So it might be a skybox after all…

Odd that the local gravity is stronger than the rest of the cosmos.

Makes me think about the fringe theory I’ve posted about before that information might have mass.

    Wow. So are you arguing that we need a gravitational theory that explains interactions at quantum scales and the quantum theory is likely mostly bunk?

      No, in fact as long as it’s impossible to measure the gravitational effects from quanta (which is currently the case) there doesn’t seem to be an actual conflict. The theories around conflicts all entertain quantum behaviors at objects larger than what’s been observed to date.

      Quantum theory isn’t ‘bunk’ - it’s experimentally proven.

      But I do think it’s a side effect of simulation and that the macro continuous behavior of a theory like general relativity is the foundational behavior being modeled. It just can’t be simulated that way with free agents, hence the conversion to quanta at the point of interaction.

        Oh hmm. I’m not versed enough to understand this conversation. I did preorder the book that the author wrote, maybe that’ll help
