In order to live your dream, you first need to understand the one driving emotion in your life.
Explore yourself and determine the emotion that really drives you!
What are you trying to experience?
Why do you want to be beautiful,
why do you want to be successful?
Why do you want to be right?
Why do you want to be smart?
Why do you want to own fancy things,
Why do you go to work,
Why do you raise children,
Why do you want to be happy?
With every action you take fueling your desires,
you are trying to achieve something.
And that is your highest goal.
Is it
Joy, Wholeness, Freedom, Friendship, Connection or Harmony?
Is it
Liberation, Truth, Infinity, Wonder, Tranquility or Serenity?
Is it
Goodness, Gratitude, Creativity, Wisdom, Brotherhood, Faith or Bliss?
Is it
Appreciation, Eternity, Reality, Courage or Compassion?
With every action you take, you are trying to achieve something.
Once you know that, you don’t need to achieve anymore…
Once you know that, you have instant access to your Highest Goal!
Once you know that, you are already living your dream!
So what is your Highest Goal?
...
You know, there is one more thing I held back so far - something that can be very powerful in
your life. Of course, different people will have different Highest Goals, but: take all positive
emotions there are, and we find out that they all are truly rooted in love.
If you feel Freedom, you feel love.
If you feel Friendship, you feel love.
If you feel Gratitude, you feel love.
If you feel Wonder, you feel love.
And so on.
So we could say, With every action you take,
you are trying to achieve Love - and this is so true! And so easy! Love is infinite, everywhere
you look. You just have to be conscious of it.
(With every action you take, you are trying to achieve Consciousness.)

Which Dimensions are Time and Gravity?
Which dimensions is Time and which dimension is Gravity?
Let’s spend the next few minutes thinking about these two questions.
In earlier episodes, we started out looking at the 1st dimension, then the 2nd, and so on, making assumptions about what comes after the 3rd dimension. This time, we will take another approach, but before we do so, here’s one thing to consider:
Do you recognize that dimensions don’t exist but in concepts?
It is not possible for 2 dimensions to exist only (or anything living in 2 dimension), because there are more dimensions we are aware of. If there were beings living in less dimensions than we human beings do, they would only perceive to live in less dimensions, but they would live in the same Space than we do.
We all live in Space.
And no matter how many dimensions might exist, Space has the capability of containing all dimensions there might be. It is infinite and contains everything that IS.
This is why we can say that Space is dimension-less. It is un-dimensional. It has no dimension.
And since we human beings very much live in Space, we too are truly un-dimension. Only the restricted conception of what IS can be categorized and described as dimension.
So within Space, we create concepts of what we describe as dimensions, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Every additional dimension multiplies all pre-vious ones by Infinity. And as a side notice, previous dimensions can not be distinguished anymore, that means, looking from 3 dimensions, it is not possible to say which dimension was the 3rd.
OK, so which dimension is Time?
Is time the 4th dimension? The answer at this point is No. First we need to understand what time is.
What we normally perceive as time is Change: that what we remember as past, see in the present and what we predict as future.
What time really is
- Motion: a result of movement through all higher dimensions and
- Creation: the fact that Motion manifests itself.
If Motion is a new thing for you, here comes an explanation.
Let’s try to imagine a 2-dimensional perception of Space which is important to be understood for the next steps.
Strange to believe, but we humans only see 2-dimensional pictures all the time!
The human brain then translates the picture into something 3-dimensional. This requires the capability of using concepts.
A concept for example is to say ‘house’ without referring to a special house, but just the concept of a house.
For us, every picture shows a house, but animals can’t use concepts, which is why each picture shows something completely different to them. This means that animals perceive Space in 2 dimensions. How does that work?
Let me take this cube and rotate it. So for us, it’s the same cube, just rotated. We just used concepts which animals are not capable of. They don’t know cubes. For them, it is a NEW form.
If a cat walks around a cube, for the cat it is a new form with every step. The old form has nothing to do with the current form.
For us, the old form is still there if we would go back, but for the cat, the old form vanished - into the past.
So, walking around a cube, the different angles represent time for the cat.
You recognize that animals live in 3 dimensions but perceive the world in 2 dimensions. Now, there is yet another method of under-standing the meaning of motion which is looking at a theoretical being living in 2 dimensions.
So, if we take a 3-dimensional cube – a room – and imagine a 2-dimensional being would live on a plane inside the room, then every object in this plane this being would only see the intersections of it.
[Examples & Movies]
We see that what appears as time for the 2-dimensional being was already there as a whole in the 3-dimensional room.
What we think of Time is not real at all!
What we perceive as time is Motion.
Motion is a movement of something that already exists as a whole through our conceivability of Space.
2D Consciousness, e.g. of a cat
Every morning, a new sun rises
3D Consciousness of a human being
Of course, it’s the same sun that rises every morning, but a new day starts
4D Consciousness
All days in a life of a human being exist at the same time.
Time is not only the 4th dimension, it is a phenomenon of ALL higher dimensions – but this is only a basic answer. This is how the answer is worded correctly:
There is no time – and there is no dimension of or for time. Time is an illusion created from our level of Consciousness.
This illusion is created by Motion and Motion is not only the 4th dimension, but it is a phenomenon of ALL higher dimensions.
OK, now that we know that time is all higher dimensions, which dimension is Gravity? This is a strange question…
As we discussed before, Gravity is caused by Space-Warp. Unfortunately, it is impossible to imagine Space-Warp except with models.
In this model we see that the sun warps space the most but there’s also Space-Warp around from Earth. Of course, Space-Warp is in all directions, that means, that Space is warped down and up and around at the same time.
Space-Warp is an Inwardness of Space. A warp into all directions - a warp into itself.
Since Mass creates Space-Warp or Space-Warp creates Mass (either or, the result is the same), without Space-Warp, there would be no Mass. So important to point out is that, without Space-Warp, Space wouldn’t have the capability of containing mass.
Space-Warp/Mass enables matter to “stick together”, e.g. Space-Warp keeps the sun together.
Without Space-Warp, matter would be scattered throughout the whole universe without ever forming stars or planets…
This leads me to say that Gravity is a spatial dimension higher than 3 dimensions. Every spot of our 3D world can be warped in infinite ways.
It can be warped not at all, it can be warped a bit, it can be warped a lot.
Here’s another example: looking at a table with stone and feather, the stone bends space – more than a feather. Swapping the objects means that the Space the objects occupy has now a different level of Space-Warp.
So again the question, now that we know that time is all higher dimensions, which dimension is Gravity?
And the answer is that it’s of absolutely of no interest which dimension is time and gravity, and which one is first. The only thing important is that both, time and gravity are both higher dimensions as 3-dimensions.
To fully understand this, remember that dimensions don’t really exist. There are no 2 dimensions and there are no 3 dimensions. There is only Space – which is dimension-less – and beings that perceive Space only to a limited extend.
And even with looking at the concept of dimensions, all higher dimensions multiply the previous ones by infinity, so it doesn’t matter in which sequence you multiply by infinity.
At this point let me add a few things about imagining higher-dimensional Space.
For this we take a imaginary 4D++ Hypercube in which past, present and future exist at the same time and scetch into it a lifetime of a human being.
While in birth, atoms come together in a newborn, after death, atoms will continue their existence, whereas the human being himself only shared a small path together on the stream of life.
So imagining higher dimensions can be done by imagining a 4D string of atoms that are whirling and swirling around in bundles, join-ing and dividing with infinite new streams all the time – moving through our 3D conception of Space.
Now going up, in even higher dimension than we are looking at right now, all different possibilities of this manfestation exists as a Whole and their motion through Space creates a manifestation of the stream of atoms.
OK, we’re slowly coming to an end here. In higher dimensions, that what appears to be time in any dimension exists as a Whole in higher dimensions. This means thatin Space Everything will exist in it always.
Now, if Everything will exist in Space always, that means that there is no Motion in Space. And if there is no Motion in Space, how can there be Motion in dimensions? And the answer to this is – as we said earlier – Creation: the fact that Motion manifests itself. This manifestation, the act of change being observed, is created by Consciousness.
Within Space, Consciousness is creating Dimensions.
The Experience of scientifically understanding the Eternal Now equals the Experience of Spiritual Oneness.

What is Reality?
There are things that words can't describe, so don't expect me to - however, I hope that my videos help you to think.
Our question is "What is Reality?" Some people might say, reality is that what I can touch or look at. Definitely, you are touching or looking at something with your sensory organs, but (as we discussed earlier already) that which realizes reality is not your brain but your consciousness.
Now, everything we perceive is subject to the limitations of our senses. Our limited visible light spectrum or the amount of images we process per second. Those limitations somehow apply to all senses, so also our smell, taste, hearing and touch.
Based on the findings of physics, we are told that matter is not at all solid, instead it is just a few atoms with a lot of empty space in between.
A physicist may come along and say: "Reality is what I can measure!" which is definitely not certain due to our 3D conception of space. Yes, we can measure matter in our 3 dimensions, but how many dimensions are we unable to see?
Our magic cube might look completely different 'in reality' and is bend in space in a way to create our perception.
In addition to that we could also talk about the illusion of time...
Well, anyway, there is one thing we can say, and that is that SOMETHING exists to create whatever we see in it.
This Something is called Existence. Existence is real.
Also, our experience of Existence (our feelings) is real.
Reality is:
Existence!
(that what we perceive as the magic cube)
The Experience of Existence!
(that what we experience as we observe Existence)
Some examples:
Let's say I'm really angry about somebody else because he didn't show up to a meeting. Later I find out that the person had an accident - which turns my anger into worries. At this point, I see that there was no reason at all to be angry, however, the experience of anger was real.
I hope you’re staying with me here. Back to us human beings looking at Existence…
Basically, looking at our senses and body, it is the same than the magic cube, it is Existence. How it looks in reality we don’t know, we only know what we experience while we’re looking at it.
At this point, since there is no separation of ‘things’ anymore, we can say that Existence is all there is, and Consciousness experiencing it.
Some people might say: "Why are you trying to take reality away from me? What's the benefit of knowing that everything you look at isn't really like you perceive it? Just look at a flower, it's beautiful exactly how I see it!"
And I say: "When you look at a beautiful flower, what really happens is that you are aware of your experience of something beautiful. It is not the beauty of the flower that is important but the trigger that made you aware of your experience. If you don't observe the flower, there will be no experience of such. You always thought that a real object creates a non-real experience inside of you.
Realize that your experience of Existence is everything you ever wanted. This experience of Existence can also be called Consciousness.
And some people might say: “It’s hard to experience beauty. On my way to work, there are hundreds of beautiful flowers, but I don’t see them. I’m stressed out thinking about a problem.”
And I say: “Realize that the experience of being stressed out is real, and you will see the beauty of this experience.”
As a side notice, within Existence
there is Motion.
(that what we perceive as time.)
or: Creation
(Creation = Change within Existence)
I think that Creation is a better description than motion for kind of the same thing...
Motion suggests that our 3-dimensional space moves through a higher dimension, and while it moves, it creates the experience we have.
Creation instead suggests, that Existence (or Oneness) creates itself without moving at all. At this point, words really fail to explain…
In the Creation of Existence, Consciousness is experiencing.
Thanks for your time, enjoy your experience.

You are the I am
There is something inside of you that never changes.
It is your real You: the I am.
This I am is independent from anything in your life.
It doesn't depend on your name.
It doesn't depend on your age.
Imagine that with the age of 16 you send a letter to yourself with the age of 60.
In both moments, the moment in which you write and send the letter, and then the moment in which you open and read the letter,
your 'I am' is the same. It is unchanged.
It doesn't depend on your job, your family or friends.
Imagine a simple mix up of newborns in the hospital. Would you be less you? Would I be less me?
It doesn't depend on your gender, color or nation,
or if you are poor or rich,
happy or sad
It doesn't depend on your Religion or beliefs,
not even on your memory.
Imagine, you would loose all your memory. Would you say: 'I'm not I anymore?
This IT, the 'I am' is the awareness of your consciousness.
In the moment you realize this never-changing core of yourself, you will experience absolute peace, freedom and love.
Once you made this experience, you will understand that all your previous feelings of peace, freedom and love were moments in
which you were close to IT - moments in which you didn't think about your name, job, age and so on.
From this point on you will be home wherever you are. Your fear of death will fade away.
You will understand that you were never made to 'be happy'; you were made to just be.
You will see that this IT is the only reality there is, because thoughts are only beliefs that don't define you.
You will realize that this It is the same 'one' in every human being since their persona doesn't define them exactly how yours
doesn't define you.
You will see that this It is the same in everything that exists: animals, plants, trees and even stones.
The only difference to us human beings is: We can become aware of our consciousness. We have the option to SEE.
You will see the falseness of religious institutions but the incredible truth of their roots.
You will see that the only thing Jesus talked about was the 'I am'.
You will see that there is no difference between Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Laotse and so on, because the only thing they spoke
about was the 'I am'.
You will love your neighbor as yourself.
You will be able to truly live by the 10 commandments, but
you will understand that they were not intended as commandments but as a mirror that should make you see.
This is what Jesus said about the greatest commandment: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and
with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
This is not a commandment. If God would command us to love our neighbors as ourselves, than he would not fulfill the commandment
himself because there's good and bad.
Instead, it is a pointer that should make us ask: "When is it that I love my neighbor as myself?" And the answer is: 'When you
know IT - your true I am." Then, love is unconditional.
You will come to see that heaven is now and not sometime later.
You will see that the Lord's Prayer is an incredible depiction of IT
(Original Aramaic)
Oh Thou, from whom the breath of life comes, who fills all realms of sound, light and vibration.
May Your light be experienced in my utmost holiest.
Your Heavenly Domain approaches.
Let Your will come true -
in the universe just as on earth.
Give us wisdom for our daily need,
detach the fetters of faults that bind us,
like we let go the guilt of others.
Let us not be lost in superficial things,
but let us be freed from that what keeps us from our true purpose.
From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act, the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age
Sealed in trust, faith and truth.
(I confirm with my entire being)
It is your real You: the I am.
This I am is independent from anything in your life.
It doesn't depend on your name.
It doesn't depend on your age.
Imagine that with the age of 16 you send a letter to yourself with the age of 60.

From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act, the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age
Sealed in trust, faith and truth.

Why does Everything exist
This video is the final sequel to 'What is Gravity?' and 'What is Space?'. Dealing with these questions brought us here, to the final question of 'Why does Everything exist?'.
By asking 'What creates what?' we already extracted a core truth out of current paradigms. Space, time, matter and energy exist, but why? This creating entity is target of our search. A search that can not be done by the mind though.
Imagine a being that sees these five fingers but not the complete hand. It also never saw a hand before and doesn't understand what a hand is. Each finger is a separate entity. Now, when the fingers pick up something, like a glass of water, this perceptually restricted being will recognize a coincidental, miraculous harmony in the fingers movements. To the being it seems as if the fingers are mysterious connected but it will never be able to prove it.
Uncovering the bigger picture removes the mystery of the connected fingers and reveals the 'reality' of the fivee fingers actually being one hand.
The same thing is happening to human beings as we identify as seperate entities. Most people recognize a strange and mysterious connectedness to others. Going deeper into this recognition will reveal that our connectedness manifests in things like Coincidence, Imagination, Dreams and Empathy. Going even deeper will reveal that there is no coincidence, only misunderstood synchronicity. Also imagination and dreams are just your way of creating your every day. At this level, empathy is not just a word anymore, it is an accepted connection from you to others.
It is only through the awakening from separation that one can remove the mystery from our human beings connectedness. By knowing that there is no separate 'me' – only consciousness.
I think that a lot of people already heard words like this but it doesn't catch their interest. If you think all this is spiritual, mystical talking, let me tell you that the full understanding of these words will remove all spirituality and mystery out of your life forever.
But how do you ‘know’ what consciousness is?
You can ‘know’ consciousness only by seeing through your illusion of self.
Here is an attempt of explaining. Take a look at that car and ask: 'What is the most important thing that makes the engine work?'
Of course there are hundreds of answers, but one is 'the most important thing is fuel'. Without fuel it wouldn't work for sure. This answer is wrong. The correct answer is 'the most important thing is the emptiness inside the tank that enables the fuel to be in it'.
Now, 'What is the most important thing that makes a human being work?' The brain? The heart? No, it is consciousness, the ability of being aware.
You need to listen to these words with more than just your mind, or you will not understand it. The mind is that which covers up consciousness in the first place. And don't ask me to provide evidence for everything we went through so far. How can something be proven to an illusion, you see? I can only ask questions that make you find your own evidence...
Where do you think is your Consiousness – your felt sense of yourself? In your head? Where the brain is, the eyes and ears?
What if your eyes were in your knees – where would be your consciousness then?
We just think our consciousness is in our head but it could be everywhere else. It doesn‘t have a ‚location‘.
Every being has some kind of consciousness depending on nervous system und sense organs. Even an ant recognizes your finger it it's put in the way. Even a flower recognizes the sun.
We human beings are limited to specific ranges of perception, for example regarding light or sound. We are just looking at the world through a small, milky window. How can we think that we ever perceive reality?
What if you could see like an eagle, smell like a dog, hear like a cat?
What if your senses and brain capacity were unlimited? Then we would perceive everything everywhere. Your consciousness wouldn‘t any longer be ‚in the head‘– it would be everywhere. There wouldn‘t be any separate ‚me‘ anymore.
No difference can be made between human beings. We all would be the same.
We already are.
Everything derives from Oneness. How are different atoms created? Why do they interact or communicate in mysterious ways?
Same questions apply to large scales – our universe. How is it created? What are possibilities? What are things that haven't manifested yet?
What Creates Everything?
Do you remember the five separate fingers that were one hand?
Do you remember human beings feeling separate although being one consciousness?
The answer is the same here. Everthing is created through Oneness. In Oneness, all mysteries and questions fall away. There is no need to talk about connectedness or separation since these are only words. It is Oneness that creates itself.
And in the Creation of Oneness,
Consciousness is watching Change. That is you.
I want you to know that there is no desire in me to convince you of something. Words can't do that.
If you are willing and interested though, there might be something in between my sentences for you find to within yourself.
At this point, if you feel like missing a small link, start again at the beginning. Feel free to refresh your understanding by going back through the journey we made so far.

What is Space?
This video is a direct sequel to 'What is Gravity?'.
There we found out that Gravity is nothing but a quality of Space Warp, that Space can be warped with or without matter and that Expansion might be a reduction of space warp. Also it is created by the same entity that creates space, time, matter and energy.
Now, to dive deeper into our question of 'What is Space?', we remember the clues that our previous episode about gravity revealed.
Is space warped by default?
Imagine looking down a long alley of trees. What do you think that space is? The straight line of your gaze? Is it possible at all to see space? Why are we so certain that space is straight? What if that which creates space is warped like this?
The same question applies to our method of measuring distances. Looking at our solar system, we measure by going the straight line, although we know that the underlying space is warped by the suns gravity.
It is a bit like corrugated sheet metal where we might not be able to see the corrugation at all...
The next important question is 'What is Expansion?'.
For that we go back to our Cosmic Horizon and ask: At what distance X is the expansion equal to the speed of light?
The expansion of the universe is defined by the Hubble Constant =74.2 km/s/Mpc. There is an uncertainty to this number, so don't pin me down on a specific value.
1 Mpc = 3.26 million light years, also the Speed of Light c =299792.5 km/s.
With that we can calculate X as 13.2 billion light years.
And as long as the speed of light doesn't change, this – our – Cosmic Horizon ‘bubble’ is constant in size!
We have to go on.
If space is warped by default, the stretching or unfolding of it would make the universe seem to expand.
If space has more than (3) dimension, it could only appear to unfold itself, but in it’s own dimension, it might not change at all.
Let's blow up our Cosmic Horizon a bit. We think that space goes straight (with occasional influence of matter that creates gravity).
That what creates space is – as discussed – warped by default. Now if this space stretches itself, our 'straight/3-dimensional' space seems to have expanded – or it seems to be more space now... … although the space inside our Cosmic Horizon stayed exactly the same.
If you would fill up a glass of water until it overflows, the amount of water in the glass doesn't increase too, it is unchanged.
At this point we learned an important detail and can go back to our 'What creates What' puzzle. We said that gravity is just a quality of space warp and now we discovered that space warp is just a quality of space. If being warped is in the nature of space, there is no need for space warp to be created by something. It's already there.
Of all the things left, it is still space that is our main interest right now. So what is it for? What is space for?
It exists.
It is empty so that things can be in it.
(The fun thing about this is that space wouldn't exist without anything in it. You can try to ‘see’ that, for example by stretching out your hand in front of your eyes and then trying to 'feel' what's in between...)
It is warped.
It expands.
It can have holes.
It is infinite. Well, Is it?
I'm truly sorry but there are more questions on our way of understanding space and this next one might make you go crazy if you don't pay attention.
What do you think is Beyond our Cosmic Horizon? Is there space?
Imagine an alien planet close to our cosmic horizon. At one point, they send out a message into the universe. This message travels to us at the speed of light, but effectively it moves only with about 50% of the speed of light since it has to fight against the universes expansion. This is a bit strange: the radius of our cosmic horizon is 13.2 billion light years but light from the outer regions requires two times that long to reach Earth.
The closer the light comes towards Earth, the less the expansion and so on. Please remember that this has nothing to do with relativity. Light still travels with the speed of light, we are only looking at the effective speed here.
As a side notice, this also means that what is in a 6.6 billion light year radius now, will be on the cosmic horizon radius by the time the alien message reached us.
In this thought model, we neglect a few minor things, for example the remaining lifetime or our sun which is much shorter than 26.4 billion light years. Anyway, we pretend that one day, the message will eventually reach Earth but as we look into the direction of the alien planet we see that it is gone... There is no way of telling what happened to it anymore. It might have been destroyed, or the aliens moved on to another solar system. We don't know. And because we don't know – and will never be able to, we can say that beyond the cosmic horizon, there are only Possibilities, that which is not being observed.
This would also apply to a Big Bang if it is outside of our horizon.
So Earth may be at the center of our universe, but
There is no center for EVERYTHING.
How can there be a center of something that isn't even observed?
Everything that is not being observed, where there is no conscious observer, exists in any possible state. Only in the moment of observation, one out of all possible states is manifested.
Possibilities means non-manifested. Non-manifested ‚things‘ do not exist, until they are observed because then they manifest.
This doesn‘t mean that everything behind our cosmic horizon is empty – or full.
It means that there is simply NOTHING, no space, or time, or matter, or energy.
This can't be understood by the mind. Maybe you remember, but the mind is just an illusion. And since we believe in this illusion, how should we believe in what's beyond?
The reason why is this so hard to understand, can be called
The Phenomenon of Separated Consciousness
which is scale confusion.
Scale Confusion is a human default setting. It is the error of not understanding the same ‘reality’ from one size scale to a different size-scale. In other words, planets expanding out of our visible universe is the same thing than hanging up the phone. The moment you hung up, the other person's life is just possibilities to you.
Or imagine watching a ship taking off from a harbor. The moment the ship is out of sight, it's merely possibilities to you. It can be totally fine, or sunk, exploded, obducted by aliens, and so on. Now if a friend of yours calls you from the other side of the globe, telling you that the ship is arriving at its destination, all the possibilities collapse and manifest in one version.
The Cosmic Horizon of us on earth might be 13.2 billion light years away, but your personal Cosmic Horizon is only as far as you can see. (or listen, taste, smell, feel)
So remember, every time you turn around, what is behind you just became possibilities.
At this point, our initial question of 'What is Space?' suddenly got somewhat secondary again.
Another, more powerful question arises, which is: 'Why Does Everything Exist?'
There we found out that Gravity is nothing but a quality of Space Warp, that Space can be warped with or without matter and that Expansion might be a reduction of space warp. Also it is created by the same entity that creates space, time, matter and energy.

At this point, our initial question of 'What is Space?' suddenly got somewhat secondary again.
Another, more powerful question arises, which is: 'Why Does Everything Exist?'
What is Gravity?
Please join me on this journey further into the thoughts about Unity.
As with every theory, you are welcome to disprove it and save me some time.
Now, where do we start looking for gravity? Isn't it everywhere?
Our journey starts on our Blue Planet. Here we feel gravity everytime. But we want to find out what is beyond. To do so, we travel away from Earth, out of our solar system into our galaxy - the Milky Way. Here, every bright dot you see represents many solar systems. The diameter of the Milky Way is about 100,000 lightyears across. We are located approximately here - shown in this circle – which is about 1,000 light years across.
Our Galaxy then is nothing but a small bright dot on this map of Super Clusters. And now, in another step further away from Earth we see that even super clusters shrink to small dots on your screen when we're looking at our local universe. This is as far we can see.
From here, Earth is really really really small, but there is one quite special thing about it: Earth is exactly at the center of the universe.
This universe is also called our 'Cosmic Horizon' - a 'bubble' as big as far we can see.
Remember, we are still asking "What is gravity?"
In this Cosmic Horizon, two things awaken our interest:
The fist is Dark Matter: undetectable but said to exist, glueing together large scale super clusters and preventing matter from drifting apart, and the second is
Dark Energy: also undetectable but said to be the driving force for the universes expansion.
At this point I'll use the so-called Cosmic Density Pyramid as basis for my further discussion. It shows the distribution of density in the universe which is explained in the book 'The View from the Center of the Universe'. According to our 'current' paradigm, matter and also dark matter create gravity. Gravity then is the reason for space warp. On the other side, Dark Energy is said to create anti-gravity, or at least something that causes the universe to expand.
This current picture is missing two vital parts. What creates time and space? And what creates matter itself?
So let's start again, this time at the origin.
Something creates matter and energy. It also creates space and time. All these, matter, energy, space and time can't be separated. They all depend on each other.
Then we come to gravity and ask: What creates it?
As quite often, it isn't a specific answer that will help us to progress, but a better question. So we ask 'What is first? Gravity or Space Warp?'
Next to the top part of the cosmic density pyramid (which represents matter) you see a 2D model of 3D bent space. Our sun in the middle of our solar system creates the most gravity which equals the most space warp.
Now, forgetting about Dark Matter for a moment and plainly looking at the effect of it on large scales, we see a similar space warp - but without matter.
At this point, why should we assume that there is something invisible and undetectable causing this space warp? A more obvious assumption just is: Space can be warped with or without matter. That means, the statement that 'mass creates gravity' is not the whole story.
If the universe is warped even without matter, then this would explain the effects for which Dark Matter was invented for – but in a much more logical way…
It explains why matter like galaxies in a galaxy clusters stay together and do not drift off.
Imagine a Large-Scale Space Warp without matter being warped like this. Our solar system (of course a lot smaller) shows similar space warp but with matter. Completing the puzzle, our solar system might be only a dent in a dent, like this.
Same way but in another scale, galaxies might be dents in a larger dent.
If this would be true, there is no need for Dark Matter anymore.
Let's go back to the Density Pyramid, we didn't look at the bottom part of the pyramid yet. Dark Energy. The effect we're trying to explain with Dark Energy is expansion. Following our argumentation, the only thing required for expansion is a reduction of space warp.
This is like a blanket with a lot of wrinkles in it that you are straightening out.
We assume: Expansion might be a reduction of space warp.
Back to our puzzle so we can complete the remainders. Space can be warped with or without matter. So matter doesn't create gravity but something else does.
Also with this new understanding, it is much more logical that space warp is the resulting force and gravity is just a quality of it.
In the same way, the characteristics of dark energy (expansion) is just another quality of space warp.
At this point, the question of 'What is Gravity?' is not fully answered but got somewhat secondary.
Another, more powerful question arises - looking at the strong connection right here - which is: 'What is Space?'
As with every theory, you are welcome to disprove it and save me some time.
Now, where do we start looking for gravity? Isn't it everywhere?
Our journey starts on our Blue Planet. Here we feel gravity everytime. But we want to find out what is beyond.
