“Are spacetime abstract concepts devoid of physicality, unable to impact the speed of a photon, despite contrary assertions?”

- that looks as rather vague question, so here can be some rational notes only to introduction. First of all note, that telling about really fundamental phenomena/notions “Space/space”, “Tome/time”, “Matter”, it is necessary before to understand – what they are. What is impossible in mainstream physics, since in the mainstream all really fundamental phenomena/notions [first of all, besides the above, “Consciousness”, “Energy”, “Information”] are fundamentally completely transcendent/uncertain/irrational, and so in every case when the mainstream addresses to any really fundamental problem, then result completely logically inevitably is transcendent/mystic something.

The phenomena/notions above can be, and are, really rigorously scientifically defined only in framework of the Shevchenko-Tokarevsky’s 2007 “The Information as Absolute” conception, recent version of the basic paper see

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/363645560_The_Information_as_Absolute_-_2022_ed

- and more concretely at application to Matter in the Shevchenko-Tokarevsky’s Planck scale informational physical model, 3 main papers are

More, including that though “spacetime” in physics is an “abstract concept” – since physics is a purely non-material “abstract” product of fundamentally non-material human’s consciousness, Matter’s “space”, “time” – and so “spacetime” - really absolutely objectively exist. Everything, including the informational system “Matter”, absolutely for sure can exist and change only in some spaces, that can have arbitrary number and nomenclature of dimensions; and change also in the absolutely objectively existent time dimension.

So [why? – see the links above] Matter’s spacetime is fundamentally absolute, fundamentally flat, fundamentally continuous, and fundamentally “Cartesian”, (at least) [4+4+1]4D spacetime with metrics (at least) (cτ,X,Y,Z, g,w,e,s,ct), which is as it is because of that in the spacetime fundamentally “automatically” at Matter’s creation the Matter’s ultimate base – the (at least) [4+4+1]4D dense lattice of primary elementary logical structures – (at least) [4+4+1]4D binary reversible fundamental logical elements [FLE], FLE “size” and “FLE binary flip time” are Planck length, lP, and Planck time, tP, c= lP/tP. was placed, exists and changes.

At that everything in Matter, i.e. particles and fundamental Nature forces’ mediators, further – atoms, stars, etc., is/are only specific disturbances in the lattice that are created if some the lattice’s FLE is impacted.

More see the links above, here a few comments to introduction.

“…Matter is a concentrated form of energy connected to mass, requiring three-dimensional space. Energy can exist across various dimensions, even within a dimensionless space. …..”

- that is a fundamentally incorrect claim. Matter is a system of disturbances in the FLE lattice, which are specific informational structures, and, though some portions the absolutely fundamental [“Logos” set’s element, “Quantity”; more see any link above] “Quantity” “Energy” are fundamentally necessary to create any disturbance, say, a particle, Matter is as it is since consists of a numberof different specific disturbances – which, including, in some cases can be created by the same energy portions – “Energy is rather “dull” phenomenon”, the difference happens in accordance with Matter’s design, which determines energy action.

So energy doesn’t exist as some singled independent physical object/event/effect/process, it is only used at creation of concrete objects and at interactions, what happens in Matter not in “3D space”, but in the space with metrics (at least) (cτ,X,Y,Z, g,w,e,s), and in time ct-dimension above; while the wording “a dimensionless space” is fundamentally senseless at all.

The post is already long, so now – more see the links, to read SS posts in https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_is_the_correct_definition_of_a_quantum_particle/2it is useful as well, and

Dear Mr. Sergey Shevchenko ,

Thank you for your detailed response regarding fundamental concepts like space, time, energy, and matter. Your proposed framework, "The Information as Absolute," presents a unique perspective that diverges significantly from the mainstream understanding in physics.

Your viewpoint challenges established notions by suggesting that matter isn't merely a concentrated form of energy in three-dimensional space but instead comprises disturbances within a lattice of primary elementary logical structures. You argue that energy isn't an independent entity but a tool utilized in creating specific disturbances within a defined metric space and time dimensions.

However, I must acknowledge that your conceptualization introduces complex ideas that might require a deeper understanding and extensive validation to align with empirical evidence and established scientific theories.

As a scientist interested in exploring different perspectives, I find your proposals intriguing and worth further investigation. Nevertheless, the scientific community often evaluates new frameworks based on empirical evidence, consistency with established theories, predictive power, and acceptance through peer review.

I would be interested to know how your proposed framework aligns with empirical data and experimental observations, as well as how it addresses known phenomena explained by prevailing theories like general relativity and quantum mechanics.

Thank you for sharing your ideas, and I look forward to further discussions on these fascinating concepts.

Best regards,

Dear Mr. Sergey Shevchenko ,

The fundamental concept regarding speed at 'c' within a gravitationally bound system can be clarified in the following manner:

The following explanations provided align with observed phenomena and empirical evidence in physics, irrespective of contradictory theories. These explanations correspond to well-established principles and observations within the realm of modern physics, including the behaviour of matter, energy, gravitational interactions, and the characteristics of particles such as photons and subatomic particles. The descriptions provided are in accordance with widely accepted scientific understanding and observations, regardless of any conflicting or alternative theories that may exist.

Matter, often referred to as cold matter, is essentially a concentrated form of energy.

Matter's existence is associated with mass and necessitates three-dimensional space.

Energy, however, can exist across various dimensions, even within a 0-dimensional space.

Gravity interacts with both matter and energy.

The term 'mass' fundamentally denotes the presence of an atomic nucleus comprised of neutrons and protons, the heaviest subatomic particles within an atom.

Light's energy is carried by photons, which possess no rest mass.

Electrons within atoms, in contrast, have mass.

an electron absorbs a photon, its mass doesn't increase but its energy does.

A photon constitutes the smallest unit of energy within electromagnetic waves, including light waves.

Observations reveal that photons predominantly originate from massive bodies such as stars.

Given their masslessness, the gravitational interaction between photons and mass is the weakest.

Subatomic particles like neutrons and protons exhibit much stronger gravitational interaction compared to photons within massive gravity.

As a result of the least gravitational interaction and energy involvement, a photon requires the smallest amount of energy to achieve speed, enabling it to move at the highest possible speed with nearly zero energy expenditure, relying solely on the energy it carries.

Conversely, an atom, considerably heavier than a massless photon, demands an extraordinary amount of energy, even to escape a gravitational well, far below the speed of light.

For an atom to move, it necessitates an external energy source since it cannot inherently possess the required pure energy to reach the speed of light.

Contrarily, a massless photon effortlessly carries its own energy from the instant of its emission, moving at the speed of light without requiring acceleration, unlike an atom.

An atom lacks the inherent advantages of a photon; achieving the speed of light demands significant external energy, unlike a non-massive photon.

Hence, a massive particle cannot sustain the speed of light without substantial external energy support, unlike a non-massive photon.

An atom can only exhibit sufficient energy through certain nuclear reactions; otherwise, it cannot achieve this level of energy.

Space and time are abstract concepts devoid of physicality, incapable of influencing the speed of a photon, regardless of assertions suggesting otherwise.

Given adequate anti-gravitational energy, an entire galaxy could be propelled to the speed of light as well.

Best wishes,

Soumendra Nath Thakur.
