@NightSkyToday This collapse inevitably compresses everything into a singular point of infinite density, resetting the geometric clock and ignition conditions for the next Big Bang to start the cycle all over again. How about that for a late Sunday toy model?
@NightSkyToday As space rapidly compacts, the cosmic funnel reverses, driving energy densities back to absolute extremes and forcing the fine-structure constant to wind tightly backward past 1/137 and back down to 1/128.
@NightSkyToday At that ultimate outer horizon where energy density bottoms out and Alpha reaches its weakest state around 1/138 the geometric flow can invert. This triggers a global topological collapse, snapping the universe back into itself.
@NightSkyToday As Ricci flow expands a manifold too far or unevenly, it encounters instability. Once the universe reaches max dilution at the outer boundaries, the expanding Ricci soliton triggers a geometric phase transition, changing the "flow" direction from expansion to a singular collapse.
@NightSkyToday How you trace it? The fine-structure constant maps this expansion over time. It started tight and strong (1/128 at the hot Big Bang), relaxed to the current state (1/137) and will fade to an ultra-weak coupling (1/138) as it reaches the cold, outer edges of the cosmic funnel.
@NightSkyToday So… What it expands into? It expands into nothing external. According to Perelman's Ricci flow, the universe is a self-contained shape that dynamically smooths out and creates new space as it stretches. It is the creator of its own boundary, not a guest in someone else's void.
@NightSkyToday Continued: and finally, at the Expanding Boundaries: As the metric flows outward and energy densities deplete further, the coupling strength drops, shifting the value toward 1/138 at the cold, outer horizons.
@NightSkyToday Continued: This spatial stretching directly correlates with the running of the fine-structure constant, Alpha:
- At the Big Bang base: Energies were massive, and Alpha was stronger at roughly 1/128
- At Present Day line: The cosmos cooled down to our current baseline of 1/137
@NightSkyToday Continued: It scales outward as an expanding Ricci soliton—shaping its own geometry from within rather than occupying an external vacuum.
@NightSkyToday The universe isn't expanding into anything; it is creating space itself.
If we look at this through the lens of geometric analysis and Perelman's work on the Ricci flow, the universe behaves like a topological manifold smoothing out its own curvature over time.
@VoicesofWW2 That right there is a Mosin-Nagant in its original configuration, manufactured at the Tula Arms Plant during the Imperial Russian era. Unmistakable features… that’s how I know.
@NightSkyToday It’s not all too known that Einstein derived the correct gravitational tensor on this page in 1912. However, he mistakenly rejected it due to a flawed Newtonian limit calculation. This error delayed his General Relativity calculations by three years.
@PhysInHistory Looking for a mathematical proof for why the universe is 1/137 is an error… treating a dynamic, flowing, physical energy scale like a static geometric shape.The baseline is 137 happens to be the energy density of current cosmic era after the Big Bang has stretched space out.
@NightSkyToday Lene slowed light inside a medium, not a vacuum. Because the fundamental constant stayed unchanged, the fine-structure constant 1/137 remained completely unaffected by the experiment. Otherwise she would have brought the end of times!
@NightSkyToday But we can’t share with them any of our other human designed mathematical formulas and equations like on that picture and expect them to nod their heads… they use their own mathematical formulas and tools described in their own language and signs. Thus, no common language 🤷
@NightSkyToday Not correct. Mathematics is the language in which mankind tries to read the universe God created. Why? Because if you send any of these formulas to an alien civilization, they will have no any meaning to them, except for the reading of 1/137… put that in your pipe and smoke it!
@NightSkyToday To share with them what we know about 1/137, we would send a pulse representing the electron's speed, and a pulse representing the speed of light. The aliens would measure the gap between those two concepts and find that the second is roughly 137 times faster than the first.
@PhysInHistory Vacuum permittivity and permeability dictate the intrinsic electrical density and magnetic tension of space. Cosmic expansion over deep time alters these parameters. This “thinning” shifts the fundamental speed of light, driving the universe toward the 1/138 Wall phase boundary.
