Is Everything in the Universe Made of Wavelengths?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the nature of the universe, specifically the idea that everything may be composed of wavelengths. Participants explore concepts related to the big bang theory, the composition of mass, and the properties of waves, while also addressing the challenges of understanding these ideas without a scientific background.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant proposes that everything in the universe is a form of wavelength and that all particles are made from wavelengths.
  • The same participant suggests that mass is not a solid state but rather a variation of wavelengths and that mass can be created.
  • Another participant challenges the notion that sound waves can travel through space, stating that sound requires a medium and cannot propagate in a vacuum.
  • There is a mention that the most common element in the universe, hydrogen, has the simplest atomic structure, which is acknowledged by some participants.
  • A suggestion is made to refer to Ned Wright's tutorial as a resource for understanding cosmology.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express disagreement regarding the validity of the initial claims about wavelengths and sound waves. Some participants emphasize the need for a foundational understanding of physics before engaging in theoretical discussions, while others provide resources for further learning.

Contextual Notes

Some claims made by participants are based on misunderstandings of basic physics concepts, and there is a lack of clarity regarding the definitions and assumptions underlying the initial ideas presented.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be of interest to individuals curious about the fundamental nature of the universe, those exploring theoretical physics, or anyone seeking to understand the basic principles of waves and mass in a cosmological context.

Hi guys, just a quick post about the big bang theory and other possible theories. I am by far no scientist, nor do I work in a scientific environment. I am simply amazed by the creation of the universe and sadly think about it on a regular basis. One thing I could not understand was how all the mass in the universe had always existed and it was this lack of understanding that made my mind work overtime and think of my own possible theory. I am now at a point in my life where I would like to start reasearching and attempting to understand it. I am only 29 and hope this idea will give me something to do when i retire.

I have a few ideas of my own and would not know where to start looking for evidence to support or disprove my ideas. The main problem with my ideas is that i don't understand them I will also find it difficult trying to explain it. Basic thought towards the theory are as follows:

Everything that exists is a form of wavelength
All particles are made from wavelengths
Mass is not a solid state but a variation of one wavelength to another
"Mass" can be created
A wave length can travel at the speed of light through space
A sound wave can travel through space and it would be at the speed of light
The most common element found in the universe might have the lowest atomic structure
Everything started from one basic form of wavelength at a central point of the universe

If anyone could inform me of research that might have been done and where to find that information or give me there opinion on this or there ideas.

Many Thanks

An intro-level physics text would correct many of your errant notions. You don't even need any recent research.
 
Start from the basics and go out and actually learn physics before you start theorizing. And that is not meant to be an insult, it's what you actually need to do. You're throwing out vague statements using words that don't have any business being put in the same sentence. Saying the "wave length can travel" doesn't make sense. It's like looking at a hot cup of water and saying that the temperature travels. The temperature is a quantity that describes the water. The water itself is the only thing that can actually travel.

Also, sound waves do not travel through space. Sound is simply variations in air pressure traveling as a wave. It requires a medium. Space basically is empty, sound can't travel through it.Though you are correct that the most common element (Hydrogen) has the simplest atomic structure. The rest is just... words thrown together.
 
Those were excellent suggestions for getting started, and probably all that needs to be said. I think this is a good place to stop.
