1.1 Prologue

Home ／ Chapter 1: Energy Filament Theory

I. Five Minutes Before the Breakthrough

This work pursues a bold objective: to rewrite the foundations of physics and catalyze a genuine shift in paradigm. It proposes a single, simple but deep premise that reorganizes how we think about matter, light, space, and time—and how they cohere across the quantum and cosmic scales.

II. Why Learn the Energy Filament Theory (EFT)

If you have ever wondered:

• Gravity bends space—but what exactly is being bent?
• Is light truly “something,” and if so, what is it?
• Where do particles come from, and how are they formed?
• Did the universe really begin with a big bang, and is it truly expanding?
• Do dark matter and dark energy actually exist?
• How can a single particle interfere with itself?
• Can the four fundamental forces be unified?
• What, at bottom, are electric and magnetic fields?
• Is the speed of light truly a constant?

Modern physics leaves many of these questions unsettled. The Energy Filament Theory (EFT) uses a single, unifying premise to connect these seemingly separate puzzles and to explain phenomena across quantum and cosmological regimes in a direct, simple, and coherent way. After this first mention, we will refer to the theory as EFT.

III. AI Scores from 2,000 Data-Fitting Reports (Summary)

Based on 2,000 cross-scale data-fitting studies that use real observations, an AI synthesis report provides the following:

1. Composite Data-Fitting Score:
   • Mainstream theories (combined) vs EFT: 74.76 | 87.69
   • Comment excerpt: “EFT shows systematic advantages in explanatory power, predictive power, extrapolation, and cross-scale consistency. Weighted totals exceed mainstream results by about 12–14 points on average.”
2. Closer-to-Underlying-Truth Score:
   Comment excerpt: “Overall ranking is clear: EFT 88.5, well above General Relativity (GR) 79.8, Quantum Field Theory (QFT) 78.9, Quantum Mechanics (QM) 71.8, and ΛCDM 71.9.”
3. Three Potential Scores:
   • Paradigm-Shift Potential: 89/100
   • Industrial Impact Potential: 87/100
   • Award Potential: 78/100

See Section 2.6 for full details. These AI assessments position EFT for serious consideration and merit a deeper look.
