A flat universe? https://futurism.com/the-byte/universe-actually-flat. Chances are they are looking at the 2d (Data) part of a Universe 3dApp (the other parts being 3d Display - Space and 4d Datastore - Spacetime).

Flat as in 2d flat. Computer programs are 2d in nature. What appears on your computer screen is usually a table of pixels in the program (raster graphics). The pixels may be generated via 2d polygons (vector graphics). A 3dApp is part of the 3dAbstractions framework that can be used to simulate reality. It is a Windows 10 App written in the VB.Net programming language. It is a type of the 3dSystem that has been described in this post as being a basic Universal pattern. A 3dApp has a basic structure as follows:

App as 3dApp.System
    Display as 3dDisplay.System
    Data as 3dData.System
    Datastore as 3dDatastore.System

Display, Data, Datastore - hence 3d.

Display contains human interface data.
Data contains a database in HFSM format.
Datastore contains persistent data that is usually stored on disk.

All of these systems contain data in 2d/flat format. What you see displayed is usually a 2d image which is turned into 3d by your brain. The database is in 2d format. Persistent data is 4d (think spacetime) in nature but exists in the App as a 2d/flat table.     

There is no reason why our Universe cannot exist as a 2d/flat structure, possibly a hologram. See https://www.wired.co.uk/article/our-universe-is-a-hologram. Given Occam's razor, the likelihood that the Universe is a hologram is high. I have discussed this before in this topic.

@Bored chemist is right, they are not talking about topology.

They are talking about large scale topology.

From https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/degrees-of-freedom/httpblogsscientificamericancomdegrees-of-freedom20110725what-do-you-mean-the-universe-is-flat-part-i/

"What I do want to talk about here is what it is that is supposed to be flat.

When cosmologists say that the universe is flat they are referring to space—the nowverse and its parallel siblings of time past. Spacetime is not flat. It can’t be: Einstein’s general theory of relativity says that matter and energy curve spacetime, and there are enough matter and energy lying around to provide for curvature. Besides, if spacetime were flat I wouldn’t be sitting here because there would be no gravity to keep me on the chair. To put it succinctly: space can be flat even if spacetime isn't.

Moreover, when they talk about the flatness of space cosmologists are referring to the large-scale appearance of the universe. When you “zoom in” and look at something of less-than-cosmic scale, such as the solar system, space—not just spacetime—is definitely not flat. Remarkable fresh evidence for this fact was obtained recently by the longest-running experiment in NASA history, Gravity Probe B, which took a direct measurement of the curvature of space around Earth. (And the most extreme case of non-flatness of space is thought to occur inside the event horizon of a black hole, but that’s another story.)
"

Maybe the Universe 3dSystem contains a map/database/class library to the rest of the systems in the universe.

PS I am still to find a lucid explanation in physics of what curved spacetime actually means and how it causes gravity.

Also, a computer program is a 2d (flat) object that can describe/manipulate 3d objects. i.e. a flat universe COULD conceivably exist and be translated into a 3d object when "observed".

Evidence that the universe is rotating. https://futurism.com/the-byte/astronomers-entire-early-universe-rotating

The Universe is the top level 3dSystem of Reality. It will naturally rotate around its centre of gravity.  As will all of its subsystems and their subsystems. You are a 3dSystem that seemingly does not rotate. But, this is because gravity is stopping you from doing so.

A 3dSystem is initially created as a rotating sphere with no components. The rotating sphere has an Intrinsic Angular Momentum. There are distinct types of this momentum which is often called Spin and is identified by a Spin number.

The energy of a system is related to its Intrinsic Angular Momentum and is spread out initially evenly across the space occupied by the system when it is first created. Being Intrinsic means the energy is absolute (not relational) This energy is given by the basic equation of quantum physics E = h/t, where:

E = the energy in units of joules that is present in a single rotation of the system
h = Planck's constant of Action (6.62607015×10⁻³⁴ joules times seconds)
t = the time taken for a single rotation of the system.

This means, amazingly, that all systems "contain" a constant amount of Action, h. Action: walk for 1k, run for 1k: same action but first way is low energy long time, second is high energy short time.

It also so happens that f = 1/t where f = the frequency of the frequency of the rotation in Hertz (cycles/rotations per second) units, so:

E = hf is an alternative way of calculating energy.

This energy will change only if the frequency of the system changes. For example, if the system expands, the frequency will decrease and so will the energy. If the system contracts, the frequency will increase and so will the energy. Much like a spinning ice-skater.

PS all 3dSystems are universes in their own rights. They are infinite in nature. They also each contain two centres of awareness. One processes all communication with the parent 3dSystem and the other processes all communication with the 3dShells/3dSubsystems. In the case of a personal 3dSystem, these centres would likely be the third eye and the solar plexus.

Looks like we have a team of intrepid physicists in Naked Scientists New Theories on a mission to to purge the world of physics untruths. How heroic.

And unlikely. Especially as they appear to have little in common. What is more likely? That they are being financed to disrupt any new physics theory showing promise would seem to be a strong possibility. There will be any number of corporations that will stand to lose from the introduction of new technology based on successful new physics theories. You have to ask the question "why has physics advanced so little in the last 50 years".

The answer may be that talented people like myself just get sick of the incessant attacks by talentless people whose agenda is driven by an unrelenting pathological need to belittle others, or money is involved. Money is usually involved when the status quo is threatened.

Their favorite troll-like tactic seems to repeat ad nauseam a post that they have not got a reply to. Why? Because they can. The Naked Scientist's moderator seems to be in collusion with the practice. It is certainly not because they feel they can increase their chances of getting a reply. I never  reply to such awful behavior. This topic, unfortunately, is riddled with this sort of thing. If I were a follower, I would be thinking twice before visiting the topic. Eventually, if the behavior continues to be tolerated, Naked Scientists and Physics are going to be the losers here.

One of the questions being posed by the team leader is "What does the H stand for" (in one of my replies which started with IMHO)" It has been repeated ad nauseam 15 times.  Many others are abusive. I refuse to reply to such a person at all, in this case, their partner.

The team is good guy, bad guy. One is meek and mild and the other is arrogant and egotistic. They are as alike as chalk and cheese. Their chances of becoming bosom buddies are pretty much nil. Why therefore the partnership? Maybe they think good cop, bad cop interrogation is going to achieve better results.  And maybe there is not a partnership. Maybe it is the one guy with different User Ids. Whatever, it is likely to be bad news for Naked Scientists.

Bad Cop has 2 Topics on New Theories out of 18000 posts. He is obviously bereft of ideas/creativity. Why then is he spending 33% of his time in New Theories? Because, being new he can criticize the theory any way he wants without the need for scientific proof. Never mind that he is mostly laughably wrong, he gets his 4 hits of belittling satisfaction a day. He is a bully. If you criticize him, he almost always comes back at you with more drivel or aggressively attacks you.

These guys don't like not having the last word. They will post and post and post until we give up and stop posting. An internet troll is best handled by not replying to their posts.

Why a moderator would put up with all this is totally beyond me. I have contacted the moderator and others in Naked Scientists about the situation but to no avail.

Bad cop BC, C2B, B2C?

In future in New Theories, I will reply only to posts that have references, address the idea and not the person, are neutral or pleasant in tone, are helpful and address the theory. I will not reply to nor read posts from people I know to be trouble-makers.

I suppose that depends upon how one defines "wasting time".

Like between you and your partner, 3 days of my time wasted on series of wild goose chases. Like about 2000 views of time wasted because the viewer likely expected some of my pearls of wisdom or at least a good laugh. BTW, a perfect result if you were an  Internet Troll.

And that one is the straw-man fallacy. Bored Chemist is a chemist and I'm not even a scientist. I'm well aware that I cannot "purge the world of physics untruths", but I can try to correct people's misunderstandings on this tiny corner of the Internet.

Sorry, I should have said "Looks like we have a team of intrepid NON-physicists"

Yes, it feels good to let people know the difference between actual scientific evidence and speculation.

I can assure you it don't feel good to them. Why do you feel this need to put people right. Do you have anxiety issues around control?

Beware that the truth is just that, i.e., scientific truth (so hard to come by in Physics) and not a personal opinion. This is New Theories and the truth is near impossible to come by. Ask yourself, why am I in New Theories where the purity of your mission is senseless. No chance, being conservative, you are trying to stop innovation in physics? Conservative physicists have been very successful at this for the last 50 years.

If people are upset or provoked by that, then they need to do some thorough self-examination and ask themselves if they are being rational.

I guarantee you MOST people will be provoked by what you have been posting. It takes a huge amount of skill to criticize and not antagonize people ( even more to have them thank you for it). You don't have the required skill, and, worse, your criticisms are mostly baseless.

At the very least, never criticize the person, always the idea.

I would suggest you ditch your partner who is a light year more provocative than you (he likes to disrespect people "because they deserve it").

Finally Naked Scientists will be risking patronage if this incredibly inflammatory partnership is allowed to continue. I have no intention of returning.

Actually, I think I will stick around and see just much laughter I can provoke.

Internet troll - Wikipedia
 
In internet slang, a troll is a person who starts flame wars or upsets people on the Internet by posting inflammatory and digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses and normalizing tangential discussion, either for the troll's amusement or a specific gain.

It seems to me one of the functions of a moderator is to protect the general membership of a forum from a person such as this. It is not happening on Naked Scientist Forums and I will not put up any more with the abuse that I have received in that last 3 days. Sorry people no more laughs.

yes they do, but it is not fermions interacting. What interacts are a fermion and a boson. Fermions can't interact. Two electrons e.g. cannot interact.
