Confessions of a Deterministic Universe: Why Quantum “Dice” Don’t Exist The Geometric Thaw (T-SVT) takes a highly disruptive, unapologetic stance on the “fundamental fact” of quantum randomness. In short: T-SVT completely rejects true randomness. Standard Quantum Mechanics (the Copenhagen Interpretation) essentially threw its hands up in the 1920s. When physicists couldn’t predict exactly where an […]
Unraveling the Weak Force: Radioactive Decay as Acoustic Instability Of the four fundamental forces in standard physics, the Weak Interaction is arguably the most abstract. It is the force responsible for radioactive decay—the process by which a neutron spontaneously transforms into a proton, spitting out an electron and an antineutrino. To explain this, the Standard […]
Rescuing QCD: The Fluid Mechanics of the Strong Nuclear Force In standard physics, the Strong Nuclear Force is perhaps the ultimate example of substituting pure mathematics for a mechanical explanation. Positively charged protons should violently repel each other due to electromagnetism. To explain why atomic nuclei don’t instantly fly apart, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) was developed. […]
Popping the Inflation Bubble: The Fluid Dynamics of the Big Bang For decades, standard cosmology has relied on a miraculous event to explain the origins of our universe: Cosmic Inflation. The story goes that a fraction of a second after the Big Bang, the universe expanded exponentially, stretching faster than the speed of light. This […]
Rescuing QED: Fluid Dynamics vs. Feynman’s Ghosts Rescuing QED: Fluid Dynamics vs. Feynman’s Ghosts By Edward Garstin | The Geometric Thaw Richard Feynman was arguably the greatest intuitive physicist of the 20th century. His development of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) gave humanity the most precisely tested mathematical model in history. It is the crown jewel of […]
The Rosetta Stone of Magnetism In standard physics, electricity and magnetism are treated as two sides of the same coin, but the mechanical reason for this is hidden behind relativistic math. Under the Geometric Thaw (Thermodynamic Superfluid Vacuum Theory, or T-SVT), electromagnetism becomes incredibly tactile. If an electric charge is a static fluid pressure gradient, […]
Solving the Hierarchy Problem Acoustics vs. Granularity The 17 “missing” orders of magnitude between the Higgs boson and the Planck scale aren’t missing at all. They represent the unavoidable thermodynamic gap between the discrete “atoms” of spacetime and the macroscopic sound waves traveling through them. The Mainstream Trap: Fine-Tuning the Void The Hierarchy Problem is […]
