I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about gravitation and ended up scribbling notes into my notes app on my phone. I later had to do my best to export it to a format I could post here:
Gravity: What happens when to hyper spheres intersect?
Its really hard to imagine.
If two high dimensional spheres expand and contract into each other or two bodies are vibrating the spacetime around them, how do we imagine this interaction and why does it cause gravity.
It is to high dimensionals space as it would be like twisting two funnels into each other. Or picture it like a screw threading into its sheath. Only its not a funnel, it is high dimensional.
Okay lets start by imagining sound waves.
We often represent these as a 2d sine graph.
But that travelling sound isnt 2 dimensional. Its 3dimensional
They are expanding and contracting waves of air. The sir is expanding and contracting into higher and lower densities of air compression.
And while this is easy to imagine as a 2d plane it is really difficult to visually represent in actual 3dimensional space.
That is a representation of an ultrasound.
Now that is a beam of sound which in actuality is vibrating molecules of air.
Light is different, its not expanding and contracting the mass sitting in space, it is frequencies of energy waves radiating and is waves of variang intencities are banding through each other in patterns.
Once again this si super difficult to visualize in 3dimensional space.
In 2d it looks just like a sound wave but they are very different.
But we often draw the way it radiates out from above instead of from the side to illustrate how it interacts.
But gravity is different.
Its not energy radiating out like light or kinetic energy vibrating molecules of mass (be it air or water or metal).
We know that atoms are clusters of energy that we visualize as orbiting spheres.
But we know that atoms arent made of really tiny orbiting spheres. We try to represent them as wave functions of probable particle position
And we do this because we describe their motion in quantum mathematical terms which is really hard to understand but in simple terms we cant predict its position and we represent it probabilistically and it can also exist in multiple places at once simultaneously.
But string theory and high dimensional math suggests that its not necessarily a particle in two places it is actually a wave bent in high dimensional space.
So when we talk about subatomic particles we arent talking about tiny spheres we are talking about tiny contained units of energy that vibrate as waves that arent radiating out but self contained
I like to think of them as a modulus hypersphere perpetual motion machine sitting on gods desk.
Here are some ways that we try to visualize a hypersphere:
We have a really difficult time representing them even when they arent movig and they are just spheres. Now try imagining them as fluctuating balls of energy the way our sound wave and our light wave were. But instead its just and onjulating ball.
These diagrams could be like one wave crest or peak
Because its folded in on itself so many times. But all we see in 3d space is the presence or not presence of energy.
But i think every single atom or unit of matter is disturbing spacetime.
These disturbances accumulate.
So two hyrdogen vibrating or expanding and contracting spacetime cause greater disturbances cummulatively.
But because these disturbances are expanding and contracting the concentration of spacetime, it doesnt matter if we are talking about two hydrogen atoms or two planets, an expansion of spacetime in high dimensional space by two bodies both contributes to their mutual disturbance but also forces them to overlap and fold into eachother, and as that contaction of spacetime occurs they are sliding along eachothers wave fronts.
In 3d space we see them as beig attracted to eachother.
this is how we represent a planet influencing space time.
When in 3d its probably more like this.
Whats important is trying to imagine how gravity waves interact
I havent been able to find any diagrams or animations that represent what i visualize in my mind, but i can attempt to describe it as the collision and interaction of high dimemensional spacetime wave fronts that fold and wrap themselves into eachother churning and sliding into their folds like a high dimensional screw made of propogating waves of energy sliding into its sheath only both the screw and the sheath are screw and sheath to each other at the same time.
This is why all objects of mass in a micro gravity vaccuum would slide towards each other. Because gravity is a constant onjulating disturbance of soace time that constantly wraps them into each other.
It would be like taking two napkins or blankets and wrapping them into eachother. Only those napkins are wave disturbances in spacetime.
This is why greater gravity slows time relatively. The more gravity the more folds and higher dimensionality of the wave front disturbances and the longer it takes for us to observe change.
If im right then there should be a way for us to predict the dimensionalty of space by viewing both molecules and celestial bodies as disturbing spacetime like two kids in a pool disturbing the water.
If one kid is treading water at a constant rate and we duplicate that kid, do the wave crests in the pool get larger?
If we put another kid with duplicates (not another duplicate) in the pool with a different bodily mass, doing a different type of stroke to tread water, could we accurately predict the amount that the water would be disturbed if we knew how many of kid A and how many of kid B we had? Also if these kids were on the same side of the pool, could we predict the rate that a beachball would float along their wave disturbances away from them?
Now how is this different in a high dimensional space percieved in 3dimesnions where the waves the kids make dont dissipate and subtract kinetic energy from eachother when they overlap because they are merely pushing each other into higher dimensional distortions?
My theory is that if these kids were high dimensional objects treading water so to speak in spacetime, the more they disturb spacetime the faster they would be pulled towards each other.
I know my explanation kinda fell apart and I'll try to find better ways to articulate at a later time.
