3 Mysteries of the Universe - and a New Force That Might Explain Them | Alex Keshavarzi | TED

We're still in the dark about what 95 percent of our universe is made of - and the standard model for understanding particle physics has hit a limit. What's the next step forward? Particle physicist Alex Keshavarzi digs into the first results of the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab in Chicago, which found compelling evidence of new particles or forces existing in our universe - a finding that could act as a window into the subatomic world and deepen our understanding of the fabric of reality.

Except for that the singular big bang theory is a fairy tale for various reasons, the CMBR from the supposed 'bang' should be long gone by now and should not even be able to be seen by us, and the red shift observations have a more normal already known physics explanation, no dark energy nor dark matter needed.

[@johnjeffreys6440]

Why wouldn't they know why it's expanding if thy believe in the Big Bang? That's momentum unfettered, We listen to these people divulge their theories, and they don't know the answer to the most obvious. And there's 2 universes, the visible one and the invisible one, yet they never specify.

Its refreshing to see that there are experiments being conducted that yield results that aren't as immediately explainable by some established theory. I would love to hear theoretical physicists though on the results of this experiment.

[@Bobby-fj8mk]

To me it's not surprising that we can't understand what's going on. We can't detect particles that are smaller than about 1/1000th the size of a proton. There could be a whole zoo of such particles and they could have Neutrino type properties whereby they don't interact with normal matter. Some could be very massive and easily account for dark matter. Others could have the opposite effect of gravity and account for dark energy. The only way we could discover their existence is that after particle collisions at places such as CERN we might be able to account for missing mass in the same way that neutrinos were discovered.

00:37 🌌 The universe's expansion is accelerating, driven by an unknown force called "dark energy," comprising 74% of the universe's energy. 01:35 🔭 Dark matter, constituting 85% of matter in the universe, is observed indirectly through astrophysical phenomena, yet its nature remains unknown. 03:37 ⚖ The universe lacks antimatter compared to matter, posing a fundamental asymmetry yet to be explained, challenging our understanding of particle physics. 06:42 🧲 Muons, heavier cousins of electrons, are utilized in experiments like Muon g-2 to explore potential new particles or forces beyond the standard model. 09:46 📊 Results from the Muon g-2 experiment indicate a significant deviation from the standard model's predictions, hinting at potential new particles or forces influencing muons' behavior. 11:49 📈 While the Muon g-2 experiment's findings are promising, further research is needed to confirm the discovery of new particles or forces, offering insights into the mysteries of the universe.

[@charlesbrightman4237]

CMBR: (Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation): Consider the following: Per QED (Quantum Electro Dynamics, whereby 'em' interacts with the electrons in atoms and molecules) and QCD (Quantum Chromo Dynamics, whereby 'em' interacts with the nucleus of atoms), matter has to exist for 'em' to be given off by that matter. What matter exists in outer space for that microwave 'em' to be seen by us? And 'if' it were from when matter first came into existence during the fairy tale of the 'singular big bang', that 'em' should be long gone by now and should not even be able to be seen by us. BB -> Matter and 'em' are created -> 'em' moves at the speed of light, matter moves more slowly -> (Billions of years go by) -> matter (and us) here ..........................................'em' long gone. (And there is no matter 'out here' yet for any 'em' to come back to us via QED or QCD). RED SHIFT: WARNING: (CONTAINS EXISTENTIAL MATTERS): Consider the following: a. Current narrative: Space itself is expanding. (Even though science does not fully know yet what 'space' actually is nor how it could actually expand). b. But consider: The net effect of solar winds, particles and energy pushing outward from galaxies, (even modern science claims 'em' has momentum), continuously, over a prolonged period of time, with other galaxies doing the same, with nothing to stop them from doing so, would tend to push galaxies away from each other and even potentially allow the cosmic web to form between galaxies. And then, when we here in our galaxy, look at far away galaxies, with other galaxies in between, the net effect of all those galactic interactions would have galaxies furthest from ours move away faster the further those galaxies were from us, including us perceiving a red shift of energy. c. Now, utilizing the scientific principal of Occam's razor, which way is more probably correct? What the current narrative is ('a' above), or 'b' utilizing known physics? * Added note: Plus, 'if' my analysis is correct that our spiral shaped galaxy is collapsing in upon itself, then consider also: d. When we look at solar systems between ours and the center of the galaxy, those solar systems would be getting pulled faster towards the center than ours, hence also seeing a red shift of energy. e. When we look at solar systems between ours and the outer edge of the galaxy, our solar system would be getting pulled faster towards the center then them, hence also seeing a red shift of energy. f. Only if we looked at solar systems adjacent to ours should we see a blue shift of energy (as the solar systems became closer together as they moved towards the center of the galaxy). I also propose looking for blue shifts of energy between our solar system and adjacent solar systems to confirm or deny this current belief. g. But if true, would also add to our observation of seeing a red shift of energy in this universe as our spiral shaped galaxy collapses in upon itself. Of which, not only would species from this Earth have to get off of this Earth before the Sun becomes a red giant one day and wipes out all life on this Earth if not even the entire Earth itself, but species from this Earth would also have to successfully get out of this collapsing spiral shaped galaxy, otherwise, most probably death awaits us all and this Earth and all on it are all just a waste of space time in this universe. All life from this Earth would eventually die and go extinct. Currently, no exceptions. h. QUESTION: Do basically all galaxies eventually collapse in upon themselves? (Which would add to the perceived red shift between galaxies as they all basically shrink in size). Modern science currently states that 'gravity' is matter bending the fabric of spacetime. There is a lot of matter in a galaxy and hence would make a huge dent in spacetime. How could galaxies not collapse in upon themselves if space and time were bent to make it so? Of which also, the progression of galaxies?: 1. How exactly do galaxies form? (The current narrative is that matter, via gravity, attracts other matter. The electric universe model also includes universal plasma currents.) 2. How exactly do galaxies flatten out if gravity is acting on the whole galaxy? (Other forces must also be at work besides gravity for a galaxy to flatten out? Electrical and/or magnetic forces?) 3. How exactly do galaxies become spiral shaped? (At least one way would be orbital velocity of matter with at least gravity acting upon that matter, would cause a spiral shaped effect. The electric universe model also includes energy input into the galaxy, which spiral towards the galactic center, which then gets thrust out from the center, at about 90 degrees from the input. Additionally, with the conservation of energy, as energy moves into the vertical plane from the center of the horizontal plane, energy from the horisontal plane moves to the center of the horizontal plane to replace the energy that moved into the vertical plane. There is also the conservation of angular momentum. As more matter moves towards the center of the galaxy, that portion of the galaxy would speed up relative to the matter towards the outer portions of the galaxy.) Additionally: GALAXY SPIN: (Inner and Outer areas spinning at the same speed): The inner and outer areas of the galaxy are connected via gravitational, electrical, and magnetic energy fields. While moving at the same speed, the inner area has less space to travel whereas the outer area has more space to travel. Hence a spiral shape forms. 4. The natural progression of a galaxy would be to become smaller and smaller. 5. Of which, does all life throughout the entire universe (if other life even exists in the universe besides what is on this Earth, which is most probably true) eventually die and go extinct and the entire universe and all in it are ultimately meaningless in the grandest scheme of things and the entire universe and all in it are ultimately just a waste of spacetime in existence? And even 'if' the current narrative of space itself is expanding, and the entire universe would eventually end in a 'big freeze', wouldn't the end of life itself in this entire universe still occur?

[@kaydianpayne]

very well explained and super interesting and exciting

[@brussels13207]

He says that dark matter HAS to exist. That is only true if we assume our understanding of gravity is 100% correct. What if our understanding of gravity is NOT completely correct?

[@sechura3698]

Just to be clear, you're suggesting gravity is blocking this light at 2:00 ? I think you meant dark energy.

[@blogsfred3187]

He is correct in that an alternative model is called MOND or modifified Newtonian gravity, which is an alternative but it is struggling to match observations but is still a potential theory for dark matter

[@DanPye]

My very limited understanding is that even though some MOND models fit some galaxy simulations well, none can explain the dark matter signature of the cosmic microwave background.

[@MrTuneslol]

There is any number of ways we could be wrong regarding these measurements. Just as an example the James Webb is rapidly showing us just how wrong many of our assumptions have been. MOND isn't the only alternative, nor is gravity necessarily the abberant variable.

[@mj200]

That's not necessarily true. We can be wrong about gravity and still be correct about dark matter.

[@deucedaprodeuca]

The problem is, there cannot be an equal amount of matter and anti-matter. When they interact, they both get destroyed. We exist because there was one more particle of matter than anti-matter (in a nutshell). Anti-matter can be created in the Hadron Collider, in the sun's rays, as a bi-product of radioactive decay, an particle interactions. Natural anti-matter also exists in small amounts in space, but not for long. Upon any interaction with matter, the matter and anti-matter both are destroyed. Maybe it's possible that dark matter is the result. No one can pretend to know.

[@ericswain4177]

The difficulty of this material universe reality is as we learn and discover what we think as facts and truths but we constantly are hit with new problems and questions likely in greater numbers than those we have seemingly solved. This should tell you something, are we getting more and more wrong ? otherwise, we should be getting closer to right and less not more problems and questions.

[@alaminior]

Not necessarily. Perhaps there's a lot to dig up and the more we learn, the more we realize what we don't know.

[@Sentrme]

Measuring and testing in the world of Standard Model of particles is much more difficult than testing 1 to 1. Primarily because everything has to be measured and tested based on our tech ability to detect these particles. You also have to filter out external particles affecting the control experiment. There are many Dark Energy/Matter experiments in the world.100% that have tested billions and billions of collisions and measurements. Our new fast networks were created because CERN needed them for massive amounts of data.

[@duncanmmurray]

Can we not make a lens to see matter in the anti scale (going backwards)?

[@Danny_6Handford]

So far, it appears that the universe started as something tiny and started to expand to what we can observe and detect today. It also appears that anything we can observe or detect is made from extremely tiny particles which interact and combine with each other based on some fundamental predetermined rules. We have identified quit a few of these extremely tiny particles and have identified quit a few of the rules these particles follow to interact and combine. Perhaps most of the particles and most of the rules but there probably are more. We also discovered that anything that we can observe or detect is made from the same basic stuff and we call this stuff energy. We know this because we have figured out how to calculate a value or quantity of energy for anything that we can observe or detect. I think we can say the fabric of the universe is space time but we can also say that the fabric of the universe is energy time because we now know that space is not empty and is also some type of energy and we can calculate or at least estimate how much energy is in a given volume of space. It also appears that after the universe started to expand, no more energy was added or removed as it continued to expand. We do not know what the rules were that determined the amount of energy in the universe nor what caused the energy in the universe to start expanding. The rules for how energy expands, transforms, interacts and combines cause energy to cycle from concentrated to diluted states. Although the cycles can be repeated almost an infinite number of times, there will be a time when they stop because as the cycles keep repeating, the total amount of energy in the universe keeps becoming more and more diluted. We call this rule entropy. At some point in time, all the energy will become so diluted that it will not be able to cycle back into more concentrated states and we think this is when the universe ends. We still do not know the rules before the universe started to expand and we still do not know the rules after the universe ends and there are probably still many rules that we do not know about that causes the energy in the universe to cycle back and forth from concentrated to diluted states as it continues to expand.

Unclear how they could tell that a lot of the anti matter is missing.

[@Awrethien]

Its to long to go into detail in a comment but basically the best mathematical models that explains how all the matter was created dictates there should be an equal percentage of anti mater. So either the modals are fundamentally wrong somehow despite working in every other scenario, there is something fundamentally different about antimatter we don't know about, or there is something else we have so far missed entirely. Personally I'm hoping its the latter as that leaves openings for some of the more fun scifi-esk concepts.

[@CornPopWazABadDude]

We live in a freaking simulation... Atoms act exactly how a computer simulation/program would act when in the presence of cameras. Even if the cameras are unplugged with no power going to them, their presence alone causes the atoms to behave differently. This can be repeated 100 percent of the time. Don't believe it? Look it up.

@@Awrethien I understand that one woujd expect an equal amount of anti-matter in relation to matter, but I don't understand how they determined that in fact there's a lot of anti matter missing.

[@jamesgabor9284]

How can they tell? Well, go on then, where is it? (The antimatter problem has been solved because antimatter acts differently under the weak force, meaning that some normal matter survived and almost no antimatter did.

Dark Energy is like a filler which enables it to be the connection for all other Energies in this Universe. It is like the water of a soup and the other Energies are the ingredients but it is a critically necessary part of the structure of this Universe for its movement and for the sending and receiving of information through, too and from other particles.

[@Casevil669]

While interesting thought experiment it's unlikely

[@disgruntledwookie369]

You can get 80% of the way to an explanation for all 3 problems by just assuming antimatter has negative mass. According to GR such matter would create a negative curvature in spacetime instead of the usual positive curvature. This accounts for the asymmetry between matter and antimatter. N-body simulations including negative mass show promising results in reproducing the large scale structures of the universe as well as dark matter halos and matching galactic rotation curves. Recent experimental evidence even might support the idea since antimatter has been observed possibly falling slightly slower in Earth's gravitational field, which is consistent with the predictions from GR. It also goes a long way to help explain dark energy, since the intersteller/intergalactic medium would be composed of an ultra diffuse fluid of negative mass, leading to a large scale negative curvature of the universe, sprinkled with islands and filaments of locally positive curvature. Some extra stuff is needed to account for the fact that dark energy appears not to be diluted with the expansion of space. The theory can even account for ultra high energy cosmic rays as matter-antimatter pairs occasionally chase each other to relativistic speeds while still being in an inertial frame, effectively a warp field.

[@2Bretter]

If the chances are 99,9975 % that we have seen the influence of a new particle or force and 0,0025 % that the messurement is a fluke, how are the chances that we just misinterpreted the existing forces? Why do we need a new force or particle to adjust the standard model?

[@d.Cog420]

@@Sentrme just a different way of looking at it, kind of inserts some humility into who we think we are and also how we learn. A child sees something for the first time and goes look what I found mummy all up in their ego, whereas an adult will be content with learning new things knowing there are many more things to learn and that all is a part of something else. This allows a more open mind to possibilities and also helps the concept our place. Perhaps in this case, instead of aiming to find ‘the missing force’ you take a step back, realising you have no idea what you’re looking at or for, and consider a range of possibilities. Is it one force or maybe a set of forces working together, or some thing outside our range of present understanding or the range of the tools we have to uncover it so check the tech side harder, which I’m sure they are doing. Hard to describe, just a touch of humility goes a long way toward realising stuff in my experience and I think we need a bit more of that in light of upcoming changes on how we live on the planet, and with ourselves and all else on it.

[@xpndblhero5170]

1:40 - What you are seeing is the explosion of matter in a space w/ no matter and just like on earth when you have an explosion, it drags regular air w/ it when it expands... That's exactly what happens on a larger scale but it drags empty space that makes it have a little more energy than it normally does. I keep trying to find a good example of it but the only thing that compares is super slow-mo footage of high explosives because of the scale.... Very large explosions are almost identical to smaller explosions in slow motion and some of the ones using gasoline or another liquid fuel are amazingly similar to supernovae, it's awesome.

the universe expands because the beginning was an implosion not an explosion. We are falling into the singularity, not expanding into the nothingness. The center is getting further away from the edge for sure, but the edge has nothing to expand into. So all we can say is that the center is falling away from the edge as if it were falling down hill.

IN THE SEARCH FOR THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING: QUESTIONS: 1. How does a photon, rotating electrical and magnetic forces 90 degrees to each other and considered massless, go across the vast universe for billions of light years and not be flung apart and/or torn apart by other photons, including photons of the same exact energy frequency, and/or by matter, matter being made up of quarks, electrons and interacting energy, quarks and electrons being considered charged particles each with their respective magnetic field with them? 2. What exactly is 'space' and how exactly does space contract, expand and warp? 3. What exactly is 'time' and how exactly does time vary and warp? 4. 'Speed' is distance divided by time, 'distance' being 2 points in space with space between those 2 points. But modern science claims that both space and time can vary and warp. So, how could the 'speed of light' ever be constant across the vast universe 'if' space and/or time are varying and warping? (See also items 2 and 3 above). 5. What exactly is 'gravity'? And for those who claim that gravity is matter warping the fabric of spacetime, see also items 2 and 3 above. 6. How exactly do numbers and mathematical constants exist for math to do what math does in this existence? Surely the very nature of reality must allow numbers and mathematical constants to exist and do what they do in this existence. And 'if' space and time can warp and vary, are mathematical constants only constant in a specific configuration of space and time? What about truthful reality of other configurations of space and time? A circle is a circle in this current space and time configuration, but in actual reality is even a circle possibly something other than a circle in a different space and time configuration to warp such that for example a circle is not a circle?

We do know most of those things 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

He only knows there's extra gravity, not that it's caused by matter!

[@user-rg8lj7xn1i]

You could say that there's no antimatter because the big bang produced 5% more matter than antimatter, so the matter that was left is what we can see. Since matter and antimatter are energy and energy can't be destroyed, just transformed, black matter and black energy might be the product of that early event. No one say that this theory is wrong, because It's impossibel to disprove it today. Maybe AI will help us finding out the real answer.

THEORY OF EVERYTHING IDEA: Revised TOE: 1/24/2024a: TOE Idea: Short version: (currently dependent upon the results of my gravity test): The 'gem' photon is the eternally existent energy unit of this universe. The strong and weak nuclear forces are derivatives of the electromagnetic ('em') interactions between quarks and electrons. The nucleus is a magnetic field boundary. 'Gravity' is a part of electromagnetic radiation, gravity acting 90 degrees to the 'em' modalities, which of course act 90 degrees to each other. 'Gravity' is not matter warping the fabric of spacetime, 'gravity' is a part of spacetime that helps to make up matter. The gravity and 'em' modalities of matter interact with the gravity and 'em' modalities of spacetime and the gravity and 'em' modalities of spacetime interact with the gravity and 'em' modalities of matter. TOE Idea: Longer version: (currently dependent upon the results of my gravity test): THE SETUP: 1. Modern science currently recognizes four forces of nature: The strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, gravity, and electromagnetism. 2. In school we are taught that with magnetism, opposite polarities attract and like polarities repel. But inside the arc of a large horseshoe magnet it's the other way around, like polarities attract and opposite polarities repel. (I have proved this to myself with magnets and anybody with a large horseshoe magnet and two smaller bar magnets can easily prove this to yourself too. It occurs at the outer end of the inner arc of the horseshoe magnet.). 3. Charged particles have an associated magnetic field with them. 4. Quarks, protons and electrons are charged particles and have their associated magnetic fields with them. 5. Photons also have both an electric and a magnetic component to them. FOUR FORCES OF NATURE DOWN INTO TWO: 6. When an electron is in close proximity to the nucleus, it would basically generate a 360 degree spherical magnetic field. 7. Like charged protons would stick together inside of this magnetic field, while simultaneously repelling opposite charged electrons inside this magnetic field, while simultaneously attracting the opposite charged electrons across the inner portion of the electron's moving magnetic field. 8. There are probably no such thing as "gluons" in actual reality. 9. The strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force are probably derivatives of the electro-magnetic field interactions between quarks and electrons. In the case of the alpha particle (Helium nucleus), the electro-magnetic field interactions between the quarks themselves are what keeps them together in that specific structural format. 10. The interactions between the quarks EM forces are how and why protons and neutrons formulate as well as how and why protons and neutrons stay inside of the nucleus and do not just pass through as neutrinos do. (The neutrino being a substance with a very high gravitational modality with very low 'em' modalities.) 11. The nucleus is probably an electro-magnetic field boundary. THE GEM FORCE INTERACTIONS AND QUANTA: 12. At this time, I personally believe that what is called 'gravity' is a part of electromagnetic radiation, gravity acting 90 degrees to the 'em' modalities, which of course act 90 degrees to each other. 'Gravity' is the force which allows a photon to travel across the vast universe without that swirling photon being flung apart or ripped apart by other photons and/or matter interactions. Gravity being a part of the 'em' photon could also possibly be how numbers exist in this existence for math to do what math does in this existence (the internal oscillations of the 3 different parts of the 'gem' photon, each modality having a maximum in one direction, a neutral, and a maximum in the other direction.) 'Gravity' is not matter warping the fabric of spacetime, 'gravity' is a part of spacetime that helps to make up matter. The gravity and 'em' modalities of matter interact with the gravity and 'em' modalities of spacetime and the gravity and 'em' modalities of spacetime interact with the gravity and 'em' modalities of matter. 13. I also believe that the 'gem' photon is the energy unit in this universe that makes up everything else in this universe, including eternally existent space and time. ('Space' being eternally existent energy itself, the eternally existent 'gem' photon, 'Time' being the eternally existent flow of energy, 'Space Time' being eternally existent energy and it's eternally existent flow). 14. When these vibrating 'gem' photons interact with other vibrating 'gem' photons, they tangle together and can interlock at times. Various shapes (strings, spheres, whatever) might be formed, which then create sub-atomic material, atoms, molecules, and everything in existence in this universe. 15. When the energy units unite and interlock together they would tend to stabilize and vibrate. 16. I believe there is probably a Photonic Theory Of The Atomic Structure. 17. Everything is basically "light" (photons) in a universe entirely filled with "light" (photons). THE MAGNETIC FORCE SPECIFICALLY: 18. When the electron with it's associated magnetic field goes around the proton with it's associated magnetic field, internal and external energy oscillations are set up. 19. When more than one atom is involved, and these energy frequencies align, they add together, specifically the magnetic field frequency. 20. I currently believe that this is where a line of flux originates from, aligned magnetic field frequencies. NOTES: 21. The Earth can be looked at as being a massive singular interacting photon with it's magnetic field, electrical surface field, and gravity, all three photonic forces all being 90 degrees from each other. 22. The flat spiral galaxy can be looked at as being a massive singular interacting photon with it's magnetic fields on each side of the plane of matter, the electrical field along the plane of matter, and gravity being directed towards the galactic center's black hole where the gravitational forces would meet, all three photonic forces all being 90 degrees from each other. 23. As below in the singularity, as above in the galaxy and probably universe as well. 24. I believe there are only two forces of nature, Gravity and EM, (GEM). Due to the stability of the GEM this is also why the forces of nature haven't evolved by now. 25. 'God' does not actually exist except for as a concept alone. The singular big bang theory is a fairy tale for various reasons. The CMBR from the supposed 'bang' should be long gone by now and should not even be able to be seen by us. Red Shift observations have a more 'normal' already known physics explanation, no dark energy nor dark matter needed. The universe always existed in some form and never had a beginning and will most probably never have an end. Galaxies collapse in upon themselves, 'bang', eventually generating new galaxies. Galaxies and 'life' just come and go in this eternally existent existence. DISCLAIMER: 26. As I as well as all of humanity truly do not know what we do not know, the above certainly could be wrong. It would have to be proved or disproved to know for more certainty. Currently, my gravity test has to be accomplished to prove or disprove that portion of the TOE idea. But, if not this way, then what exactly is the TOE of this existence?

[@mariloubannon5874]

Dark energy is just a theory to explain observations. The observations are correct, but I am not buying the theory, as all attempts to verify this theory failed. In my view, there is at least one ‘extra’ dimension. Since space curves, what else can it curve into except another dimension?

[@pharaohcaesar]

You want us to believe that you know there was a big bang but even so you don't know what dark matter is or dark energy or mass or even where the energy came from in the first place but yet you know there was a big bang. And you want us to believe that you know what you're talking about because of all the things you don't know. What we don't know is why anyone would give you people tax money or why you are even up there on that stage talking.

[@stephanpotgieter3236]

You wouldn't even have a working electronic device or internet connection to type this silly comment if it weren't for the continuous progression of scientific research. Have you ever used a GPS? Well they are only able to be as accurate as they are now by including effects from general relativity. No one cares what you believe, these are honest open minded people that are a lot more intelligent at solving problems than you can even perceive. You want to reap all the benefits from their work in society and then criticize like this. If you can do better, go and write your own physics to design your own electronics to build your own computer. Then you can confidently type this comment with it.

Perhaps we are still in the big bang. The acceleration and speed creates sufficient time dealation that we experience time not all at once. Sounds good for a sci fi explanation anyway. Physicists would probably laugh at the idea though. :P

[@Jenny_Digital]

Almost as soon as I started watching this, I knew where he worked. He’s clearly passionate about his work. Interestingly however, it would have been much better if he’d had his sources cited so that others could take a closer look at his work. Without further references, he’s just evangelising… and asking for another fat government grant. I do hope that particle physicists manage to discover something that doesn’t need another huge particle accelerator because it’s all getting quite expensive, and yes, I do still love science.

[@rgc121044]

Looking for an explanation of dark energy?, Look no more. There is a simple explanation. We are inside of a universe bubble (there are millions of them), and this bubble has a surface that is an EM wavefront. It is expanding at the speed of light (cannot go faster),,,, But because it is an EM wavefront, it carries ENERGY. Because energy is equivalent to mass, a gravitational field emanates from this wavefront toward the inside of the bubble. This gravitational field translates to an acceleration of the baryonic mass inside the bubble pointing towards its surface. But there is also a center of mass inside the bubble, which also emanates a gravitational field that opposes the one from the surface of the bubble. But some bodies will reach escape velocity. I don't know about Earth... you could study that.!!! Best regards

[@daveb8559]

TED talks… the open platfo…. Well, “open” is probably a little much. Let’s say restricted talks. Wait. That doesn’t sound right, either. How about a seriously censored platform that only keeps talks that keep the status quo. As long as you make your chat about mutually identified and agreed upon “main stream” information. Screw your platform.
