“Tait’s research focuses on particle physics, cosmology, and the search for dark matter. He has proposed that dark matter may be ordinary matter confined to hidden dimensions, a theory that has received significant attention in the field.”

Dear Prof. Dr. Tim Tait:
As a result of my note to you on 1 November 2024, I’ve started following your work. There is a lot to study! With one of your lectures playing in the background with close captioning displayed, I have started to collect that data that inspires me. The URL: https://81018.com/tait/
My idiosyncratic work got a bit of a boost with the other three primary irrational numbers. We’ve relied heavily on pi (π), yet on March 3 I began grasping connections with the other three, all four proposed to be an intrinsic geometrical structure within the octahedron. The results from the JWST seem to saying, “Give the big bang a rest. Look at the numbers of exponential notation!” https://81018.com/
Long ago we lived on the “town line” between Irvine and Newport Beach. Neighbors, it would have been fun to get to meet you and hear your lectures directly! I thought you’d want to know that you have another groupie!
Warm regards,
Bruce
PS. Diversity is wonderful. Yet, we’ve got to be careful with mathematics and physics. Historically, everything appears to start simple, then build from there. Now, there is so much diversity it can be a bit overwhelming. Thanks again for all your work. -BEC

Dear Prof. Dr. Tim Tait:
Yes, it’s kind of “ordinary matter” but smaller than we can measure!
A possible next more radical step is to rethink big bang cosmology so we began with either the Planck scale. If they define an infinitesimal sphere, we’ve got a very different start and if we follow those numbers, it is quite an extraordinary ride! We’ve been playing with these ideas and concepts as a result of our acquaintance with Weinstein (1979) and more recently Wilczek (2013) and now many others.
Is it out of the question? Or, might it fly (perhaps about as far as Kitty Hawk Wright Flyer)? Thank you.
Most sincerely,
Bruce
ps. Your recent article with Tracy Slatyer was my introduction to your work. -bec
“Professor Tait’s research focuses on the smallest scales, seeking for physics beyond the Standard Model that describes all known fundamental particles. One particular direction he pursues is to understand the nature of the mysterious dark matter whose existence can be inferred from observation of the Universe, but whose fundamental nature remains unknown.”
