Special Theory of Everything

Nuts to general relativity. I'mma return to wild speculation about whatever. I still have most of 10 years to figure it all out.

Theory: All forces are an effect caused by the warping of space.

Evidence for: When you move relative to something, it gets warped. When you move relative to everything, everything gets warped. We can say, "space gets warped." This is special relativity.

Conventionally, we say "When you apply a force to an object, it moves, and its velocity causes a warping of observed space."

Instead we could say "When you warp space, you move through it." Occam's Razor favors the latter.

Not that we know how to warp space by will alone. Nevertheless, we do it all the time, simply by moving. We don't know how forces work but we use them all the time. We don't know how space warping works but we use it all the time.

Evidence against: Ain't none but tired old convention.


Theory: The universe is a singularity

Evidence for: Distance and time are observer-dependent. The shape and size of the universe is different for different observers. It seems as if shape and size, and time too, is defined by an observer. If you try to envision how a spherical light wavefront "sees" the universe under Time Relativity, you see the universe shrunk to a single point: a singularity. Without observers, there appears to be no time, and no distance, and no chronology of events or causality. Observations define the observed universe; without those observations it seems to best make sense as a singularity.

Evidence against: The above description of a universe as a singularity is an attempt to describe an observation of the universe without an observer, but still using that mathematical language of an observer. It seems more likely that it exists in some different way, with different dimensions that only appears as a singularity to our common understanding of observations. But an observation of such a universe wouldn't appear as a singularity; it would appear as the universe appears to us.

Perhaps though it is possible to describe how the universe is shaped (IE. a singularity) without being able to describe how that shape might look.
