Is the Universe an Expanding Wavefront?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept that fundamental particles possess their own universe-sized 3-D wavefronts, analogous to the 2-D wavefronts of photons. As these wavefronts expand at the speed of light, they create the observable expanding universe, with the radius representing the fourth dimension, time. The conversation also touches on the challenges of integrating concepts like Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) and cosmic acceleration into this framework. Participants express skepticism regarding the scientific validity of these ideas, labeling them as "fiction-science."

We all know that photons are the particle representation of an EM 2-D wavefront and as the front expands the space between photons increases. We also know that particles of matter can exhibit wave properties. So in an analogous fashion to light, I'm thinking that each of the fundamental particles has its own, universe sized, 3-D wavefront that represents all particles of its type. The fronts overlap and yield the observed particle interactions. The wavefronts are expanding at the speed of light and create the expanding universe of space that we see. The radius is the 4th dimension and is what we call time. I'm not sure how to incorporate CMBR and cosmic acceleration. Maybe we can figure this out together.
