OOBLECK UNIVERSE
“How is pure
energy converted to matter?”
Oobleck is corn starch mixed with water. It is a
strange Non-Newtonian Fluid mixture that when hit with force, say by a hand or
a foot slapping down on it, instantly hardens. It stiffens so rapidly that
Oobleck is being investigated as a liquid armour – to stop bullets and bomb
blasts. Scientists speculate that a fast runner could run across the surface of
a pool of Oobleck water, as long as the downward slap of feet is fast enough to
cause the stiffening reaction.
“Ordinary” pure water is legendary for its almost
unique counter-intuitive diverse forms – ice, liquid, structured water, steam
and as super-cooled water climbing glass walls; manifesting strange properties,
which most of us are familiar with – and thus take for granted. Water also
becomes rigid (when cooled) and thick old ice is as capable of stopping bullets
as is Oobleck.
We are aware that most if not all materials exist in
different states depending on temperature and pressure – from lava to quicksand
to diamond to liquid nitrogen to black holes to clay and so on.
We are less aware that Light – the entire electro-magnetic spectrum - also may exist in
different forms. Light has been slowed down and even stopped - or at least
slowed a million fold - and re-started.
There is a 2007 theory that Light could become a solid.
But to date solid light remains a theory – if we
exclude the photon /wave paradox. Are photons “solid” light? However, it is
axiomatic and so self-evident that it is rarely stated, that light is the
fundamental stuff of the universe. Everything is made of light and this can be
clearly demonstrated in clean nuclear explosions, where uranium and other
fissionable materials are completely released to return to their light form –
with an E=MC2 flash and sound wave that destroys every structure
within range. As the fundamental building block, light must logically (1) have
some mass and (2) act as a Non-Newtonian fluid does in order to take forms such
as the almost eternal proton.
Light is the
ultimate ephemeral gaseous unbounded penetrable, permeable field – and - is the
most rigid structured element in the universe.
Do the light waves form the infinite field? Are photons
the particles of matter that can link to become impenetrable crystalline
structures?
Accepting “C” 300,000 KPS, as the limit of propagation
of light – and the speed limit of all else in the universe; applying E=MC2
to a gram of matter which is attempting to reach and exceed “C” resolves to the
answer that the gram of matter has acquired infinite mass and cannot be
accelerated any faster than light-speed.
To the accelerating gram, the universe has become an
impenetrable, immovable, infinitely heavy field which cannot permit anything to
move through it. Is this “wall”, which is encountered at 300,000 KPS, the
equivalent of the hand slap on the surface of a pool of Oobleck? Does “C”
applied to the universal field of light convert the light, this most mysterious
fluid, into one of its many characteristic forms and functions?
I think we ought to accept for the next phase of
scientific speculation that light is both waves and particles – we have no
understanding of how or why but the wavicle theory has been rigorously tested
and observed for 100 years and not yet disproved. So, it could be taken, at
least for the next hundred years, as an axiom, a fundamental fact of nature.
Regarding light as the basic stuff and fluid of the universe and allowing it to
manifest as waves and as particles, it becomes a fluid ocean in which all
things swim. We happily accept the five or six diverse forms of water or
hydrogen or iron, how much more easily should we accept that light has
different forms? If so, light could be
the Aether-Matrix, fluid enough to be an oceanic field which enables and
permits all radio communications – which emit from and are absorbed by all
phenomena – and rigid enough to record all broadcast data (from all phenomena
at all times) and rigid enough to create the structure and permanence, the
inertia of the world around us, which we all undeniably experience, from stars
and galaxies to abandoned beer bottles.
Taking light as the Aether-Matrix, we can speculate
that an energetic event, the alleged Big-Bang for example, creates and propels
a perfect sphere of light waves – which expands in accordance with Hubble
observations. The massless, spherical wave races out towards the terrifying
oblivion of the Dimensionless No-Thing “outside” of our universe – stretching
and attenuating its own, probably sentient, energy field as it propagates. The
edge of oblivion, of non-existence, and its “internal” partial vacuum of
attenuation, causes the wave to pause or slow its headlong flight. This pause
limits the rate of propagation to the now familiar 300,000 KPS. God, or Richard
Dawkins, who has initiated the first wave, now sends or triggers a second wave
which follows the first at infinite speed, until the second wave collides with
the hesitant first wave and it too slows to the universal speed limit. In this
collision, the front wave and following wave intermingle and where they cross,
vortices form and where the vortices form, there are made photons. In no time at
all, the (expanding) universe is full of energy waves propagating or vibrating
at 300,000 KPS – and is full of photons that do have slight mass.
As the (sentient) endless nested energy spheres expand
from the centre of the energetic event (God or Dawkins) to create the basic
universal electro-magnetic field, the vast numbers of photons gain new impetus
and more energy as the waves pass by. The photons are essentially, relatively
static fundamental indestructible particles (of slight mass) which are illuminated
by the expanding waves. When examined in
laboratory experiments, new energetic events, expanding as spheres, energise
in-situ photons in the existent Aether-Matrix, on all sides of the central
event, e.g. heating a filament in a light bulb – and thus the photons appear to be moving apart at twice the “speed of light”. Einstein's "Spooky action at a Distance". QED
