TOE — Part 5

The Universe

Gravity, expansion, and the large scale — which depends on everything beneath it.

Seven Truths 1 · The Aether 2 · Matter 3 · The Atom 4 · Energy 5 · The Universe

All memos in this series are working drafts. Part 5 comes last because it rests on all four parts before it. Gravity is a gradient in the medium, not a force between bodies. This part also carries the model's hardest open problems, stated plainly rather than deferred.

The memos

In progress

5.1 · Gravity

A potential gradient in the free lattice. Three states of Aether — free, displaced and bound — and why only gradients push.

5.2 · The Compression Scale

From the void to close packing, in forty-two decades. The proton and the neutron star core land on the same point.

5.3 · Light and Gravity Travel Together

Necessarily, not coincidentally — they are the same wave in the same medium. Confirmed to one part in 1015.

5.4 · Dark Energy

Lattice strain, constant in time. Why uniform stress does not gravitate, and why that is load-bearing in two places.

5.5 · Black Holes

A reflecting shell rather than a hole, and a predicted minimum mass of 8.8×1018 kilograms.

5.6 · The River Model

Where this agrees with general relativity, where it must differ, and why saying so matters.

Open problem

5.7 · What Must Be Answered

The 2009 resonator bound of 0.95 m/s, stellar aberration and Fizeau — the three that no simple drag model satisfies at once.

5.8 · Quantum Mechanics and the Constants

Antibunching, Planck's constant, the fine structure constant, and 1836.152673440. The hardest things left.

Open problem

Every memo carries a ledger at its foot — what is derived, what is measured, what is assumed, what remains open, and who reached it first. Claims can be audited where they are made.
