Summary:
Sparse information physics is an early-Einstein-compatible, hyper-realist interpretation of physics based on two premises: (1) Vacuums are energy-free metrical illusions created by information relationships between what we think of as particles and objects, and (2) space and time are finite-size, local-only emergent properties of bound collections of particles and objects. Like particle charges, spacetime instances are real physical entities that contain energy derived from their bound systems, as seen in the finite-energy Casimir effect. The centrifugal properties of rotating systems are interpreted not as pseudoforces, but as intrinsic properties of the spacetime instances associated with such systems, making centrifugal forces as real as gravity. Spacetime instances are fractal in both size and clock speeds, ranging from ultra-slow cosmic filament spacetimes with vanishingly low energy densities to ultra-fast, ultra-high-energy particle spacetimes with incomplete (quantum) spacetimes. In this talk, Terry will explore the ramifications of sparse information physics for the Standard Model of Particle physics. This analytical path is the one most likely to produce practical technology results, particularly in the area of superconductors that create novel spacetime architectures.
