Introduction

When a storm cloud expands too much, its vapor changes form, cell by cell, to a more stable state—a liquid. All energy converts to matter at the same time. That is, all vapor within the cloud transforms into millions of raindrops in the same instant. This process emulates the procedure that brings forth space and matter: Water vapor simulates composite energy where each rain drop mimics each piece of matter. While rain turns into puddles, lakes, rivers and oceans, matter turns into horseshoes, horses, people and the universe.

This alternate view of the universe explains why and how the universe works as opposed to what it does: gravity for example. We take the position that gravity does not break away from composite energy. It remains behind and applies pressure to all matter. It does not attract, it drives objects together when a differential force occurs between two or more objects. Flux vectors reveal how that differential takes place. In other words, our Universe is pressurized, space is pressurized, and space is an entity that gathers all matter into ever-growing objects. And, like matter, it can neither be created nor destroyed.

We tell this story in present tense as we explain how the composition of super forces changes states from energy to matter leaving one of the four super forces behind. 

The book is written at a high-school or drop-out level of understanding, so there is nothing complicated about how or why the universe does what it does. Any person interested in how length becomes shorter or how time passes slower with increasing speed toward that of light will know right away how that takes place. Any person interested in astronomy or how the universe works in general may be surprised at how simple this alternate view removes the mystery of why nothing can exceed the speed of light or even approach it in most instances.

Some readers may also be surprised to learn that the edge of their universe recedes at the speed of light, and it reveals new matter every day in the process. And another surprise may come when they realize how light travels on flux vectors. Yet, two more when they find out that their universe is only one of many and that space-time is a constant. Each person on earth lives within his or her own universe, and its edge always travels along with them. And they are always at its center. That leads to the title, Our Universe: An Alternate View

For those interested in global warming, you will find that Ice Ages are ongoing. They are either melting or freezing. The earth is near the end of its melting phase and will soon begin freezing in earnest. Within 6,000 years, there will be world-wide starvation because ice will cover most of the crop growing areas north of the equator, and there is not enough fertile land in the Southern Hemisphere to feed the world. That is, unless the Sahara Desert becomes productive again.

There are five (of many) important concepts that you will take away by reading Our Universe: An Alternate View: (1) the remaining superforce acts in a positive manner to crush objects—it does not attract, (2) new matter is revealed daily by the receding edge of our Universe at the speed of light; (3) if we could peer through the Cosmic Radiation Background, we would see composite energy or a Grand Energy from which we all came, (4) an object’s properties does not change near the speed of light—a sphere remains a sphere; a box remains a box, and (5) failed subparticles result in dark matter.

But, the most important perception to come about is what the universe is expanding into. Hint: is not nothing.

 

Be curious—you’re not that cat.
