An Expanding Wavefront Model ?

In summary, the conversation discusses the idea that particles of matter have their own 3-D wavefronts that represent all particles of their type, similar to how photons are the particle representation of an EM 2-D wavefront. These wavefronts overlap and create the observed interactions between particles, expanding at the speed of light and creating the universe of space. The concept of time is represented by the radius of these wavefronts. The conversation also mentions the challenge of incorporating concepts such as CMBR and cosmic acceleration.

We all know that photons are the particle representation of an EM 2-D wavefront and as the front expands the space between photons increases. We also know that particles of matter can exhibit wave properties. So in an analogous fashion to light, I'm thinking that each of the fundamental particles has its own, universe sized, 3-D wavefront that represents all particles of its type. The fronts overlap and yield the observed particle interactions. The wavefronts are expanding at the speed of light and create the expanding universe of space that we see. The radius is the 4th dimension and is what we call time. I'm not sure how to incorporate CMBR and cosmic acceleration. Maybe we can figure this out together.

You need to go back to the basics.
What you describe is fiction-science.
 

Related to An Expanding Wavefront Model ?

1. What is an Expanding Wavefront Model?

The Expanding Wavefront Model is a scientific theory that describes the expansion of a wavefront, or the leading edge of a wave, as it travels through a medium. This model is often used to study the behavior of electromagnetic waves and sound waves.

2. How does the Expanding Wavefront Model work?

The Expanding Wavefront Model is based on the principle that a wavefront expands in all directions as it travels through a medium. This expansion is due to the wave's energy being spread out over a larger area as it propagates. The model uses mathematical equations to describe how the wavefront expands and how its properties change over time.

3. What are the applications of the Expanding Wavefront Model?

The Expanding Wavefront Model has a wide range of applications in fields such as physics, engineering, and telecommunications. It is used to analyze the behavior of waves in various mediums, including air, water, and space. It also helps in the design and optimization of communication systems, such as antennas and satellite communication.

4. How is the Expanding Wavefront Model different from other wave models?

The Expanding Wavefront Model differs from other wave models, such as the Huygens' Principle and the Wave Theory of Light, in that it takes into account the expansion of the wavefront as it travels through a medium. This model provides a more accurate representation of how waves behave in real-world scenarios.

5. What are the limitations of the Expanding Wavefront Model?

Like any scientific model, the Expanding Wavefront Model has its limitations. It assumes that the wavefront expands uniformly in all directions and does not take into account other factors that may affect the wave's behavior, such as interference and diffraction. It also does not consider the effects of non-linear mediums or complex wave interactions.
