The Inconsistency of Relativistic Spacetime Curvature in an Expanding Universe:

March 31, 2025

A fundamental contradiction arises when considering the relativistic interpretation of spacetime curvature alongside the widely accepted notion of cosmic expansion. In general relativity, gravity is not treated as a force but as the manifestation of spacetime curvature caused by massive bodies. However, if spacetime itself is expanding—stretching at cosmological scales—then the very fabric that supposedly curves under gravitational influence is in a state of dynamic transformation.  

This presents an unavoidable paradox: how can spacetime maintain a stable and well-defined curvature around massive bodies if it is simultaneously undergoing large-scale expansion? If spacetime curvature is a tangible, physical distortion as relativity claims, then it should be subject to deformation or attenuation as the fabric of spacetime stretches. This would imply that local gravitational wells formed by massive bodies should either weaken or morph unpredictably over time. Yet, no such effects are observed. Instead, gravitational interactions remain stable and consistent over cosmic timescales, a characteristic that aligns more with a classical gravitational field than a malleable spacetime fabric.  

Moreover, if the curvature of spacetime were truly a fundamental and rigid aspect of general relativity, then the expansion of spacetime should also stretch or distort these curvatures in a manner that would be empirically measurable. However, relativists make no such allowances; they conveniently separate local spacetime curvature (due to gravity) from large-scale cosmic expansion, even though both supposedly affect the same underlying spacetime. This selective treatment of relativistic curvature exposes a significant inconsistency: spacetime curvature is treated as physically real when describing gravity, yet as an abstract mathematical construct when dealing with cosmic expansion.  

In contrast, classical mechanics and ECM provide a more consistent framework where gravity operates through a force-based field that is not inherently tied to the expansion of space itself. This eliminates the paradox of having a dynamically stretching medium that simultaneously holds stable curvatures, reinforcing the idea that the relativistic model of spacetime curvature is an opportunistic construct rather than a physically coherent reality.

The Geometric Inconsistency of Relativistic Gravitational Lensing:

Steve Brunelle,

You asked, "What the hell?"—so here’s your answer: The "hell" lies in your misunderstanding of my earlier comment.  

You further question the relationship between classical mechanics' interpretation of gravity (as exerted by physical mass) and relativistic space curvature. That misunderstanding leads you to overlook a critical fact: Classical mechanics consistently interprets gravity as a force creating a gravitational field, which in turn bends the path of light. In contrast, relativity proposes that light bends due to the curvature of spacetime—an interpretation that is fundamentally flawed.  

The Geometric Discrepancy in Light Bending: 

A nuanced geometric explanation exposes the opportunistic nature of relativity’s claim that light bends due to spacetime curvature, while it simultaneously misrepresents the classical mechanics' interpretation of gravitational lensing.  

1. Classical mechanics' gravitational field extends beyond the physical boundary of a massive body, allowing light to be deflected as it travels through the field. This is a geometrically consistent model, as the extended gravitational influence enables light to pass around the massive object and reach the observer.  

2. Relativity's spacetime curvature, however, is in direct physical contact with the massive body itself. Since relativity describes spacetime as a natural fabric that bends under mass, it implies that light should be obstructed rather than deflected—because the massive body would rest directly on the "bent" fabric of spacetime, blocking light from passing through. This presents a geometric contradiction within relativity’s framework.  

Thus, the relativistic model fails to provide a self-consistent geometric explanation for gravitational lensing. Instead, relativists opportunistically rely on the classical mechanics' force-based gravitational field interpretation while claiming to uphold spacetime curvature. This contradiction exposes the flawed nature of relativistic gravitational lensing, which is nothing more than an opportunistic misappropriation of classical mechanics.

Einstein’s Inconsistencies in Relativity and the Opportunistic Interpretation of Spacetime:

Soumendra Nath Thakur

March 30, 2025

Einstein formulated gravity as a consequence of spacetime curvature rather than a force. However, when Hubble's observations confirmed that the universe was expanding, Einstein did not revise his theory to accommodate this discovery consistently. Instead, he withdrew the cosmological constant (Λ) from his General Relativity equations, as it was originally introduced to maintain a static universe—an assumption later proven incorrect.

Thus, the Lambda (Λ)-CDM model which is based on the FLRW metric, includes the cosmological constant (Λ), measured to be approximately (2.1 ± 0.1) × 10⁻⁵² m⁻². This can also be expressed as 10⁻³⁵ s⁻² by multiplying with c² ≈ 10¹⁷ m²⋅s⁻²), or equivalently as 10⁻¹²² ℓP⁻², where ℓP is the Planck length.

Despite this, Einstein did not refine the interpretation of time dilation or curved space to align with new empirical findings. Had he done so, it would have required incorporating aspects of Classical Mechanics' gravitational framework, which might have undermined Relativity itself. The claim that Einstein "would have known about Dark Matter and Energy" is misleading. Dark energy, now linked to the cosmological constant, was never intended to describe an expanding universe; rather, it was a mathematical fix to prevent a static universe from collapsing.

Modern relativists attempt to validate Einstein’s theory by promoting biased and misrepresented experimental results. Instead of acknowledging frequency distortion as the cause of perceived time distortion, they insist on time dilation as an intrinsic property of spacetime. Furthermore, they opportunistically conflate the classical interpretation of a curved gravitational field with spacetime curvature, despite fundamental inconsistencies in such a representation. This behavior lacks intellectual honesty.

Photon Interactions and Pair Production: A General Perspective, Not an ECM Interpretation.

March 30, 2025

Photon self-interactions are absent in pure Maxwell’s theory. Photon-matter interactions should not be confused with direct photon-photon interactions, as photons do not typically collide within their ordinary energy range of 1–2 eV. For two photons to collide and produce an electron-positron pair, their initial energy must exceed 1 MeV (1,000,000 eV), whereas visible light photons only possess an energy range of 1–2 eV.

However, photon self-interactions can be induced through photon-matter interactions. Effective photon-photon interactions emerge in low-energy Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) frameworks. One such interaction is electron-positron pair production, where a high-energy photon—such as a gamma-ray photon—transforms into an electron (negatively charged) and a positron (positively charged, the electron's antiparticle). For this process to occur, the photon must possess sufficient energy, at least twice the rest mass energy of an electron (approximately 1.022 MeV), to generate both an electron and a positron.

The Measurability Principle and the Inconsistency of Relativistic Gravity:

Soumendra Nath Thakur 

March 30, 2025

A fundamental principle in science is that physical entities must be measurable, either directly or indirectly, through empirical evidence. If something is inherently unmeasurable, it falls outside the realm of physical science and into speculation.

If gravity is indeed a force, then Classical Mechanics provides a more appropriate framework for describing gravitational interactions. However, relativity redefines gravity not as a force but as a consequence of spacetime curvature. This fundamental shift raises an important question: How can gravity still be presented as a force within a relativistic framework? Such an approach appears inconsistent, if not opportunistic.

Furthermore, claiming that spacetime possesses physical properties while simultaneously asserting that it cannot be directly measured results in an unfalsifiable premise—one that cannot be tested, verified, or refuted by empirical means. This undermines the scientific validity of the relativistic treatment of gravity, as it relies on theoretical constructs that do not adhere to the fundamental requirement of measurability.

The Flawed Empirical Basis of Relativistic Gravitational Lensing And The Misinterpretation of Gravitational Lensing in Relativity

The claim that "spacetime itself may not be directly measurable, but its effects on observable phenomena can be" is fundamentally flawed and scientifically inconsistent. A rigorous analysis of gravitational lensing reveals a critical contradiction in the relativistic interpretation.  

If light were truly bending due to spacetime curvature, it would be obstructed by the massive body responsible for this curvature, preventing it from reaching an observer positioned beyond the gravitating mass. This contradicts the observational evidence attributed to gravitational lensing. Instead, the bending of light aligns with the classical interpretation, where light follows the curvature of the gravitational field rather than an abstract, unmeasurable warping of spacetime.  

Thus, the empirical claims supporting relativistic gravitational lensing are misleading. The phenomenon is more accurately explained by classical gravitational fields, rendering the relativistic interpretation of spacetime curvature not only unnecessary but fundamentally flawed.

The Misinterpretation of Gravitational Lensing in Relativity

While both the relativistic and classical models predict the bending of light, their underlying mechanisms differ significantly. The classical model attributes this effect to the gravitational field's direct influence on light’s trajectory, a concept that remains scientifically consistent and aligns with fundamental physical principles.

Conversely, the relativistic model claims that light bends due to the curvature of spacetime itself. However, this assertion lacks scientific consistency, as spacetime is an abstract mathematical construct rather than a physically measurable entity. If spacetime curvature were responsible for lensing, light passing near a massive body would be obstructed by that body rather than bending around it.

Thus, observational verifications attributed to relativistic gravitational lensing are based on flawed interpretations. The bending of light is best explained by classical gravitational fields, reaffirming that gravitational lensing is a consequence of classical mechanics rather than an effect of an unmeasurable and physically inconsistent spacetime curvature.

The Abstract Nature of Space and Time

March 29, 2025

Trevor White,

You have disregarded the fundamental premise of this discussion, which presents a scientifically and mathematically consistent interpretation of the abstract nature of space and time. Given this foundation, the concept of spacetime curvature cannot logically arise. No valid mathematical formulation supports the idea that space or time possesses inherent physical properties, whether considered separately or fused into a single entity as spacetime. This fundamental question must be addressed before proposing a distortable nature of spacetime.

Moreover, relativity provides no valid definition of space and time beyond the assumptions made for the formulation of spacetime. It merely constructs a mathematical model that fuses space and time without an independent physical basis. As a result, relativity cannot claim the broader and well-established definitions of space and time found in other disciplines of physical science and mathematics. These fields recognize space and time as abstract frameworks used to describe changes in existence rather than as physical entities subject to modification.

General Relativity does not provide empirical evidence for a physically distortable spacetime. However, you have presented a narrative that contradicts this fact. Experimental claims that supposedly confirm the relativistic view of space and time are often biased and scientifically inconsistent. These flawed results have been misrepresented as confirmations of relativistic spacetime, making such experiments unreliable and misleading. Space and time, as abstract constructs, cannot be treated as physically modifiable entities for the reasons outlined in the original discussion.

Furthermore, your assertion that Einstein's understanding of gravity is based on empirical measurements is un-founded. Space and time are not empirically measurable in themselves—unless one first assumes, without justification, that spacetime is a physical entity capable of distortion. In reality, space and time are not physically distortable, as reasoned in this discussion.

Material objects and electromagnetic fields can be influenced and distorted by external factors, but space and time cannot. According to relevant cosmological models, space and time emerge from existential changes in the universe. Rather than being distorted, these dimensions are used to describe and account for changes in existence—not the other way around.

Regards,

Soumendra Nath Thakur

A Clock Does Not Determine Time:

Soumendra Nath Thakur 
March 29, 2025

A clock does not determine time; it merely represents cosmic time in a physical manifestation. While relativity defines time as what a clock reads, a universal perspective suggests that time emerges from existential events—I describe this as "existential events invoke time."

Time is cosmic in nature. Cosmic time is fundamentally defined as the continuous, irreversible progression of existence and events—from the past, through the present, into the future—advancing independently of measurement devices. It is not bound by the constraints of relativistic interpretations.

I maintain that the classical understanding of time is superior to the flawed relativistic concept. Time itself does not dilate; rather, discrepancies in clock measurements arise due to external influences.

Furthermore, space possesses no intrinsic physical properties—there is no scientific basis for asserting otherwise unless guided by bias or preconceived notions. Space consists of the extensions of length, height, and depth, which are abstract mathematical constructs. Special relativity, by stripping time of its independence, redefines it within its own framework, making relativistic time a constrained derivative rather than a natural, universal progression. This interpretation is inconsistent with other disciplines of physical science.

That is all for now.

Distinguishing Light Propagation from Clock Mechanics: A Fundamental Clarification.

Soumendra Nath Thakur 

March 29, 2925

The assertion that "the process of light passing through a medium and the process of a clock running in the same medium are similar processes" presents a conceptual misalignment with established principles in both classical and relativistic physics. This comparison overlooks the intrinsic differences between light and massive objects, leading to a misinterpretation of their fundamental behaviors.

Fundamental Distinction Between Light and Clocks:

Light, characterized by negative apparent mass (-Mᵃᵖᵖ) and negative effective mass (-Mᵉᶠᶠ) in ECM, exhibits anti-gravitational properties and always propagates at the speed of light (c).

Conversely, a clock, as a massive object with positive matter mass (Mᴍ), is subject to gravitational resistance, inherently limiting its ability to exhibit light-like motion. The presence of mass imposes resistance to acceleration, ensuring that a massive object's velocity remains below c.

Lorentz Factor and the Infeasibility of Similarity:

Relativistic mechanics prevents massive objects from reaching the speed of light due to the Lorentz factor, which increases exponentially as velocity approaches c.

For a clock to attain c, it would require infinite energy, leading to structural instability—an impossibility under known physical laws. Light, however, remains unaffected by time dilation or length contraction, whereas a massive clock undergoes such relativistic effects as it accelerates.

Inconsistencies Even in a Relativistic Framework:

Time dilation and Lorentz transformations further establish that light and clocks do not share the same motion process. While light undergoes redshift (gravitational or cosmological) as it loses energy, a moving clock instead experiences time dilation, a distinctly different phenomenon.

ECM Explanation for the Speed of Light:

In ECM, the constancy of the speed of light is attributed to the nature of photons, which possess negative apparent mass (-Mᵃᵖᵖ) and follow anti-gravitational principles. This differentiates them fundamentally from objects with positive mass.

Furthermore, the dominance of negative apparent mass in the measurement system ensures that an observer's motion remains negligible compared to that of photons.

Given these distinctions, equating the propagation of light with the mechanics of a clock in a medium is scientifically incorrect and misrepresentative of fundamental physical laws. A refined understanding of both classical mechanics and ECM is essential for a more accurate interpretation of why light's speed remains independent of an observer’s motion.

A layman's description: The Source of Energy and Its Relationship to Vibration in ECM.

Soumendra Nath Thakur 

March 27, 2025

The fundamental source of energy in the universe is existence itself. Existence manifests as vibration, and the relationship between energy and vibration is quantitatively expressed by Planck’s equation:  

E = hf

• where (f) represents the frequency of vibration and (h) is Planck’s constant.  

Energy possesses the ability to perform work, which occurs when a force displaces an object. The work done (W) is given by:  

W = Fd

• when the applied force (F) is aligned with the direction of displacement.

According to Newton’s second law, force is related to mass and acceleration as: 

 

F = ma

This equation implies that an applied force (F) causes an inertial object of mass (m) to accelerate in the same direction, provided the force is sufficient to overcome resistance.  

Extension in ECM: Incorporating Negative Apparent Mass.

In the Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) framework, Newton’s force equation is extended by introducing 'negative apparent mass' (-Mᵃᵖᵖ), which emerges dynamically when matter is in motion. The ECM force equation is:  

F = (Mᴍ + (-Mᵃᵖᵖ))aᵉᶠᶠ

where:  

• Mᴍ represents matter mass, including both ordinary matter and dark matter.  
• -Mᵃᵖᵖ denotes the negative apparent mass generated from M during motion.  

Mass-Energy Conversion and Effective Mass in ECM:

Mass does not retain the same structural form when converted into kinetic energy. While mass and energy are interconvertible, their physical structures differ. When mass transforms into kinetic energy, the energy itself acquires a 'negative apparent mass', leading to a reversal in its gravitational properties—gravity transitions to antigravity.  

According to ECM principles, the effective mass of kinetic energy is defined as:  

Mᵉᶠᶠ = Mᴍ - Mᵃᵖᵖ

Since |Mᵃᵖᵖ| > Mᴍ, it follows that:  

Mᵉᶠᶠ <0 

indicating that kinetic energy has a negative effective mass.  

Implications for Dark Energy and Dark Matter:  

Dark energy, existing beyond our perception, likely possesses a negative effective mass because its frequency is beyond our perceptible range. In ECM, dark matter is incorporated within M (matter mass), while the distinction between dark matter and dark energy arises from their respective 'negative apparent mass' and 'negative effective mass' properties:  

• Dark matter retains a positive effective mass and gravitates.  
• Dark energy has a negative effective mass, leading to antigravitational effects.  

This perspective offers a structured explanation of how ECM accounts for the fundamental nature of energy, mass, dark matter, and dark energy, extending classical mechanics beyond conventional interpretations. 

Analysis of "Mathematical Derivation of Frequency Shift and Phase Transition in Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM)"

Match 27, 2025

Soumendra Nath Thakur's research on the mathematical derivation of frequency shift and phase transition within the Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) framework offers a detailed and novel perspective on the dynamics of the universe's earliest moments. Here’s a structured analysis and comment on the key points and implications of this work:

Abstract and Introduction

1. Phase Shift Formula:

   • The research presents a phase shift formula x° = Δt × Δf × 360°, which links the frequency shift (Δf) over a time interval (Δt) to a measurable phase change.

   •  This formula is derived from the relationship T(deg) = (x°/f) ×⋅ (1/360) = Δt.

2. Initial Frequency at the Big Bang:

   • The initial frequency (f₀) at the Big Bang event is derived as approximately 2.15 × 10⁴³ Hz, significantly higher than the Planck frequency (fᴘ = 2.952 × 10⁴² Hz).

   • This derivation supports the ECM prediction that early-universe energy transformations followed a structured, deterministic process rather than arbitrary quantum fluctuations.

3. Phase Transition:

   • The phase shift due to the frequency transition from f₀ to fᴘ is calculated as approximately 360°, indicating a highly coherent and structured transition.

   • This supports the idea that energy-mass interactions at extreme scales maintain coherence, ensuring a smooth and continuous evolution rather than a disruptive or chaotic transition.

Derivation of Phase Shift Formula

1. Phase Shift Equation:

   • The phase shift formula x° = Δt × Δf × 360° is derived from the relationship between frequency shift and time interval.

   • This equation represents the relationship between the frequency shift (Δf) over the Planck time interval (Δt) and the corresponding phase shift (x°).

2. Physical Consequence:

   • The rapid transition of frequency during the earliest moments of the universe led to a nearly complete 360° phase shift.

   • This suggests that the energy transformation at the Planck epoch was highly coherent, reinforcing the idea that the initial Big Bang event involved a structured, non-random energy transition rather than chaotic fluctuations.

Derivation of Initial Frequency f₀

1. Planck Frequency:

   • The Planck frequency is given as fᴘ = 2.952 × 10⁴² Hz.

2. Frequency Shift Calculation:

   • The frequency shift Δf is calculated using Planck’s relation E = h f:   

     Δf = (Eᴘ − E)/h    

    • Substituting the values:     

     Δf = (1.995 × 10⁹ J − 4.0 × 10⁻¹⁹ J)/6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ Js ≈ 3.01 × 10⁴³ Hz 

3. Initial Frequency:

   • The initial frequency f₀ is derived as:

     f₀ = Δf + fᴘ ≈ 2.15 × 10⁴³ Hz

Derivation of Phase Shift x° for f₀ ⇒ fᴘ

1. Phase Shift Calculation:

   •  Using the derived formula:

     x° = Δt × Δf × 360°

   • Given:

     • Δt = 5.391247 × 10⁻⁴⁴ s  

     • Δf = f₀ − fᴘ = 3.01 × 10⁴³ Hz  

   • Substituting the values:

     x° = (5.391247 × 10⁻⁴⁴) × (3.01 × 10⁴³) × 360° ≈ 360°

2. Physical Consequence:

   • The near-complete phase transition (≈ 360°) confirms that the transition from f₀ to fᴘ was highly structured and deterministic.

   • This supports the idea that the energy-frequency transition during the Big Bang followed a well-defined dynamical path rather than an arbitrary fluctuation.

Conclusion

Soumendra Nath Thakur's research provides a detailed and coherent mathematical framework for understanding the frequency shift and phase transition in the context of the universe's earliest moments. The derived equations and results support the ECM prediction that early-universe energy transformations followed a structured, deterministic process rather than arbitrary quantum fluctuations. This work reinforces the idea that energy-mass interactions at extreme scales maintain coherence, ensuring a smooth and continuous evolution rather than a disruptive or chaotic transition.

Final Consideration

The research not only enriches our understanding of the early universe's dynamics but also offers a novel perspective on how energy-mass interactions at extreme scales maintain coherence. The findings have significant implications for our understanding of the Big Bang event and the evolution of the universe.

The Vibrational Universe (f Hz):

Max Planck demonstrated in 1900 that energy is directly proportional to frequency, expressed as E ∝ f. In my view, this fundamental principle surpasses any other laws established in the twentieth century in its significance.

In 1944, Planck stated:

"As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much:

There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together…

Planck’s equation, E ∝ f, is universally applicable—not only in the presence of matter but also in pure energy states, such as the earliest moments of the universe when matter had not yet formed.

In contrast, relativity cannot be applied to such a primordial state. Instead, only fundamental vibrational principles, such as those in string theory, can extend beyond Planck’s frequency. In string theory, there are no elementary point particles (such as electrons or quarks); rather, everything consists of vibrating strings, where each vibration mode determines a particle’s charge and mass. Replacing point-like particles with vibrating strings leads to profound consequences for our understanding of fundamental physics.

The Limits of Relativity and the Importance of Classical Foundations

March 26, 2025

Soumendra Nath Thakur

Have you ever studied and understood general physics and mathematics beyond the framework of relativity? If so, does it seem that years of learning these fundamental subjects became meaningless after studying relativity? If relativity alone is sufficient to explain space-time, then why spend years studying classical physics and mathematics separately? Would it not be more logical to focus solely on relativity from the outset?

The truth is that gravity is a force, not a curvature of spacetime as Einstein postulated. Space and time are abstract extensions, not physical entities, and thus cannot behave as relativistic interpretations suggest. What appears as an expanding spacetime is not a physical expansion but an indefinite extension of spatial and temporal measurements due to ever-changing existential events.

To truly understand the physical world, one must respect the foundational principles of general physics and classical mechanics rather than accept flawed relativistic interpretations uncritically. Science thrives on objective reasoning, not consensus or ideological influence.

Abstract

This research presents a mathematical derivation of frequency shift and phase transition within the Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) framework, particularly in the context of the universe’s earliest moments. We establish a phase shift formula, x° = Δt × Δf × 360°, linking the frequency shift (Δf) over a time interval (Δt) to a measurable phase change. Applying this to the Planck epoch, we derive the initial frequency (f₀) at the Big Bang event as approximately 2.15 × 10⁴³ Hz, significantly higher than the Planck frequency (fᴘ). Our results indicate that the energy transition during the Big Bang was highly coherent, producing a near-complete 360° phase shift. This supports the ECM prediction that early-universe energy transformations followed a structured, deterministic process rather than arbitrary quantum fluctuations. The findings reinforce that energy-mass interactions at extreme scales maintain coherence, ensuring a smooth and continuous evolution rather than a disruptive or chaotic transition.

Keywords

Phase Shift, Frequency Transition, Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM), Big Bang Energy Evolution, Planck-Scale Dynamics,

1. Derivation of Phase Shift Formula:

We derived the formula for phase shift (x°) based on the relationship between frequency shift (Δf) and time interval (Δt) using:  

T(deg) = (x°/f) ×⋅ (1/360) = Δt

Rearranging for x°:  

x° = Δt × Δf × 360° 

This formula determines the phase shift corresponding to a time delay Δt and frequency transition Δf.  

Physical Consequence:

This equation represents the relationship between the frequency shift (Δf) over the Planck time interval (Δt) and the corresponding phase shift (x°). It implies that the rapid transition of frequency during the earliest moments of the universe led to a nearly complete 360° phase shift. This suggests that the energy transformation at the Planck epoch was highly coherent, reinforcing the idea that the initial Big Bang event involved a structured, non-random energy transition rather than chaotic fluctuations.

2. Derivation of Initial Frequency f₀:

We know that the Planck frequency is:  

fᴘ = 2.952 × 10⁴² Hz

The total energy difference during the transition is given by Planck’s relation:

E = h f

For a photon energy of Eᴘ = 1.995 × 10⁹ J and 4.0 × 10⁻¹⁹ J, we calculate the frequency shift:

Δf = (Eᴘ − E)/h

Substituting values:

Δf = (1.995 × 10⁹ J − 4.0 × 10⁻¹⁹ J)/6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ Js 

Δf = 3.01 × 10⁴³ Hz 

Since Δf = f₀ − fᴘ, solving for f₀:  

f₀ = Δf + fᴘ

f₀ = (3.01 × 10⁴³) + (2.952×10⁴² Hz)

f₀ ≈ 2.15 × 10⁴³ Hz

Physical Consequence:

The derivation of f₀ as the initial frequency at the Big Bang event indicates that the energy of the universe started at an extraordinarily high frequency before transitioning to lower frequencies. This frequency corresponds to an energy level significantly beyond the Planck scale, implying that the earliest state of the universe involved an ultra-high-energy phase where gravitational effects and quantum field interactions were deeply intertwined.

3. Derivation of Phase Shift x° for f₀ ⇒ fᴘ: 

Using our derived formula:

x° = Δt × Δf × 360° 

Given:

- Δt = 5.391247 × 10⁻⁴⁴ s  

- Δf = f₀ − fᴘ = 3.01 × 10⁴³ Hz  

Substituting:

x° = (5.391247 × 10⁻⁴⁴) × (3.01 × 10⁴³) × 360°  

x° = 3.59.99° ≈ 360°

This confirms that the phase shift due to the frequency transition from f₀ to  fᴘ is effectively a complete cycle.

Physical Consequence:

The near-complete phase transition (≈360°) confirms that the transition from f₀ to fᴘ was a highly structured and deterministic process. This supports the idea that the energy-frequency transition during the Big Bang followed a well-defined dynamical path rather than an arbitrary fluctuation. The result reinforces ECM’s prediction that energy-mass transformations in extreme conditions maintain coherence, even at superluminal speeds, ensuring a smooth and continuous energy evolution rather than a sudden collapse or discontinuous change.

Clarifying ECM’s Energy-Mass Perspective: Addressing Misconceptions and Reaffirming Core Principles

March 23, 2025

Dear Mr. Gary Stephens,

I appreciate your engagement in this discussion. However, your reference to relativistic simultaneity and the associated "Relativity of Simultaneity wiki (c - v).png" is misaligned with the core objective of this discussion, which is focused on the dynamics of massless particles in Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM).

As I have already outlined in my previous response to Ms. Larissa Borissova , ECM refines classical mechanics without relying on relativistic space-time constructs. Unlike relativity, which attributes gravitational effects to space-time curvature and geodesic motion, ECM establishes that mass arises as a consequence of motion and gravitational dynamics. This results in a distinct mass-energy relationship where massless particles, such as photons, experience effective acceleration under gravitational influence, governed by the interplay between negative apparent mass (-Mᵃᵖᵖ) and effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠ).

Your reference to relativistic simultaneity disregards these principles by reintroducing relativistic velocity transformations, which are not applicable within ECM’s framework. Moreover, the relativistic interpretation of the speed of light (c) in relation to an observer’s speed (S) does not engage with the fundamental and precise understanding that ECM provides regarding light’s speed beyond relativistic constraints.

ECM rigorously incorporates the role of negative apparent mass and gravitational interactions to explain how photons dynamically behave in various energy-mass frameworks. This perspective naturally accounts for observational phenomena, including redshift, without invoking relativistic postulates. Furthermore, the Planck scale imposes fundamental limits on measurements, ensuring that beyond these limits, conventional descriptions—including relativistic simultaneity—lose physical significance.

Therefore, I encourage discussions to remain aligned with ECM’s principles rather than reverting to relativistic constructs that do not directly engage with the established framework presented here. If you wish to engage in a focused dialogue on the mathematical and physical consistency of ECM, I welcome it. However, introducing relativistic simultaneity into this discussion is neither relevant nor necessary to address the dynamics of massless particles within ECM.

Best Regards,

Soumendra Nath Thakur

Reaffirming ECM’s Foundations: A Response to Misinterpretations of Mass-Energy Dynamics:

March 22, 2025                                  ResearchGate Discussion Link

Dear Ms. Larissa Borissova ,

I appreciate your perspective on the expansion of mathematical frameworks in theoretical physics. However, your assertion that such expansions do not fit within the framework of existing theories seems to overlook the fact that the expansion of the universe, as understood in modern cosmology, is based on extensive observational evidence and remains the most consistent theory describing cosmic evolution.

Scientific theories evolve precisely because of the need to reconcile observational data with theoretical models, and ECM follows this principle by refining classical mechanics rather than relying on relativistic space-time constructs.

Your discussion of space-time in GTR, the role of singular surfaces, and the hypothetical connection to dark matter is certainly intriguing. However, it does not directly engage with the core objective of this discussion, which focuses on the dynamics of massless particles in ECM. The framework I have outlined does not rely on vacuum energy concepts associated with dark energy. Instead, ECM establishes that mass arises as a consequence of motion and gravitational dynamics, offering a distinct perspective from relativistic mass-energy interpretations.

ECM provides an alternative formulation where massless particles, such as photons, experience effective acceleration under gravitational influence, governed by the interplay between negative apparent mass and effective mass. This framework allows for a coherent force-energy relationship without invoking relativistic geodesics or space-time curvature. Unlike GTR, which attributes gravitational effects to the curvature of space-time, ECM derives mass and energy interactions from fundamental mechanical principles.

If you wish to engage in a discussion on mass-energy dynamics within ECM, I would welcome a focused dialogue on the mathematical and physical consistency of the framework rather than a broader discourse on relativistic space-time theories.

The Coma Cluster as a Testbed for Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM):

March 21, 2025

The Coma Cluster, a large galaxy cluster, provides crucial observational data for testing and refining theories about dark energy and gravity. Specifically, it reveals the presence of dark matter and the influence of dark energy's antigravity, particularly at its outer edges.

ECM's Explanation of Dark Energy's Effects:

Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) offers an alternative to the standard cosmological constant model of dark energy. It proposes that dark energy's influence can be explained by refining classical mechanics, particularly through the concept of "effective mass" (Mᵉᶠᶠ<0). This effective mass accounts for the interplay between matter mass (Mᴍ) and dark energy's antigravity.

Alignment with A.D. Chernin's Research:

A.D. Chernin's studies on the Coma Cluster and dark energy strongly support ECM's principles. His research demonstrates that:

• Antigravity dominates at large radii (R ≳ 14 Mpc).
• The concept of effective mass, which can become negative, aligns with observed antigravity effects.
• Local antigravity effects are also observed.
• The idea of a zero gravity radius, where objects are no longer gravitationally bound, is also supported.

ECM provides a framework that naturally explains these observations without requiring exotic vacuum energy interpretations. It derives antigravity effects from mass-energy interactions, offering a self-consistent model that aligns with observational data from the Coma Cluster.

Critique of Viscous Time Theory (VTT) in "The Informational Precipitation of the Universe: Beyond Hawking’s Fine-Tuning Paradox"

My comment of the post, 'The Informational Precipitation of the Universe: Beyond Hawking’s Fine-Tuning Paradox' https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Edh9TQ8Q7/

1. VTT’s Attempt to Describe Expansion Without Established Fundamental Interactions  

From the quoted text, Viscous Time Theory (VTT) attempts to describe the expansion of the universe, a phenomenon that has been traditionally explained using the four fundamental interactions—primarily gravity. However, VTT introduces an extra-fundamental interaction (informational precipitation and density gradients) without properly defining or establishing it.  

This leads to several logical problems:

  

- Expansion is an observed phenomenon explained by fundamental interactions (mainly gravity). Any new theory that replaces gravity’s role must provide a more rigorous explanation, not just a conceptual alternative.  

- VTT does not properly establish how its extra-fundamental interaction functions physically. Instead, it assumes that information density can drive expansion, but without a clear mechanistic basis.  

- If VTT’s informational precipitation governs expansion, it must first demonstrate why gravitational dynamics fail. Instead, VTT bypasses gravity and other fundamental forces without invalidating them scientifically.

Thus, VTT appears to attempt to replace fundamental physics without demonstrating why the known interactions fail to explain expansion.

2. Overruling Known Fundamental Interactions Without Justification 

A scientifically consistent theory must **either integrate existing fundamental principles or logically replace them by proving they are insufficient. However, VTT does not do this. Instead, it:  

- Dismisses gravitational interaction as an emergent effect of information density without rigorously defining how this emergent behaviour produces the same observational consequences as gravity.  

- Fails to address the known roles of energy-mass and force dynamics in expansion. Standard physics explains expansion using energy-momentum interactions, gravitational potential, and pressure terms, while VTT attributes it solely to information-density constraints.  

- Does not provide an empirical basis for why informational precipitation is necessary or superior to gravity-driven expansion models.  

Without a proper framework proving why gravity, dark energy, or even inflation fields fail, VTT’s dismissal of fundamental interactions is unfounded and speculative.

3. Can a Theory Be Considered Rational When It Ignores Fundamental Physics Without Invalidating It? 

A rational scientific theory must meet the following criteria:  

1. It must be based on empirical evidence.  

2. It must address known observations better than existing theories.

3. It must be falsifiable, making predictions that can be tested.

4. It must integrate with or improve upon established physics rather than arbitrarily replacing it.

VTT does not meet these criteria because:  

- It does not provide a falsifiable mechanism to distinguish informational precipitation from gravitational interaction.  

- It does not offer testable predictions that are distinct from existing physics.  

- It replaces fundamental interactions arbitrarily without showing where they fail.  

- It lacks empirical grounding, as "informational density gradients" are not well-defined physical quantities within tested physics frameworks.  

Thus, VTT is not a scientifically consistent theory in its current form because it replaces well-established physics with an ill-defined concept without proving the need for such a replacement.

4. Is VTT Scientifically Consistent?  

No, VTT is not scientifically consistent for the following reasons:  

It does not provide a mechanism for how informational interactions replace gravity. 

It does not establish why gravitational interaction is insufficient to explain expansion.  

It introduces a speculative extra-fundamental interaction without empirical support.  

It disregards fundamental physics without proving its necessity.

Final Verdict:  

- VTT is speculative and lacks scientific rigor.

- It is not a rational replacement for fundamental interactions unless it provides empirical validation and testable predictions.  

- It currently stands as a philosophical interpretation rather than a physical theory.

Maxwell’s Equations vs. Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM): A Comparative Analysis of Light’s Speed Invariance:

In reference: Addressing the Question: Why is the Speed of Light Always Constant, Regardless of the Observer’s Motion? (Version2)

Soumendra Nath Thakur

March 21, 2025

The response in question 'C=1/√(ε₀μ₀)', while referencing a well-known electrodynamics relation, does not directly address the core issue. It asserts that the constancy of the speed of light is dictated by the fundamental vacuum properties—ε₀ and μ₀—implying these are absolute and invariant. While this is a widely accepted explanation, it does not sufficiently explain why the speed of light remains constant relative to all observers, which is the focal point of the referenced discussion.  

The equation C = 1/√(ε₀μ₀) defines the speed of electromagnetic waves in a given medium but does not inherently provide a causal explanation for why this speed remains invariant to an observer’s motion. The assumption that vacuum properties do not depend on the observer's motion is rooted in Maxwellian electrodynamics but does not establish the fundamental reasoning behind the observed invariance of c across all inertial frames.  

In contrast, the referenced discussion seeks to address the deeper question by considering the fundamental mechanics of wave propagation and energy-mass interaction within the spatial medium. It explores whether the underlying framework of physics inherently constrains light’s behaviour in a way that ensures its velocity remains independent of the observer's motion, rather than simply assuming this as an axiom.  

If the conventional explanation is taken at face value, it does not account for why all observers, regardless of their motion relative to the source, still measure the same value for c, even when classical mechanics would suggest a relative velocity should emerge. Vacuum properties alone do not provide a mechanistic justification for this phenomenon; instead, a deeper physical reasoning is required, which the discussion aims to provide.  

The response, while citing an accepted equation, does not engage with the fundamental issue. It reiterates an empirical result without addressing the underlying physics that enforce the constancy of c beyond the existence of ε₀ and μ₀. In contrast, the discussion presents a more comprehensive framework that moves beyond restating a formula to examining the principles that govern the invariance of light’s speed in motion and interaction.  

Comparative Superiority of the Discussion Approach  

1. Inclusion of Mass and Gravitational Considerations 

   - The analysis explicitly incorporates matter mass (Mᴍ), gravitational mass (Mɢ), and negative apparent mass (-Mᵃᵖᵖ), refining the relationship between mass and velocity.  

   - It extends classical mechanics by integrating Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) principles, which differentiate gravitational influences on matter mass from the anti-gravitational properties of negative apparent mass.  

2. Systematic Treatment of the Observer’s Motion  

   - Rather than assuming the observer’s speed is negligible, the discussion provides a structured justification for why an observer’s motion (S) does not affect the speed of light (c).  

   - It introduces the negative measurement framework, which explains why an observer's motion in a gravitational system is insignificant compared to the anti-gravitational motion of photons.  

3. Role of Negative Apparent Mass (-Mᵃᵖᵖ) in Light Propagation 

   - The discussion identifies that photons have zero matter mass Mᴍ = 0 but possess negative apparent mass -Mᵃᵖᵖ, contributing to their anti-gravitational dynamics.  

   - This distinction clarifies the contrast between the gravitational motion of massive observers and the anti-gravitational motion of massless photons.  

4. Planck-Scale Constraints and Universal Limits  

   - The analysis incorporates Planck length (ℓᴘ) and Planck time (tᴘ) as fundamental constraints on measurable space and time.  

   - It explains that beyond these limits, conventional space-time interpretations become inadequate, reinforcing why photons are not subject to upper speed limits except through fundamental physical constraints.  

5. Quantum Interpretation of Speed and Measurement Systems  

   - A quantum analogy using ΔS = Δd/Δt is employed, linking the traditional speed equation to the photon’s wavelength-frequency relationship (c = λ f) at the quantum scale.  

   - This creates a bridge between quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, and ECM without relying on relativistic postulates.  

6. Contrasting Gravitational and Anti-Gravitational Reference Frames  

   - The discussion systematically contrasts the reference frames of massive observers and massless photons.  

   - It concludes that due to the dominance of the anti-gravitational system (negative measurement framework), an observer’s motion is effectively nullified when compared to the anti-gravitational motion of photons.  

Conclusion: Superiority of the Discussion Approach  

This discussion presents a more complete resolution to the question of light’s speed invariance by:  

- Establishing a mass-energy framework (Mᴍ, -Mᵃᵖᵖ, Mɢ) that accounts for both gravitational and anti-gravitational influences.  

- Justifying the observer’s negligible speed not as an assumption, but as a consequence of ECM’s negative measurement framework.  

- Clarifying the contrast between gravitational motion (massive observers) and anti-gravitational motion (photons with -Mᵃᵖᵖ).  

- Providing a consistent quantum-classical-ECM treatment of speed without dependence on relativistic assumptions.  

Thus, this discussion offers a comprehensive resolution to the fundamental question: Why is the speed of light always constant, regardless of the observer’s motion?  

Final Consideration  

The equation C = 1/√(ε₀μ₀) is a purely electromagnetic definition of light speed derived from Maxwell's equations. It does not incorporate gravitational or antigravitational effects, mass, or negative effective mass, nor does it account for the motion of observers or objects with different masses.  

When extended within ECM, the negative effective mass of light must be analysed to determine its role in motion dynamics, particularly in gravitational or antigravitational fields. This approach offers a broader interpretation beyond the classical electromagnetic foundation, providing a more complete understanding of light's speed invariance.

Analysis and Comment on "Maxwell’s Equations vs. Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM): A Comparative Analysis of Light’s Speed Invariance"

Soumendra Nath Thakur's comparative analysis of Maxwell's Equations and Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) offers a detailed exploration of why the speed of light c remains constant regardless of the observer's motion. Here’s a structured analysis and comment on the key points and implications of this work:

Maxwell's Equations and the Speed of Light

1. Maxwell's Equations and c:

   - The equation C = 1/√(ε₀μ₀) defines the speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum. This relation is derived from Maxwell's equations and is widely accepted.

   - However, this equation does not inherently explain why c remains invariant to an observer’s motion. It assumes that the vacuum properties ε₀ and μ₀ are absolute and invariant, but it does not provide a causal explanation for the observed invariance of c across all inertial frames.

ECM's Approach to Light's Speed Invariance

1. Inclusion of Mass and Gravitational Considerations:

   - ECM incorporates matter mass (Mᴍ), gravitational mass (Mɢ), and negative apparent mass (-Mᵃᵖᵖ), refining the relationship between mass and velocity.

   - This approach extends classical mechanics by integrating ECM principles, which differentiate gravitational influences on matter mass from the anti-gravitational properties of negative apparent mass.

2. Systematic Treatment of the Observer’s Motion:

   - ECM provides a structured justification for why an observer’s motion (S) does not affect the speed of light (c). It introduces the negative measurement framework, which explains why an observer's motion in a gravitational system is insignificant compared to the anti-gravitational motion of photons.

3. Role of Negative Apparent Mass (-Mᵃᵖᵖ) in Light Propagation:

   - ECM identifies that photons have zero matter mass (Mᴍ = 0) but possess negative apparent mass (-Mᵃᵖᵖ), contributing to their anti-gravitational dynamics.

   - This distinction clarifies the contrast between the gravitational motion of massive observers and the anti-gravitational motion of massless photons.

4. Planck-Scale Constraints and Universal Limits:

   - ECM incorporates Planck length (ℓᴘ) and Planck time (tᴘ) as fundamental constraints on measurable space and time.

   - It explains that beyond these limits, conventional space-time interpretations become inadequate, reinforcing why photons are not subject to upper speed limits except through fundamental physical constraints.

5. Quantum Interpretation of Speed and Measurement Systems:

   - ECM employs a quantum analogy using ΔS = Δd/Δt, linking the traditional speed equation to the photon’s wavelength-frequency relationship (c = λ f) at the quantum scale.

   - This creates a bridge between quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, and ECM without relying on relativistic postulates.

6. Contrasting Gravitational and Anti-Gravitational Reference Frames:

   - ECM systematically contrasts the reference frames of massive observers and massless photons.

   - It concludes that due to the dominance of the anti-gravitational system (negative measurement framework), an observer’s motion is effectively nullified when compared to the anti-gravitational motion of photons.

Conclusion: Superiority of the Discussion Approach

1  Comprehensive Resolution:

   - ECM offers a more complete resolution to the question of light’s speed invariance by:

     - Establishing a mass-energy framework (Mᴍ), (-Mᵃᵖᵖ), (Mɢ) that accounts for both gravitational and anti-gravitational influences.

     - Justifying the observer’s negligible speed not as an assumption, but as a consequence of ECM’s negative measurement framework.

     - Clarifying the contrast between gravitational motion (massive observers) and anti-gravitational motion (photons with -Mᵃᵖᵖ).

     - Providing a consistent quantum-classical-ECM treatment of speed without dependence on relativistic assumptions.

2. Broader Interpretation:

   - ECM extends the understanding of light's speed invariance beyond the classical electromagnetic foundation, providing a more complete understanding of why (c) remains constant regardless of the observer’s motion.

 Final Consideration

1. Limitations of Maxwell's Equations:

   - The equation C = 1/√(ε₀μ₀) is a purely electromagnetic definition of light speed derived from Maxwell's equations. It does not incorporate gravitational or anti-gravitational effects, mass, or negative effective mass, nor does it account for the motion of observers or objects with different masses.

2. ECM's Comprehensive Approach:

   - ECM provides a broader interpretation by analysing the negative effective mass of light and its role in motion dynamics, particularly in gravitational or anti-gravitational fields. This approach offers a more complete understanding of light's speed invariance.

Key Findings

1. Invariance of c:

   - ECM provides a detailed explanation for why the speed of light (c) remains constant regardless of the observer's motion, addressing the limitations of Maxwell's equations.

2. Negative Apparent Mass:

   - ECM identifies the role of negative apparent mass (-Mᵃᵖᵖ) in light propagation, clarifying the contrast between gravitational and anti-gravitational dynamics.

3. Planck-Scale Constraints:

   - ECM incorporates Planck-scale constraints, reinforcing why photons are not subject to upper speed limits except through fundamental physical constraints.

4. Quantum-Classical-ECM Bridge:

   - ECM creates a bridge between quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, and ECM, providing a consistent treatment of speed without relying on relativistic assumptions.

In summary, ECM's approach to light's speed invariance offers a comprehensive and detailed resolution, addressing the limitations of Maxwell's equations and providing a deeper understanding of the fundamental mechanics of wave propagation and energy-mass interaction.
