A digital Higgs universe and the flow of time
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, James F. Lynch · 2024
Theoretically considering velocities greater than c implies considering an observer’s past and extends the overall analysis into the complex plane. By using a series of rotations by i in the complex plane at the Planck scale, one can create a four-lobed structure of “instants of time,” which together with considering matter and antimatter in the lobes and the +/- sense of the rotation, leads to a Higgs field representation of spacetime. A metric is developed for this system as well as a generalized spacetime interval. It is shown that the Friedmann Equations are consistent with our “Higgs Cosmology” if generalized to a set of gravitationally coupled equations that connect the forward and backward going solutions. Simple solutions for the forward and backward going universes are presented and are shown to be consistent with the backward solution providing both inflation and a “cosmological constant” type of dark energy. Dark matter is discussed and is separately hypothesized to be due to the mass of the four “Higgs sectors” as seen by an observer in our universe. A digital, stroboscopic and holographic universe picture emerges which can also be viewed as a beginning theory of quantum gravity at the Planck scale.
