Predictions

The fol­lowing is a par­tial list of the geo­metric con­se­quences (and there­fore pre­dic­tions) of quantum space theory (qst):

  1. the geom­etry of qst pre­dicts that there is a max­imum and min­imum limit for space­time cur­va­ture. The ratio of a circle’s cir­cum­fer­ence to its diam­eter can be used to rep­re­sent these limits. In regions of zero cur­va­ture this ratio takes on the value of 3.141592653… or π. A quan­tized geom­etry requires that a max­imum cut off for cur­va­ture also exists, which leads to a min­imum opposing value for this ratio. Work is cur­rently underway to show that when quan­ti­za­tion is defined on the Planck scale the most con­trasting value for this ratio will be 0.302822121… a number we are rep­re­senting with the Cyrillic letter ж (pro­nounced zhe).
  2. using the seven geo­metric descrip­tors of qst , and the five Planck para­me­ters of quan­tized space­time (lP, mP, tP, AP, TP, π and ж), qst pre­dicts the values of 29 of the con­stants of Nature with extreme pre­ci­sion!  See the Constants of Nature page for an expla­na­tion of those derivations.
  3. qst pre­dicts that, based on quan­ti­za­tion, the number of dimen­sions in super­sym­metric geome­tries are bound by the fol­lowing sequence: f(n) = 3n + n, where n = a whole number. Supersymmetric geome­tries are there­fore pre­dicted to be avail­able in (4, 11, 30, 85, 248, 735, 2194, 6569, 19692…) dimen­sions. As of 2008, 248 dimen­sions was the highest con­firmed super­sym­metric manifold.
  4. the geom­etry of qst require effects that appear to map to the effects of gravity, elec­tro­mag­netism, the weak and strong nuclear forces. When a full math­e­mat­ical for­malism is com­pleted it should be able to deter­mine whether or not those effects dic­tated by the geom­etry of qst pre­cisely match the strengths we mea­sure for those effects in Nature. The pre­dic­tion of qst is that they do.
  5. qst also enables us to depict a set of dynamics behind the four-dimensional con­cept of state reduc­tion or wave col­lapse. It sug­gests that wave col­lapse is a quality that depends upon a dimen­sion­ally reduced van­tage – merely a glimpse of the deeper dynamics occur­ring on the whole. Therefore, qst pre­dicts that deter­minism can be restored into a com­pete for­malism.
  6. qst pre­dicts that, ura­nium in grav­i­ta­tional field “A” will decay dif­fer­ently from ura­nium in grav­i­ta­tional field “B” if the mag­ni­tude of the two fields are dif­ferent. Near a black hole there is more space­time cur­va­ture – a higher spa­tial den­sity – and this means that the sea of space­time quanta is less likely to pro­vide an avail­able ‘tunnel’ for a par­ticle to sail through. In higher spa­tial den­si­ties it becomes more dif­fi­cult for any object larger than a single quantum to move through the super­spa­tial dimen­sions without inter­acting with any other quanta of space.
  7. another pre­dic­tion this model makes is that any par­ticle that tun­nels from one loca­tion to another will con­tinue to expe­ri­ence time while tun­neling. As it travels, it is freely res­onating and is there­fore expe­ri­encing time inde­pen­dently. Therefore, while it is tun­neling, it is absent from the con­nec­tivity of the fabric of x,y,z space, but it is still evolving through time. However, since the object travels without making con­tact with the rest of the space­time medium, it remains pos­sible for it to arrive in a dis­tant loca­tion in less time than it would take light to prop­a­gate there by moving through the con­nec­tivity of space.
  8. qst pre­dicts that the fre­quency of quantum tun­neling in our uni­verse increases with time (it increases as the back­ground tem­per­a­ture of space decreases). Since stellar processes depend upon quantum tun­neling, it may be prac­tical to test for changes in the con­tri­bu­tion of quantum tun­neling to those stellar processes with cur­rent technology.
  9. the geom­etry of qst pre­dicts that we can elim­i­nate illog­ical infini­ties within our axiomatic frame­work while also avoiding any over­whelming increase of func­tional freedom from the addi­tional dimen­sions in that map.
  10. qst pre­dicts that the inte­rior edges of dark matter haloes should have been fur­ther out from the cen­ters of their galaxies in the dis­tant past because the back­ground tem­per­a­ture of space was higher. As space has cooled these haloes should have reduced their inte­rior radii. Galaxies that give birth to little to no stars and gen­erate little heat should have dark matter haloes with sta­tis­ti­cally dimin­ished radii. This con­di­tion can be checked for by com­paring dark matter haloes from the dis­tant past to more recent haloes, and by com­paring the size of haloes to the average internal tem­per­a­ture of the host galaxy. If we find sev­eral suc­ces­sively dis­tant Einstein rings and or spiral galaxies with polar rings dis­persed throughout the vast regions of space­time then we should be able to com­pare obser­va­tion with the pre­dic­tions of qst in rela­tion to the changing inner radius of dark matter haloes as the uni­verse has cooled.
  11. another test for this pic­ture will come from mea­sure­ments of the internal tem­per­a­ture of space within spiral galaxies com­pared to the tem­per­a­tures inside bar-shaped galaxies. We should find that over time spiral disk galaxies should col­lapse into rotating bar-shaped galaxies unless they are sta­bi­lized by a phase change in space­time itself, which would have the effect of appearing as an embedded spher­ical dis­tri­b­u­tion of matter (a warp in space­time) in the galaxy itself. This means that on average spiral galaxies that have col­lapsed, or are col­lapsing into, bar-shaped galaxies should be warmer in tem­per­a­ture than stable spi­raled disk galaxies of the same mass. This increase in tem­per­a­ture would push the inte­rior edge of the galaxy’s dark matter halo out­ward – beyond the reach of the spi­raled arms – and would, there­fore, allow the col­lapse to pro­ceed toward bar-shape. Cooler galactic tem­per­a­tures, on the other hand, will pro­duce dark matter haloes that begin within reach of the spi­raled arms and will, there­fore, sta­bi­lized the spi­raled disk shape. By checking for these tem­per­a­ture dif­fer­ences and cor­re­la­tions we can test some of the pre­dic­tions of this model.
