Unexplained Gravitational Phenomena in a Donut-Shaped Universe

In summary, the conversation centered around a theory about the universe and its components, including gravity, expansion, relativistic travel, and time travel. The participants also discussed the possibility of an "infinite" universe and the need for mathematical explanations. The conversation concluded with a quote from a webpage discussing the effects of gravity on imaginary two-dimensional beings living among grains of sand. Some participants suggested that the quote could be interpreted as a reference to general relativity, while others believed it implied an unexplainable force.

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...

Have a look

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.
 

What is the General Model of the Universe?

The General Model of the Universe is a scientific theory that describes the structure and evolution of the universe. It is based on observations and mathematical models, and it is constantly being refined and updated as new evidence is discovered.

How does the General Model of the Universe explain the origin of the universe?

The General Model of the Universe proposes that the universe began with a Big Bang, a rapid expansion of incredibly hot and dense matter about 13.8 billion years ago. This event is supported by evidence such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and the observed expansion of the universe.

What is dark matter and how does it fit into the General Model of the Universe?

Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that does not interact with light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation, making it invisible to telescopes. The General Model of the Universe includes dark matter as a necessary component to explain the observed gravitational effects on galaxies and other large-scale structures in the universe.

How does the General Model of the Universe predict the fate of the universe?

Based on current observations and models, the General Model of the Universe predicts that the universe will continue to expand at an accelerating rate. This expansion will eventually lead to the "heat death" of the universe, where all matter and energy will be evenly distributed and there will be no more potential for any physical processes to occur.

What are the limitations of the General Model of the Universe?

While the General Model of the Universe has been successful in explaining a wide range of observations, it is not a complete or final theory. It does not currently account for phenomena such as dark energy, the accelerating expansion of the universe, or the nature of gravity at very small scales. Scientists continue to work on improving and refining the model to better understand the universe we live in.
