Space Lattice Theory

ABSTRACT: Space Lattice Theory is a theoretical study of the fundamental structure of the universe. The study asks what the structure of space might be like if, instead of being mostly an empty void, space is a densely packed, crystal-like Lattice. In this Lattice, the existence and interaction of what we call matter is due to movable defects or dislocations in the Lattice similar to those observed in metals and semiconductors. The study found that a dislocation model could produce a comprehensive set of simple, visualizable explanations for most of the concepts of physics, including many that are currently highly speculative. It suggests conventional physics explanations for matter, time, cause and effect, energy, and how energy converts to matter. It suggests structures for gravity, electric, and magnetic fields, how they can be physical realities, and how they could function. It suggests classical foundations for relativistic observations. Space Lattice Theory supports a “big bang”-like beginning for a 3-D “visible” universe, suggesting how it could easily emerge from what appears to be the nothingness of space, but without having to change any classical laws of physics. Solutions to puzzles like the particle-wave nature of photons are suggested. Problems with current standard model theories for subatomic particles, cosmology and Special Relativity are discussed and partial solutions suggested. New models supporting the suggestions are proposed. Most significantly, Space Lattice Theory suggests a comprehensive model for the Grand Unification of all forces and matter in the universe.
