”It’s Humpty-Dumpty Time!”
by Bruce E. Camber, a first draft (much more to be done)

Introduction. Those who become arrogant and self-assured in the face of a basic challenge often fail to follow-up the obvious because it is not part of one of their working paradigms. Yet, these same people readily engage meta-realities and assume each has deep truth upon which to build their theories. They often reflect the spirit of Lewis Carroll’s Humpty Dumpty when he proclaimed, “When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”

Discussion. Start with Aristotle’s 1800 year mistake because it is still largely unknown among today’s scholars. Now named after Aristotle, it is not generally known that five tetrahedrons sharing a common edge, create a 7.3561+ degree gap. We speculate that within the infinitesimal domains it is the root cause of quantum fluctuations. Nobody has told us, “That’s crazy.” Nor has anybody offered any critical review for to do so would open a wider discussion about the role of geometries in our universe. There is no consensus regarding where and how these gaps manifest within spacetime. There are ideas but it’s all at the thresholds of our measuring devices.

Hypothetical particles are much more readily embraced. And among them all, the inflaton was eagerly and most-widely embraced!

The inflaton is a hypothetical particle, a meta-reality, that has never been observed. You can quickly observe Aristotle’s gap by putting five tetrahedrons together or just five octahedrons. You can see an image of those gaps right now.

A much trickier reality swirls around those quantum fluctuations. The essence of a fluctuation is bit of a guess. Part of that fluctuation is a meta-reality. For us, it is a most-simple observation of a gap.

Newton’s absolute space and time can’t be observed or validated, yet even today these absolutes are profoundly believed by scholars who follow Einstein but not his relativity theories.

And, now with our redefinition of the infinite as the three faces of pi (π), there are bridges that can be built by many different disciplines that have never found a place on the grid.

And then come Hawking and Guth with their big bang. Yes, a meta-reality. Today the theory is flying right into the face of observations coming from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). To say the least, big bang cosmology is teetering and the exponential expansion (base-2) within its core is not. And, the standard models and Lambda CDM are holding strong even with all the wild and crazy forces raging around them.

Yes, all our metaphors are being stretched; we’re all being pushed out on the edge, to the point of breaking and falling. Some theories will hold strong. Others will finally let go, getting shelved within history books of incorrect theories beginning with Aristotle’s whopper.

Yes, we are all fools, and this page in our history ain’t just for April Fools’ Day! –BEC
