The model of space-time within virtual chaos is a ten dimensional continuum. Because we ourselves exist in four dimensions, conceptualizing ten dimensions is extremely difficult at best. Any expression greater than four dimensions would thus be beyond our ability to experience, directly except as an expression which presented itself in a way that appeared four dimensional.
Virtual chaos began as an attempt to visualize the ten dimensional strings of superstring theory in a way that could be translated into a four dimensional context. The result was the Zen, 2 three-dimensional virtual particles, which interact to manifest as a "point particle" in ordinary four-dimensional Space-time.
Virtual chaos must then also reconcile the ten dimensional continuum it uses with the four dimensional continuum of the standard model. [Easier said than done, but here goes]. The ten dimensions virtual chaos uses are actually nine physical dimensions of space, and one of time. The general perception is that past, present, and future are all contained within the single dimension of time, which then acts on the three dimensions of space.
If however, the past is a three-dimensional space, [that's the way I remember it], and so is the future, we can then redefine time as the dimension that ties them together. This will give us the ten dimensions we need, but it will change our perception of what time is and how it works. Before going into that, lets take a look at the nine physical dimensions and what phenomena would be associated with them.
In zero dimensions exists the graviton. It is a point and has no mass
and no energy; it merely distorts space and time in the presence of
mass and energy in four dimensions. All of the other mass/energy
manifestations would be built from this simple infrastructure. This is
not actually considered a dimension, more correctly it would be
considered the lack of a dimension.
In virtual chaos the one-dimensional particle is the neutrino. It has
only a tiny mass and inversely moves very close to the speed of light.
They are given off in abundance by the weak nuclear interaction
[fission & fusion]. Next we have the one-dimensional spin one
force, color. Color is the force that holds the quarks bound together
so tightly that they can't be seen directly. This is called the strong
nuclear force. The neutrino is said to be weakly interacting in that it
can pass through millions of miles of solid lead without interacting
with any of it, but as an expression of the strong color gluon, it
would cement its self to an exposed quark on the spot. The strength of
the strong force would then be guaranteed by the density of the
neutrinos.
The two dimensional expression of mass is the spin 1/2 electron, and
the two dimensional expression of energy is the spin one photon. The
electron is what is known as a dipole. Two rotations at right angles to
each other. Its physical shape might be thought of as like a disk with
an X on it as viewed from the side. If we were able to view it from a
perspective that allowed us to see the X we would then perceive it as a
photon. This would naturally produce the photoelectric effect.
According to relativity, an object with no length along its axis of
motion is seen as traveling the speed of light.
The three dimensional particles of virtual chaos are the quarks and the
force would be the three dimensional equivalent of the photon, the W+,
W-, and Z*. The three dimensional photons have length along each axis
and so are excluded from moving at the speed of light. The distance
that they can travel before they decay would define the diameter of the
atom while the time a naked quark can exist before being close enough
to a neutrino to interact with it would define the size of its nucleus.
This dimension doesn't quite lend itself to any easy explanation. It is
connected to zero dimensions, in that it forms a symmetry between them
which then repeats itself. Halfway between zero and four is the two
dimensional "center" around which the one and three dimensional forces
and particles would appear to be offset. That offset would appear to
then repeat itself above four dimensions, except that while angular
momentum in less than four dimensions is viewed as an expression of
energy, in more than four dimensions it is always seen as gravity.
Thus the four dimensional particle would be the graviton and the force would be the passage of time, [now]. Past and future would be seen as a matter of scale. Anything smaller happens on a faster time scale and anything larger happens on a slower one. Each dimension above four is marked by a level or scale where the force we perceive as gravity is held in a state of equilibrium by one or more of the forces from below four. These will be seen as four dimensional, since our perspective will not allow us to see anything of a higher dimensional nature.
Successive rotations of ninety degrees have so far been able to
describe the four forces which distort space-time and the particles
that are manifest, but what effect will they have above four
dimensions? Virtual chaos says that the same single force [Angular
momentum] will be at work on a much longer time scale. The larger the
distortion in time, the more massive the phenomena, and the greater the
gravitational energy.
So the fifth dimension gives rise to objects on a planetary scale. They resist the pull of gravity at their center by the strength of the electric bonds in their chemical compounds. They might be thought of as electric stars. Above a certain mass though, the strength of the electric bonds fail, add another ninety degrees of rotation.
As the strength of the electric bond fails to halt the crush of gravity
the mass is compressed so tightly that the protons which comprise it
begin to fuse. The energy released by this process directly opposes the
pull of gravity and so the collapse of the accretion disk is
temporarily in a state of equilibrium. Our sun is a prime example. This
weak nuclear interaction starts with hydrogen and fuses it into helium,
hence Helios - the sun. Eventually though, all of the helium in the
star is used up. When that happens the star would again begin to
collapse due to the weight of its massive distortion in time.
Luckily the pressure that helium fuses at is quickly realized and the star again finds temporary equilibrium. This cycle is repeated over and over again synthesizing the various light elements until finally the element of iron is reached and the fire goes out. For a small star, the strength of the repulsion of like charges in the fused protons will halt the collapse of the star and it will slowly cool to a cold iron ash. If the temporal density is high enough though, Add another ninety degrees of rotation...
In a massive star the repulsion that protons have for one another is
over come through the application of angular momentum and the collapse
continues. As the fusion power stops bubbling up from the center, all
of the material in the star, which was in orbit around the center of
gravity, goes into a free fall. The star manifests the same angular
momentum in a smaller volume by speeding up, i.e. accelerating. If this
free fall continues long enough, the acceleration will reach the speed
of light and the star will be knocked on its side in a spectacular
explosion creating the seven dimensional spin 1/2 manifestation. The
neutron star.
In a neutron star the electrons which orbited the proton matter are squeezed into it forming neutrons, the densest physical material known. The charges of the proton and the electron cancel and the star emits spin one photons in a spin 1/2 manner. They are emitted as an electron would, [electromagnetic dipole], and sweep out huge arcs of radio energy at incredible speeds.
At this pressure and volume, gravity is halted only by the strength of the neutron. When that bond fails, add another ninety degrees of rotation...
If the free fall of our supernova had gone on long enough it would have
accelerated both poles to the speed of light in turn. [This phenomenon
might also be seen on the very small side by what is called
sonoluminessence, where a sound wave is accelerated by collapse until
it can escape as a light wave]. In the case of the small, photons are
being emitted and in the case of the large photons are being absorbed.
This star would be supported by the strength of the color force. This
is the quark star - The Black Hole.
These stars would be comprised of naked quarks and as a result stop anything dead in its tracks as if it were a neutrino, [colored gluon]. Even light itself is unable to escape. The very fabric of space-time is literally bent around one axis, the same way color is one dimensional, by an acceleration greater than the speed of light is able to manifest. It is now an expression of pure temporal distortion without occupying any space. In fact it occupies negative space, opposing poles on a genus zero object [sphere] are pulled through a common center to produce a genus one object [tours]. The event horizon would be the donut hole and its size depends on the magnitude of the temporal disturbance. Large disturbances hold entire galaxies together. Time to add another ninety degrees of rotation...
Suppose the size of the temporal disturbance were too large for the
quarks to stop further angular acceleration, what then? At that point
the neutrino would be squeezed back into the quark. The color force
fails. Matter and energy would then be an indistinguishable plasma. The
material in the accretion disk of the black hole could be bent again
through the center of the tours emerging as an astrophysical jet. Two
axis of negative space. The appearance of these jets is very
interesting. They would appear to be fluid waves moving through a
viscous medium. Only space and time and its plasma remain, it is the
single particle being acted upon by the single force in the single
field. Wanna add another ninety degrees of rotation?
Space and time are dimensions which exist at right angles to each
other. The final rotation combines space and time with the plasma
[temporal density] that distorts it. Since there are nine dimensions of
space and one of time, you might think that this would be the dimension
we must use to link all of the other physical dimensions together. And
in a way we do.
The way we do that is to label it the third dimension of negative space, and allow it to flow into the first dimension of space on a scale one order of magnitude larger. The ninety degrees of rotation here is not visible, the same way there was no right angle present to get us into the first dimension.
While the idea of a "negative space" is very hard to accept, the presence of something that acts in this manner is already suggested in the notion that if you travel long enough in any given direction you will eventually return to the point you originated from. A curved space-time must, by its very definition, double back on itself. On one level we see it as the distortion of a two dimensional plane into a three dimensional sphere, and on the next, as the distortion of that sphere, into a hypersphere.
Unfortunately this creates a universe that is unbounded in scale, growing with time. The result of this would be that time must then be viewed as space, which increases, by an order of magnitude between one instant and the next.
While many people have speculated that our subatomic particles might be stars and galaxies to somebody on a smaller scale, the idea of a quantum jump the size of the universe for every passing instant of time is hard to imagine. That does not mean it can't be, it just makes it very implausible. The biggest obstacle to that would be the fact that everything in this universe would then have to be recreated exactly in a truly huge universe with only the minute variations that would be manifest as the passage of time.
We might be able to get around that however, if we view our tenth dimension as wrapping around to reenter our own universe at the bottom again. This would allow waves to cycle endlessly inward as expressions of gravity, and cycle endlessly outward as expressions of entropy.
There is however one major flaw with this idea. It requires waves, which travel faster than light, but at the same time, define the speed of light by their very motion. For example, a wave that "exited" our universe one instant, would then have to effect any given sub-atomic particle in the center of it the next. That is a distance estimated at fifteen billion light years. In essence what this idea would require is that any object be able to have an effect on any other, instantly, anywhere in the universe.
Quantum mechanics and relativity have demonstrated that correlated objects can, and do, effect each other across space at speeds faster than light. So this phenomenon is actually nothing new, and really does exist. Virtual chaos merely uses this pitfall in the standard model to its advantage. It does not violate any physical law because the only thing that is actually moving faster than light is the knowledge of an effect, a function of consciousness. The consciousness of the whole.
One parting shot before we go: the knowledge of an effect actually moving faster than light is the functional equivalent of faith. Both parties in this debate are solidly entrenched in their particular belief system. The spiritual group believes that a higher consciousness is responsible for the creation and maintaining of the universe, while the scientific community clings to the faith that an undiscovered "something" will allow them to explain this conundrum in a way that their own consciousness is capable of understanding. Neither of these views is certain, yet each believes unwaveringly that their faith is correctly placed. If we are each in fact, a part of that higher consciousness, then from where I sit, they both seem to be fighting over how to say what is essentially the same thing. Go Figure.
