ok, here it goes:
this afternoon, wandering on wikipedia I stumbled across a 3D projection of a rotating tesseract
I spent some time looking at it, then i started thinking about the universe.
a bit of context: I've always been passionate for astronomy. I like to read about other planets and stars, and I find amusing to know facts about extraterrestrial worlds.
I don't really have a working knowledge of physics. I'm a biotechnologist and even though I spent two years studying engineering (well, studying...) I know little about the law of physics. So forgive me if what I'm going to say is either totally insane, common knowledge that any physycist already takes for granted, or not expressed in fluent English, which is not my first language...
there are 3 things I don't "like" about what our universe.
- the fact it's expanding (especially I don't like that it seems to be destined to expand indefinitely...mh...)
- time as we intend it (i.e. non a touchable dimension)
- the fact planets, stars, galaxies and everything out there revolve. why is everything moving in circle?
now, I know time is considered as a 4th dimensions. it bends, it crunches, it dilates, and I even read somewhere it actually IS a proper dimension, only that we perceive it as time (in this context proper dimension stands for dimension of space)
that's why I was fascinated by the rotating tesseract.
because it looks like how I would like our universe to be!
a rotating 4D tesseract.
looking better at the 3D projection I thought that if this was true, for 3D observers as we are a 4D rotating tesseract would appear to be expanding on one side an cruncing on the other (or better...it would appear to expand on half of its sideS and cruch on the other half).
also, any circular motion in our apparent 3D universe would be the "translation" of a straight motion in the "proper" 4D universe.
what I'm trying to say is that I could envision a universe, shaped a bit like a 3D thorus with a ridiculosly small center (the Big Bang) from which the whole univere texture spun out and to which it also crunch in. everything in a straight motion "upon itself" with the time playing the role of a dimension, which starts and finishes at the center of the universe.
in this model (let's call it circuiting universe ) the Big Bang is a continuous event which takes place in that region of the universe where all the matter, after one complete circle, fell down again, crunching in infinitesimally small proportion before being ejected from the other side, ready for another circle, which leght is what we would call "age".
ok, this is by far the biggest amount of nonsens I ever said while sober, but I hope you could enlighten me on the flaws of this idea.
again. no, or very little, scientfic knowledge stands behind this topic so forgive me if this doens't comply with the forum's policy.
cheers :)
