Quantum gravity: Difference between revisions

    Massive objects distort the aether lattice, creating a curvature or distortion similar to the bending of space-time in general relativity. This distortion would affect the propagation of other disturbances (like light or other particles), and that’s how we perceive gravitational effects.

    Gravitational interactions occur when particles move through these distorted regions of the aether, and the strength of gravitational attraction depends on how much mass distorts the lattice.

    Quantum gravity would then involve understanding how these distortions, when viewed at very small scales (quantum scales), manifest in terms of quantized disturbances or discontinuities in the lattice.

    Gravity could emerge from interactions between these discontinuities. Just as electromagnetic forces arise from the exchange of photons (which are quantized disturbances), gravitational forces might emerge from the interaction of gravitational waves or disturbances in the aether lattice.

    The graviton (in quantum gravity) might be seen as a quantized version of these gravitational disturbances, analogous to how photons are quantized electromagnetic disturbances.

    Gravitational waves, like light waves, would propagate through the aether, but their interaction with the lattice could also cause them to behave quantized under certain conditions, similar to how light can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties depending on the context.

    General relativity describes gravity as the warping of space-time, and in the aether model, this warping can be seen as the distortion of the aether lattice. This could be reconciled with quantum mechanics, which deals with discrete events (discontinuities) by considering that the way energy and mass interact with the lattice is governed by quantized disturbances.

    This would allow for a discrete approach to gravity, which is essential for a quantum theory of gravity. Instead of treating gravity as a smooth, continuous curvature of space-time, it could be interpreted as a discrete disturbance propagating through the lattice, interacting with other discontinuities (like mass or energy).

    At the singularity of a black hole, the density of the aether lattice could become so distorted that the lattice itself might reach a breaking point. This could be viewed as a situation where the quantum structure of the aether no longer functions normally, leading to an extreme disturbance that might behave differently from ordinary matter and energy.

    Instead of focusing on the infinite curvature of space-time as in general relativity, the aether model might suggest that at the core of a black hole, the lattice becomes so dense and disrupted that quantum gravity effects (such as the quantization of space-time) lead to extreme and unpredictable behavior.

    At the Planck scale, the lattice would become incredibly dense and complex, with disturbances or discontinuities interacting in ways that are difficult to predict. The "foam" could be seen as a manifestation of localized quantum fluctuations in the aether lattice, where the structure becomes very non-linear and chaotic, leading to fluctuations in the fabric of space-time.

    The Planck length, Planck time, and Planck mass could then be seen as the intrinsic scales at which the aether lattice begins to exhibit quantum effects. This is the scale at which quantum gravity phenomena, such as the behavior of gravitons and the quantization of space-time, would become important.

    Gravity is not a force transmitted through empty space but a disturbance in the aether lattice caused by mass and energy.

    The quantization of gravity could emerge from quantized disturbances in the lattice, similar to how photons are quantized electromagnetic waves.

    The structure and properties of the aether provide the underlying framework for understanding both gravitational effects and quantum mechanics.

    The Planck scale represents the limit at which the properties of the aether lattice become significant, and quantum gravitational effects would be observed.
