To Infinity and Beyond: Transcending our Limitations (cont.)
By Nassim Haramein
That is, there had to be evidence of this energy
between stars and galaxies as well. I had studied quite
a bit of cosmology by then, and at the time there was
zero evidence of this energy being present at the
cosmological level.
Nevertheless, I was in a highly creative mode,
elaborating on many of the foundations that eventually
brought me to form the various scientific papers I have
written.
From the sense I was getting from my studies of both
ancient civilisations and advanced physics, this vacuum
energy could not be completely random. It had to have
structure, some kind of geometry, and most likely it was
polarised—that is, spin was involved. And it was these
thoughts that eventually
brought me to add a
fundamental force to
Einstein's field equations
in order to show that
space-time, in addition to
curving
to
produce
gravitation, twisted as
well—like water going
down
the
drain—to
produce the spin of all
organised matter from
galaxies to stars and even
to subatomic particles.
That twisting of space
would imply that space
itself was imbued with
gyroscopic and Coriolis
effects that needed to be
included in Einstein's
geometrisation of space
and time. Yet if this torque
really was present, then we
should be able to detect it at the cosmological level.
I will always remember the day when this confirmation
fell into my lap. It must have been around the late
1990s, when I was in Joshua Tree National Park where I
liked to spend part of the winter climbing and studying.
Typically I would go in and stay for weeks at a time
before my supplies ran out and I would have to come
out again to get a little bit of shopping done. My
budgets were quite restricted (on average, $3,000 a
year), so I would buy a very minimal amount of food (I
mostly lived on prana—vacuum energy) but almost every
time I would buy popular science magazines to keep in
touch with the latest scientific discoveries.
So on a beautiful morning after one such expedition
the night before and then after my ritual climb, I sat on
the edge of the stairs of my van and opened what I recall
was an issue of Astronomy magazine. And there it was:
astronomers had found evidence that the Universe was
not only expanding, but was also accelerating as it did so.
This discovery produced a large amount of controversy
at the time, and most theorists agreed that the best
approach to deal with this anomaly was to reinstate a
constant that was first used by Einstein. He had added
this fudge factor, called the cosmological constant, in his
early mathematical expressions to make the Universe
static (which was believed to be the case at the time). It
was later removed when astronomer Edwin Hubble
discovered that the Universe was expanding, as
Einstein's equations would predict, without the fudge
factor. Now astronomers reinstated the cosmological
constant in such a way as to make the Universe
accelerate as it expanded. The fudge factor was back.
This eventually was dubbed "dark energy", and it wasn't
until very recently that it started to be associated with
the vacuum energy. For
me, however, that was an
easy and obvious leap, as I
had already expected that
the polarised Coriolis
dynamics of the vacuum
structure would produce
such an effect on the
universal expansion and
rotation.
So the vacuum energy
was there at all scales,
although
in
various
densities—a gradient in
the structure of space
itself. Was the vacuum
dividing
at
specific
densities from extremely
large to extremely small?
And if the vacuum energy
was essentially infinitely
dense, and all scales
contained vacuum—since
even the atom itself (as we saw earlier) contains a large
percentage of vacuum—then each of all the atoms
inevitably contained enough mass–energy to be
considered a black hole. The Universe had to be black
holes, from all the way up—the Universe that we're in,
for example—to all the way down. With this concept, I
eventually coined the term "black whole"
