“On the other hand, when we try deliberately to use the criterion of mathematical beauty in formulating our theories, we are easily led astray. General relativity is certainly a very beautiful theory, but how does one judge the elegance of physical theories generally? Different people have very different aesthetic judgments. [...] Moreover, the inherent beauty in a theory is often not obvious at first, and me revealed only later when the depths of its mathematical structure become apparent through later technical developments.”
In “Fashion, Faith, and Fantasy in the New Physics of the Universe” by Roger Penrose
Would it be logical if positive and negative charge represent two extra dynamic dimensions within our three dimensional Universe of continuous energy exchange? This is an invitation to see an interpretation of the mathematics of Quantum Mechanics as a geometrical of energy exchanges that forms what we see and feel as the passage of time! In such a theory the Planck's constant ħ= h/2π is a constant of action in the process that forms the continuum of time. Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆p×≥h/4π represents the same uncertainty we have with any future event with the future unfolding photon by photon with each new photon electron coupling or dipole moment! With classical physics representing processes over a period of time as in Newton’s differential equations.
"Big Bang" expansion: Keep in mind, if the rapid expansion of the singularity is really true (and I am not saying it's not), then it would have most likely expanded in basically a 360 degree spherical shape. Assuming for the moment modern science is correct concerning how the forces of nature came about, (of which I believe them to be wrong, but that is a different discussion), then the forces of nature would have come about when the expansion reached a certain spherical dimension. Even "if" true that the universe is continually expanding and would most likely then end in a "big freeze" as the energy in this universe ceases to flow one day, I believe it might be possible that a "Goldilocks zone" of continually active forces of nature might remain eternally active along the "surface area" of where the forces of nature came into existence based upon the spherical energy "surface" tension of that zone of force of nature initiation along the dimensional interface, (different dimensions being defined as having different forces of nature that they function by). Any entity that makes it to this zone, and doesn't kill themselves off by some means, could in theory remain eternally consciously existent throughout all of future eternity, even though the rest of the universe would most probably end in a big freeze. Eternal life here I come. You snooze, you lose.
Now just to build my FTLRT (Faster Than Light Relative Travel) vehicle that generates a dimension within this dimension that we are in. If you see a spherical ball of light zoom off of this Earth, going up to a relative speed of faster than light from your perspective, don't worry, it just might be me leaving all your future frozen asses behind. Of course, if you see multiple balls of light, it's all those I am taking with me. (See also some of my pedant musings on this blog as to how artificial gravity, necessary shield protections, and FLTRT might even all be possible). And note, the universe might not end in a big freeze if my latest TOE is basically correct. The gravitational force of the photon would interlock with the electrical component of the photon at 90 degrees to each other, with the magnetic field of the photon split both inside of and outside of this shell keeping it intact. Hence also why the galactic backdrop is perceived as being black. No light photons get absorbed by or reflected from this universal shell. The remaining photons remain eternally active inside of this shell. The whole universe would be my "Goldilocks zone".
If theoretical physicists can come up with crazy ideas, so can I.
Bottom-line: It is difficult to criticise a book by such a distinguished (and charming) theoretical physicist as Roger Penrose because I have no doubt that I am reading a book by one of the greatest living scientific minds. As a physicist myself back in the day I am familiar with the difficulties faced in explaining advanced topics to a predominantly lay audience but I think he probably lost many with such a muddled and ill prepared book. Not as good as "The Emperor's New Mind."
