Planck’s length is the scale in which the classical ideas of gravity and space-time cease to be valid and where uncertainty dictates the rules. This is the size of the information bits on the black holes event horizon and there is a good reason to assume that it is the size of the basic building blocks of the fabric of space. This article assumes three leading assumptions: 1. the quantization of space into a lattice (grid) of unit cells, which I will refer to as 3D voxels of space (voxels) in the size of Planck’s length in each dimension. 2. The quantization of time into Planck’s time sequences (pulses). 3. Light travels one space voxel for each time pulse. Based on these three assumptions, this article will show that the Newton gravitational constant (G) increases as the universe expands. This increase in the gravitational constant can illuminate some light on the mysterious dark matter.

A gravitational-wave standard siren measurement of the Hubble constantSérgio Sacani
On 17 August 2017, the Advanced LIGO1
and Virgo2
detectors
observed the gravitational-wave event GW170817—a strong signal
from the merger of a binary neutron-star system3
. Less than two
seconds after the merger, a γ-ray burst (GRB 170817A) was detected
within a region of the sky consistent with the LIGO–Virgo-derived
location of the gravitational-wave source4–6. This sky region was
subsequently observed by optical astronomy facilities7
, resulting
in the identification8–13 of an optical transient signal within
about ten arcseconds of the galaxy NGC 4993. This detection of
GW170817 in both gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves
represents the first ‘multi-messenger’ astronomical observation.
Such observations enable GW170817 to be used as a ‘standard
siren’14–18 (meaning that the absolute distance to the source can be
determined directly from the gravitational-wave measurements)
to measure the Hubble constant. This quantity represents the local
expansion rate of the Universe, sets the overall scale of the Universe
and is of fundamental importance to cosmology. Here we report a
measurement of the Hubble constant that combines the distance
to the source inferred purely from the gravitational-wave signal
with the recession velocity inferred from measurements of the
redshift using the electromagnetic data. In contrast to previous
measurements, ours does not require the use of a cosmic ‘distance
ladder’19: the gravitational-wave analysis can be used to estimate
the luminosity distance out to cosmological scales directly, without
the use of intermediate astronomical distance measurements. We
determine the Hubble constant to be about 70 kilometres per
second per megaparsec. This value is consistent with existing
measurements20,21, while being completely independent of them.
Additional standard siren measurements from future gravitationalwave
sources will enable the Hubble constant to be constrained to
high precision.
And the speed at which they commute to and from this Tablet turned out to be the known speed of light: [Quran 32.5] (Allah) Rules the cosmic affair from the heavens to the Earth. Then this affair travels to Him a distance in one day, at a measure of one thousand years of what you count.

Extra dimensions and the arrow of time.pdfEran Sinbar
“The increase of disorder or entropy is what distinguishes the past from the future, giving a direction to time “– Stephen Hawking, A brief history of time. This statement arises two questions: Time is a universal concept, but order and disorder are both a subjective concept of our human brain. How can a subjective concept like disorder distinguish a universal concept like time? Why was the past in a lower entropy compared to the future?
This paper suggests that by quantizing space time and by adding an extra non local three dimensional (3D) grid like dimensions (grid dimension) these two questions can be approached.

Light is an electromagnetic wave, consisting of a magnetic field and an electric field oscillating perpendicular to each other in a plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the light wave. In a vacuum, light travels in a straight line at the speed of light noted c.
speed of light in a vacuum
Exact value
The exact value of the speed of light was fixed in 1983 by the Bureau of Weights and Measures at c = 299 792 458 m/s or c = 2.99792458 x 10 8 m/s, using the units of the international system. It can also be expressed in kilometers per hour by multiplying the value in m/s by 3.6: c = 1,079,252,848.8 km/h or c = 1.0792528488 x 10 9 km/h. This value, which represents a fundamental constant of physics, can be used for calculations requiring great precision. It is also used to define the meter in the international system of units: one meter corresponds to the length traveled in a vacuum by light for a duration of 1/299,792,458 seconds.
A brief historical reminder of the speed of light
The first conception concerning light suppose that it can be either present in a space, or absent: the light would therefore be instantaneous. The Arab scholar Alhazen (965-1039) was interested in optics and wrote reference treatises. He is the first to have the intuition that the appearance of light is not instantaneous, that it has a speed of propagation, but he cannot prove it.
Galileo (1564-1039) tries to measure the propagation time of light between two hills using two people a few kilometers apart and equipped with clocks. He fails to measure the speed of light (which, in the context of this experiment, takes 10 -5 seconds to travel the previously defined distance, not measurable for the time) and deduces from the failure of this experiment that the speed of propagation of light is very high.
Cassini (1625-1712) speculated that the irregularity in the movement of Io, a satellite of Jupiter, could come from a delay in the arrival of light from the satellite, "such that it takes 10 or 11 minutes for it travels a distance equal to the radius of the Earth's orbit". Römer (1644-1710) explains the discrepancy between the eclipses of Io (a satellite of Jupiter) and Cassini's predictions by assuming that light has a speed of propagation. It is the first to give an order of magnitude of the speed of light.
Bradley (1693-1762) confirms Römer's hypothesis and proposes a first estimate of the speed of light at approximately 10188 times that of the rotation of the Earth around the Sun, the latter being however poorly known. His discovery is linked to the aberration of light,

Black hole entropy leads to the non-local grid dimensions theory Eran Sinbar
Based on Prof. Bekenstein and Prof. Hawking, the black hole maximal entropy , the maximum amount of information that a black hole can absorb, beyond its event horizon is proportional to the area of its event horizon divided by quantized area units, in the scale of Planck area (the square of Planck length).[1]
This quantization in entropy and information in the quantized units of Planck area leads us to the assumption that space is not “smooth” but rather divided into quantized units (“space cells”). Although the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy equation describes a specific case regarding the quantization of the 2D event horizon, this idea can be generalized to the standard 3 dimension (3D) flat space, outside and far away from the black hole’s event horizon. In this general case we assume that these quantized units of space are 3D quantized space “cells” in the scale of Planck length in each of its 3 dimensions.
If this is truly the case and the universe fabric of space is quantized to local 3D space cells in the magnitude size of Planck length scale in each dimension, than we assume that there must be extra non-local space dimensions situated in the non-local bordering’s of these 3D space cells since there must be something dividing space into these quantized space cells.
Our assumption is that these bordering’s are extra non local dimensions which we named as the “GRID” (or grid) extra dimensions, since they look like a non-local 3D grid bordering of the local 3D space cells. These non-local grid dimensions are responsible for all unexplained non-local phenomena’s like the well-known non-local entanglement or in the phrase of Albert Einstein “spooky action at a distance” [2].So by proving that space-time is quantized we prove the existence of the non-local grid dimension that divides space-time to these quantized 3D Planck scale cells.

Quantization of photonic energy and photonic wave lengthEran Sinbar
Assuming that space is quantized by Planck-length, we show that Mass and Velocity of elementary particles as well as photonic energy must be also quantized. Furthermore, since the photonic energy is quantized it is a type of discrete function and might be measured from observations of energetic cosmological photonic radiations or even with the Large Hadron Collider in CERN (LHC). Such successful measurements can prove that space is quantized.
Once assuming that space-time is quantized it obviously raises the question what is there between the Planck-length quanta pieces of space. We suggest a new theory claiming that between the quantum cells there are extra non local grid like dimensions that divide space and connect all the pieces together. These non-local new dimensions might explain today's Quantum Theory's non-local phenomena’s like Schrodinger’s probability wave instant collapse all over space, entanglement, etc.
Gravity and the entropy equation of a black hole .pdfEran Sinbar
Based on Prof. Bekenstein and Prof. Hawking, the black hole maximal entropy, the maximum amount of information that a black hole can conceal, beyond its event horizon, is proportional to the area of its event horizon surface divided by quantized area units, in the scale of Planck area (the square of Planck length). This is a surprising result since it limits the amount of information bits that are concealed in a volume of space to the amount of Planck area units that can fit into its surrounding surface area and not into its volume. This lead to the holographic principle idea by reducing our standard three dimensional (3D) space into a two dimensional space (2D). This paper will suggest a new approach in which we add extra dimensions and quantize our standard three dimensional space in order to explain this surprising result of the Hawking Bekenstein formula. From this new approach gravitational time dilation emerges leading towards the Einstein field equations.
Mathematical derivation of a quantized space-time.pdfEran Sinbar
Based on Prof. Bekenstein and Prof. Hawking, the black hole maximal entropy, the maximum amount of information that a black hole can conceal, beyond its event horizon, is proportional to the area of its event horizon surface divided by quantized area units, in the scale of Planck area (the square of Planck length). This is a surprising result since it limits the amount of information bits in a volume of space to the amount of Planck area units that can fit into its surrounding surface area. Taking this information limit to the event horizon of a sphere in the size of Planck length in each of its three dimensions, will open up a new approach to our space - time structure. Prof Bekenstein published 50 years ago his paper about " Black holes and entropy" .This paper proves mathematically , based on Prof. Bekenstein's formula that space-time must be quantized and this leads to the the discovery of an extra grid shaped dimension between the quantized units of space-time. This is a break through towards the ultimate connection between gravity and quantum mechanics in these days when physics is so blurry and confusing.

The origins of super massive black holes.pdfEran Sinbar
Based on Bekenstein-Hawking formula, the black hole maximal entropy , the maximum amount of information bits that a black hole can conceal, beyond its event horizon, is proportional to the area of its event horizon surface divided by quantized area units, in the scale of Planck area (the square of Planck length). Since any sphere is limited to the amount of information bits it can contain within its volume of space, up to the limit of the information within a black hole with an event horizon at the radius of this sphere, the Bekenstein-Hawking formula is the upper limit for information contained within any sphere (or volume) of space. This is a surprising result since it limits the amount of information bits that are concealed in a volume of space to the amount of Planck area units that can fit onto its surrounding surface area. This can lead to the idea that the fabric of spacetime is a fabric of entangled information units at the size of Planck length (for each information unit). Due to entanglement, the information in a volume of space is entangled to the information on its surrounding sphere and is limited by the surrounding sphere area divided by Planck area, just as Bekenstein-Hawking calculated for the black hole entropy. The best candidate to carry the entangled information quantum bits in empty space, will be the virtual particles quantum fluctuations in the vacuum, that pop in and out of existence due to The Heisenberg uncertainty principle . Some of these virtual particles that pop in and out of existence in empty space are non-correlated random noise fluctuations that cancel each other, and some are correlated information fluctuations. The correlated information fluctuations on the surface of the sphere represent information regarding the energy and mass within the volume of this sphere. As the information carrying, correlated virtual particle pairs pop in and out of existence, they define the pulse of time.
String theory and the grid dimension.pdfEran Sinbar
In string theory energy comes in the form of Planck length sized strings vibrating at different frequencies. The questions that arise from this model are: why is the Planck length so unique? How can this model explain the non-locality of quantum mechanics? This paper will show another approach to string theory where the strings are made from quantized local spacetime units and an extra non-local grid like dimension (the grid dimension). This approach can enable a visualization of the non-locality behavior of quantum mechanics.
This paper will show that if we assume that photonic energy curves space time, we will reach a conflict which requires a whole new approach to anti-matter and anti-gravity.
When Albert Einstein imagined himself riding on a beam of light, it was the trigger for developing his special theory of relativity. This paper will keep on trying to imagine the passage of space-time from the perspective of a photon to reveal new insights on the fundamental structure of space-time.
Black holes and the expansion of space .pdfEran Sinbar
This Essay suggests a way to prove that curved space-time guides photonic light how to move, but unlike matter, photonic light will not guide space-time how to curve. This will lead to the conclusion that photonic light has no direct gravitational effect on space-time. This conclusion leads to the source of dark energy which accelerates the expansion of space-time.

The twins paradox and quantized space time .pdfEran Sinbar
Albert Einstein’s twin paradox cannot be visualized through our standard four-dimensional (4D) space time structure and there is a need for a fundamental change in our space-time structure in order to truly overcome the paradox. This change will be an important step towards a unification theory, between general relativity and quantum mechanics.

Visualizing non local connections through space-time.pdfEran Sinbar
A special solution of the Einstein field equation is a tunnel (“worm hole”) which
connects disparate points in space time in a non local way (faster than the speed
of light).
But looking at figure 1 ,where Alice is on one side of the wormhole while Bob
is on the other side , the main questions are:
Where in the local space time is the non local tunnel that connects
between them ?
How can it be that we cannot see or disconnect this tunnel ?
A scientific theory must be visualized by a three dimensional symmetrical image.
If it cannot be visualized it can not be a scientific theory.
If there is a way to visualize it, its an important step forward.
There are two non-local phenomena that cannot be visualized by our standard local three-dimensional concept of space. These phenomena are quantum entanglement (EPR) and the unique results of general relativity in the form of wormholes (ER). Lately it has been suggested that these two are the same phenomena (ER=EPR). In order to visualize them, one dimension was reduced suggesting that our space is a two-dimensional hologram. This paper suggests a new way to visualize these non-local phenomena by quantizing the standard three-dimensional local space and adding an extra non-local grid dimension between the quantized space units.
Adding a gravitational waves detector to the double slit experiment.pdfEran Sinbar
“We choose to examine a phenomenon which is impossible, absolutely impossible, to explain in any classical way, and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics” – Richard Feynman. This paper shows that when an elementary particle (electron, photon and proton) is not measured, it doesn’t have a momentum and location. This idea will be proven by a thought experiment combining double slit experiment with gravitational waves measurement.
The field of reference frames approach.pdfEran Sinbar
Einstein’s special theory of relativity, describes a fabric of space-time in which the speed of light is the same for all observers regardless on their inertial frame of reference (might also be referred to as reference frame or frame of reference). Based on that assumption, Einstein concluded in his special theory of relativity that two observers in two separate frames of reference will measure a difference in the flow of time, in length and in the exact time that events occur (relativity of simultaneity). A new approach that will enable to visualize the structure of this unique fabric of space - time in a single four dimensional (4D) image, will be the key to unify gravity with the quantum world.
Gravity and the cosmic microwave background radiation (cmbr)Eran Sinbar
Based on Einstein’s field equations, mass curves space time and curvature of space-time dictates the gravitational field around the mass. In the theory of general relativity, the equivalence principle is the equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass, and Albert Einstein's observation that the gravitational "force" as experienced locally while standing on a massive body (such as the Earth) is the same as the force experienced by an observer in an accelerated frame of reference. Since acceleration consume energy, it’s a worthy question to ask how curvature of space time can supply this equivalent required energy for acceleration.
Let’s imagine that two similar small objects (e.g. mass A and mass B) are standing still in space-time relative to each other in their frame of reference. Now imagine that mass A absorbs an energetic pulse of gamma ray burst and starts to increase its mass (for example by absorbing radiation and increasing its thermal energy) .Its new effective mass will be signed as A’ where A’>>A.
Based on the interpretation today of the Einstein’s field equations the curvature of space time causes mass B to move towards mass A’ since it is the shortest geodesic path in the curved space-time. The curvature of space time is practically the potential energy.
But from mass B point of view (in its frame of reference where both mass A and B were standing still before the increase of mass A), it feels suddenly a force towards mass A’ and an increase in its kinetic energy and it is a worthy question to ask where does this extra kinetic energy come from? How can curvature in space-time explain this extra kinetic energy of mass B?
This article tries to analyze the Einstein field equations in a new heuristic approach and to explain the cause for the movement of mass B towards the increasing mass A’ due to what is related as gravitational force. The article also suggests that the source of the extra kinetic energy given to mass B comes from the CMBR (Cosmic Micro wave Background Radiation).
How can we explain the “spooky action at a distance “ of the quantum entanglement?
Why are we limited to the Planck length?
Why are we limited to the speed of light?
How can it be that two observers (Alice and Bob) at different velocities in the same point in space-time ,
grasp space and time in a different manner as defined in Einstein’s special relativity theory?
This short presentation will visualize the answer to these deep questions
The information paradox of schrodinger's cat in a black holeEran Sinbar
Based on Prof. Bekenstein and Prof. Hawking, the black hole maximal entropy , the maximum amount of information that a black hole can absorb, beyond its event horizon is proportional to the area of its event horizon surface divided by quantized area units, in the scale of Planck area (the square of Planck length). This article suggests the following new information paradox, in which a box with the Schrodinger’s cat thought experiment passes the black hole event horizon towards the black hole singularity.
Black hole event horizon gravitational firewall Eran Sinbar
This paper suggests a way to prove based on Black Hole Tidal Disruption Events (TDE) or by Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB), comparing the observatory telescopes with the Laser Interferometry Gravitational wave Observatory (LIGO) measurements that photonic light can never pass the event horizon of a black hole towards the gravitational singularity in its core. This conclusion will indicate that photonic light has no direct gravitational effect on space-time and that at the event horizon it will interact with a gravitational “fire wall” that will split the photon into a matter particle with its gravitational curving effect and an anti-matter particle with its anti -gravitational stretching effect.
The big bang and the hawking radiation in a photonic dominated space timeEran Sinbar
Hawking radiation is the black hole radiation due to quantum effects near the black hole event horizon in empty space (vacuum). It is actually the evaporation process of the black hole since it generates and radiates a real particle out of empty space and losses the same energy back into the empty space. This paper tries to analyze what will happen if the black hole will be located in a space filled with energy, dominated by highly energetic Gamma ray photons. This paper suggests that the Hawking radiation due to quantum effects near the black hole event horizon in a space dominated by highly energetic photonic radiation will cause the extreme expansion of space and can explain the inflation phase of the Big Bang.
Schrodinger’s cat describes a paradox in which a cat is located in a sealed black box with a poison sealed capsule inside it. Radioactive source decays and emits radiation, which activates a Geiger counter, The Geiger counter generates a signal to release poison from the capsule and kill the cat. Since the decay of a radioactive source is a random sub atomic event, based on quantum mechanics we can only derive a probability-based assumption on the exact time that the decay of the radioactive atom will occur. The Copenhagen interpretation says that until an observer opens the box, the entire system is in superposition and the cat is both dead and alive. In this paper, I will show that we can extrapolate this superposition paradox also to the time domain and the entropy level of the system.
Introduction – Schrodinger’s cat in the time domain
Let us reconstruct the same thought experiment (figure 1) where a newly born kitten is located in a rocket, orbiting far away from the black hole gravitational influence (orbit A). As the radioactive atom (which is located in the sealed rocket) decays randomly, it radiates, and the Geiger counter detects the radiation and generates an electric signal that activates the rocket engine, which sends the rocket with the cat inside it to circle near the black hole’s event horizon (orbit B). Assuming that near the event horizon time nearly stops due to the strong gravitational time dilation, the age of the cat (or the entropy of the system), becomes a function of a random quantum effect due to the radioactive atom decay.
Summary
There seems to be a dependency between the cat’s age (the entire systems entropy) and the quantum mechanical random effect of the radioactive atom decay.
If the entire macro system (rocket, orbit A, orbit B and the cat ) are in a sealed unmeasurable region ,based on the Copenhagen interpretation , until the observation (the collapse of the Schrodinger’s wave equation) ,the cat age is a superposition of all the possible ages from a newly born kitten to an old or even deceased cat. The location of the rocket is a superposition of orbit A, orbit B and the space between them. This Copenhagen interpretation leads to a disturbing conclusion, which requires that the macro system, Schrodinger wave function, will collapse when measured, in both the space and the time domain. The second law in thermo- dynamics requires that the system entropy will increase in time. In our thought experiment, the entropy level of the entire macro system is dependent only on a single radioactive atom that radiates spontaneously totally disregarding the second law of thermo-dynamics.
The higgs field and the grid dimensionsEran Sinbar
The Higgs boson (or Higgs particle), that was confirmed on 2012 in the ATLAS detector at CERN is supposed to be a quantum excitation of the condensate field which fills our universe and is responsible for the mass of elementary particles and is named the Higgs field. In this paper I will explain why this Higgs field is part of new dimensions which I refer to as the Grid extra dimensions (or grid dimensions). This paper will explain what are the expected measurements regarding the Higgs boson (particle) based on this assumption. In this paper I will show what will be the future measured evidence that the Higgs particle measured at the particle accelerators is a quantum excitation of the Grid dimensions themselves. This exciting evidence will enable us for the first time to probe new dimensions and open our perspectives to accept the option of extra dimensions and many worlds staggered within our known universe. This understanding might enable future communication through these dimensions between the staggered worlds themselves.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.

hematic appreciation test is a psychological assessment tool used to measure an individual's appreciation and understanding of specific themes or topics. This test helps to evaluate an individual's ability to connect different ideas and concepts within a given theme, as well as their overall comprehension and interpretation skills. The results of the test can provide valuable insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skills
3D Hybrid PIC simulation of the plasma expansion (ISSS-14)
A new approach to dark matter
1. Planck’s length( ) is the scale in which Einstein’s General Relativity
ideas of gravity and space-time cease to be valid and where
Heisenberg’s uncertainty Principles dictate the rules.
Planck Area is the size of the entropy information bits on the black
holes event horizon.
𝒍 𝒑
Based on that ,there is a good reason to assume that Planck’s length
is the size (in each dimension)of the basic 3D building blocks of the
fabric of space.
2. Assuming that we can derive three assumptions:
1. Photonic wave length is an integer number N, times Planck’s length
𝑙 𝑝 ,and this integer number doesn’t change due to the changes in
Planck’s length.
2. Every Planck time a photon travels one Planck length (speed of
light c)
3. The expansion of the universe measured by Hubble is due to the
increase in the size of these basic building blocks of space, meaning
the increase in Planck’s length
where 𝑙 𝑝’ is the increased Plank’s length due to expansion of space.
𝑙 𝑝′ > 𝑙 𝑝
3. 𝑙 𝑝
𝑙 𝑝’
In the figure above we assume that a wavelength in the size of ƛ =
3 ∗ 𝑙 𝑝 (colored blue in the figure) will undergo a red shift
transformation ƛ′ = 3 ∗ 𝑙 𝑝′(colored red in the figure) as the Planck
length increases, due to the expansion of space. Every discrete pulse
of Planck time a photon will travel a larger distance in the expanding
space

E = the energy of a photon, ℎ = Planck constant, c = speed of light, ƛ =

As can be seen in the image below ,two equal masses m = m’ at a different
distance from a black hole will differ in their gravitational constant (G ) and a
distant observer which is not aware to that will assume by mistake that m’> m
due to dark matter surrounding m’.
Dark matter is an artifact due to the
