Gravity-- why is it important?

In this episode, we explore the strength and significance

of gravity in our universe.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Gravity is an interesting force.

It was first thought of by Newton

as a force that attracted things to each other.

It was unclear where the force came from.

But it was described by Newton as an effect

related to the ether.

Eventually, Einstein rewrote the concept of gravity

as the result of curvature of spacetime--

that is that space and time can curve to produce an attraction.

But that this attraction is not component of the object itself,

but of the space around it-- the curvature of space around it.

Typically, the concept is given as the surface of a trampoline

or a flexible surface that would bend

as you put a heavy ball in the middle,

and then another ball would appear to be attracted.

I'd rather use the analogy of a tub

from which you pulled the plug and have this vortex.

And if you put the rubber ducky around this vortex,

it would appear to be attracted.

The gravitational force has been a big problem in physics

because it is not necessarily well adapted to quantum theory.

How does gravity interact at the quantum scale?

It is unclear in the standard model.

And the other forces, as well, have not

been defined very appropriately.

Meaning that we know there's gravity,

we know there is electromagnetic fields,

we know there is the strong force,

we know there is the weak force--

the four forces.

But we don't know where they come from.

We don't know how they got there.

We don't know what is the source energy to produce these forces.

So from the exploration I did, it

became clear that gravity was actually

the result of the structure of space spinning--

not just curving, but spinning.

So that the curvature is secondary effect

of the spinning of spacetime.

What is important here is that as I

wrote the equation for this spinning structure

of the vacuum curving creating gravity,

it became clear that gravity is actually

a secondary effect of this structure

of spacetime spinning.

And that when the spin gets to a narrow neck,

the gravity can become very, very strong.

Yet, in our current understanding of physics,

we think of gravity as the weakest force.

And this has created a lot of issues in our capacity to unify

gravity with the other forces.

I think that gravity is actually the strongest force.

And I'm going to tell you why.

If a mass is large enough, the gravitational field can be

so strong that even electromagnetic fields cannot

escape it.

It's called a black hole.

So how can it be the weakest force?

If you say this to a physicist he will say,

well, it's only because the mass density or the energy

density in that region of space is very high.

Because we make a distinction, we isolate these things.

We say mass is this, and gravity is this.

But we've never been able to measure mass without gravity

as if mass went and created the gravitational effect,

or that gravity without mass.

And this is what we discovered in this equation, is

that it's all the same thing.

It's all spacetime spinning--

including mass, energy, thermodynamics, and so on.

And so there is no distinction.

So all of a sudden you realize, well,

when the vortex of spacetime-- when the vortex of the vacuum

fluctuation gets tight enough, then gravity

is extremely strong.

So then I calculated, if that was true,

how strong gravity would become when it arrives

at the radius of a proton, and what would be the energy

level of that proton.

And I found that the proton would have an energy level

equivalent to a black hole, and that the gravitational force

of a black hole the size of the proton

would be exactly the strong force.

The strong nuclear force is one of the four fundamental

forces in nature.

As its name implies, the strong force

is the strongest force of the four.

It's responsible for binding together

the fundamental particles of matter

to form larger particles.

The other three are gravity, electromagnetism,

and the weak force.

When we discovered that force,

we didn't think it was gravity.

We called it the strong force because we thought that gravity

is too weak to do the job.

In fact, gravity is the strongest force.

And it is that force that's holding the protons together.

Because yes, we measured a mass of the proton as smaller

than the mass of a black hole.

However, the energy density of the proton

in terms of vacuum fluctuation shows clearly

that the proton has the energy of a black hole,

since its gravitational effect is exactly

the one that would be produced by a black hole that size--

not approximately, but exactly.

So when you calculate it, what you get

is exactly the gravitational coupling

constant, which is the coupling between gravity

and the strong force.

We see that the strong force is exactly the strength of gravity

for a black hole proton.

And the energy that makes the proton a black hole

is the energy of the vacuum structure spinning inside it.

What we measured when we measured the mass of the proton

is much smaller because we measure

only the energy that's able to emanate

from the surface of the proton.

And my holographic mass solution demonstrates that very clearly.

All we measure is the entropy of the proton, not

its fundamental energy state.

So then the strong force is gravity at the quantum level.

If that's true, then there's another problem that emerge.

Why is the strong force such a short range

relative to gravity?

That is, when we scatter protons away from each other,

they unstick faster than they would unstick

if gravity was involved.

That is, gravity has a range that's

the square of the distance, where the strong force

range drops at an exponential rate

as you move the protons apart from each other.

So confinement is much stronger and drops much faster.

I had to solve this.

And I realized that the solution had to do with mass dilation.

Mass dilation occurs when an object is accelerated

near the speed of light.

Just like time changes as you approach the speed of light,

Einstein discovered in special relativity

that there is a dilation of the mass as well as you

approach the speed of light, so that the mass increases.

So the impact of the proton spinning

at near the speed of light on the structure of space

is the strength of the strong force in terms of gravity.

But when you scatter the proton, when

you hit it with another proton or with an electron

and it scatters, it changes its velocity.

So the mass dilation drops as you move.

The speed of rotation drops as you move the proton away

from each other.

As the speed of rotation drops, the mass drops.

As the mass drops, the gravitational force drops.

So I calculated how fast that would all

drop as you move the protons away from each other.

And I got the exact same range as the strong force,

but using gravity in consideration

of special relativity as well, which implies mass dilation.

So it gave me the correct range and the correct strength.

This changes the picture.

Because all of a sudden, you eliminate the strong force,

and you end up with gravity, electromagnetism,

and a weak force.

But think of what we've learned so far throughout this series.

We know spacetime is spinning.

We know that when it spins, we know that it produces what

we call mass across all scales.

We know that it's the result of all these little particles

spinning together-- the Plancks, the little particles,

the pieces of information spinning together

that makes up the mass.

Well, think of those little spinning pieces of information

the little Plancks spinning-- billions

of them spinning together to make a little proton.

Think of it like the smoothie that you make in the morning

where you put all these good stuff like the fruits

and vegetables in your blender, and then you turn it on.

And you can see the little particles of all the good stuff

you put in there going around into this vortex dynamic

with the little particle going from the inside to the outside

and back through the middle of the blender

in this continuous circulation.

All of the sudden, we start to realize, wait, gravity--

this curvature in spacetime--

may be the particles falling in-- like the Planck field,

the flow of this fluid structure of spacetime falling

into the middle of the system.

And because of centrifugal forces of the spin,

the little particles get eventually

gets ejected as well, and out the middle comes the particle.

And that could be the electromagnetic fields that

are radiating from this system.

And sure enough, when we write the equations,

that's exactly what we find.

We find the thermodynamic radiating field

of the electromagnetic fields emanating from the structure

of spacetime spinning.

And we've solved this more fundamentally

even because we were able to actually use

Brownian motion, which is the position

and relationship of particles in a gas that produce

thermodynamic effects and apply it to the Planck field

like if the Planck field was a superfluid gas.

When we ran this equation, we got the holographic mass

solution.

So it actually all worked out.

And so we found the viscosity of the fluid of spacetime,

and the Brownian motion of the fluid of spacetime,

and the thermodynamics of it.

And so now we've reduced it to two forces,

where we have the radiative side being the centrifugal force--

whether it's at the quantum level.

At the quantum level, it's the weak force.

And at the cosmological level, it's the electromagnetic field

that we experience, and then the Planck

particles falling back in, which is the gravitational force that

holds it all together.

All this is the result of the Planck's field spinning again.

In other words, unification of the forces comes directly

from the Planck vacuum oscillations becoming coherent

because of spin and producing the dynamical effect that

in certain cases looks like gravity,

and in other cases looks like electromagnetic radiation,

or at certain scales looks like the strong force or the weak

interaction.

And all this emerged from one set of understanding,

one set of fundamental principle,

first principles that have to do with the statistical entropy

of the Planck field-- the dynamics of the Planck field--

the holographic mass solution.

It's very exciting because the field of physics

has been divided.

And the forces have been put in as we measured them

and as we discovered them, but nothing had been explained--

the mechanics under which these forces have been created

and have emerged.

So now we end up with the complete unified view

of these forces.

And when they make and they interact in very specific

relationship with each other, and so they

define very specific boundaries where

these interaction between the forces

are in the proper relationship.

And when they make these boundaries,

we can find eventually the quantization of spacetime

that makes up all of the scales we see in our universe.

As we get this understanding of the unification of the four

forces, we realize that, clearly,

if we know the mechanism that produced them--

which is the spin of the Planck field--

we could go in the laboratory and apply this knowledge

to get remarkable technology definitely.

And we'll talk about that.

And as we developed our understanding of these forces,

that means that we may be able to affect these forces

in our body and our consciousness

because our consciousness is a flow of information.

And if this is the fundamental flow of information

of the universe--

if these forces are the result of this flow of information

in the universe-- it means that we should be able to affect it.

So we could learn to increase the energy level, for instance,

of our body, or interact with the structure of space

in a way that is nourishing our body instead of separating

our body from the structure of space, which would

isolate it and make it ill.

Illness may actually be the result

of a decoherency of the information in a region

of space in your body.

If this is true, then you could, with your consciousness,

recreate a coherency in the body that was previously

altered or broken.

And this might be actually why there is a placebo effect.

People talk about placebo effect as if it's just

part of a statistical analysis of a data set coming

from a group of experiments.

It's a non-trivial thing that you can give medicine to one

person, and they get better.

And you can give a sugar pill to the other person,

telling them it's medicine that's

going to make them better, and they get better as well.

For 30 to some 50 in some cases, percentile of a data set,

the placebo effect is significant.

How is that happening?

It's like a miracle.

You tell someone that if they take this pill,

they're not going to have this illness anymore.

And even though the pill has nothing to do with the illness,

they get better.

There is, even at this point, tests

that were made with the placebo effect

where there was placebo surgery that was done, where

the surgeons, in some cases, open the person

and did the surgery and the person got better.

And in other cases, they opened the person,

didn't do anything in their, close the person,

and send them home.

And because the person thought they had the operation

and that the problem was fixed, well, then the problem

was fixed.

Some 30% of the people showed placebo surgery capabilities.

And so this might be the result of our consciousness,

or our intention, or beliefs affecting

the information in the structure of space,

and acting upon the forces of space and time

so that the region of the body in which there was decoherency

of the information could get back into coherency even

in mechanical ways in which the illness implies

that a mechanical surgery would have

to be made where the molecules rearrange themselves to repair

the damage.

So it's remarkable.

And it implies that not only does

this new understanding of information

in the structure of space--

in the granular structure of space--

is something that can unify physics,

but it can unify our understanding

of consciousness and information relative to our existence.

Meaning that our existence is really

just an extension of these fundamental physics that

produced the forces, that produced

mass, that produced entropy, that produced temperature,

and so on, and that the end result is one of us.

And the dynamics of spacetime is actually

very much part of our experience of awareness and consciousness.

What's important to retain here is that forces are not

separate from each other.

That forces in the universe are a flow in certain circumstances

creating this effect, and other circumstance

creating this effect.

But that they're not separate.

That spacetime, that flow is into a vortex

produces what we call mass at the same time

as it produced what we call gravity.

And that electromagnetic fields is a result

of these dynamics occurring in which

there is a force that's pulling away from the system producing

radiation, and magnetism, and electromagnetic fields.

So that we understand that this is one thing.

And that this one thing is able to produce

effects that appear separate from each other,

but they're not.

And that we are part of this unity of this one thing.

And that the ultimate emergence of our existence

may be the result of these dynamics at different scales

eventually producing the advanced dynamics

that we see in a complex human being with its capacity

to self-reflect or to have self-awareness.

What's exciting about understanding

the source of gravity at a deeper level

is that you realize that it is part of something much more

advanced and much more unified.

It's not some weird, odd thing that's

happening in the universe that we don't quite understand.

But that gravity is a secondary effect

of the dynamic of space itself.

It's all one thing.

You could think of gravity--

if you were to associate an emotion to it,

you can think of gravity as love--

what attracts, what holds to the centripetal force

of the spin of spacetime, holding like the mother holding

the hand of the child.

And that gives you an emotional relationship to gravity.

And I think that's not only a beautiful metaphor,

but as well that it gives you a sense of belonging--

a sense of belonging to something greater than you,

a sense of belonging to mechanics of spacetime

that you're embedded in and that you're

participating in at the deepest level of your existence.

And you start to sense that you're not

separate from the universe, that you're

part of this oneness of the universe.

And that makes you--

in my case, it makes me feel warm and cozy inside.

We often think of gravity as something heavy that pulls us

to the center and keeps us stuck to the surface of a planet,

for instance.

However, really, you could think of gravity

as the result of a certain set of information flow.

And you could think that this information flow can

be directed in any direction.

That is, instead of the information flow

flowing towards the center of our planet

and producing this force that holds us to the surface--

a little bit like Newton had described it--

you could think of this information flow

being able to be directed since it's

coupled to the electromagnetic field in a different direction.

And that would lead to a different way

of thinking of mass and energy.

But as well, in technological development

that could liberate humanity from the surface of the planet.

So that humanity may enter a larger gravitational field.

So you can think of gravitational fields

almost as the field of information that

holds a certain set of information

to the surface of a planet, or a solar system, or a galaxy.

And so going from one set of gravity

to another set of gravity would be

like graduating into a larger set of information--

for instance, graduating to the set of information

that's the galactic community set of information.

And as you graduate to the galactic set of information,

you would develop the technology that can bring you there.
