    I did make I have made many mistakes, much worse than this one and on many occasions. I would say : don’t be so hard on yourself since it’s important to forgive ourselves.

    I do believe the following correction should be made again to your text though :

    Gravity is an [edit: inverse squared] function, so it gets weaker at an exponential a squared rate as you move away from the source.





  • What is the source of these gravitational waves?

    in my post there is a link for a powerful source of these waves but any source is good enough.

    How would rogue gravitational waves create matter?

    Here I use an analogy with the waves in the ocean that were discovered to create very strong unexpected phenomenas. When a field is strong enough it can create matter. So, it would be something similar to Hawking radiation or creation of electron positron pairs from gamma rays.

    What do you mean by “net zero energy”?

    I was most impressed by a single fact of physics that all energy in ordinary matter is equal to the negative potential gravitational energy of that matter.

    How would this [creation of matter and gravitational fields] increase the expansion of the universe?

    I read somewhere, maybe quantum gravity theories, where one creates the other, so I would have to search it again, unless someone here can help me.

    (…) black body CMB?

    Please notice that inside another comment in this post I have addressed that question.

    Agreed, this is the most on topic post we’ve had for a while.

    We both think my post was on topic, unfortunately, ShowerThoughts moderators deleted it !

    Generally, conservation of energy applies in a closed system, so [it] wouldn’t apply at the creation of the system.

    Plus we can’t (yet) be sure what caused the Big Bang if it happened.

    Nice 😊 !

    I’ve always liked the idea that matter, space and time are the way we observe the interactions of fields. So gravity waves make an interesting idea as to how part of it might work

    Now we need a physicist and a mathematician, which obviously, I am not.










  • Yes we had a nice exchange five or six days ago in your post :
    Beyond the Darkness - Dark Matter: A Baseless Hypothesis?
    I am not a physicist and I don’t work in this field. I just read since many years and I made my mind about what was going to be successful and what was not.

    My best prediction so far was that JWST was going to see the same type of galaxies very far away as those in the local universe. (at least partially verified) I made that same prediction when Hubble telescope was put into orbit. Back then physicist started doubting their theories.

    I was most impressed by a single fact of physics ...

    …that all energy in ordinary matter is equal to the negative potential gravitational energy of that matter. Because of this I am scanning all I read for clues for a mechanism where matter could be created from gravitational field …something like Hawking radiation. For the same reason I am also looking for evidence that the universe could stand for a much longer time since the CMB. This would be the case for a universe that would be exponentially expanding. Suppose the accelerating rate of expansion double each 10 billion years or so. Then, if you go in the past every 10 billion years the rate of expansion is smaller and smaller exponentially decreasing and the universe is extremely old.

    I have so many more ideas but I don’t want to make a wall of text.
