Parallel Spacetimes: Matter & Antimatter Separated?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion explores the concept of parallel spacetimes, specifically the idea of one being composed of matter and the other of antimatter, separated by a neutral void. The scope includes theoretical considerations and speculative reasoning about the nature of spacetime and its relationship to matter and antimatter.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant proposes the existence of two parallel spacetimes, one for matter and one for antimatter, separated by a void, likening it to magnets with a piece of paper in between.
  • Another participant argues against this idea, stating that mainstream theories do not support the notion of parallel spacetimes, emphasizing that spacetime is a curved 4-dimensional manifold that cannot exist in a void or be parallel to anything.
  • A later reply suggests an alternative visualization where the spacetimes curve around the void, comparing it to two-ply toilet paper, and posits that each spacetime could contain its own matter and antimatter.
  • Another participant questions the coherence of the initial proposal, suggesting that it appears to be a collection of disjointed ideas rather than a well-formed concept.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express disagreement, with some supporting the idea of parallel spacetimes and others firmly rejecting it based on established theories. The discussion remains unresolved with multiple competing views present.

Contextual Notes

Participants reference mainstream scientific theories and concepts of spacetime, but there are no consensus definitions or clarifications provided regarding the proposed models of parallel spacetimes.

Is it possible for two plains of parallel spacetime to exist separated by some sort of void? One being antimatter and one being matter with the void bringing neutral territory. Like a piece of paper between two big magnets.

No, not in any mainstream theories that are used by professional scientists. Spacetime is a 4-dimensional manifold that doesn't exist inside of anything else, so it can't be parallel to anything (nor is it inside a 'void'). Not only that, but spacetime is not flat, it is curved, so I don't think it could be parallel anyways. It's also not made up of matter or antimatter. Both of these exist 'on top of' or 'inside' of spacetime. I put them in quotes because neither word really describes the situation accurately, but it's the best I could come up with.

what if it wasn't in the void but around it. Like two ply toilet paper ( sorry for the lame example). It can curve and bend in parallel to the other. Each spacetime would have it's own presumed "antimatter and matter" but really it all falls under one or the other. A perfect opposite to the opposing plain of space. A perfect positive, a perfect neutral, and a perfect negative.

where are you getting this stuff ? or are you just making it up as you go ?
You seem to be just throwing a bunch of thoughts/ideas together and hoping they make sense

you should know that in the real world ... NOTHING is perfect

just read the post from Drakkith again
