A Whole Bunch of Guesses At:
The Formation of (Many) Irregular Galaxies
The Function of Black Holes
The Explanation of a Multi-Singularity Universe
"Irregular galaxies feature neither spiral nor elliptical morphology. They are often chaotic in appearance, with neither a nuclear bulge nor any trace of spiral arm structure. Collectively they are thought to make up about a quarter of all galaxies. Most irregular galaxies were once spiral or elliptical galaxies but were deformed by gravitational action. Irregular galaxies also contain abundant amounts of gas and dust."
For over ten years I have been puzzled by the explanation of our universe. We have this "Big Bang Theory" which states it all started with the ole singularity. I was only smart enough to come up with two questions regarding this:
1) Isn't a Black Hole also a singularity?
2) Where did all that energy and matter come from?
If a Black Hole is a singularity then wouldn't it blow up in our face into another universe? So I asked my scientific type friends and they had no answers. I sometimes read that it's "a different type of singularity". Huh? Doesn't that destroy the definition of singularity itself? The eight google ton gorilla in the universe always seemed to me to be, "What is the deal with all the singularities in our universe? What is the deal with black holes?"
It would seem that fractals explain a great deal about the structure of nature. Life and non-life. Nature is the universe. The universe is nature. Why then would it not explain the structure of the universe? What if one were to apply fractals to our universe? Then one would probably have to come up with at least one "point of self similarity". The reproduction, the branching, the duplication. If one would apply fractals to the structure of the entire universe it would have to be a point of self similarity on a grand scale. But what if we went to the biggest production we know, the Big Bang?
And that's where it seems to all come together for me. What if, just what if, singularities are the points of self similarity in our MULTIVERSE? What if the "trunk singularity" is what our conceptualized universe comes from? The "branch singularities" are the ones we see in back holes now. The black hole eventually creates a new universe and perhaps "disappears" in the process. Seem impossible? Allow me to quote again, "Most irregular galaxies were once spiral or elliptical galaxies but were deformed by gravitational action…..with neither a nuclear bulge nor any trace of spiral arm structure". A spiral galaxy is at the end of the guessed "galactic evolution". What happened to its nucleus? What happened to that black hole? Is there any evidence that a black hole has never gone away? What is the evidence of a disappearing black hole?
So if we were made from a big ole black hole that's where all the wonderful energy and matter came from. Maybe the singularities are very much alike and only differ in "scale". Like branches on a tree. The answer to "Why don't the singularities we see around us blow up into new universes themselves" can be answered by the simplest yet hardest to accept answer of, "well, they do". There was a 2009 article about a peculiar explosion some scientists studied for a bit, "Taking into account the huge distance from earth of the burst, scientists worked out that the blast was stronger than 9,000 supernovae -- powerful explosions that occur at the end of a star's lifetime -- and that the gas jets emitting the initial gamma rays moved at nearly the speed of light." Did nine thousand supernovae blow up at the same time in the same place? I don't think so.
Let us remember that when one looks at a fractal like:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mandel_zoom_00_mandelbrot_set.jpg
One sees that in this model the reproduction could sort of happen "outside of us". Singularities would represent the points creating the replications. Like the points where the bigger black circles are creating the smaller black circles shown in the image. There is a hypothesis out there basically stating it's like little expanding soap bubbles floating out of a large expanding soap bubble (as in "Chaos Theory").
Perhaps this can help with the concept of parallel universes. Can it help us understand the dark stuff?
If I were to tell you that a universe was created from a singularity then pointed to another singularity and asked you, "What do you think that singularity is going to do?", what is your natural response? What is your inclination? How about the only thing we know for sure...that there would seem to be the distinct possibility that it creates another universe! If I told you "x made y, and there's another x". What do you think is going to happen?
Universe makes Stars
Stars make Galaxy/Black Hole
Black Hole makes Universe
(REPEAT)
Universe makes Stars
Stars make Galaxy/Black Hole
Black Hole makes Universe
(REPEAT)
Universe makes Stars
Stars make Galaxy/Black Hole
Black Hole makes Universe
(REPEAT)
The thing that scares me about this argument is it is so incredibly simple but tackles a great deal. Things like:
Why is our universe a multi-singularity universe? (Instead of just a one singularity universe - the singularity our universe itself was made from).
What is the function of black holes? Why do they exist? Why are they doing what they are doing?
Why do we see galaxies that have appeared to have lost their nucleus? (Is there something else going on other than galaxies smashing into each other?) Why does it seem like the galactic evolutionary chart is missing a huge step?
Is everything cyclical? People make people. Branches make branches. Clouds make clouds. Stars make stars. Universes make universes. No matter where you are everything goes to the virtually infinitely small and to the virtually infinitely large. The answer to the universe is the same as the answer for us. To exist and reproduce. I'm not humanizing the universe, I'm universalizing humans.
What we must remember is the evidence of the multiverse being a fractal (or fractals) is that the evidence doesn't necessarily have to appear a million light years away inside a black hole but instead all around us. The reflections we see in all things make it extremely hard to toss this argument out the window. These reflections are the agents of self similarity. The way a spiral galaxy looks like a hurricane that looks like sudsy water circling a drain. The way the outline of a blood vessel looks like the outline of a tree which looks like the outline of a river. The way the corona of a star looks like iris of your eye. The circular shapes that dominate our existence. How about waves? We see waves in gravity, space, air, water, the electromagnetic, photons and many other places. All these waves at different scales. The mark of the fractal.
Scientists will gnash their teeth when they find out the stuff that makes particles is made from other stuff that is made from other stuff that is made from other stuff and so on and worse yet going both ways. What's that? The Elementary Particles are not the smallest things? Now you're talking about strings and other stuff?
It seems that it is the singularity that brought about my questions and then itself provided my answers. One thing I assert is "things go to the virtually infinitely small". Part of the definition of a singularity is "infinitely small". There's your virtually infinitely small for you! I believe in virtual infinity, not true infinity. This is because of my belief in cycles running the entire multiverse. Eventually there is a restart. Things get to the virtually infinite and then the cycle begins anew. That innocent looking sentence could be the very definition of a singularity. This is what my argument is stating. Another scary thing about this argument is it puts function to the universe. To stars and galaxies. To everything.
So much of my argument hangs on one key thought. That most things are cyclical. I really don't see this as a big jump of faith. Just like I don't think it's a big jump of faith to see that things go from the virtually infinitely small to the virtually infinitely large. We already have the virtually infinitely small (size) and large (density), the singularity. Life is cyclical. Orbits are cyclical. Stars are cyclical. Galaxies are cyclical. Fractals are cyclical. Waves are cyclical. Spin is cyclical. Natural events like geysers, weather systems, ocean currents, and plate tectonics are all cyclical. Matter-to-energy-energy-to-matter is cyclical. How much of a jump is it to state that most of the functions of the multiverse are cyclical?
But it is the infinities that are the most unbelievable. My "virtual infinities". They seem to go every which way. Take a look at our universe. Thirteen billion light years and expanding. But the interesting virtual infinities are the layers themselves. The layers of construction. You have our cozy layer of Einstein's Relativity, with galaxies and stars and orbits. Then you have the layer underneath, quantum mechanics. Now you have another theory of even another layer beneath that, String Theory. You have many physicist that don't believe in String still thinking there's another layer. So now you have three layers? No four! Wait, no, five! My theory is simple. It just keeps going. For a virtual infinity. Einstein's Relativity is greatly expanded. It does not matter whether you shrink to the size of an atom or grow as big as a galaxy, things still go from the infinitely small to the infinitely large from where you're standing. Just like the fractal in the picture above. This is already hard for me to accept. Then I hear that Relativity does not work on the "really big" stuff. Oh crap, there's the next layer above us. Layers above and layers below, with no end in sight. I used to believe strongly in very little infinity, if at all. Now I believe it's virtually all over the place.
This is not the universe I had hoped for. This is not the universe I expected. This is just the multiverse.
Any thoughts?
