Bands. Musical in that their vibrations can be counted by their number of twists in spacetime. For instance, an untwisted band has "vibration" energy zero Planck units. A typical one-twist Moebius band has "vibration" energy one Planck unit. Two twists yields "vibration" energy two Planck units, etc. A string does not differentiate between number of twists outside of a Planck time, and therefore represents a special case of bands.

The width of the band is dualistic to its number of twists, as winding numbers are to vibration numbers in string theory. Zero Planck length width, characteristic of strings and classically forbidden due to its divergent energy, yields its virtual self for less than a Planck time. A one Planck length width sustains a "winding" number of energy one Planck unit. A two Planck length width sustains a "winding" number of energy one-half Planck unit, etc

Has this approach been successfully used before, and if so, how does it compare to conventional M-theory?

The concept of exploring vibrational energy in band theory is a unique approach that has not been widely used before in the context of M-theory. However, it does have some similarities to certain aspects of M-theory, particularly in the idea of counting vibrations by their number of twists in spacetime. This is similar to the concept of winding numbers in string theory, which measures the number of times a string winds around a compactified dimension. In this way, the comparison to M-theory is interesting and could potentially provide new insights into the nature of vibrational energy in both theories.

One key difference between this approach and conventional M-theory is the use of bands instead of strings. While strings are one-dimensional objects, bands are two-dimensional objects that can have varying numbers of twists. This adds an additional dimension to the analysis and could potentially provide a more comprehensive understanding of vibrational energy. Additionally, the idea that the width of the band is dualistic to its number of twists is a novel concept that has not been explored in M-theory before.

Overall, while this approach has not been extensively used before, it offers a unique perspective on vibrational energy and its relationship to M-theory. Further research and comparison to conventional M-theory could potentially yield new insights and advancements in our understanding of the fundamental nature of the universe.
 
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.09804 From the abstract: ... Our derivation uses both EE and the Newtonian approximation of EE in Part I, to describe semi-classically in Part II the advection of DM, created at the level of the universe, into galaxies and clusters thereof. This advection happens proportional with their own classically generated gravitational field g, due to self-interaction of the gravitational field. It is based on the universal formula ρD =λgg′2 for the densityρ D of DM...
Thread 'LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena'
A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was: One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named. I will be reviewing the...
Many of us have heard of "twistors", arguably Roger Penrose's biggest contribution to theoretical physics. Twistor space is a space which maps nonlocally onto physical space-time; in particular, lightlike structures in space-time, like null lines and light cones, become much more "local" in twistor space. For various reasons, Penrose thought that twistor space was possibly a more fundamental arena for theoretical physics than space-time, and for many years he and a hardy band of mostly...
