Gravity and Quantum mechanics

[TCS]

I've been trying to think about how gravity works in quantum theory. The following model provides me with an intuitive feel, although I don't know if I could use it to find converging solution to the Schrödinger equation that meet the axioms of relativity.


1. Particles are waves in a four dimensional space, where a particle's position and probability of interacting are determined by the distribution of its energy density.

2. The Universe has three spatial dimensions forming a sphere like pseudo-manifold in four space (it has a thickness in the fourth dimension and so isn't a real manifold).

3. Every point in the pseudo-manifold has an energy density.

4. The universe has an outward pressure (possibly caused by a spin)

5. The elasticity and the thickness of the universe is determined by its energy density at that point in three space.

6. the rate of time is determined by an elasticity constant based on the thickness in the r dimension and the inherent elasticity of energy (I've also thought that maybe energy is spiraling through the entire r dimension so that what we think of as a slower oscillation is just a longer spiral).


Such a universe would have a structure of a balloon where the rubber is thicker in some parts of the balloon than it is in other parts. The parts with thicker rubber (higher energy density) would also have shrunken space dimensions that cause the balloon to have a dimpled texture (a smaller radius in the r dimension).


The thicker part of the universe would have a slower rate of time that causes aslower rate of energy transfer through the thicker dimpled portions of the universe. When the waves associated with a particle passes through thicker/slower space, their energy collects in the thickened (high energy) are of space and makes it even thicker. Accordingly, a particles probability of interacting is going to shift towards the the thicker area of space even though it is not interacting with any other waveforms. It's almnost like a trafic jam.


Anyway, I'm wonering what problems people see with thise picture of the Universe.

I appreciate your effort to understand and explain the concept of gravity in quantum theory. However, there are a few issues with this model that I would like to address.

Firstly, the idea of particles being waves in a four-dimensional space is not entirely accurate. In quantum theory, particles are described as both waves and particles, but this does not mean they exist in a four-dimensional space. The Schrödinger equation, which governs the behavior of quantum particles, is a mathematical equation that operates in a three-dimensional space.

Secondly, the concept of a pseudo-manifold is not supported by current scientific understanding. A manifold is a mathematical concept that describes a space that is locally flat, meaning it can be represented by a Euclidean space. A pseudo-manifold, on the other hand, is a space that is not locally flat and cannot be represented by a Euclidean space. This concept is not widely accepted in physics and has not been shown to accurately describe the universe.

Moreover, the idea of an outward pressure causing the universe to have a thickness in the fourth dimension is not supported by any scientific evidence. The expansion of the universe is currently attributed to dark energy, not pressure.

Additionally, the concept of time being determined by an elasticity constant based on the thickness in the fourth dimension is not consistent with the current understanding of time in physics. Time is a fundamental quantity that is not dependent on any other physical properties.

Lastly, the analogy of a balloon with thicker rubber representing areas of higher energy density is not accurate. In reality, the energy density of the universe is not distributed evenly, and it is not possible to represent it using a simple analogy.

Overall, while your model may provide an intuitive feel for gravity in quantum theory, it does not accurately reflect the current scientific understanding of the universe. It is important to continue exploring and questioning theories, but it is also essential to base them on scientific evidence and principles.
