Are we part of other beings’ dark energy?

You may want to view a 9-minute video summary of some of my attempted research in physics.

Much of the video summary parallels material I plan to present, on April 14, 2013, at an American Physical Society conference in Denver, Colorado, USA.  The title of the talk is “Dark Matter Bosons and Fermions.“

The research suggests the possibility that other beings in our universe might, in effect, consider that people (you and I) are part of the stuff those beings consider to be dark energy.  (The stuff those beings would be made of is part of what we consider to be dark energy.)

The video summary and the planned talk address the following.

• Explain gravitation;
• Explain dark matter;
• Explain dark energy;
• Explain changes in the rate of expansion of the universe;
• Compute the mass of neutrinos;
• Compute the mass of Higgs bosons.

I do not plan to present, as part of the talk, some of the summary’s material about my book Physics Small and Vast: Complementing the Standard Model.

Published book on dark matter, dark energy, fundamental forces, elementary particles, and more

Recently, I published the book Physics Small and Vast: Complementing the Standard Model.

Math and physics go together to discuss some basics. Whereas the Standard Model may address just the first of the following functions, Physics Small and Vast may cover all of them.
* List known elementary particles;
* Explain gravitation;
* Explain dark matter;
* Explain dark energy;
* Explain changes in the rate of expansion of the universe;
* Compute the mass of Higgs-like bosons;
* Suggest a mass for neutrinos;
* Explain why the matter/antimatter ratio is not 1.

I invite you to read, enjoy, learn, and extend work Physics Small and Vast discusses.

Physics Small and Vast address questions such as the following. Does another type of stuff, beyond dark energy, exist? Are traditional catalogs of physics forces complete? Are there more elementary particles to be discovered? This book suggests results including new particles, new forces, relationships between strengths of forces, and mathematics linking particle traits such as spin, charge, mass, and generation. Also, dark energy is stuff and the increase in rate of expansion of the universe is driven by a zero-mass boson.

Presented “A Verbal Glimpse into Dark Matter and Dark Energy”

On July 18, 2012, I presented a verbal glimpse into dark matter and dark energy, as part of the “Innovator’s Showcase” 7th anniversary program of the Silicon Valley Innovation Institute.

The  program included the following.

• Geri McGilvray (a painter) produced (and explained what she was doing and why) a portrait of Jessie Chen.
• Howard Lieberman and Dave Solhaug; Jason Marsh and his computer; Adam Kauk; and Andy Markham, Shawn Ellis, Chinh Tran, and Alan Spearot provided musical performances.
• Elzbieta Holsztynska discussed synergies between art and science.
• Birgitte Rasine read from her book “Confessions.”

Throughout, it was an enjoyable evening and an opportunity for informal innovation and learning.

I am pleased that people (who came for such a diverse program) took an interest in my talk, asked good questions, and (in effect) catalyzed dialog.  Perhaps I met my goal (stated near the beginning of my segment) that people would gain as much insight about dark matter and dark energy as the insight of essentially almost anyone else today.  (Of course, it might be good if the view I presented [and the patterns/theory behind it] were more widely known, substantiated, and accepted.)  I ended with a request that people think of people who might want to participate in or around the research I have done.

Here is a copy of a note (received while I was writing this blog) from Howard Lieberman.

Tom,

Thanks for the adventurous romp into an area where no doubt none of us have ventured. You managed to make an extremely obtuse topic fun and you looked like you were also having a good time. Also thanks for being a stalwart part of this ongoing SVII saga which you have contributed to in multiple ways for the entire time. Yesterday was really a pleasant surprise I love the idea of bringing the cosmic dance of physics in front of a diverse audience. After all who does not want to know what makes the universe tick? Maybe we should do more of this stuff. I doubt most people could handle three hours worth but the size of the bite, you and Jessie worked out was perfect.

I hope that soon I can provide links to video of the evening.

My thanks to Howard Lieberman for organizing and sustaining SVII; to Jesse Chen and Adam Kauk (among others) for supporting “my” segment of the program; and to Angelica’s Bistro in Redwood City, California, USA for hosting this event.

(My presentation was based on work discussed in my book Physics 642b:  Patterns, Forces, Particles, and Stuff.)

Talked regarding book “Physics 642b: Patterns, Forces, Particles, and Stuff”

On July 13, 2012, I provided a brief presentation (for the Venture Capital ~ Private Equity Roundtable) regarding my book Physics 642b: Patterns, Forces, Particles, and Stuff.

Several Roundtable members talked about the book with me during the next break in the program or after the end of the formal meeting.

I would like to thank Gloria Guenther for inviting me to make this presentation.

Published book “Physics 642b: Patterns, Forces, Particles, and Stuff”

Recently, I completed and made available a new book Physics 642b: Patterns, Forces, Particles, and Stuff.

Why is the universe expanding? Does dark energy drive that expansion? Traditional physics poses such questions.

I wrote this book to propose answers. The book explores patterns pertaining to forces, particles, and matter-like stuff. The book pieces together – as would a detective – clues and develops patterns and theories.

Results propose new ways to catalog forces and elementary particles, new forces, new physics regarding light-speed particles, and new ways to interpret dark matter and dark energy.

Notably, results include that dark energy is stuff, but the expansion of the universe is driven by a zero-mass boson. Results also include proposals for a size, for objects in our universe, beyond which repulsion caused by the zero-mass boson dominates attraction caused by gravity; masses of neutrinos; and mathematical expressions for ratios of physical constants.
