Exploring Time and Gravity: Reflections After 20 Years of Research

[colin lowing]

Summary:: 20 years on...

Hi Folks, I've not been on the forum for many years, i had to re register today. I've spent 20 years thinking about time and gravity and I'm actually starting to write everything down from volumes of notes to attempt to produce a "paper".. it's been frustrating and it's well outside the standard model but having said that, it does fit seamlessly with inflation, general relativity etc. Glad to be back, hope my constant questions won't annoy you all ;)

Welcome back, Colin.

Keep in mind that we can't discuss unpublished papers or personal speculation, but we are happy to answer questions. Whenever starting a new thread with a question, it's best to post links to the reading you've been doing so far. That helps us to understand your level of understanding in the problem, and provide better answers for you.

Also, you can click on the Insights Blog link at the top of the page to find some helpful articles about publishing peer-reviewed papers.

Thanks for the guidance, recently, I've noticed a few papers doing the news rounds, that seem to dovetail with what I've been scribbling, the WiggleZ paper on the fractal universe hypothesis and the recent Farnes 2012 paper that's resurfaced regarding the fluid anti gravity idea to explain dark matter, I recently wrote to Luciano Pietronero, regarding the Wiggle Z findings but so far no reply.

The Farnes paper was very interesting in particular, as the paper I'm attempting to put together actually offers a similar explanation but with a simpler cause, I also have some predictions that may be possible to test, all exciting :)

As long as the papers you want to discuss are in mainstream peer-reviewed journals, you are good to go. Just double-check the PF rules link (under INFO at the top of the page) to be sure.

Enjoy the PF!

I do have a question, fairly simple one at that, has gravity in the observable universe been measured by experiment, I'm trying to find any data regarding gravity decreasing or increasing (by a very small amount) over time, any ideas ?

That's a good and fair question, but not appropriate for the New Member Introductions forum.

By "gravity", I'd guess that you mean the value of G. Please do some research on your question, and then start a new thread in the Classical Physics technical forum and post links to the reading you have been doing about G. You will get very good responses there. Please be sure to mark your thread title with the "B" prefix for Basic level discussion. Thanks.
