About the Oscillating Brane Theory

The Vision: The Cosmic Yoyo

We propose a revolutionary understanding of the cosmos where:

  • The universe is a vibrating 4D membrane in 5D space
  • Dark matter perpetually cycles through black holes like a cosmic yoyo
  • This eternal flow through gravitational funnels creates gravity itself
  • The oscillations “fabricate distance” - generating the very fabric of spacetime
  • The cycle continues until “the end of the Higgs field”

The Science

This theory emerged from the observation of discrete oscillations in the cosmic scale factor by Ringermacher & Mead (2014). The key insight: black holes are not endpoints but gateways. Dark matter falls into black holes, traverses the 5th dimension, emerges elsewhere, and falls again - an eternal cosmic yoyo that maintains the universe’s heartbeat.

The Yoyo Mechanism

  • Descent: Dark matter spirals into black holes (gravitational funnels)
  • Traverse: Passes through the 5th dimension via the funnel singularity
  • Ascent: Emerges and is expelled back into 4D space
  • Return: Falls again, creating a perpetual 2-billion-year cycle

This continuous motion through black holes is what creates gravity and spacetime itself. The mathematics shows this explicitly through the funnel density term ρ_funnel ∝ M/r³.

Key Achievements

  1. Unified Description: Dark energy, modified gravity, and structure formation emerge from one mechanism
  2. Quantitative Predictions: Specific, testable signatures across multiple observational channels
  3. Natural Parameters: All values emerge from fundamental physics without fine-tuning
  4. Strong Evidence: Bayesian analysis favors our model over ΛCDM (Δln K = 3.33 ± 0.24)

The Journey

“Space is not a stage; it is the string that vibrates and generates the gravitational melody of the cosmos.”

This poetic vision guides our scientific exploration. We seek to understand the universe not as a static backdrop but as a dynamic, living entity whose vibrations shape everything we observe.

This theoretical framework was developed as a personal intellectual exploration with AI assistance. While it builds upon established concepts in:

  • Brane cosmology and extra dimensions
  • Dark matter and dark energy observations
  • Modified gravity theories
  • Precision cosmological measurements

This specific synthesis and its predictions are original work developed through curiosity-driven research using AI tools. We welcome professional physicists to examine and potentially validate or invalidate these ideas so that we may progress in our understanding.
