The Wilson Theory of Space.

This is mainly about 'fields' and the complete absence of them.

Imagine if there were only one piece of matter in the whole universe, a single
electron.

We know that the electron has an electric field around itself that will repel
like charges and attract unlike ones. Its strength tapers off with distance
according to an inverse square law. In the physical sense, we have no idea what
makes a 'field'.

Now the question we must ask is, what happens as we move further and further
away from the electron.
Does its field strength become infintely weaker and weaker? ...or is there a
point where it can be reduced no more and becomes fragmented.
In other words, is there a point where the electron field becomes so weak that
it can be no longer be reduced in strength? Can a point be reached where the
field of the electron doesn't permanently exist at all?

ARE FIELDS QUANTIZED?

Would there be regions of space where 'field quanta' are so rare that most of
that region literally consists of 'absolutely nothing'?

In space there are gravitational 'fields', electric fields, magnetic fields and
possibly a few that we know nothing about.. No matter where we go in the
universe, we will presumeably see distant stars and fall freely under the
influence of some gravitational system....so EM is reaching us regularly.
.....but is it possible that in very remote space, the fields that make up EM
and gravity become literally 'full of holes'?

My hypothesis says that 'empty' space somewhat resembles felted fibre or foam
polystyrene, where the fibrous or plastic bits resemble the field 'quanta'
whilst the holes consist of genuine 'nothing'. The holes are very temporary
since EM carrying its own fields passes through them continuously, partially
destroying them.

Because 'Wilsonian nort-holes' consist of nothing, they have no properties, no
geometry, no time. The concept of an infinite nort-hole presents no real
problem since the word 'nothing' in reality implies a genuine 'absence of
anything' and without anything, the concept of infinity doesn't really exist.

It is possible that huge nort-holes separate all the individual universes that
make up space.

Light travels through a nort-hole purely ballistically since there is no
intrinsic dielectric constant or magnetic permeability there. Maxwell's
equations have no relevance in a nort-hole.

Any attempt to investigate a nort-hole will destroy it.

The 'Wilson Density Threshold' is that at which nort-holes first start to
appear. (Note: 'density' refers to both matter and fields, here)
As the density decreases, so does the proportion of 'nothing' in any volume.

Indeed, since nort-holes possess no spatial properties, the true volume of what
we presently refer to as 'empty space' must be redefined to mean 'that volume
actually occupied by field quanta which exist there'. It is a distinct
possibility that lengths as well as volumes are effectively 'contracted' in
most of intergalactic space.

What makes space carrying field quanta different from that which is completely
devoid of any is a question that remains to be answered.







It is reasonable to assume that space that contains a fields
