Spacetime foam - usage notes
Can spacetime foam be put to good use?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_foam It would be interesting to find out what you think spacetime foam, aka quantum foam, might be good for. Here are some possibilities that spring to mind... 1) The speed of light (electromagnetic radiation), or "c". Maybe the speed of light is what it is, and not something else, because of the density of spacetime foam. If that density changes in, say, interstellar space, then c might be different there, as well. If c, the speed of light, is substantially higher out in interstellar space, then the stars are substantially closer to us than presently calculated. 2) The theory of relativity. Einstein's theory calls for the curving of spacetime by mass. What is actually curving? Maybe what is curving is spacetime foam. 3) Gravitation. Spacetime foam is made of "virtual particles", particles that are energy in one fraction of a nanosecond, and then matter in the next fraction of a nanosecond, and then energy again, and so forth. If these virtual particles move down through Earth's atmosphere, they really aren't matter for long enough in any given nanosecond to generate heat energy, as the particles in the old Le Sage models would generate. Maybe the virtual particles of spacetime foam rain down through our bodies similar to the wind through the sails of a windmill. That would push us down and give us weight, would keep our feet on the ground. 4) ? (What do *you* think that spacetime foam might be good for?) -- Happy Holidays!

Everything else is tied to certain parameters, the speed of sound to the air density at sea level, the boiling point of water to relative atmospheric pressure (i.e. altitude, for the Missoura hillbillies), current flow to resistance etc. It therefore stands to reason that something also controls "c" and that variable can change from one area of the Universe to the other. You can call it Atoms/square meter or dark energy/parsec or furlongs/fortnight, or whatever else strikes your fancy, but Space Foam might just be the proper moniker for the stuff. |

Bert, we're jus' spekalatin, because we don't even have instruments yet that can confirm the existence of spacetime foam, let alone what it might be doing. My next guess is that spacetime foam is the same as oc's sub-Planck energy domain (SPED), and it does everything we have said the SPED does. It flows. It flows into matter with the mass acting as a flowsink. It flows into each and every atom, rejuvenating, constantly replenishing the energy used by each atom. And as it does this, as the spacetime foam/SPED flows into matter, it is the actual cause of gravity. Spacetime foam/SPED flows into Earth, keeps our feet on the ground and gives us "weight". Spacetime foam/SPED flows into the Sun to contain the "massive" amount of outbursting mass of our star. Spacetime foam/SPED flows into our Solar system and keeps all the planets, asteroids, dwarf planets, KBOs, comets, etc., on definite orbital paths around the Sun, doing so while the whole Solar system is carried around the center of the galaxy at nearly 600,000 miles per hour. Spacetime foam/SPED flows into our galaxy and keeps all the mighty stars and the meek stars, too, in orbital paths around the central black hole. While the actual speed of the spacetime foam/SPED may vary and is relatively slow, like the water molecules in a full garden hose, the virtual particles push each other, so the *effect* of the spacetime foam/SPED as it flows toward and into that black hole is *INSTANT*. The spacetime foam/SPED flows into entire galaxy clusters and causes the "gravitational lensing" effect, which isn't really gravitational at all, because it is not the result of an acceleration. I forget what oc called it, but I like to call that effect "dynamic lensing", because it results from the dynamics of the flowing spacetime foam/SPED. Last but not least, the spacetime foam/SPED flows into that "gravitational anomaly" called the Great Attractor, and carries whole and entire galaxy clusters with it, including ours. Spacetime foam/SPED is actually what scientists call "dark matter", because it is the very existence and operation of the spacetime foam/SPED that results in all of the effects thus far attributed to dark matter. The spacetime foam/SPED must be under great pressure from somewhere in order for it to accomplish the above. Just like the pump that forces water through the water hose, there has to be something quite powerful out there somewhere that causes the spacetime foam/SPED to flow. And since you said that you go with the #3 Reason, that is my more detailed assessment of #3, above. -- Happy Holidays!
