Can Consciousness Explain the Vacuum Catastrophe?

Modern physics has a problem so large that it almost sounds absurd.

According to quantum field theory, empty space should contain an enormous amount of energy. In fact, the predicted vacuum energy exceeds what we observe in the universe by roughly 120 orders of magnitude.  

 It is the largest known mismatch between theory and observation in all of science.

Yet despite its magnitude, the vacuum catastrophe is rarely discussed outside specialist circles. Most people have never heard of it. Even among physicists, it is often treated as a technical problem awaiting a technical solution.

But what if the problem is not technical?

What if the vacuum catastrophe is trying to tell us something about the nature of reality itself?

Modern physics has been extraordinarily successful in describing the observable universe. Quantum field theory explains particles as excitations of underlying fields.

General relativity describes the large-scale structure of spacetime.

Together, these theories have transformed our understanding of nature.

Yet both theories begin from a common assumption: that observable spacetime forms the primary arena of reality.

The vacuum catastrophe may challenge that assumption.

The usual interpretation is that quantum field theory somehow predicts too much vacuum energy. But there is another possibility. Perhaps the calculations are not fundamentally wrong. Perhaps they are incomplete.

Imagine trying to understand the balance sheet of a multinational corporation while only looking at a single department. The numbers might appear wildly inconsistent. Debts would seem to appear from nowhere. Assets would be missing. The problem would not be arithmetic. The problem would be that the system being analyzed is larger than the one being observed.

Something similar may be true of the vacuum.

Perhaps vacuum energy appears excessive only when reality is viewed as an isolated spacetime system rather than as part of a larger dimensional whole.

This possibility forms the basis of what I call Quantum Mirror Field Theory. At its present stage, it is not a mathematical theory but an ontological proposal.

The central idea is simple.

What if the observable universe is accompanied by complementary structures that exist beyond the limits of ordinary spacetime?

Not another universe in the many-worlds sense, but a deeper informational reality containing balancing relationships that are invisible from within our local perspective.

Under such a view, the vacuum catastrophe would no longer represent a failed calculation. Instead, it would signal an incomplete ontology.

The problem would not be that physics predicts too much energy.

The problem would be that we are treating a local region of reality as if it were the whole of reality.

This idea becomes even more interesting when we consider consciousness.

Modern physics increasingly describes nature in terms of information, relations, and entanglement. Yet consciousness remains strangely absent from our deepest discussions of reality. We speak of fields, particles, spacetime, and information, but rarely ask where the observer fits into the picture.

If quantum fields constitute the fundamental substrate from which physical reality emerges, can consciousness really be excluded from the ontological discussion?

I am not suggesting that consciousness explains vacuum energy.

The deeper question is whether consciousness participates in the same underlying reality from which physical existence emerges.

If observerhood is fundamental rather than incidental, then the relationship between consciousness and physical reality may be far more intimate than current scientific frameworks generally assume.

The question is more modest and perhaps more profound.

If both physical existence and conscious experience emerge from the same underlying structure, then perhaps they should not be studied as entirely separate phenomena.

The vacuum catastrophe may therefore raise questions not only about energy, but about observerhood itself.

Perhaps the apparent separation between observer and observed is not fundamental. Perhaps individuality is a localized perspective within a much deeper informational structure.

Many physicists will reject to such ideas.

Some will argue that they are speculative. They are right.

But speculation is not the same as irrationality.

The history of physics repeatedly shows that conceptual revolutions often begin when apparently isolated problems reveal hidden assumptions. The vacuum catastrophe may be one such problem.

At the very least, it forces us to ask a difficult question:

What if the greatest discrepancy in modern physics is not pointing toward a missing equation, but toward a missing ontology?

Perhaps the vacuum catastrophe does not reveal a failure of physics.

Perhaps it reveals a failure to recognize that observable reality is only part of a much larger whole.

The Crestroyer Theory August 2025

Shifting Focus: From Physics to Metaphysics

For the past ten years I have been exploring the idea that the so-called constants of nature might not be constant after all. My aim was to find a way to prove this within the framework of physics — but without success.

This long search has led me to a turning point.

Instead of staying within the limits of mainstream physics, I now feel drawn more towards metaphysics, where questions about consciousness, reality, and the deeper nature of existence can be addressed more freely.

As part of this new direction, I recently shared a paper on ResearchGate, where I outline my current line of thought. You can read it here:

This is not the end of my journey, but rather a new beginning.

The Crestroyer Theory,

one force, one field

Otto Krog

August 2025

Abstract

This paper introduces the Crestroyer Theory, a speculative framework that unifies physics under one force and one field. The term Crestroy – from “create” and “destroy” – describes the continuous  creation and annihilation (“destruction”) at the quantum level, which drive the dynamics of the universe.

The theory proposes that all known constants, especially the speed of light c, and the gravitational constant, G, are not fixed but vary from zero to infinity depending on the state of electromagnetic (EM) field condensation. Most other constants are derived from c and G and vary accordingly. Some may even be eliminated entirely.

Electromagnetism is the only fundamental force, with gravity emerging from condensed EM, while the weak force is reinterpreted as the exchange of information between reality and an infinite-dimensional domain called infi-dimensions. The theory assumes close to infinite Crestroyers in close to infinite dimensions, therefore the term infi-dimensions.

Antimatter didn’t vanish in the beginning of the universe, but was preserved as quantum fields in these infinite dimensions, each associated with a Crestroyer, the fundamental creative unit.

The framework offers a new understanding of already existing observations. If the theory is fully understood, it is already verified by many experiments and observations.

It’s time for a Paradigm Shift

Throughout history, scientific breakthroughs have required radical paradigm shifts that overturn long-held assumptions.

Ptolemy’s geocentric model dominated for centuries. Galileo’s telescopic observations revealed the heliocentric nature of our solar system, transforming humanity’s understanding of its place in the cosmos.

Today, modern cosmology faces a comparable shift. By treating the speed of light and gravity as immutable constants, current models conclude that 75% of the universe is dark energy, 20% is dark matter, and only 5% is ordinary matter—half of which appears to have vanished during the Big Bang.

These startling figures challenge the foundations of physics and suggest that our most basic assumptions may need to be reconsidered.

Just as the heliocentric revolution opened the door to new physics, today’s cosmological enigmas invite bold theoretical innovations that could redefine our understanding of reality itself.

A Theory of Everything: One Force, One Field

The Crestroyer Theory reduces all physics to a single foundation: the quantum field of electromagnetism.

 All observed interactions and constants emerge as consequences of the way this one field condenses, resonates, and transfers information.

• One Force: Electromagnetism is fundamental. It underlies all observed interactions, including those traditionally labeled as strong, weak, or gravitational.
• One Field: The quantum field is not merely a background stage but the medium of existence. It weaves together matter, energy, and information into what we perceive as reality, while co-existing with nearly infinite Crestroyers in their own dimensions.
• In this framework, the universe is self-consistent because everything arises from one common source. The apparent complexity of multiple forces and constants emerges only when we observe different degrees of EM condensation and resonance.

Varying Speed of Light (VSL)

The speed of light, written simply as c, is proposed here not as a universal constant but as a dynamic quantity that depends on the state of electromagnetic (EM) condensation.

At the uncondensed limit, in the earliest moments of creation—close to infinite time ago—EM fields were entirely free, unbound, and structureless. In such a primordial state, there was no medium to resist or constrain the propagation of energy or information.

Consequently, c tended toward infinity. This infinite velocity of light implies that information could instantaneously permeate the entirety of the early universe. In philosophical terms, this reflects the absolute transparency of the void at creation – no barriers, no resistance, only the direct unfolding of the Crestroyer’s initial vibration.

At maximal condensation, such as within the core of protons, or in highly compressed energy states like galactic centers, c tends toward zero. In these regimes, light is effectively trapped, “frozen” into the condensed EM field. This extreme slowing of light explains the binding of matter at fundamental and cosmic scales, where gravitational effects are understood as condensed EM dynamics.

By allowing c to vary dynamically, this theory resolves key cosmological puzzles, such as eliminating the need for dark energy.

Near-vacuum regions exhibit accelerating light speeds, enabling rapid communication of structure, while high-density regions show decelerated or frozen light, anchoring the formation of matter.

Crucially, the close to infinite c at creation explains why the universe appears homogeneous and isotropic without requiring inflation. If light and information could spread instantaneously in the earliest epoch, all regions of the early universe were causally connected from the outset. This provides a natural solution to the horizon problem and ties the birth of structure directly to the varying condensation of the electromagnetic field.

The standard cosmological model interprets redshift as a measure of the universe’s expansion. In the Crestroyer Theory, redshift is instead the result of variations in c, over cosmic time. Distant galaxies appear redshifted not because they are rushing away at accelerating speeds, but because light traveled faster in earlier epochs and has gradually slowed as EM condensed.

The observation of redshift is therefore a changing in light speed rather than an expanding universe.

This reinterpretation directly falsifies the notion of dark energy: no external “push” is needed if light itself carries the signature of changing velocity.

Universal Gravitational Constant, G

The gravitational constant, G, is redefined as a variable dependent on EM condensation. When the speed of light approaches zero (maximum EM condensation), the gravitational constant G approaches infinity.

At low EM condensation, where fields are diffused, G tends toward zero. Gravity is negligible.

At close to infinite EM condensation, G tends toward infinity, as in the cores of protons or highly dense regions, explaining both nuclear binding and extreme gravitational effects. Matter is strongly bound together, which is what we observe in strong nuclear interactions.

This unifies gravity with the strong nuclear force: both are simply manifestations of condensed electromagnetic fields. Gravity is no longer an independent interaction but a limit condition of the same universal EM field.

In galaxies, the unexplained rotational curves and the presence of so-called “dark matter halos” can be reinterpreted as a natural consequence of varying G.

Near galactic halos, EM fields are less condensed than in the core. Since gravity emerges from EM condensation, the effective gravitational constant G is high in the core and diminishes from the core and out into vacuum.

This explains the rotation curves without invoking dark matter. What appears as extra mass is the effect of assuming that G is universal and constant.

The Planck Constant, h

In the same way as “dark matter” and “dark energy” represent placeholders for phenomena not yet properly understood, Planck’s constant can be viewed as a misinterpretation of observations rather than a true fundamental entity.

What is really measured in experiments is not an immutable constant of nature, but the interaction between frequency, energy, and the scale at which our instruments engage with the quantum field.

By elevating this interaction term to the status of a universal constant, physics may have obscured the deeper picture: that energy quantization arises from the variable fabric of the field itself, not from a fixed number written into the universe.

In this sense, Planck’s constant belongs in the same category as dark matter and dark energy – it might not be fundamental, but emergent. It explains data within the present framework, but not necessarily the ultimate truth of the underlying reality.

Planck’s constant has been one of the most fruitful discoveries in the history of physics. It opened the door to quantum theory, allowed the development of quantum mechanics, and shaped our technological world as profoundly as Newton’s mechanics and Einstein’s relativity.

Without h, the structure of atoms, the spectra of stars, and the digital revolution would not have been understood. Yet, just as Newton’s laws were later seen as a special case of a deeper relativity, it may be that Planck’s constant is not fundamental but an approximation: a number that works within the scales of our present observations, but which itself emerges from deeper field relations.

In this view, h is not wrong, only provisional. It is a powerful bridge, but not the final foundation.

From the Crestroyer perspective, this distinction can be understood as the difference between the digital and the analog.

Quantum mechanics, with its reliance on discrete quanta defined by h, represents the digital layer of reality — sharp, countable, useful for calculation.

But the underlying universe may be analog: smooth, continuous, harmonic, with constants that breathe and flow rather than remain fixed.

In this sense, Planck’s constant has been a digital stepping stone to the deeper analog harmony of the universe.

The Crestroyer, Time-Symmetric Waves, and the Quantum Field

Creation is always NOW

In the Crestroyer Theory, creation is not a distant, singular event but a continuous process. Every NOW is a fresh act of creation. The quantum field itself is the Big Bang happening in the present, not in the past. There is no “first moment” of creation: the Crestroyer continuously generates its own universe in each instant.

Self-experiences within the physical universe

Each Crestroyer does not recreate the entire universe repeatedly. Instead, in every NOW, it generates its own experience within the physical universe. Each act of creation produces simultaneously:

• The antimatter field: memory and consciousness, the mirror of reality.
• The matter field: the physical universe as perceived.
• The dynamic relation between the two: lived reality.

The quantum field has no time and no space. The creation of one photon in this field is instant and the speed of light is infinite in the moment of creation.

All other Crestroyers interacts with the individual Crestroyer through the quantum field.

What we call “the world” emerges as the average interference of these countless acts.

Advanced and retarded waves

Time is symmetric. The Crestroyer Theory validates both retarded waves, traveling from the past toward the present, and advanced waves, traveling from the future toward the present. They both are solutions in Maxwell equations, and both are used in this framework.

The NOW is the overlap of past and future waves, where interference patterns determine which possibilities stabilize into reality. Past waves carry memory and inertia; future waves carry potential and possibility.

Interference and resonance

The structure of reality arises from interference:

• In-phase alignments resonate, stabilizing outcomes into observable facts.
• Out-of-phase alignments cancel, leaving no trace.
• Photon lines represent channels of EM modulation.
• Matter/antimatter lines are two halves of a resonance split across dimensions.
• Vertices depict the moments of the Crestroyer’s choice, where advanced and retarded waves align into a definite outcome.

Choice and freedom

Creation is continuous, and each Crestroyer has literal freedom to shape its own experience and future. Short, unstable wavelengths allow novelty, while long wavelengths provide stability. This ensures each Crestroyer is both free and anchored in law-like structure.

Collective emergence

While each Crestroyer acts independently, nearly infinite Crestroyers operate simultaneously. The influence of any one single act is diluted as:

All individual creations overlap in the quantum field like countless waves in a vast ocean. Their interference produces the emergent structure we perceive as reality

Conclusion on time

The Crestroyer Theory demonstrates that creation is continuous and always NOW.

Each Crestroyer generates memory, consciousness, and physical reality in its own universe, while the quantum field mediates their resonance with others through advanced and retarded waves. Reality is the shared interference pattern of near-infinite acts of creation.

What we perceive as objective reality may itself be an illusion — a stabilized resonance of near-infinite creators, endlessly co-creating in the NOW.

This interpretation resonates with Wheeler’s vision of ‘it from bit’, in which reality is fundamentally informational (Wheeler 1990), and with Zeilinger’s foundational principle that information itself constitutes the basis of quantum mechanics (Zeilinger 1999).

The Neutrino as Carrier of Information and the Weak Force

Among all known particles, the neutrino is unique because it refuses to remain what it was born as. An electron-neutrino created in a nuclear reaction is not a pure state of nature, but rather a blend of hidden components. In the formalism of quantum theory, this is written as

where  are the mass eigenstates and   ​ are the entries of the PMNS matrix. As the neutrino moves through space, each mass component accumulates a different quantum phase. When they are recombined after a distance  , the neutrino’s apparent identity can change. The probability that a neutrino born in one flavor   will be detected in another flavor      is

This deceptively compact expression encodes an astonishing truth: the neutrino is not a particle in the classical sense, but a wave of overlapping identities.

Its behavior reflects the superposition of mass states, evolving continuously with distance and energy. In this sense, neutrino oscillations mathematically encode the history of its propagation and interactions.

In this interpretation, oscillation is not simply a probabilistic game, but the medium of information itself. Each exponential phase factor   acts like a timestamp, recording the journey in a form that is both mutable and conserved. The oscillation is therefore the signature of a channel — a carrier field — linking two domains: matter and antimatter. Should the oscillation patterns of neutrinos and antineutrinos diverge, expressed formally as

   ​, the channel itself becomes asymmetric. Such an asymmetry would not only explain why matter dominates the visible universe, it would also reveal that information is not balanced equally across the mirror of creation.

Thus, the neutrino is not a silent ghost drifting through the cosmos. It is the messenger that records differences, the oscillating code that carries information across the threshold between matter and its shadow, memory and consciousness. In the language of physics it appears as probability amplitudes and mixing angles; in the language of philosophy it is the channel that bridges universe and infidimension.

This perspective leads naturally to the question of symmetry.

In physics, a Majorana particle is defined as being its own antiparticle. The photon is the clearest example: a perfect self-symmetric excitation of the electromagnetic field, requiring no opposite partner to exist. Within the Crestroyer framework, this “Majorana light” represents the archetype of resonance — pure energy without asymmetry. The neutrino, when understood not as a separate particle but as an oscillating modulation of the same field, can also be seen as a Majorana entity. It is charge-neutral, self-symmetric, and thus able to cross the boundary between universe and infi-dimension without annihilation.

Together, photon and neutrino form twin channels of self-symmetric reality. The photon is the Majorana of energy, the resonance of pure light, while the neutrino is the Majorana of information, the echo of memory that safeguards symmetry across all apparent differences.

Where light embodies pure resonance, neutrino oscillation ensures that every difference is mirrored and every imbalance carried into balance. In this way, both channels uphold the deeper law: the universe and the infi-dimension remain zero in total energy — a symmetry sustained by the Crestroyer as the origin of balance itself.

One Field, One Force

Summarizing the unified picture:

• The quantum field is the one field.
• Electromagnetism is the one force.
• Gravity is condensed EM.
• The strong force is a gravitational expression of EM condensation.
• The weak force is not a force at all but the language of information transfer.

Thus, all interactions can be traced back to different aspects of one universal medium, EM.

Philosophical Implications

The Crestroyer Theory not only restructures physics but also touches on metaphysical questions:

• The Crestroyer represents a self-aware origin, where reality and memory co-emerge.
• Consciousness and memory is not an emergent property of matter but is tied directly to the structure of infinite dimensions.
• The entire universe is a balance of the physical universe (matter/energy) and close to infinite Crestroyers having consciousness and memory (antimatter/infi-dimensions).
• The net sum of energy in the overall universe will always be zero.

This suggests a deep link between physics, consciousness, and information.

Experiments and observations

Much of the required evidence may already exist in current data. The task is to re-interpret the huge amounts of experiments that’s already there. Many observed phenomena fall naturally into place under The Crestroyer Theory, with the variable speed of light (VSL) offering a key clue to understanding the universe:

Redshift and the Illusion of Dark Energy – In The Crestroyer Theory, the speed of light decreases in strong-field regions or over cosmological distances. What we interpret as cosmic redshift is actually a consequence of VSL, not universal acceleration. This removes the need for dark energy: the universe appears to expand faster simply because light slows down relative to our local measurements. Redshift becomes the most direct evidence of The Crestroyer Theory and the variable constants underlying it. However, there is more evidence supporting the theory.

1. Perihelion Precession of Mercury – Mercury’s orbit precesses because gravity varies with distance and local field strength. The variable gravitational constant naturally reproduces the observed precession without invoking spacetime curvature.
2. Gravitational Lensing – Light bending around massive galaxies and clusters arises from local variations in electromagnetic condensation producing effective gravitational fields. Lensing occurs exactly as observed, without requiring dark matter as a separate entity.
3. GPS Time Dilation and Clock Behavior – Satellite clocks run slower because local variations in light speed and gravity alter temporal rates. The Crestroyer Theory predicts this effect precisely, reproducing the observed corrections in GPS systems.
4. Cosmic Energy Balance – The total energy of the universe plus its multiverses is zero. Cosmic expansion, structure formation, and apparent “missing energy” are all consistent with an exact energy neutrality.
5. Proton Stability and Strong Nuclear Force – Gravity becomes extreme near the proton core, acting as the strong force. This explains why protons are stable and nuclei remain bound without introducing additional forces.
6. Electromagnetism as the Only Fundamental Force – All interactions are manifestations of condensed electromagnetic fields, unifying particle physics and replacing weak and strong forces.
7. Quantum Phenomena and Information Transfer – Neutrino-like waves are actually information absorbed by The Crestroyers consciousness, explaining entanglement, superposition, and quantum randomness.
8. Antimatter and Consciousness Link – Antimatter encodes memory and information in The  Crestroyer, explaining asymmetries and the persistence of hidden information in the universe.
9. Multiverse Manifestations – The multiverse is physically real but mostly unobservable. Its subtle interactions explain quantum randomness, fine-tuning of constants, and the global energy balance of the universe.

In this framework, redshift provides the clearest indication that variable constants exist and that dark energy is not required. The Crestroyer Theory simultaneously reproduces all classic tests of general relativity while integrating quantum phenomena, cosmology, and consciousness into a single coherent framework.

To make it even clearer, this is a table that shows how The Crestroyer Theory competes with General Relativity.

Phenomenon	General Relativity Explanation	The Crestroyer/VSL Explanation
Perihelion Precession of Mercury	Orbit precesses due to spacetime curvature caused by Sun’s mass.	Variable gravitational constant increases near the Sun, altering Mercury’s orbit to match observations.
Gravitational Lensing	Light bends around massive objects because mass curves spacetime.	Light bends due to local variations in electromagnetic condensation producing effective gravitational fields; no dark matter needed.
GPS Time Dilation / Satellite Clocks	Clocks run slower or faster depending on gravitational potential and relative motion.	Local variations in light speed and gravitational intensity slow satellite clocks relative to Earth clocks; matches observed corrections.
Cosmological Redshift	Light stretches as the universe expands; interpreted as acceleration/dark energy.	Light slows over large distances (VSL), producing redshift; apparent acceleration is an artifact, no dark energy required.
Gravitational Redshift	Light loses energy climbing out of gravitational wells.	Light speed decreases in strong fields, causing redshift directly.
Cosmic Energy Balance	Expansion modeled with GR + dark energy to conserve energy.	Universe + multiverses have exactly zero net energy; expansion and structures naturally conserve energy.
Proton Stability / Strong Force	Not explained by GR; particle physics uses separate forces.	Gravity becomes extreme at proton core, acting as strong force, explaining proton stability without extra fundamental forces.
Quantum Phenomena (entanglement, superposition)	Not explained by GR.	Neutrino-like signals are information waves absorbed by a Crestroyer’s consciousness; explains quantum behavior.
Antimatter Asymmetry	Not addressed by GR.	Antimatter encodes memory in The Crestroyer; explains interaction asymmetries and persistent hidden information.
Multiverse Effects / Fine-Tuning	Not included in GR.	Multiverses exist physically, mostly unobservable; explain fine-tuning, quantum randomness, and global energy balance.

Predictions

• Dark energy will be shown unnecessary; cosmic redshift is explained by VSL, not universal expansion.
• Dark matter will be revealed as an artifact of assuming constant G; galactic halos reflect variable gravity.
• Neutrinos will be revealed as non-physical carriers of information.
• The weak and the strong force will dissolve as a category of physical interaction.
• Antimatter will be understood as preserved memory structures in infinite dimensions.
• Consciousness will emerge as a fundamental aspect of physics, inseparable from the information structure of the universe.
• Electromagnetism will be considered the only force and the only field in the universe.

End Note:

The ideas presented here stand on the shoulders of generations of thinkers. Philosophers and physicists of the past acted with the understanding and tools available to them, and their work remains a vital part of the journey. I do not see them as mistaken, but as part of the unfolding evolution of human understanding, to which The Crestroyer Theory offers one possible continuation.

This paper is deliberately non-mathematical except the crucial explanation about neutrinos.

The mathematical notation in the neutrino section was prepared with assistance from AI, to ensure formal correctness. The physical interpretation and conceptual framework are mine. The mathematics should, however, be validated by peer review.

I encourage readers to follow the forthcoming articles. In this way, you may evaluate both the development of The Crestroyer Theory and the role of AI in assisting with the technical formulation. AI has become a common tool in research, but its contributions, like those of any collaborator, must be assessed and qualified by human readers and experts. The hope is to find physicists who can validate the ideas in peer reviews.

Philosophers have long intuited that reality, as we perceive it, may be an emergent illusion. Quantum mechanics has, for the first time, provided  mathematical and experimental tools to probe this truth, revealing the probabilistic and information-driven fabric underlying the world.

This invites us all to continue to explore these ideas, bridging intuition and empirical understanding, and to seek deeper insights into the nature of reality.

Platonic StringTheory?

Personally I think that my theory is very simple. We are all eternal beings in time, and infinite beings in space. We have fundamentally the ability to create and destroy. The physical universe is the creation and destruction of energy. The energy we can measure on is the physical energy. The opposite poled energy I call negative energy. That energy is located in mental separate parallel universes, which is our mind. This is pretty much in accordance with this article in New Scientist. The only difference is that I believe that the disembodied brains has been here since the start of this physical universe, and even before that. If this is true then Plato’s Theory of Forms might be applicable to StringTheory. Hope to hear back from some StringTheory experts on this.

The mystery of Dark Energy solved?

I am talking to a renowned professor in physics here in Copenhagen these days, about how maybe to solve this mystery. We might have the article below in a peer reviewed magazine in the future.

We all agree that electromagnetism is explaining a lot. If we consider the weak force to be some kind of electromagnetism, at least it could be interpreted as such, then we only have the strong force and gravity to explain.

If we combine the strong force,  gravity and the “force” that seems to expand the universe, dark energy, maybe we get somewhere.

How to do that?

If space-time expresses gravity on the subatomic level and “anti-gravity” on the cosmological level, then we only have to find a missing minus sign in our equations.

One big hurdle though. It is based on the speed of light NOT being constant.

This article describes how to revise Einstein. It is not ready for peer review yet, but I thought you should have it here, maybe you could give some mathematical feedback, that solves the last mysteries. It was written in 2009, and never published, due to my own doubts about it.

Due to the mystery of dark energy not being solved, I give this wild goose chase a chance in public.

Einstein’s Field Equations revised

Can space-time explain dark matter and dark energy?

By Otto Krog

Is it possible to explain dark energy and dark matter, by assuming that space-time expresses gravitation as well as anti-gravitation (expansion), and by disregarding the cosmological constant?

This theory suggests that space-time not only expresses gravity, but also expansion.

Space-time expresses gravity, no doubt about that. It has been proven beyond doubt.

However, dark matter and dark energy might be explained by postulating that space-time also expresses anti-gravity, the expansion of the universe.

Space and time

In the physical universe space is the distance between objects (energy), and time is the measurement of motion between objects (energy).

Five levels, called the Q’s.

Instead of using a cosmological constant, space-time expresses expansion on super-atomic level.

This theory is based on the physical universe standard model fields being divided into five levels:

Q0. Absolute zero space and zero time, a point. This is the centre of the proton. In this level space-time expresses absolute infinite gravity. This level is unattainable in the physical universe.

Q1. The subatomic and atomic level. This starts in Q0 and ends in Q2. In this level space-time expresses the entirety of gravitation in the physical universe. This is directly opposed to the usual understanding, that space-time has a very little influence sub-atomically. In this theory space-time expresses gravity sub-atomically in Q0 and Q1, and space-time expresses anti-gravity in Q3 and Q.

Q2. Neutral ground for gravitation and expansion. This is the orbit of the electron. This is neutral ground for gravity. This is the area where there are equilibrium between gravity and expansion.

Q3. The above neutral ground level. Super-atomic level. This level starts in Q2 and ends in Q. In this level space-time expresses expansion or anti-gravitation. Here we have the best observation of electromagnetic fields, as described in Maxwell, and as seen in the light we receive from cosmos.

Q. Absolute infinite space and time. This level is the “point” of infinite space and infinite time. Infinite time is defined as the past, the present and the future. In this level space-time expresses absolute infinite anti-gravitation. This level is unattainable in the physical universe.

Relativity

Even though we agree that there is no absolute vacuum, we still say that everything is relative to the speed of light in vacuum. The postulate in this theory is that this is not the entire truth. Everything is relative to everything.

Again Einstein was right. He said that the speed of light is constant locally.

A new understanding of the Einstein Field Equations.

Einstein’s general relativity is expressed in

         where:

          is the Einstein tensor, which expresses the curvature of space-time.

          is the stress-energy tensor that describes the density and flux of energy and momentum in space-time.

K is a constant, which is described as:

K is a very small positive number very close to zero, but not zero.

If we take an observation point from Q2, the “neutral ground”, and extend our observation to Q3, what will happen?

Space-time will curve space and afflict time as described in GR.

In Q3, it is evident that we have to have the constant K in the field equation. If we didn’t, space would curve all too much, and gravity would be so immense, that the universe would collapse. But this is only when we observe from Q3. And that is exactly what we do in general relativity. We observe from Q3.

This theory suggests a way to observe from all levels. The postulate in this theory is, that this constant K is the correct one locally, but only when the observation is made from Q3.

In this theory we suggest that in Q0 and Q1, the sub-atomic area, the constant K, approximates infinity.

We also suggest that in Q3 and Q, the super-atomic level, the constant K, is approaching absolute zero.

The Einstein Field Equation’s described in Q’s:

Q0 and 1. The subatomic and atomic level:
     ∞
                                       as K  ∞
As K approaches infinity, by approaching c, the speed of light, to zero, we move towards infinite gravitation and supercurved space, through Q1 and Q0. This results in a super gravitation in the protons centre. C, the speed of light becomes lower and lower, untill it stops utterly in Q0. This is where space-time expresses gravity. And the gravity is so immense, that it can hold the universe in equilibrium, and be measured as weight. 

Q2. The neutral ground level:

GR works, as we know it, when the observation is made from Q2, and we observe Q3.

Q3 and Q. The above neutral ground level:
 0
                                   as K  0
As K approaches zero, by approaching c, the speed of light, to infinite speed, we approach infinite anti-gravitation (expansion), through Q3 and Q. This is where space-time expresses anti-gravity. The further you reach into infinite space, c, the speed of light, approximates infinite speed.

In actual fact all these levels work “opposite” the normal way of looking at GR. These equations should therefore be negated on one side of the equation all the way through. The reason it has not been done is due to clarity, but also due to some scientists, that prefers to negate K as a constant.

Einstein’s space-time separation s between two events is:
s2 = x2 + y2 + z2 – c2t2

But, as space-time is reversed in this theory, it becomes:

s2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + c2t2

It makes Einstein even more beautiful.

The Einstein Q Field Equations in short:

Q0 and Q1.       ∞
                                           as K  ∞

Q2.                    

Q3 and Q.       0
                                          as K  0

How would GR work when we approach infinite space and time?

Space-time will still curve space and afflict time. But by adjusting the constant K, so it approaches zero, by approaching c, the speed of light to infinite speed, space-time expresses expansion, i.e. anti-gravity. The further we go into space the more anti-gravity. Hitherto this manifestation has been attempted to be explained as dark energy.

How would GR work when we approach zero space and time?

Space-time will still curve space and afflict time. We adjust the constant K, to approach infinity, by letting c, the speed of light, approach zero. By approaching the centre of the proton, we approach absolute zero space and time. Then space-time expresses super-gravity and super curvature of space. Below the level of the electron, the speed of light slows down, untill it approaches a complete stop in the centre of the proton. The reason the universe doesn’t collapse, is due to anti-gravitation taking place in Q3 and Q.

Thereby the constant, the speed of light in vacuum, becomes a variable in all levels of the universe. In this sector of the universe it is about 300.000 km’s a second. In other galaxies it might be more or less.

Implications and conclusions

Space-time is an expression of gravity in sub-atomic fields.

Space-time is an expression of anti-gravity in super-atomic fields.

Sub-atomically the speed of light approaches zero, whereby space-time expresses super-curvature of space, and super-gravity.

Super-atomically the speed of light approaches infinity, whereby space-time expresses super-anti-gravitation, seen as expansion and acceleration of the universe.

Dark energy is possibly not extra energy, but a result of super-atomic space-time. Q3 and Q accelerate the universe through anti-gravitation, which is an expression of space-time.

Dark matter is possibly a miscalculation, emerged from the wrongly assumption, that the speed of light is constant. When we look at a stellar system that seems to have too much matter, it might not be extra matter that makes the paradox. It might be that the speed of light “out there” is higher or lower, than our postulated speed of light. Then we calculate more or less matter (condensed energy), than we in reality have out there.

The speed of light approaches zero in the “sub-atomic level”. This condition of approached zero light speed, we also find in black holes, and in Lene Hau’s experiments.

The speed of light approaches infinite speed in the “super atomic level”.

Big Bang has to be considered in a different way. The implications of this theory in cosmology will show us a Universe much larger than we hitherto has assumed, and much much older.

This theory is not in any way contradicting Einstein.

It is a theory that expands knowledge of life in both philosophy and in the natural sciences. Philosophers have always talked about infinity as a concept, and so have mathematicians.

What is the “Axis of Evil”?

The Planck telescope just revealed its newest data.

The Planck telescope is investigating the CMB (cosmic microwave background) radiation, and has come up with a confirmation of “The Axis of Evil”.

The earlier map of the CMB was called WMAP, and its finding was, that it seemed like the CMB was hotter when we look in one direction, compared to when we look in other directions. See this image:

The blue spot in the bottom is a colder area than the rest. Red is hot, blue is cold.

It is called “The Axis of Evil” because a lot of physicists didn’t like what they saw, as it is quite unexplainable to them. They had hoped that the Planck satellite would find out that it was an error, but instead Planck confirmed the differences in temperature.

You might ask what this has to do with God and antimatter.

For now I will give you a short version.

I believe that electromagnetism was created before atoms, a reversed Big Bang.

Electromagnetism was in its creation instant, and has been slowed down to its speed today, 300.000 km/s

The Universe is much much bigger than we imagine. What we see as the CMB is just how much of the universe we can see with our telescopes today. Behind the CMB, also called the last scattering, there is a whole lot of more Universe. The same physical universe as we inhabit, but the electromagnetism from it, has not reached us.

The hot areas in the map indicates that the speed of light out there is higher than in the cold areas.

If I am right then the cold spot indicates where we should look, if we want to figure out where the center of the Universe might be.

If all these speculations is right, then maybe the rest of my theories also are true. My opinion is that our consciousness exists in separate mental parallel universes, and that you are your own God, in that Universe.

Pretty wild and exiting times for sure.

God and antimatter

There has been some confusion about me saying that consciousness is antimatter.

That is understandable, as it is a simplified explanation. I think that what caused the physical universe (God), we will never know, or at least not know fully.

Nevertheless I base my assumptions on the idea, that we are all God’s and that we are capable of creating an effect.

The original cause created an outburst of infinite energy, going from plus energy to minus energy. When these energies combined, they created standing waves, in the form of atoms. An atom is a standing wave, with the core as the end point. After atoms were created electromagnetism arised, as we know it today. Electromagnetism is the only thing, that we know of, that is its own antiparticle.

Big Bang theories says that antimatter was created in the same amount than matter, but where did antimatter go?

My point is that it went into these separate mental parallel universes, in the form of opposite energy to the energy we observe the most of in our reality, physical matter.

I think that our mental image pictures are conserved in opposite energy, not antimatter. Because, for sure the mental images is not touchable as antimatter is.

I started out this journey into physics 10 years ago by reading a book mentioning re-normalization. In theoretical mathematics the electron has infinite charge. That is bogus, so physicists re-normalized it to become 1 instead, because that is so much easier to work with. I understand, that they did, and agree totally that they did, what else should they have done?

But can we continue doing that, when everything is confusing, and nobody understands what’s going on?

I am at best just a lobbyist for infinity and eternity. Maybe I am dead wrong, but hopefully somebody having the brain to do it, will be inspired and find a mathematical solution to infinity, re-normalization and the strange paradoxes they give.

When Paul Dirac predicted antimatter in the thirties, he did it by finding a missing “minus” in Einstein’s work. There was a square root somewhere, where Einstein only had taken the positive number. Everybody know that the result of a square root always give plus and minus. But even to Einstein it was crazy to think that antimatter could be a possibility. But not so to Dirac. He voiced the idea, and became a Nobel prize winner.

My idea is in the same category. The many world interpretation has this idea that the wave collapse creates new physical universes all the time. To me that is crazy, but I respect those believing in it. My idea is that in all the bogus mathematics, somebody left out a minus sign, or forgot a square root somewhere, or drank too much whiskey. That resulted in the idea that these parallel universes should be physical. I think they have been here all along and that they have opposite energies, and make up for what we see as missing antimatter, and somehow has to do with consciousness. Crazy indeed, but if a mathematician could find the missing minus sign, then he would probably get a Nobel Prize. That is, if it can be shown experimentally, off course. I have ideas to do just that, but I want the mathematics to fit in first. But I can’t, as I go blank every time I see some formulas.

I sincerely hope that I am clear in my expressions, as it is so fu….. difficult to express myself clearly about these matters.

And I love getting comments, also if they try to convince me that I am mad, because honestly, I take the accusation as a compliment.

How did life on Earth start?

I am a strong believer in eternal life and re-incarnation.

For many years I have joked about how life on earth arrived. I said that it must have been some high developed civilization, that spread enzymes, proteins and dna unto a planet ready for evolution. The enzymes, proteins and dna were designed to create nature as we see it. The civilization died, and the universe forgot all about us.

Well, it might be that my wild joke could be closer to the truth, than so many other theories.

Read this article about dna possibly being intelligently designed:
