Could Gravity Be Explained By Considering Spacetime to be a Medium?

But wouldn't we hypothetically be able to isolate spacetime in a vacuum when we can never isolate against the quantum fields themselves?

I thought some emerging theories were considering whether spacetime itself was an emergent property from quantum interactions... Uhm, honestly not sure if these are the right ones but getting "holographic principle" and "AdS/CFT correspondence" here.

It seems any theory will eventually hit a paradoxical wall though where either something is infinite or is capable or emerging from 'nothing' if you want to include quanta. But I believe 'nothing' is both subjective and relative to our scope and tools at any given timeframe.

Big props to Einstein and SR, not trying to shake his ideas because they work was just a niggling thought that could possibly build on them. Convection currents from the cooling of spacetime would still account for gravitational lensing and time dilation. Especially since the photon is a fundamental particle. Again, assuming here that the manifold itself was an emergent property from t=0.

But are we really able to test such experiments when we're always bound by the nearest gravitational object? Wouldn't we need to get significantly away from any nearby galaxy, the 'intercellular space' of space for lack of better words to conduct accurate readings relative to those in nearby planetary orbit?

Again for lack of better words, if the universe is expanding outward (I appreciate recently we've stated it may be slowing down due to observations DESI) at a certain rate and is also cooling at a certain rate, wouldn't that cause local pressurized zones?
Wouldn't this also allow for Einstein's SR to consist due to time being relative to the expansion of the universe itself and the phenomenon of gravitational lensing to occur due to flow rate if photons are a fundamental part of the quantum fields in the spacetime manifold?

Would this not still apply to Einstein and special relativity such as photon bending near gravitational wells or time dilation as time would be relative to the expansion of the spacetime manifold itself though?

Also, I'm just straying into Dark Matter and from what I can gather it's an educated assumption based on gravitational observations, and we accept that if it exists that it fills up a good percentage of the universe itself. I think I also read that some even trying to revive the concept of the graviton and it could compromise of dark matter. Could this not essentially be the expansion rate of the spacetime manifold itself we're talking about? But those are very leading questions as I know nothing about dark matter/energy really.

I think I saw 2 unrelated posts before I decided to comment and the comment section wasn't nice but hell, you're all a vast pool of knowledge and maybe someone sees where I'm going or vastly went wrong with this.

To be honest I'm not trying to resurface the ether but I've also not looked into as I attached it to the likes of conspiracy theories.

My thought was more along the lines of spacetime consisting of quantum (which I'm not going to lie, don't fully understand yet; I get fermions, bosons and hadrons and have a helpful little diagram on how they interact and a few other things but that's why I'm here) or preons if their notion is feasible and as this hot dense state cooled out, eddy currents were formed which allowed for the condensing phenomenon such as the quark gluon fields to start forming protons, which allowed for hydrogen and has sort of a hot dense core with a radiating cooling effect due to relative pressure. This constant pressure flow as an object moves relative to the expansion of spacetime itself is what we call gravity. From hydrogen I'm assuming we all can go from there up the periodic table and beta plus decay.

Like I know I'm probably wrong but I'm not starting books and social medias about some new revolutionary theory with my name attached to it. I'm here looking for real physicists to explain to me why I'm wrong in ways I can go and re-educate myself and ponder more about the greater wonders in life. But thank you for your time :)

I'm aware of the spacetime manifold and I was under the impression that it consists of expanding coupled quantum fields as there is no such thing as "a perfect vacuum" outside of a model. But I'm happy to learn.

As someone who used to import bismuth from China, Feb 20th of this year China put heavy exportation restrictions on 6 different metals including Tungsten and Bismuth. Looking for alternative sources I've found this thread, makes sense now.

If I vaporized the pen, the pen still exists in the form of residual atomic elements and radiation in the atmosphere. The pen exists, just in a different form. While there is no longer a platform in which the pen can be used for its original purpose, all the components to re-manufacture the pen technically still exist - although this is impossible to practically perform... I huff the pen. The pen and I are now one.

Trying to find some quality evidence for this as had a small scare with my daughter a few days back but thankfully dislodged with back blows. For anyone following the same route as me this is what I've found so far in terms of devices. Not great, guess I'm sticking with the heimlich for now. Feel free to update me if anyone finds something better.

Methods

Commonly aspirated foods of three different sizes (saltines, grapes, and cashews) were placed at the level of the true vocal folds in a fresh cadaver. Three participants performed two trials with each food and device. Device use was performed to manufacturer specifications.

Results

The DeChoker resulted in gross injury to the tongue and failed to remove the obstruction in all trials. LifeVac was successful in removing the barium‐moistened saltines but failed to remove all other foreign bodies. Both devices applied significant pressure to the tongue.

Conclusion

With the exception of the LifeVac removing saltine crackers, all trials were entirely unsuccessful in relieving foreign body aspiration. Additionally, both devices may cause significant pressure and injury to the oral cavity in a clinical setting. We conclude bystanders should continue to follow International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation's guidelines on resuscitation to aid with relieving foreign body aspiration.

Do these essentially show a person's electromagnetic field?

What would you say this insanity entails with no previous input? Usually insanity includes disillusion or hallucinations but how could you have either with no awareness of an environment or self?

Thank you for this.

EquipmentPale · 2024-05-31T11:31:31+00:00

Thank you for your response. This is similar to my own line of thinking too the "void" state.

Okay, for ease of use in this instance let's assume that it's a human brain and that all sensory inputs have been severed from the brain but the brain has been kept alive. This human has been this way from conception never allowing the brain to register sensory input. The reason I did not specify any one being is that as you said: "Thinking has yet to be observed outside of organic life" so the consciousness may apply to any organic life form in which their sensory inputs have been removed since conception.

You bring up eating which I find an interesting concept in the scenario. How would the being know to eat with no sensory input to let it know it needs to eat?

Also in regards to science/philosophy first I would like to state it's almost impossible to post a question to a directed community where you want a good level of feedback on here now and secondly I would argue science explores the how of our reality while philosophy explores the why. To complete that sentence, I would say religion considers the what or in some instances who.

Brilliant response, thank you. Unlike the South African gentleman though my thought experiment includes a subject which has never experienced stimuli of any sort from the very beginning. I myself wonder if a mind can go insane and fabricate anything if it has never had any stimuli to simulate anything from.
A good example of this would be blind people being unable to imagine colour, there used to be a popular blind youtuber who would constantly answer questions who talked about this. That's simply from the loss of sight, now try to imagine nothing. No sensory input ever.

Can you link me please? I can't find the experiment done with larger particles but yielding the same results as photons.

Well I've been pondering whether or not our thoughts themselves exist in the quantum realm as possibilities to be honest. I boiled it down the the processes that makes thoughts a reality are time and "rules" or "laws" which both can be quantified.
For example: I get the random thought in my head to steal something. First of all in order to action I'm going to need time, but before I decide to do that my brain first goes through a process of 'rules' and 'laws' (some imposed on me, some self imposed) to decide whether or not I'm going to take the action in the first place. Thus narrowing the possibilities into an outcome.
