Is the cosmos infinite or discrete?

Is the cosmos infinite or discrete? Currently, physics cannot decide this question. Establishing a solution to this question has ramifications for our understanding of the cosmos, theoretical physics, pure mathematics, and even programming. 

The answer is related to dimensionality. In mathematics, the number of dimensions reflects the number of independent characteristics you can adjust. In quantum mechanics, every possible position of the electron defines a different state space, but holographic spaces, such as black holes, have a limited description.

Is the cosmos infinite or discrete? Separating a compact space from the universe by an information blocking horizon gives rise to a wave function, i.e., the particles. Compact dimensions define the wave function's discrete frequencies. Insulation of the wave function frees the particle from gravity, which permits entanglement. The waves can form fluid-like behavior, such as interference and entanglement. For example, interference occurs as ripples combine on the surface of a pond.

The universe is in constant change. Interaction switches the rates of oscillations of the compact dimensions, but it also changes the volume of space (Figure 1). The universe acts like a giant clock, with the compact dimensions forming its small hand. Gravity is the big hand, which indicates our distance from the poles (white and black holes); we are located at about halfway between the poles (Figure 2). The answer to the question in the title is both discrete and infinite! When viewed within gravity regions, the universe is discrete, but it expands into infinity within white holes (the cosmic voids). 

Figure 2. Compact dimensions are separated from the space top; interaction changes the volume of space around entangled particles. Interaction changes the shape of space and forms the smooth topology of gravity. 

Figure 2. The horizontal lines indicate the compact dimensions. Energy levels are increasing, but frequencies are decreasing from the top toward the bottom. Interaction changes the gravity (S shape) between the poles of the universe (black holes and white holes).

Why do we need a new physical world view

Fresco of young woman

Our world is defined by technological progress and fast-paced social change, increasing our life's complexity. The scientific achievements of the twentieth century have been spectacular in technology, physics, and medicine and led to the sense that we can master and understand nature. The increasing amount of detail and the pace of change necessitated greater scientific specialization and made formal education increasingly important. 

Nevertheless, existing theories in physics fail to explain a long list of unsolved problems. The arrow of time, the cosmological constant, the interpretation of quantum mechanics and unification with general relativity, the nature of gravity, dark energy and dark matter, the microwave background horizon problem, and the big bang, Mach’s principle, physical information or the theory of everything remains unsolved. The unintuitive nature of some material strains education, making it difficult to attract a new cadre of bright and original thinkers into research. 

Reconsidering some fundamental questions in physics, such as time, gravity, or entropy, might lead to a new physical worldview. Such a hypothesis is the subject of my book, 'The Science of Consciousness.' Investigating entropic changes based on the energy/information exchange during interaction takes physics back to its basic understanding. Still, it is the only to achieve an encompassing and coherent, sorely needed clear worldview. 

Such insight might instigate a giant leap, turning quantum mechanics more intuitive. It might explain the origin of mass, show the operational principle of gravity, throw light on black holes, and space's structure. Demystifying physics would boost morale, inspire ideas, and increase public engagement and enthusiasm for scientific and technological research funding. It would attract a new generation of young people into academic research. This new physical worldview, which includes consciousness, can inspire innovative methods to cure neural and mental diseases. The mind is an inextricable part of the universe. Being part of something bigger should give us a sense of ownership, belonging, and responsibility: Atman and Brahman are one.
