Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

How about some simple and absolute proof that my version of string theory concerning the underlying structure of the universe must be correct?

In my theory, there must be at least one dimension of space that we cannot access in addition to the three dimensions that we can. The other dimension is what we experience as time. Matter actually consists of very long strings of negligible diameter, but since we can only see in three of the four spatial dimensions, we perceive the strings as particles which appear to be in motion if the string is not in a straight line. The Big Bang is the tremendous explosion which threw the strings composing matter across space, thus beginning the universe as we know it.

Let's consider the radiation from the Big Bang. It is commonly known as Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation and if you want to know the details about it, you can review the article by that title on http://www.wikipedia.org/ . Sometimes, it is referred to simply as CMBR. We are bathed in this radiation which comes to us from all directions in space in roughly equal amounts.

Next, let's consider a stone thrown into a pond. A wavefront will progress outward from the point of impact on the surface of the water and it will be easy to determine the point of impact of the stone on the water simply by looking at the wave that it has produced.

So, here is the mystery. If the Big Bang is the explosion that began the universe as we know it, and the universe has been expanding outward from the Big Bang ever since, then why does the radiation from the Big Bang come to us equally from every direction, making it impossible for us to pinpoint the location of the Big Bang in space?

Has anyone besides me stopped to ponder how little sense this makes? The radiation should be by far the most intense along a line from us to the exact spot where the Big Bang took place. How can the radiation be coming to us equally from all directions if the explosion must have taken place at one specific point?

Now, let's consider the fourth dimension of space that must exist, according to my theory, the one that we experience as time. It is in the past direction of this unseen dimension that we know the Big Bang should be sited.

This explains why the radiation from the Big Bang bathes us roughly equally from our familiar three dimensions of space. The site of the Big Bang is actually sited in none of these directions, which is why we are unable to pinpoint it's location or direction from us. It must be located somewhere and it is in the past direction of the dimension that we perceive as time, as described in my theory.

Logically, we should be able to easily determine the location in space at which the Big Bang took place, or at least it's direction in the sky from us. Since we cannot, there must be another dimension of space that we cannot see into. And since the Big Bang is distant from us in both time and space, and since there is no other plausible explanation of what time is that I am aware of, we can conclude that time is actually a dimension of space that our consciousnesses are moving along at what we perceive as the speed of light, meaning that our bodies, and all matter, must actually consist of strings, just as I described in my theory.

Without this theory, we are left to explain why the Big Bang was the explosion from which everything in the universe hurtled outward, meaning that it must have taken place at a particular point in one particular direction from us in the sky, which we are unable to determine because the radiation from the Big Bang comes to us equally from all directions.

My theory provides a neat and simple solution to this conundrum.

Let's look at some more evidence of how the fact that we are bathed in the radiation from the Big Bang, which began the universe, from all directions in space proves that this model of the universe must be correct.

Since we perceive the Big Bang as the beginning of time, this can be explained very simply by my theory that we experience one spatial dimension as time because that is the dimension along which the bundles of strings, which we perceive as particles, are aligned.

The generally-accepted model of the Big Bang is similar in concept to the throwing of a stone into a pond, resulting in a wave that moves outward from the point of impact. Supposedly, both space and matter spread outward from the Big Bang, which began the universe as we know it.

My model of the Big Bang differs from this in that I believe space to have begun first, and matter to have followed later. As I described in the posting "The Beginning Of The Universe" on this blog, space consists of infinitesimal, alternating negative and positive electric charges.

This explains the nature of space as it seems to us. It started with one such charge, which induced an opposite charge next to it, and so on. Matter then originated with a two-dimensional block of space, which was not joined to the pre-existing space.

The question here is that if the conventional model of the Big Bang is correct, then why should the universe be filled with the cosmic microwave background radiation? If this model is correct, then space itself is the "radiation" from the Big Bang, which propagates outward from the point of origin. Why should there also be radiation on the original "radiation".

When a stone is thrown into a pond waves propagate outward, but there are not waves on the wave. There is only one set of waves. Likewise with a radio wave, or any other type of electromagnetic wave.

Put simply, if space is expanding outward from the Big Bang, how could it have also produced a universe full of electromagnetic radiation in that space?

Now, let's consider my model of the Big Bang and the beginning of the universe. Space came first by way of the endlessly alternating electric charges inducing an opposite charge next to it. These primordial charges did not fill space, they actually were space. This is why we perceive waves such as light and radio as electromagnetic, the wave is only exposing the underlying electromagnetism of space by disrupting the exactly even balance of the charges.

Matter began when an "orphan" two-dimensional sheet of space formed, which did not join the space that already existed as added dimensions. Charge migration took place in the two-dimensional space, making one side negatively-charged and the other positively-charged. Charge migration did not take place in the background space because there were too many dimensions. The sheet of two-dimensional space could not expand to more dimensions by charge induction because it was blocked from doing so by the space which already existed.

What we perceive as the Big Bang was a massive matter-antimatter mutual annihilation, as the sheet became bent and the two opposite sides attracted one another until they came into contact. The dimensional bonds of the sheet of space dissolved in one dimension, but not the other, throwing one-dimensional strings of matter out across the universe of space. This scattering happened because like-charged strings next to one another flew apart rapidly by mutual repulsion.

These strings are what we perceive as the fundamental particles of matter, since we experience one of the dimensions of space as time, as our consciousness moves along the bundle of strings comprising our bodies and brains at what we perceive as the speed of light. This is why the conventional model of the Big Bang has no physical explaination for either what time is, or why the speed of light is what it is.

Isn't it more logical to presume that the Big Bang filled space with radiation because the space was already there? In fact, this makes it seem that the whole conventional model of the Big Bang requires some serious revision.

If my model of the Big Bang and the universe was not correct, not only should we be able to locate the point in space where the Big Bang took place, we should not see radiation across space from the Big Bang, unless there were actually two parts to the Big Bang, one of space and one of matter. The radiation is in the space, but could only have begun with the explosion that originated matter.

Also, as I described in the theory, the Big Bang could not have taken place from one point. My model of matter originating with the "sheet" of space that I have described, explains how atoms came into being. One side of the disintegrating sheet was negatively-charged, and the other side positively-charged, with mixed charges in the middle. When it disintegrated in the Big Bang negative and positive strings were thrown across each other's paths, so that they paired up into atoms.

If these particles were thrown outward from a single point by the tremendous force of the Big Bang, how could they possibly have come back together to form atoms? Space would be forever expanding, and moving the particles ever-further apart.

There was some major scientific news this week, March 22, 2014,. We know that there is radiation left over from the Big Bang, and that it seems to come at us from all directions in space. It was announced that this radiation has been found to be polarized.

Light, or other electromagnetic radiation, can be rendered as a sine wave with peaks and troughs above and below the line of origin. This can be seen in water waves and is how a wave appears if displayed on an oscilloscope. But this illustration shows a vertically-aligned wave. Electromagnetic waves can be aligned at any angle, similar to the hands on a clock. If light, or other electromagnetic radiation, happens to be aligned in only one plane, it is referred to as polarized. Some sunglasses are actually polarizing filters which cut out all but one polarization of light, and this virtually eliminates glare.

The radiation from the Big Bang has been found to be polarized in more than one plane, but not to radiate anything like the light from the sun from which the electromagnetic waves are aligned in all planes.

Some scientists are considering this polarization as evidence of radiation being warped by the gravitational waves predicted by Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, and also of inflation since this is what could have caused such gravitational waves. My cosmological theory does not involve inflation, or the Higgs Boson. Inflation is the idea that, for a brief time after the Big Bang, the universe must have expanded faster than the speed of light to get the relative uniformity that it appears to have today.

In this theory, there is no real speed of light and the universe began with a single electric charge, whether negative or positive, which began a cycle of induction of an opposite charge next to it, which led to the multiple dimensions of space which we have today. I have never seen another plausible explanation of how the Big Bang occurred.

There was some type of distortion in this continuous induction of opposite charges to regain charge balance in the universe, and this caused a two-dimensional sheet of space to form within the background space of at least four dimensions,  but likely many more. Charge migration took place within this two-dimensional sheet of space because it achieved a lower energy state, which the universe always seeks although it is secondary in priority to achieving a balance of electric charges. Such charge migration does not take place in the multi-dimensional background space because there are simply too many dimensions to coordinate their charge migration together so that it is a lower energy state to just leave the alternating pattern of infinitesimal negative and positive charges that space is composed of today.

Evidence of charge migration in which positive and negative charges can "trade places" to achieve a lower energy state can be seen in the posting "Black Holes And Antimatter" on this blog. This can happen because such "trading places" does not upset the overall charge balance of positive and negative charges. In my theory, the reason that the universe is so uniform in the distribution of matter across space on a large scale is the lack of information in the Big Bang. As tremendous and powerful as the Big Bang was, it was also relatively simple. To have significant overall variations in the distribution of matter across space would require information which was not present in the Big Bang. I find this to make more sense then the Theory of Inflation, that the universe must have expanded faster than the speed of light, to explain the consistency across the universe.

The two-dimensional sheet of space which formed in the early universe folded under it's own gravity until one side came in contact with the other. Since one side was negatively-charged, and the other positive, this caused a massive matter-antimatter mutual annihilation and this is what the Big Bang was. But only one pair of opposite sides in the two-dimensional sheet of space had come into contact so it's two-dimensional bonds dissolved in only one dimension. This is why we have one-dimensional strings of matter strewn across space today. Of course, we perceive these strings as particles such as electrons because one of the four dimensions which the matter of our bodies occupies is what we perceive as time and so we can see in only three of the four dimensions. This also explains why we detect the radiation from the Big Bang, but we cannot pinpoint it's source, it seems to be coming at us equally from all directions in space.

I find that the quantity of matter in the universe, relative to the volume of the background space and considering that atoms are mostly empty space themselves, fits very well with what we would expect of a two-dimensional sheet of space within four dimensions of background space. The same can be said for the average temperature of the universe, which is only a few degrees above absolute zero. Temperature requires matter, there is no such thing as matter or temperature in completely empty space.

Imagine a two-dimensional sheet of space crumpling and then disintegrating and, in doing so, sending out waves of electromagnetic radiation into the background space. The waves will not be radiated equally in all directions, but will be polarized by the "folds" in the crumpling sheet. This explains the polarization along several planes that was discovered in the background radiation from the Big Bang.

The matter across the universe is actually not distributed evenly on a very large scale but does have lines of concentration alongside voids. Imagine crumpling a sheet of paper and then opening it back up. Now look at projected images of the large-scale structure of the universe on this web site: cosmicweb.uchicago.edu/filaments.html . The lines in the images, known as filaments, are concentrations of groups of galaxies and the empty space between them are areas with many fewer groups of galaxies.

Doesn't this look just like the lines and folds on a crumpled sheet of paper, if it is opened back up? There are more such images brought up by a search for "large-scale matter distribution in universe".

The speed of light, in my theory, is a reflection of our own complexity. Remember that the central doctrine of my cosmological theory is that we see the universe as we do not only because of what it is but also because of what we are. To encompass the complexity for one second of consciousness to the bundles of strings composing our bodies and brains requires 300 million meters (186,282 miles). This is why we perceive this as the speed of light and the maximum possible speed.
