Unexplained Gravitational Phenomena in a Donut-Shaped Universe

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a theoretical model of the universe shaped like a donut, exploring concepts such as gravitation, infinite universe, expansion, and relativistic travel. The model suggests that gravitational effects can be likened to interactions between two-dimensional entities and grains of sand, where these effects are always attractive and do not consume energy. The conversation highlights the challenges in explaining the origin of gravitational forces, drawing parallels to general relativity and the limitations of our understanding in three dimensions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of general relativity principles
  • Familiarity with theoretical physics concepts
  • Basic knowledge of dimensionality in physics
  • Mathematical skills for modeling physical phenomena
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of a toroidal universe model
  • Explore advanced concepts in general relativity
  • Study the mathematics of gravitational effects in multi-dimensional spaces
  • Investigate theories on the nature of gravitational forces
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for theoretical physicists, cosmologists, and anyone interested in advanced concepts of gravitation and the structure of the universe.

I set up an theory about a Model of the universe, and tried to draft some basic ideas of how to explain Gravitation, "Infinite" Universe, Expansion, relativistic travel, time travel etc. Anyone is welcome for discussion...

interesting. You might need some math to explain some effects, but otherwise, not bad for a quick read.
 
This quote from your page:

"Imaginary two dimensional people living between the grains of sands would now encounter some unexplainable affection of those sand quantities to them or other grains of sand. Those phenomena would be always affecting and never repelling, don’t consume any energy out of themselves and the sand people may call this effect gravity."

Sounds like it could just be talking in the lagauge of general relativity, almost.
Or, it sound more as if there is always an imaginary, unexplainable force. We in three dimensions can't explain why the grains of sand are moving into the troughs, so certainly the 2D people can't explain it. At least we can't explain the origin of the force responsible for the phenomenon.
