This discussion is about the TV program "The Dark Side of the Universe" (Australian Broadcasting Corporation - 25/4/2023, 9 pm) https://iview.abc.net.au/show/dark-side-of-the-universe/video/SC2204H001S00

“The Dark Side of the Universe” tells us how mysterious the universe actually is. Attempting to resolve the mysteries by looking for new particles – as in Stawell, Victoria or in northern Italy – seems unlikely to be successful. This is because those particles are part of the mere 5% of the universe which the program says is observable to us. That means searching for WIMPs or whatever might only give us a 5% chance of success. A 95% chance of success sounds better to me. This could be achieved with a paradigm-shifting approach in which we abandon the classically mechanistic reductionism, randomness and chance which has served science so well (like the song “Turn, Turn, Turn” points out, there’s a time for everything). We could use a quantum mechanical approach that is wholistic ie a new quantum mechanics that’s related to Chaos theory in which hidden order is contained in apparent disorder. The quantum world would then be, in reality, one of exactness and precision. Combined with General Relativity to complete the wholistic approach, this Quantum Gravity would use ideas like the recent discipline of Information Physics, MIT cosmologist Max Tegmark’s MUH (Mathematical Universe Hypothesis), a variation of redshift I call readshift (which explains the understandable error of an accelerating cosmic expansion), the Riemann hypothesis, Wick rotation, quaternions, and vector-tensor-scalar geometry. The attached article – short title: Riemann Hypothesis and Space-time - is a suggested approach to discovering the nature of the Dark Side.
