Is Modern Physics Stagnant? A Deep Dive into Topology
Zusammenfassung
At FriendZone | Make Friends ⋅ Fun Chill Active Chat ⋅ VC Social Gaming ⋅ Memes ⋅ Nitro Emojis ⋅ Anime, our community dives into complex topics beyond just gaming. This announcement sparks a heated discussion on the limitations of current cosmological models, questioning why mainstream physics avoids richer topologies like S3 or S4. It challenges the reliance on flat R3,1 space and explores how non-linear topological structures could solve modern scientific stagnation.
If u think so then
Next, the Standard Model is basically like the unified equation for particle physics. It tries to bring all forms of fundamental particles, their interactions / forces into one equation.
It uses specific 'groups'. You can think of these as actions that preserve the symmetries of particles and their freedom. Similar to how knots are preserved in a thread when you can't tear it,[Sorry, I can't dumb it down further for now], or like how many rotations are possible in 3-d, etc.
These are complex, exotic groups that have interesting properties. This arises mathematically from the universe.
Now, if the universe is screaming complex groups and symmetries at the subatomic level, why not higher up ?
btw im still reading and trying to get my thought together
So, let us say you start to model the universe as a topologically rich environment. Naturally, you then allow particles to exist as embedded within the universe [solitons, like the knots in the thread].[A lot of theories that are not mainstream start exactly like this, like Skyrme, Hopf, etc]
But, there's a problem, not with these models, but the mathematics.
Solitons and the medium become non linear, and even non local.
Now, physicists and cosmologists do not fancy non linearity.
Linearity and linear models are predictable. It is as, if you double the input, the output is doubled, etc, thus, quite predictable, and you can easily use computers to model such equations and their solutions.
Non linearity is the opposite. Things are not predictable. Slight increase may destroy the output, increase it too much, you do not know. Non linear equations are also incredibly messy to solve, computers have a tough time dealing with them as compared to linear ones.
Non locality means being influenced by the past.
Until now, physicists model the universe as this uniform, linear, local spacetime so that it is easy to deal with equations and simulate the universe.
Say, even relativity and Einstein's gravity is non linear ! So are so many other phenomenon.
But physicists largely use linear approximations to simulate everything.
See the problem ?
BTW, non linear gravity is so complex, that when gravitational wave are produced, since they themselves bend spacetime, they also act like mass ! Thus, more waves, and so on. It becomes very complex.
Thus, physicists avoid such messy mathematics, but that is the next step that must be taken.
I couldn't understand most of it kinda 😅 mb but I do wanna learn and eventually get like you but basically from my understanding they are restrictions the universe by adding imaginary boundaries instead of viewing for it actually
Well, you understand the core problem then, that's good !
I'm no expert lol.
I know nowhere enough math to understand the new non linear theories, not even enough for the standard model yet lol.
You can go to the less nerdy ones then.
Sorry for that, I said that as you still seem to be following this one.
Beer?
Man Just BE normal
?
Whisky?
No ?
Is this considered abnormal 😅 ?
It very simple you just to choose to view it as something abnormal
And
His just dumb
Let's not call the fellow dumb, if he wishes to see this as not normal, so be it, it's not as if we need to care lol.
