| ARTIST'S IMPRESSION OF HYDROGEN FILAMENTS CONNECTING GALACTIC-CLUSTERS |
9 Oct 2019 - NB - An analogy: Like at the lip of a waterfall, the pull and push of gravity on wavicles of light (electromagnetic particles and radiation) is becalmed until they are very close to the object (planet, star, asteroid etc.) then they cascade inwards/downwards.

"THE COSMIC WEB" - Recent observations indicate that there is no such thing as empty space. Space, even the most remote, oldest and darkest "empty space" between clusters of galaxies, is filled with wispy filaments of hydrogen gas. These filaments connect galaxies and clusters of galaxies. Where the filaments cross each other, the hydrogen coalesces and forms or precipitates heavier matter. Over billions of years the specks of matter get together and form galaxies. It is speculated that such immense filaments of hydrogen are (or were, as we are seeing them as they were 10 billion years ago) constantly forming and feeding new galaxies.
The Cosmic Web theory tends to affirm or at least to not contradict the concepts that, over 20 or 30 years, have led to my ideas of how particles form, how mass forms and ultimately what gravity is. (Follow label "Gravity" at the end of this page).
This old set of presentation slides (originally circa 1990) shows the basis of my speculations of how mass is formed (go to slide 10) which paints a picture of light waves colliding and spiraling inwards. It was puzzling over these concepts that triggered my "What is Gravity?" theory. I still think the theory has merit. So, perhaps science should also be looking for the absence of mass, or "Casimir Glue" inside the shells of mass; as well as looking for new sub-atomic-particles or gravitons.
The existence of inter-galactic-cluster filaments also supports Fred Hoyle's and Chandra Wickramasinghe's concepts - which once proposed that particles and atoms and molecules are continuously created in "empty space". They extrapolated these ides to propose their "Viruses in/from Space" and Panspermia ideas. The tireless and constantly derided proponents of The Electric Universe - Wallace Thornhill & David Talbott, who have for decades argued that galaxies are formed and connected by electric currents - will perhaps welcome The Cosmic Web; and justifiably say "I told you so."
SCIENCE MAGAZINE 4TH OCTOBER 2019:
Glowing filaments of the cosmic web
Most gas in the Universe lies in the intergalactic medium, where it forms into sheets and filaments of the cosmic web. Clusters of galaxies form at the intersection of these filaments, fed by gas pulled along them by gravity. Although this picture is well established by cosmological simulations, it has been difficult to demonstrate observationally. Umehata et al. mapped emission from the intergalactic medium in an area around galaxies that are starting to form a cluster (see the Perspective by Hamden). They found that the gas is arranged into filaments, whose position and velocity correlate with star-forming galaxies, supporting the theoretical picture.

GRAVITY & PHOTONS - BLACK HOLES - APRIL 2019
Gravity is the relative absence or reduction of the pressure of the radiation that fills the universal ocean of radiation, which is from 13.7 to 43.7 billion-light-years deep. Contemplate "The ever tightening knot of gravity, ultimately resulting in black-holes" and "Counter-intuitively, the centre of the Sun is very dark" because the centre is most "shaded" or protected from or excludes the universal radiation. (NB between masses as per Casimir). The external radiation is the PUSH and the internal partial absence of radiation is the PULL of gravity. NCH March 2015 e-mail noel@noelhodson.com
