lifted? Time?s Trials Trivialised?
Teatime?s Treats Tripled?
Alan Stuart Mitchell
9/1/2024
Ask the right questions and the right answers suggest themselves. Which is how Alpha Beta Gamma Group was formed and operated. Our modus operandi is perfection personified. We keep it all as simple as possible, but no simpler. This work is an example. It uses just nine chapters, describes nine achievements, and reaches nine conclusions, in tying up the Cosmos Case, while solving the Unification of Gravity with Quantum Physics, the Holy Grail of Physical Science and Astronomy. Enjoy the read. It?s the briefest History of the Cosmos you?ll ever find. You first saw it here, courtesy of us, the Mitchell Family group spanning three generations, from Grandpa Alan (9 x 9 years old), via Graeme (53 years old), to Jesse Alan (2 x 9 years old). All not the dimmest of light sources.

1.THE TIME TRAVELLER?S TALE
Chaucer it was who shaped this narrative of how everything erupted into time and space. Darwin sped it on its way as space and time evolved via stars, universes, galaxies, planetary systems, and space debris into the spectacular pinnacle of the Cosmos.
Next, Panspermia intervened to start human evolution, thus providing the Grand Observer Designate, (whose Three Letter Acronym we leave to you the reader to find) to be the essential reporter on how the Cosmos attained its immortality.
With their observer in place, space and time were then able to begin pushing back darkness to admit light. As matter began condensing from the blast of plasma that rapidly expanded from the initially frozen pin ***** singularity Hawking describes so graphically, the Dragon of light emerged to oppose the Prince of Darkness, and share space and time, forever locked in their zero energy embrace.
Next, gravity took charge, ordering the matter to clump into suns, rocks, comets, meteors, moons, and planets, and to spin, thus beginning cycles of life and time.
In due course, all forms of life would evolve, and keep doing so, while life?s most cancerous of growths, humanity, went forth, multiplied, and covered the face of the Earth, at the behest of the Grand Old Dominatrix, obsessed as she has been with beginning all newe problems of life.
So here endeth the traveller?s tale, in an equal and balanced mix of Despair and Happiness, destined to add up to exactly zero, to obey the Cosmos?s Commands.
2. THE TIME KEEPER?S TALE
Of course, without Time Everything is Nothing. How can anyone go forward in life without time? A timeless Cosmos is rudderless, useless, and doomed to an unrecognised immortality. Time is actually an all-enveloping nutshell that defines the Immortality of the Cosmos.
So begins the Time Traveller?s Tale, as described in exquisite detail by Stephen Hawking. Father Time, as he is still described by the few remaining humans who retain the basics of literacy, prescribes the lifetimes of everything in the Cosmos that lives. Without life, time has no other function with which to occupy itself. A timeless Cosmos is rather futile, as nobody would be around to describe it, with not an audience in sight.
2
Time is its own opposite. It has no competitors. It?s a law unto itself. This has always puzzled Philosophers. Like lawyers and accountants, philosophers have no useful functions in life, except perhaps, expensively parting with useless advice to willing victims.
But Light puts its useful gifts to good use. It ignores attempts by humans like Einstein to limit its speed. E = mc2 was Einstein?s biggest mistake, of which there were more than a few. He also said space could not expand without matter. How daft is that? The whole Cosmos is empty, but keeps growing exponentially.
We return to our theme on Time. If it needs to be in more than one place at the same time, it just does it, like Nike. If you think about it that can be interpreted as saying its speed limit has been elevated to infinity. At the ?boundary? of the Cosmos, it?s the same time all around an infinite loop. That means Einstein was wrong to be concerned about so-called ?Spooky Action at a Distance?. Not only quantum particles, but also the entire Cosmos can be encircled by Father Time.
Now, unlike the Cosmos, universes have their individual times because they contain mass, so in universes life forms would find all Einstein?s equations acceptable. There?s no more we need to say about Time, so here endeth the Time Traveller?s Tale.
3. THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER?S TALE
Lighthouse keepers expired as Time became more expensive, telemetry developed, and remote control and electricity solved all their problems.
Still, without light, there can be no darkness, for how else could there be the required balance in the Cosmos? Light and dark are required to stay balanced, as is the case for any forms of energy in the cosmos. The Cosmos being the supplier of (first and) last resort, uses only one source of energy, the ceaseless jittering of tiny particles of energy, called photons, always frozen, so always shivering around their anchor points so freely available in space and time. They never run out, so we call them potential energy, always in stock.
Light is quite ubiquitous. There are no curtains in the Cosmos, only obstacles whose function is to produce shadows. The shadows darkness matches exactly the supply of light. (Have you not heard this before, somewhere?)
Now that the larder?s full, here endeth the Lighthouse Keeper?s Tale.
4
4. THE PHOTON?S TALE
Photons are delightful. They are massless, pull twice their (non-existent) weight, and travel at the universally accepted maximum pace of light. (Note that in the Cosmos we just lifted that limit to infinity. See item 3 above.)
We must expand a bit about that weight issue. Weight is an incomplete description. To weigh anything, it has to be accelerated by whatever it is in or on. In your bathroom it?s Planet Earth that accelerates you exactly as much as you accelerate it, which was Isaac Newton?s first awakening to Gravity.
In a Spaceship, which is all around you, ( rather like a Faraday Cage which screens you against lightning strikes), you are protected against gravitational waves, feeble though they be. It?s like being in a metal car or airplane in a thunderstorm. You?re perfectly safe.
To sum up, Weight is incomplete because you have to multiply your mass in kilograms by your acceleration in g, the force of gravity on earth. Just use 10 metres/s/s (it?s actually 9,8 metres/s/s, but your scale isn?t as accurate as that.)
The photon?s biggest and most important property is its self-sufficiency. It consists not only of matter, but also of anti-matter. It?s the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde of particles. So self-sufficient is it that it manages to conceal its existence from human eyes by staying outside them. That?s why our eyes are the tiniest black holes, with irises as their event horizons. The pupils are not for emitting light, but only for admitting it. To gain admittance, only light reflected from anything hits the target, to let you see.
Because they travel together at the speed of light and are massless, so the matter antimatter partners have no net energy.. They are self-propelled by Maxwell?s interacting electric and magnetic fields. Though they have no net mass, they do have momentum. This gives them the thrust they need to accelerate. Only the impedance of free space impedes their progress, keeping their speed constant in the vacuum.
Their share of the dark energy that is said to be missing consists only of shadows cast by surrounding obstacles. These absorb momentum energy and become slightly warmer than their surroundings. The warmth then leaks into the ambient vacuum, and onward into the Cosmos.
Here endeth the Photon?s Tale.

5. THE TELEPORTER?S TALE
Teleportation was another of Hawking?s distractions. He was severely handicapped by his motor neuron disease, so had to make do without his hands. All he had left of his faculties comprised vital functions essential for life. His work is well recorded, but not his fun and games. Much of what he wrote in later life was meant to remedy that lack.
No longer writing Science papers and articles after his retirement, he worked hard at informing his lay public audiences. His beautifully illustrated later books are loaded with fantastic computer-generated images of ?black holes?, teleportation of people, and many other imaginative pictures.
Entertaining as they are, crusty old humans of every hue and colour find his imaginings a bridge too far to cross. So the teleporter?s tale ends here with Churchill?s snide remark that ?this is the sort of nonsense up with which we should not put!?
6. THE PROFESSOR?S TALE
University Professors are an under-graduate student?s worst nightmare. Being totally besotted with their latest fantasies, they become absolutely isolated in their white tower offices. Even their PA has little to do for her boss, other than typing up the odd (very) manuscript or perhaps a tape or two from her Dictaphone (whatever happened to good old Pitman?s shorthand?)
What professors are very good at is easing their distraught charger?s batteries. I never met a sourpuss professor. They always entered their lecture rooms with a smiley face, full of bonhomie and grace. At UCT Department of Electrical Engineering, we had only one professor in charge, Roland Guelke, an acoustician of note.
Richard Feynman?s early life was much influenced by his professors. They ranged from unhinged, through unintelligible to the highest levels imaginable. At the age of 28, he became acquainted with Albert Einstein, who listened to and approved of his first lecture to Princeton University in New Jersey, USA in 1946.
Feynman was respected by Niels Bohr, among about a dozen other experts he met at the Los Alamos project team. Niels Bohr told his son Aage that he admired the young Feynman for being so engrossed in his physics talks to superiors that he
7
would freely stop if senior staff disagreed with him, then put them right, firmly and politely
From our point of view, Professors worth their salt should all be Leaders of the Pack, top dogs, and cheerful chaps, with Field Marshall?s batons in their packs.
Frankly, this all has absolutely nothing to do with the Cosmos. So here endeth the Professor?s Tale.
6. THE GALACTIC TRAVELLER?S TALE
Galactic Travellers have always been wealthy boffins like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Mark Shuttleworth, and Sir Richard Branson. From our point of view, they had absolutely nothing to do with the Cosmos Case, so shoo, the lot of you.
Here endeth the Spastic Galactics? Tale.
7. THE COSMIC EGG?S TALE
Cosmic Egg?s hatching out of empty space from time to time are most appropriate and nicely relate to our topic. Again, Feynman?s remark ?positrons moving backwards in time are like electrons moving forward in time? is our key.
These facts inspired ALPHA BETA GAMMA GROUP to propose that every plasma cloud would need to grow a protective antimatter shell around itself as it emerged into the vacuum of space, as if it were a living, sentient being. From mono-cellular organisms (cells) to baby elephant zygotes, every successful blastomere has managed this step properly by being sure to have all surrounding anti-matter form a shell that moves back in time to avoid annihilation. After this the shell and egg are fully entangled to travel everywhere together, but close enough in space time to react against unwanted intruders in micro-seconds of real time.
A typical space-time gap would be about 10 light-seconds or so.
Here endeth the 8th lesson
8. THE HOLY GRAIL OF PHYSICS TALE
The Holy Grail of Physics is to find out how to unify Albert Einstein?s work on Gravity with that of his peers on Quantum Gravity. This was solved at a stroke in
8
2012, when Nobel Physics Prize winners in 2013 for this work, Peter Higgs and Francois Englert were recognised for their work in this field.
The secret of the Holy Grail lived on, until our Group realised that nobody involved in those days realised that this unusual boson held the key to the Holy Grail?s location (in Ethiopia?). The odd things about this boson are its main function, and that it is the only boson without its own anti-boson. All other bosons have anti-twin brothers (or sisters, if you?re fuzzy).
So the Holy Grail is no longer a mystery. It lies hidden only because no-one at CERN had their eyes open at the time. Had they been awake, they may at once have seen the connection between massive astronomical objects and their miniscule cousins, the Higgs bosons. The former massive objects distort space time near them. The Higgs bosons inject mass into sub-atomic particles in the Higgs fields.
Here Endeth the 9th and Final Lesson in this issue of Alpha Beta Gamma?s tales.

New Theories / Re: Isn’t dark energy & mass explained by power line theory & energy conservation?

« on: 27/04/2019 08:34:14 »

(Not) the Last Word on this topic, surely?

With Ruby and Zahra moving on to bigger things, I think this probably is time to leave this theory of everything to its own devices.  It has turned out far, far simpler than I originally thought it might.

All that is needed to make the original conjecture simpler to answer, is to change it very slightly, and make it Alan M’s Assertion:  (ie, as Monty Python would have had it: “Cross out ‘contecture’ in pencil, and write ‘assertion’.)

So, the way to phrase the conjecture better, might be:

Dark energy and matter aren’t missing – they are just not there for all to see.  This is easily explained by conservation of momentum, and basic optics and electrotechnics.  So it has all been done by all whose thoughts and writings appear in the really simple textbooks, from Archimedes through, inter alia, Gallileo, Newton, Einstein , Feynman, and Hawking, to the present, on matters arithmetical, scientific.  It has been great making this all clear to the next generation, thanks to inspiration from Ruby and Zahra.  I commend their passions for science and the truth.

Stay humble, remember – anything humankind can show, Nature can show better, after all.

Now that we have a photo of the light scattered around (ie 'lensed by') a convenient super-massive black hole, here's today's interpretation for your edification:
Black Holes aren't black. They are perfectly transparent.
Please realise that your eyes are not up to seeing any light that is leaving you. So not only can you see a black hole portal. All the light going into that portal, from your point of view, is 'black' light.
Because the night sky is black too, your eyes CAN ONLY see the TINY fraction of the spectrum, the VISIBLE LIGHT SPECTRUM, emitted by everything around you, DIRECTLY AT YOUR PUPILS.
So, there is NO "MISSING DARK MATTER, OR MISSING DARK ENERGY" at ALL !

Question of the Week / Re: QotW - 19.02.18 - Why does alcohol make you drunk?

« on: 27/02/2019 09:49:29 »

Let's focus on the question, rather than what the question ought to be.  "Why does alcohol make you drunk ?".  The answer obviously depends on who 'you' is. (Yes, 'is'.)  Obviously, I can only answer on behalf of me.  Think about how boring that would be to just about everybody else on the planet, if they had even read this far.  Sorry to disappoint so few people, but alcohol doesn't do it for me.  Only I can make me drink, and no-one has ever wanted to drink me, which would make me drunk.  So drink up, drink up, and use an Uber or some other taxi of friend, if you still have the sense.  Cheers, Alan M, Seaforth.

New Theories / Re: Could the strong nuclear force and gravity be the same force?

2019 02 27 Naked Science Forum Topic: (Isn’t it time to change the title, and add Ruby to Alan M and Zahra ?)
An Energetic Interpretation (‘Demo’ ?) of an Awful Lot of Science -
And ALL (well, nearly all) of it done in a century NOT too long ago !
© Zahra, Ruby, and Alan M, Hoedspruit, West Sussex, and Seaforth, Simon’s Town.
Here’s today’s suggestion for a complete demo kit (I hope to complete my own, with only one or two models needed as additions to my existing garage (black hole) stock of magnets, copper pipes, coloured lasers, mirrors, lenses, and so-on and so-on).
1.   Photons, electrons, and black ‘holes’: Pith Balls, coloured silver, white, and black (shiny and matt).
2.   Quarks: Ball magnets, variously coloured but especially red, green, blue, silver and black.
3.   Branes: Fridge magnets, about 5cm by 5cm, preferably not too thick, and plain (free of paint or any other attachments or contamination).
4.   Strings: Five or more ball (spherical) magnets (too big to swallow), in polished sintered neodymium iron, bi coloured (one colour for “Up” and the other for “Down” (say, black and white.) Another 5 or more, encased in plastic, and in colours red (for ‘Top’), yellow (for ‘Bottom’), green (for ‘strange’), blue (for ‘charmed’), and, as already mentioned, black (for ‘Up’), and white (for ‘Down’).
5.   Photon momentum: One of those little “perpetuum mobile” machines, ie small vertical-axis horizontally rotating impulse turbine bladed rotors (protected in a transparent dome from air wind but exposed to solar radiation wind), each paddle silver (totally reflective) on its front (sunward) side and matt black (totally light absorbent) on its dark side.
6.   Electron fields: A couple of blown-up balloons coloured blue (for “negatively charged”) and preferably made of really tough plastic so their “fabric of the cosmos” isn’t easily ripped or popped.  And if the balloons aren’t perfectly spherical, they are just as they should be.  Only a really isolated electron’s field can be a perfect sphere.  And only a really isolated universe can be a perfect (well, almost perfect) sphere.
7.   Black ‘holes’ (they aren’t really black at all, and neither are they holes. Nor are they holograms, for that matter (excuse the pun):  For final recognition of the Flat Earth Society, please admit that the portals into “Black holes” ARE two dimensional.  (Well, again, ALMOST two dimensional.)  The edges of ANY point like, flat or spherical energy quantum, from gravitinos, magnetrinos, and electrinos to really large structures like solar systems, galaxies, and a(ny) universe(s) are inevitably uncertain, as explained by Max Planck in 1900 or so.
8.   Twinned “Matter verse” / “Anti matter verse” pairs:  Soap bubble kits or intersecting spherical glass or plastic bubbles.  They nicely show the two-dimensional (if flat) or three dimensional (if a lens) portals between “Black holes”.
9.   Photon generators: Cheap laser and led devices.  These are great for demonstrating photon and gamma ray phenomena like X-rays, visible  and invisible light skin penetration, infra red and ultra violet heat transfer rates, standing waves and other energy storage myths.
10.   And for the rest: A miscellany of batteries (single use chemical and re chargeable), safe (non short circuitable) conductors and insulators (dielectrics), switches, variable resistors, inductors and capacitors, quite often perfectly sourced from your weekly ‘recyclables’.
So there we will stop (for the moment).

A Big THANKYOU to all @ The Naked Scientists.  Zahra, Ruby and I hope this latest reply to ourselves will assist you all in your endeavours to spread a little SCIENCE where it's needed.  See our next BIG Question, in honour of SIR (seriously Ignored Reasoner) Stephen Hawking.  Your humble Z,A,R (South African and aged Seaforthian Reasoners at the cutting edge of African Space).  Have a Happy Happy Day.

New Theories / Re: Could the strong nuclear force and gravity be the same force?

« on: 08/02/2019 06:41:24 »

How about this for a suggestion ? Appologies to Goscinny and Uderzo)

“Gravity is the strong force, and is moderated by magnetism.”

Max Planck in 1900 showed the arbitrariness of scales.  His Planck dimensions show us how to deal with those.
Albert Einstein by 1955 had wrapped up relativity of everything.  Most of can get that.
Fred Hoyle long ago had provided us with the pesky constant of gravitation which is the steady state of the universe.
Richard Feynman was next to put Dirac’s antimatter into context with a few words about antimatter travelling backwards in time.
About a year ago a newbie called Alan M started agitating about magnets, thanks to his grandchild Zahra.

Now consider magnetrix and electrix, today’s names for the basix of everything.  Not particlix or waveletix, but quantumix.
In my garage (a typical black hole, if ever there was one) I have magnets (ball-shaped are the best) making macromodels of the magnetrix doing amazing things.  I defy anyone to pull apart my button-shaped macromagnetix.  The only way to part these amazingly strong ferrite-concentrated stringsix  is by sliding them apart.  I have steel-coated ferrite-concentrated macromagnetix that have been slid apart often when I put on and take off my member name badge for meetings of the Probus Club of Simon’s Town.  The steel coatings are a little rough as a result.  Now it is getting difficult to even slide those little buttonmagentix concentrations sideways past each other, so intensely is the ‘force’ we call friction concentrated by magnetismix.

I should include a few photos of my magnets, but as time is short here in Seaforth today, perhaps you could build your own mental pictures of what I have my macromagnetix doing down below:

A single one is modelling a ‘dimensionless’ dot (ie: the beginning of a dimensionless string).  Two together are modelling a string, and will continue to latch onto as many others as I have macromagnetix to add.  But it gets much more pleasing when one realises that three together will very stably make a triangle (ie: my magnetic stringthingys readily go two-dimensional).  And, YES ! Four together WILL go three-dimensional and make a tetrahedron,  the first Platonic solid !  You have probably guessed by now that those same four very readily go back to a stable two-dimensional square.  They are adherents of Mark Shuttleworth.  Obviously.  (“It’s HIP to be square”)

Next step:  Add another macromagnetix.  Now you have five.  Yes, they will get together in two dimensions, and make a pentagon.  But five together won’t co-operate and go symmetrically into a hexahedron or if you like, a cube.  Add a sixth, and the string readily becomes a hexagon.  Now they like each other enough to do another three-dimensional Platonic solid.  It is a twisted cube.  I don’t know what I should call that, but any way you look at it, you see three balls on the far side, and three balls on the near side.  It must be an octohedron.

Now add a seventh.  What I have now in two dimensions, is a dot in the middle, tightly surrounded by six siblings.  A body-centred hexagon, I suppose describes it neatly.  The three-dimensional solid is not perfect.  It has a wobbly number 7 member.  So Plato has no claim on this one.  There is definitely a ‘mass’ ‘ambiguity’, but if one ignores it as too small to bother with, one could call the whole lump of balls a slightly flattened octohedron.  You now have to add multiple magnetic balls to get to the next Platonic solid.  I don’t have enough to do it properly.

So let’s just leave it there for the (magnetic) moment.  Sorry (like not really) about the ‘pun’.

Back to my question:  What say y’all ?  The Magnetrixs on the Left have it ?  (Or do the Anti-Magnetrixes on the Right have it, actually ?)

In my humble opinion, it is balanced perfectly, like the universe and its anti-universe.

New Theories / Re: Could the strong nuclear force and gravity be the same force?

« on: 26/01/2019 11:34:58 »

Here's a little question for you all:  What if Stephen Hawking's decision to pay the man who bet him he (Stephen) was wrong to say the Higgs boson(s) were superfluous ?
Today I tend to aver that Stephen won that bet when he floated that idea.  Often repeated is the idea that mathematics is too precise to mean anything to the masses (I mean folks like me who, like Michael Faraday, stand in awe of Maxwell, Einstein, Feynman and a world of other chaps whose gedanken-experiments (mostly last century) were and are done with esoteric symbols, and fearsomely elegant theorems.  Einstein, Hoyle, and Feynman have said it all very simply, long ago. Neither they nor Stephen have managed to stitch the whole picture together in a way that simple engineers could assimilate. I will be going back to my very first conjecture to put a couple more conjectures down that may reinforce my contentions about where exactly all the dark stuff is very much entangled with the whole universe, gravity is not as different from the strong force, and quanta are not as particular as previously imagined.  I intend expanding the way I have been  disambiguating quarks, quarkinos, photons, photinos, neutrinos, gravitons and gravitinos.  More later (see said topics).

Oops – there I went again.  Never put your book down without at least finishing the current chapter.  By the time I got to page 114 all order had been restored, and my faith in Stephen’s posthumous publishers was back on track.

All I can add at this stage, is to say that I am doing all I can to tell people in public talks the good news.  There is no more mystery, all the dark stuff said to have been missing for so long has been properly accounted for by Stephen’s lucid prose about negative and positive energy and creation.  Let Mitchell’s Magical Myth Busting continue at full steam.

Just a suggestion:  Do what Stephen Hawking couldn't.  Play with a few spherical magnets, including non-magnetised ball bearings of different sizes, like I and my granddaughter Zahra have.  The first thing that might strike you (painfully) on one of your digits is a pair of magnets.  This is called the Engineering Approach.  It led me to my first conjecture, via the thought that magnetism isn't granular, but divisible into ever-decreasing quanta until we get to the ultimate form that Maxwell calculated all those years ago.  Massless magnetism is what we can discern as quarks.  We have given quarks six flavours - up/down, charmed/strange/ and top/bottom.  One pair of those just means north/south magnetism. Another just means back/wards/forwards relative to time. And the third pair is just clockwise spin/anticlockwise spin.
So
You might connect all that to the thought that nothing curves space more strongly than magnetism.  But wait.  Consider the mighty electron. Look at an atom of hydrogen. The proton consists of three quarks, two ups and a down (or maybe that should be two downs and an up. It doesn't really matter. One's an antiquark, closely entangled with its quark.  there is no more mysterious thing than the ability for the positive charge of the proton to be cancelled by a single electron buzzing around that proton like a bee in a cathedral. The electron can't really fly about fast enough to quite do the job. Its willing assistent, the almost massless something-ino, has to help out.  Whether the -ino is a gravitino, a neutrino, or a magnetrino is the question that needs to be decided.
I tend to think that that the -ino has to add a bit more negativity, rather than gravity or positronity to cancel the positivity of the three matter/antimatter quarks.  Adding quarkinos is not an answer either, though I'm often wrong about arithmetic, never mind mathematics.
Well, I hope this is helpful.
By the way, the Final Book published on behalf of Stephen rather startled me when I got to Nelson (page 111 in cricketing jargon).  The statement that black holes can't emit anything has to be a mistake.  Hawking radiation does exist. Quasars and neutron stars are detected by polar gamma rays doing gymnastics in space. Two colliding black holes have been detected because their polar radiation causes ripples in the fabric of space.  From our universe to our entangled anti-universe we have anti-radiation and anti-matter streaming through the black hole portal, so looked from inside the black hole (well, it has to be a sphere to be symmetrical with us, doesn't it?) the anti-matter life forms would never say our 'white' hole (no 'racism' intended, it's really just a word that implies 'anti-black' hole).
If you would like to see how all my conjecturing began, try the Naked Science Forum topics 713717 (symmetry there, eh ?) and the new theory the Naked Scientists made it, Topic 71376 (and Many Thanks to them) .
  Best Wishes, AlanM (and from Zahra too, of course.)

2018 July 17   The Executive Summary - as a reward for those, if any, who have reached this conclusion before.  (Probably only Stephen Hawking?)

Light speed isn't infinite because electromagnetic radiation isn't massless, and empty space isn't empty anymore.
 
Well, there was of course no primordial vacuum to start with, because the extension of space only began when Fred Hoyle's theory said that atoms (or, to use Murray Gell-Mann's language instead, quarks and anti-quarks) just appeared (and keep appearing) out of the infinite potential energy bank we call nothing.

It was the Grand Observer Designate's first throw of his dice, if you like that way of putting it.  The Grand Observer(or is that Observers?) Designate would have had to be the first and only ever time traveller(s), who left home one day in a relative way, and arrived at the centre of our universes the previous night, so that he (or they?) could see to the creation of light.  Those (continually appearing) quarks and their  antiquarks all spat (spit) out  their net energy cancelling charges, the chaperones that were (are) inhibiting their needs to get together.  Those ejected chaperones we now call electrons and positrons each flew (fly) into their (very) high temperature rage(es), each of them buzzing around their quark-antiquark twosomes and threesomes that condensed (are always condensing) out of the quark vapour to form protons, and neutrons. In this manner, clouds of hydrogen were (are) created, and once the single protons began (begin) getting together, the rest is pure chemistry and all sorts of things, including life, can emerge in time.  I hope pure is an acceptable term for chemistry.

As Stephen Hawking wagered, and was persuaded (or was he?) that he had lost, there is no need for a Higgs Boson.  He could have added that there is no need for any bosons, or any other theoretical particles, if one tells it all as it is.  Physics is the science of the real.  Mathematics has simply too much of the imaginary in it for most people, and chemistry has almost always been totally incomprehensible to just about everyone.  Like the lives chemistry makes possible.

So Einstein was right, as was his Noble prize.  He deserved one, whatever aspect of his work (fun?) one looks at. There is no more mystery about the missing 1/2 in energy being mass times light speed squared.  The sum of the dark stuff and the light stuff is always zero, which simply means they are the equals of each other, but of the opposite hand.  Yin and Yang, the Wrong handed and the right handed.  In spin, in polarity, in whatever energy form you can think of, it has always been constrained by the law of the conservation of energy.  Everything must always balance, all the time, everywhere.

Hoyle was also right.  Thingies like loops and dots and stringies do arrive out of nowhere.  This they did originally,  and will continue to do, ad infinitum.  Hoyle deserved a Nobel Prize for many different contributions to the Theory of Everything.

Feynman was right.  Positrons (anti-electrons) are like electrons travelling backwards in time.  There is nothing wrong about normalising infinities.  It is, though, not right to suppress any zeros.  Climatologists and weathermen take note.
Stick to degrees Kelvin, as true scientists should.

  The mass isn't missing at all, we simply can not see the dark side.  How can you see any light light that is not coming towards the two little black holes in your eyes?  A look at the night sky should show you how much dark light there actually is.  Its adds up to a massive majority from our point of view.  But if you choose the darkest unlit sky, it begins to turn to silver, and you will begin to appreciate how we look to any seers from the dark side.

And black holes are not totally black.  They can gleam and have a glint.  The glint is silver too.

Nil desperandum.  It really is all there.  There's no need to despair.
