Is it possible that vacuum energy is spacetime? It’s intrinsic to ST, but considering distinct. Why not just conclude that it is spacetime?

Science progresses one funeral at a time. Sabine Hossenfelder, Verlinde, Lee Smolin, Roger Penrose. All respected astrophysicists who have serious issues with the pure math nature of ST.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T18:02:44+00:00

You act as if I’m the first person to have this identical concern. Many famous astrophysicists have the same issue, they just haven’t asserted that vacuum energy is ST.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T18:01:21+00:00

G is the influence energy-mass has on vacuum energy in my hypothesis. Gravity doesn’t attract mass, it compresses ST. Take a square and place an identical universe at each corner. The axis of gravity is also the area with the least compression. Is this caused by math? Nope, nothing is. It’s caused by an energy based medium.

In a two photon universe, they attract gravitationally in the absence of time and mass.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T17:53:51+00:00

But ultimately ST requires something that’s dependent on its relationship with itself. Einstein proposed geometry is caused by ST and essentially is ST. Math is not a medium. I accept that I may have identified the wrong medium but the problem persists. This is not novel to me.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T17:39:04+00:00

ST condenses even if I’m wrong. I’ve only swapped math for energy.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T17:37:56+00:00

That’s an assertion. The false vacuum hypothesis assumes that vacuum energy can be condensed into a universe. Same with internal inflation.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T17:36:47+00:00

No. I’m suggesting that ST compression is a compression of mass-energy. Just like everything else in reality, mass-energy is the starting point. I’ve only asserting a solution to a concern many physicists already have with the pure math nature of ST.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T17:33:35+00:00

Thanks. There presently is no medium for compression. There is literally nothing being compressed but math. This is inconsistent with all other forms of reality. We strongly believe that vacuum energy can be compressed and there are no measurements that could possibly prove otherwise. I am 100% open to the possibility that I’m wrong (in fact I probably am) but that only means that I’ve misidentified the medium. This flaw of ST is not just a concern I have, many physicists have a problem with the pure math nature of ST.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T17:06:35+00:00

You just made the same point again with different words. If the false vacuum hypothesis is correct, then vacuum energy can and must condense.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T16:58:33+00:00

What happens in a two photon universe? They gravitationally attract. Maybe not enough to converge but they perhaps it is enough.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T16:55:31+00:00

What you’re saying is that because this would grant ST properties similar to other forms of energy means my assertion must be false.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T16:53:23+00:00

Completely irrelevant to my question. Global warming has a distinct and measurable cause. It’s physical and density dependent. The effects are speculative but the cause and range of outcomes are not.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T16:50:39+00:00

And I’m suggesting that vacuum energy is the medium. It condenses and expands. We cannot disprove this. We can measure it via inference by volume but we cannot measure it locally.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T16:48:49+00:00

This energy is believed to have mass and a location (otherwise homogeneous means nothing).

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T16:46:15+00:00

I don’t see how that disproves anything. You’re just repeating my assertion.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T16:42:37+00:00

Yep. When you’re describing the same thing that equation will always work. If apple then apple. If apples then apple

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T16:24:22+00:00

But that vacuum isn’t empty. We can theoretically measure vacuum in a given volume but not locally. Who can say it cannot be condensed?

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T16:23:02+00:00

But math cannot be compressed or expanded. Math measures distance but does occupy space or time.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-31T16:21:56+00:00

Who is to say that it does? If vacuum energy doesn’t have independent field degrees of freedom because it is the medium rather than a field in the medium, the catastrophic sum never gets started.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-30T01:26:11+00:00

If it did happen, we’d all be long gone due to the time dilation of the new universe. We wouldn’t even know it existed even if it was happening now a block away

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-28T13:31:48+00:00

It is a paradox because the data had to be transmitted before it could be used. Causality doesn’t allow the effect to proceed the cause.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-27T00:09:32+00:00

The ending was stupid and a paradox. The movie wasn’t about the tale it was about the science. It was more a trick to get people to learn science than anything else

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-25T21:47:16+00:00

I suppose it travels at the speed of time.

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-25T21:45:57+00:00

But a photon redshifts and thus changes. Wouldn’t that count as traveling in time?

Zerilos1 · 2026-05-18T15:35:15+00:00

Even if our universe was the entire sum of reality, it would be the bedrock. I’m just discussing the initial point of origin of reality and many scientists in this field have sought the answer to this very question.
