h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Why is gravity is a force rather than just a distortion, maybe because space-time describes space-aging. Maybe from the time of inception of a particle like, four dimensional oscillation, at a location within space-time, its rate of aging amplitude decays as it expands into space. It would expand and decay back to the nominal space-age, unless it encounters reinforcing resonant reflections returning from the nearest other age oscillations. These returning resonant age reflections reinforce the original oscillation in the direction of the nearby age mirror, our age oscillation would tend to die-out in the other directions that have as yet no reflection.

Maybe an object`s age-shape varies with proximity to other objects, gravity defining the modulation-envelope, shape or curvature applied to the amplitude of an objects age-oscillations? Density compares mass to volume, maybe if mass is proportional to age-oscillation amplitude, density also compares age-oscillation amplitude to volume?

Maybe a lepton`s age-shape continually changes as other nearby age-waves change their relative positions, although being confined within an atom may limit the number of possible age-shapes it can transform into.

Maybe, were a particle pair to suddenly appear out of nothing, then to keep the local nothing`s age constant, requires one of the particles to increase it rate of aging as the other reduces its rate of aging? Since a singularity is composed from similar phase oscillating matter, that ages very slowly, will it eventually stop aging slowly and start aging quickly again, following a repeating cycle?

Oops, maybe the amplitude of a singularities age-shape causes its time dilation, not its frequency. Could singularities emit & receive time, as age-oscillations onto and away from their event horizons? Maybe a WIMP is a very small singularity but shifted in phase?

Are time fields curl`y ,do time vectors have properties of curl or divergence, see: "mathsworld,wolfram.com/curl, /divergence"?

Curl compares how a force vector changes with small relocations to its positional component directions(x, y, z), N/m, its units are similar to surface tension`s. Divergence compares changes in density for small changes in time, but what if time has directional components and age oscillations?.

Age oscillation is when passing time possibly speeds up and then slows down, not becoming older and younger, although it might.

Divergence possibly having similar units to mass flow rate per meter cubed? If mass is proportional to age oscillation amplitude, then divergence maybe comparing age amplitude to age increase in the direction of its flow through a volume of space?

If curl units are in Newtons per meter,then possibly they indicate that age oscillation amplitude at one location is being compared with age oscillation amplitude at a slightly different position?

Possibly curl could be the difference in pressure between nearby infinitesimal volume elements, pascal per meter, while divergence being the difference in pressure over time within the same infinitesimal volume element, pascals per second? Pressure being applied to the surface of the infinitesimal volume element, Newtons per area. Maybe the amplitude of the time age oscillations could be indirectly determined by the number of Newtons per area?

Maybe an object orbiting another in a circular orbit, would cause very little gravitational divergence, if any, while a non-circular orbit causes diverging field values? Does gravitational curl change as the orbiting object repeatedly passes the point being observed?

If one or both objects were spinning, maybe it would show up as gravitational divergence, due to the roughness of their surfaces or density, unless they were perfectly smooth, in which case the gravity field is spinning but its spin component maybe undetectable ?

Maybe if gravity is a way of comparing age oscillations and a spinning object puts spin into the gravity field, then maybe time needs spin components?

Maybe a turning object`s age oscillations resonate more with other objects that turn in a similar way, spin gravity? If fields compare age oscillation pressure within space-time, maybe we observe them as physical units like mass, momentum and energy? Which came first, information or time, maybe age oscillation wave crests are like information propagating out into the past?

Tidal forces are possibly a form of resonant age oscillation, changing lumps and bumps in the age oscillation amplitude causing friction and torque between the passing objects, torque between them, changes their relative rotation speeds up or down, in opposing directions?

Quantum sock-elastic-gravity, one giant leap for sock kind!

In the book," Einstein`s Heroes, imagining the world through the language of mathematics ", by Robyn Arianrhod, page 251, points out that maxwell presented the field concept only as a mathematical construct, with no explanation as to how nature does it. Maybe nature uses age-oscillation (one small step for sock theory, its just a stitch in time)!

If age-oscillation amplitude is proportional to mass, would the speculative Higgs boson fracture space-time`s field? Possibly smaller aging units allowing for a higher light speed than larger units? Maybe the size of aging units with the highest number probability, set the accepted value for light speed "c"? If the Higgs boson is real my age-oscillation sock theory may have holes?

Possibly if Higgs boson particles were discovered, then the problem of faster than light travel may have a solution involving somehow enveloping a spacecraft within a cloud of smaller Higgs bosons than is found naturally in open space?
