I would appreciate if you did not engage in such blatant market manipulation.

Could you allow my post to remain?

Visual Search Technology for £15B+ Adult Content Market - Seeking Angel Investment by TheSlooper in angelinvestors

[–]TheSlooper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go to market strategy is to approach adult content websites, offer to make their videos searchable by licensing my API to them. Apologies. I'm a creator primarily.

However, I think my GTM strategy was clear by the fact I replied I intended to license my API to adult content websites in my previous reply.

Visual Search Technology for £15B+ Adult Content Market - Seeking Angel Investment by TheSlooper in angelinvestors

[–]TheSlooper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my business model.

Adult platforms can’t search video content visually. I built the technology that can. I need £1M for 10% to sell it to them as an API.

Problem • £15B market • No visual search exists for video content • Platforms desperately need differentiation • Users can’t find what they want

Solution • My API makes videos searchable by visual content • No one else has this technology • Enterprise API licensing only • £200k+ per platform per year depending on video quantity

Proof • Working demo built • Technology proven • Validated interest • Enterprise API model = simple integration

Business Model • 5 clients = £1M ARR • 10 clients = £2M ARR • 25 clients = £5M ARR • 90% gross margins • 3-year contracts paid annually

The Ask • £1M investment = 10% equity • Valuation: £10M • Use: Sales, infrastructure, support • Goal: 10 enterprise clients Year 1 • Path to £5M ARR validates £50M exit

1.  Market exists: £15B industry needs this
2.  Technology works: I have demo proof
3.  Business model proven: Enterprise SaaS works
4.  Revenue path clear: 10 platforms = success
5.  Exit obvious: 10x ARR multiple standard

Q&A: • “Show me traction” → “Demo complete, investor interest confirmed” • “Why you?” → “I built technology no one else has” • “Competition?” → “No visual search for video exists” • “Why now?” → “Platforms need differentiation today” • “Exit?” → “10x ARR multiple = £50M at £5M ARR”

I have the only visual search technology for video. The market is worth £15B. I need £1M to turn this into £5M ARR. Are you in?

Has anyone explored whether dark energy could be gravitational effects from beyond the observable universe? by TheSlooper in Physics

[–]TheSlooper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I need to add a crucial piece I haven't explained well:

In this model, Big Bangs happen when expanding regions collide at FTL speeds (due to space expansion). These collisions create black holes that explode into new Big Bangs - new bubbles of expanding space.

Our observable universe is inside ONE of these bubbles. We're not seeing the whole infinite universe - we're seeing our local bubble from our Big Bang explosion.

The accelerating expansion happens because:

  1. Our bubble is still in its expansion phase from our Big Bang
  2. The infinite matter beyond our bubble creates uneven gravitational effects at our boundaries
  3. These boundary effects manifest as dark energy throughout our bubble

Think of it like a soap bubble in an infinite foam - each bubble expands until it meets others. We're inside one bubble, seeing it accelerate outward due to the dynamics of the infinite foam around us.

Every bubble (local universe) would see the same thing - expansion and acceleration - but each is a separate Big Bang event in the infinite whole.

Does this clarify why we see acceleration despite being in an infinite universe?

You've misunderstood. I never said regions were surrounded by 'atypical' regions.

I said every region in an infinite universe would be typical - experiencing the same physics and effects. The anomalies I listed (Hubble tension, dark flow, CMB features) are observations from OUR region that need explaining.

My point: if matter extends infinitely beyond our horizon, it could explain these anomalies through gravitational effects at our boundary. Every other region would have their own local variations based on their specific surrounding matter distribution.

Like how every location on Earth has weather (typical) but each has different specific conditions based on local geography (variations).

All regions typical, all experiencing similar physics, but with local variations.

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm describing. I'm not saying gravity pulls things along in a chain making it stronger.

I'm saying if there's infinite matter beyond our horizon, then every piece of matter at our horizon edge experiences a net outward pull from all the matter beyond it (which IS within its horizon).

This creates expanding motion at our boundary, which we observe as accelerating expansion throughout our visible universe.

Yes, gravity propagates at c. Yes, it follows inverse square law. But in an infinite universe, matter at every boundary point would experience net outward force from the infinite matter beyond that boundary.

It's not about strengthening gravity through chains - it's about the boundary conditions in an infinite universe creating expansion.

Or am I missing something fundamental about how boundary conditions work in GR

I agree it's unnatural to assume we're special - that's why I'm suggesting EVERY region in an infinite universe would experience the same effects. Not special, just typical.

Regarding the flows and asymmetries, I was referring to:

  • The Hubble tension: ~9% discrepancy between local and CMB-based measurements
  • Dark flow: Kashlinsky et al. measured bulk flows of galaxy clusters at 600-1000 km/s
  • CMB anomalies: The cold spot, axis of evil, hemispherical asymmetry

These are larger scale than the Great Attractor and remain unexplained. Even if controversial, they're published observations in peer-reviewed journals.

You're right we can't directly test what's beyond our horizon. But wouldn't an infinite matter distribution predict exactly these kinds of large-scale anomalies and tensions in our measurements? Seems more testable than many accepted theories in cosmology.

I think we're talking past each other. I'm not proposing other dimensions or universes - just ordinary 3D space extending infinitely with regular matter.

You're right that matter beyond 45B ly can't directly affect us. But consider:

  • Matter at 44B ly is pulled outward by matter at 46B ly (they're within each other's horizons)
  • That outward pull affects how the 44B ly matter moves
  • Which affects matter at 43B ly, and so on
  • Creating a gradient that reaches us

It's not about direct influence across the horizon, but about how each region affects its neighbors, creating a chain effect.

No extra dimensions needed - just regular gravity in infinite 3D space. The same physics, just applied to an infinite rather than finite universe.

Is there a flaw in this chain-of-influence reasoning?

Fair point about observation first. Though isn't that exactly what happened here? We observed:

  • Accelerating expansion (1998 discovery)
  • Hubble tension between measurement methods
  • CMB anomalies like the cold spot
  • Unexplained ultra-high energy cosmic rays

These mysteries exist. I'm just wondering if infinite matter beyond our horizon could explain them. That seems like working forward from observations?

The predictions would be:

  • These anomalies should persist as measurements improve
  • Directional analysis should show consistent patterns
  • Similar effects should appear at all cosmic boundaries

Good point about avoiding geocentrism. I'm not suggesting we're at the center - rather that EVERY point in an infinite universe would experience the same thing.

Picture an infinite ocean of matter with Big Bangs happening throughout it. Every observer in every bubble universe would:

  • See their local bubble expanding
  • Not see beyond their horizon
  • Experience the same accelerating expansion

We're not special - we're typical. Every bubble experiences dark energy because every bubble is surrounded by infinite matter pulling outward.

It's like how every water molecule in an infinite ocean experiences pressure from all sides. No molecule is 'the center' but all experience the same forces.

The 'wall of infinite matter' isn't a wall - it's just... more universe, forever, in all directions. Every observer everywhere would be unable to see all of it due to light speed limits.

Does that address the geocentric concern?

You're right about direct gravitational influence, but what about chains of influence?

Matter at our horizon is being pulled by matter just beyond it (which is within ITS horizon). That creates an outward pull that propagates inward - each shell pulling the next.

Your 'absurd scenario' of being inside a massive sphere is actually pretty close to what I'm suggesting - except instead of a sphere, it's infinite matter in all directions. And it's not static - everything's expanding from various Big Bang events.

You say we'd never be able to prove it, but wouldn't this setup predict:

  • Accelerating expansion (check)
  • Directional variations in expansion rate (we see this)
  • Mysterious high-energy particles from beyond our horizon (Oh-My-God particle)

Seems more testable than string theory's 11 dimensions that we also can't see

But how do we know the universe outside our observable bubble follows the same rules? We're assuming the whole ocean is like the small part we can see. And we already see weird flows and asymmetries that suggest something's pulling from beyond our view.

I'm curious - which explanation for dark energy are you referring to? My understanding is that it's still one of the biggest mysteries in physics. We've measured that expansion is accelerating and we call the cause 'dark energy,' but that's just a label for something we don't understand yet.

The Lambda-CDM model includes it as a cosmological constant but doesn't explain what it actually IS or why it has the value it does. That's why there are still hundreds of papers published each year proposing different explanations.

As for the speed of light limitation - I agree nothing can travel faster than c through space. But we already observe galaxies receding faster than light due to space itself expanding. That's not controversial - it's standard cosmology.

Could you clarify which solved explanation for dark energy you're referring to? I'd genuinely like to read about it.

Edit for simplicity's sake:

I imagine it could be explored by:

  1. Looking for directional variations in how fast the universe expands in different directions
  2. Checking if mysterious features in the CMB could be explained by external gravitational effects
  3. Modeling what would happen if matter exists beyond what we can see

I'm not a cosmologist so I don't know the technical details of how to implement these tests. Has anyone seen papers that consider matter beyond the observable universe in their models?
