I. Why Study the Universe
- Refusing to Live Only in a “Mathematical Universe”:
Modern explanations often say space curves, space expands, the vacuum is a quantum field, or particles are points. Mathematics is powerful, but it may not equal a direct, intuitive picture of reality. This work attempts an intuitive, self-consistent account of the cosmos so that forces, fields, waves, and causal chains can be understood without advanced mathematics. - Three Questions We Must Face:
The author once made grave mistakes and seeks redemption by answering three questions:
• Where are we: the truth of the universe.
• Who are we: the truth of consciousness.
• Where are we going: whether an afterlife exists.
Energy Filament Theory (EFT) answers “where we are.” The other two questions will be pursued within this lifetime.
II. Sources of Inspiration
- Double-Slit Intuition:
Particles display wave-like behavior, much like light. A natural reading is that this behavior emerges from a shared background entity, not because particles and light are the same kind of thing. - Reading Cosmic Redshift:
Ancient, distant objects are broadly redshifted. Possible explanations include:
a) All objects recede from Earth (which would place Earth at the center, contradicting common sense).
b) Space as a whole expands (mathematically consistent, but not necessarily the only underlying mechanism).
c) A medium permeates the universe whose property varies along spacetime paths, yielding a description mathematically equivalent to expansion. - The Vacuum Is Not Empty:
Multiple experiments suggest the vacuum can be “modulated.” Intuitively, the background resembles a stretchable elastic sheet. These clues point to one core idea: the universe contains an elastic background medium—the “energy sea” proposed by Energy Filament Theory. Additional support comes from a clarified definition of “field” and the analogy of a leaf riding surface waves.
III. How This Perspective Emerged
Picture First, Formalism Later:Contemporary physics typically develops views through rigorous mathematics and experimental verification. Energy Filament Theory chooses another route: start from an intuitive physical picture and a causal storyline, then test self-consistency through analogy and reasoning, and gradually align with observations. This is not an anti-math stance; it is a different vantage point that may land closer to the underlying truth.
IV. A Different Angle
- Traditional Top-Down Route:
Begin with observations and abstract them into models. This stays close to data, but sub-theories often grow around separate phenomena and remain hard to integrate. - Our Bottom-Up Route:
Begin with one unifying picture, build the overall framework first, and use concrete phenomena for small corrective steps. In this way, Energy Filament Theory gains a natural, system-level unity:
a) One underlying mechanism explains many phenomena.
b) Phenomena constrain one another and remain aligned.
c) New data requires only local adjustments inside one framework, not a fresh start.
In short: establish a unified base layer, then refine gradually—yielding a coherent, testable, and extensible explanatory system.
V. The Role of AI
- Cross-Checks with Two Leading Models:
Every claim in Energy Filament Theory undergoes rounds of debate and cross-examination with two international AI systems:
• Deep engagement with C5 to seek support or refutation.
• Verification with G4; only when both converge is a claim added to Energy Filament Theory.
Therefore, this is not off-the-cuff speculation; it is a view shaped and self-audited with the strongest available AI tools.
- A Timely Remark:
A figure the author respects, E.M., said during a G4 live event: “It might discover new physics next year. And within two years, I’d say almost certainly.” The quiet release of Energy Filament Theory v1.0 came roughly 48 hours after that comment. The timing was a coincidence—and a source of motivation.
VI. Who the Author Is
- An Ordinary Person:
Not an expert, not a professor, with no titles or network—holding a bachelor’s degree. A person who loves music, dogs, and quiet days at home; who enjoys films and games. - A Varied Work Life:
Sold phones, repaired computers, ran an internet café, built websites; went bankrupt many times and once faced a dead end. None of this defines expertise. Professionalism does not depend on one’s profession.
VII. Why Energy Filament Theory Has Music
Choice as a Form of Truth:Energy Filament Theory tries to describe the universe. But what is “truth”? For the author, it is the courage to choose. Instead of following a standard professor’s path, the author chooses a personal path: study physics because it is loved, compose music because it is loved, and sometimes combine the two. Do not surrender your choices to others’ expectations. That is the author’s sense of “truth.”
VIII. Closing and Where to Begin
Let Time Judge:On the day Energy Filament Theory is released, time will decide. It may be confirmed or falsified—that is how science should work.
