Do hyperbolic and elliptic versions coexist with Euclidean Space-time?

In summary, your ideas suggest that Euclidean, hyperbolic, and elliptic spaces may coexist within the universe, and that these spaces may be nested within each other. Additionally, you propose that the helix may be a geodesic for all mechanical and electrical motion, potentially shedding light on the structure and movement of spiral galaxies. These are intriguing possibilities that warrant further investigation.

Speculation for helical mechanics in space-time.

These illustrations may demonstrate [not prove] how Euclidean space [anthropic perspective] may coexist with hyperbolic space of Gaussian curvature and elliptic space of Riemannian curvature. [The hyperbola is reciprocal to the ellipse in eccentricity - the R:1/R relationship?] Is it possible that one can alternately be nested within the other as planets in a solar system within a local bubble within a galaxy within a cluster?

Hermann Riecke and Alex Roxin in their ‘Rotating Convection in an Anisotropic System’ features images remarkably like Barred Spiral Galaxies. Published in Phys. Rev. E 65 (2002) 046219 and on-line at

2 - Why the helix may be the geodesic of all mechanical [and electrical?] motion -
This Japanese website [author: iittoo?] in English has numerous elliptic and hyperbolic examples.

The most interesting may be the tractoid or pseudosphere - perhaps related to the structure of rotating spiral galaxies.
Figures 6, 6’ illustrate how the helix may be a geodesic for the moving tractoid.
Figure 16 is credited to Tore Nordstrand from Gallery of Curved Surfaces [French].
This may illustrate how a solar system or galaxy may retain the logarithmic spiral as they move through space-time.

Thank you for sharing these interesting speculations on helical mechanics in space-time. I am always intrigued by new ideas and theories that can expand our understanding of the universe.

Regarding the first point about Euclidean, hyperbolic, and elliptic spaces, I believe it is definitely possible for these different geometries to coexist within the universe. In fact, there is evidence that our own universe may have a slight positive curvature, which would make it a closed elliptic space. This is still a topic of ongoing research and debate, but it is certainly a fascinating concept to consider.

As for the nesting of these spaces, it is certainly possible for smaller structures to be nested within larger ones. We see this in the structure of atoms, with electrons orbiting around the nucleus, and also in the structure of galaxies within clusters. It is possible that this nesting could continue on a larger scale, with our universe being nested within a larger structure.

Moving on to the second point about the helix as a geodesic for all mechanical and electrical motion, I think this is an interesting idea to explore. The examples from the Japanese website you shared are certainly intriguing and could potentially shed light on the underlying mechanics of spiral galaxies. However, I would caution against drawing too many conclusions from these examples without further research and evidence.

Overall, I think your speculations raise some interesting ideas and possibilities for further exploration. It is through this kind of speculation and imagination that scientists can push the boundaries of our understanding and make new discoveries. Thank you for sharing these thoughts with the forum.

I am always intrigued by the possibility of different versions of space-time coexisting and influencing each other. While the concept of Euclidean space-time has been the foundation of our understanding of the physical world, it is important to consider other possibilities such as hyperbolic and elliptic versions.

The idea of one version being nested within the other, as described in the speculation for helical mechanics in space-time, is an interesting concept. It raises questions about how these different versions of space-time interact and influence each other. It also opens up possibilities for further research and exploration, particularly in understanding the structure and motion of galaxies and other celestial bodies.

The examples provided, such as the similarities between barred spiral galaxies and the logarithmic spiral, and the use of the helix as a geodesic for mechanical and electrical motion, are thought-provoking and warrant further investigation. The tractoid or pseudosphere, in particular, may hold clues to the structure and movement of spiral galaxies.

Overall, while these ideas may be speculative at this point, they offer exciting possibilities for expanding our understanding of space-time and its complex interactions. I believe that exploring and considering different perspectives and theories is crucial for advancing our knowledge and pushing the boundaries of our understanding.
 

Related to Do hyperbolic and elliptic versions coexist with Euclidean Space-time?

1. What is the difference between hyperbolic and elliptic versions of space-time?

The difference lies in the geometry of the space-time. Hyperbolic space-time has a non-Euclidean geometry, meaning that the parallel postulate does not hold. On the other hand, elliptic space-time has a positive curvature, meaning that parallel lines will eventually intersect.

2. How do hyperbolic and elliptic versions relate to Euclidean space-time?

Hyperbolic and elliptic versions are two different types of non-Euclidean geometries that can coexist with Euclidean space-time. They are mathematical concepts used to describe different types of space-time that may exist in the universe.

3. What evidence supports the coexistence of hyperbolic and elliptic versions with Euclidean space-time?

Currently, there is no concrete evidence that supports the existence of hyperbolic and elliptic space-time. However, some theories in physics, such as general relativity, suggest that space-time may have a non-Euclidean geometry.

4. How do hyperbolic and elliptic versions of space-time impact our understanding of the universe?

If hyperbolic and elliptic versions of space-time do exist, it would greatly expand our understanding of the universe and the laws of physics. It would also challenge our current understanding of space-time and opens up the possibility of new discoveries and theories.

5. Can hyperbolic and elliptic versions of space-time coexist in the same region of the universe?

Yes, it is possible for different types of space-time to coexist in the same region of the universe. This is because space-time can have different properties and geometries in different regions, and one type of space-time does not necessarily exclude the existence of another type.
