Understanding Spacetime and Gravity
At its core, spacetime represents the distance that exists between entities, serving as the “void” that separates and connects them. Being non-physical, spacetime is characterized by its infinite divisibility, which in turn gives rise to gravity and the concept of time.
Although we often describe spacetime as a “fabric” that curves due to mass, this is more of a conceptual metaphor than a literal truth. For instance, when an apple falls toward the Earth, it doesn't truly “fall” in a conventional sense. Instead, the spacetime separating the apple from the Earth is finite, whereas the distance between the apple and the vastness of outer space is even more extensive. This disparity in dimensions helps us understand the so-called “curvature” of gravity, which causes mass to attract other mass, as outlined in General Relativity.
It's important to note that some infinities are indeed “more infinite” than others. For example, a mile can be infinitely divided into smaller units like inches, which illustrates the complex nature of distance. Grasping the infinite nature of spacetime can be challenging, but it is essential for understanding gravity. The apple, in its journey toward Earth, navigates through the finite spacetime that exists between itself and the Earth rather than drifting off into outer space. As it moves, it occupies the closest spatial location to where it was moments ago, which is crucial to understanding gravity's mechanism.
In simpler terms, an apple experiences less spacetime between itself and the Earth compared to the spacetime between itself and the cosmos. Consequently, it finds itself in a spatial relationship that is more immediate, allowing it to move through the lesser infinite spacetime between it and the Earth. This phenomenon occurs because nothing can remain static in time or space; thus, objects naturally gravitate toward the nearest point in spacetime.
The Concept of Gravitational Locationality
Let us refer to this theory as “Gravitational Locationality.” This notion posits that spacetime itself may possess some intrinsic gravity or curvature independent of mass.
If we assume that infinity is not uniform, it leads us to the idea that spacetime could resemble a “Wrinkled and Dented Fabric.” Such inconsistencies in the fabric of spacetime may account for the “dark gravity” we observe in various cosmic structures. Our everyday experiences with finite objects may cloud our understanding of the infinite, leading to misconceptions about the nature of spacetime.
Consequently, we might mistakenly assume that spacetime is uniformly distributed when it may actually exhibit variations in its effective shape. This brings us to the possibility that spacetime may indeed have a unique form of “gravity” arising from its own properties. The image of spacetime as a fabric with wrinkles could help us visualize the effective curvature we perceive in certain areas of the universe, like the cosmic web where galaxies are located.
The Nature of Dark Gravity
Dark gravity might stem from these “mathematical wrinkles” rather than from mysterious forces or substances like dark matter. When we examine the temporal aspect of spacetime, we see that objects navigate through space similarly to how they traverse time, as a result of the infinite divisibility inherent in non-physical distances.
Given that we cannot represent infinity with conventional numbers, I propose a new method of mapping gravity through a three-dimensional matrix of zeros. This matrix would allow us to represent regions of spacetime without gravitational curvature with single zeros, while regions exhibiting degrees of curvature would be represented by larger sets of zeros. Through this approach, we could begin to visualize spacetime’s curvature as composed of non-equal infinities, offering a fresh perspective on gravitational dynamics.
In essence, by assuming that spacetime is “wrinkled,” we can overlay the observable shapes of these wrinkles, known as the “cosmic web,” onto our Zero Matrix. This might illuminate the question of why spacetime in certain regions takes on its specific shape.
I hypothesize that “dark gravity” may not be a byproduct of mass, but rather an outcome of “infant spacetime” emerging from the “fabric” of “parent spacetime.” If this holds true, the morphology of these “infant” spacetimes could influence the characteristics of dark gravity.
