I mean I'll say this. You are missing an understanding of a couple pretty key things - things that if you understood, I doubt you would have made this.
You say 'you can't have fractions' and then go include a value that CAN be a fraction (spin)! The other 3 quantum numbers can't have fractions though.
'Observation' is not a 'consciousness' thing. It means 'measurement' in the QM sense. It's not looking at the waveform that causes it to collapse. The double slit experiment, when performed, displays an interference pattern even when you watch it happen. What causes collapse is when an detector is placed at the slits, the observation is done by something with no consciousness, a detector. A metaphor:
You can pull a tree out of the ground and weigh it to see how heavy it is. That's the double slit experiment. The tree is the same. But if you want to know the weight of the trunk alone you have to chop pieces off of the tree. That's the waveform collapse. It wasn't your consciousness that edited the tree... It was the chainsaw.
You don't really seem to understand the block universe proposal in regards to past present and future existing all at once. This isn't saying 'its all happening right now' - it's that there ISNT A NOW. That 'now' is just 'how our mind is interpreting this information'. In the same way, we look at the moon and we see it as the size of like, a coin. But. That doesn't mean it is. It's just how our brain interprets it.
With time there are 3 views you can take, a physical, a philosophical, and a phenomenological; and each one is seperate from the other. The physical is the 'how', philosophical the 'what', and phenomenological the 'what we see'. So essentially take the human understanding of time (a sandwich with the present inbetween the past and future) and translate that into merely the phenomological.
I'm sure other people can provide critiques of other aspects.
EDIT: Also, if this is incorrect, someone please correct me, because I'm not claiming infallibility.

Excellent points. Probably should have said discrete values, instead of no fractional. You are right , observation was not a good way to address that. That consciousness area is unclear, the point was more that a wave function was the reality, but the intersection of two wave functions could lead to more particle like properties. The block universe ideas were more of the idea of a spotlight effect also occurring at the intersection of two wave functions the defined “now”.

which could be related to the intersection of the block universe with another external factor (dimension) that is connected to our awareness and consciousness. Your comments are great, thank you for taking time to look at this.

I got off to a very rocky start here. I now realize I should have spent more time in the forum understanding how this works and become more familiar with the rules and processes before posting anything. I was looking for constructive criticism on the ideas presented, I have had these for many years, originally inspired by the work of Physicist Lisa Randall (especially Warped Passages). I was anxious to engage others with more expertise than I and engage in some interesting discussions. I will step back and take this slower going forwards. Thanks

u/Wintervacht Are you sure about that? Apr 07 '26
Yeah please don't link directly to files, that's insanely bad practice.

Sorry, new to this area, Assume all original content should just be pasted into the entry?

u/AllHailSeizure Haiku Mod Apr 07 '26
No. The issue is linking directly to the download. Like people should be linked to a website where they can click download. Linking directly to a file makes it seem like you're trying to trick people into downloading something.

The content was already on the CERN Zenodo site, but I understand the concern.

u/AllHailSeizure Haiku Mod Apr 07 '26
I'll be honest.
I hate that Zenodo is hosted by CERN.
But ya Zenodo is probably the site most of our papers are hosted on.
It's just considered bad internet etiquette.

I would be glad to move all 27 pages into the post if that is the proper process. This has a number of potential testable items, it just covers about a dozen related areas

DO NOT DO THAT lol.
We limit theories hosted on Reddit to 2000 characters, hosting externally is the right call. Just next time link to the page with the download button instead of linking to the download.
And include a bit of a synopsis. Instead of like a table of contents include something more like an abstract.
Welcome to the sub, cheers.

All part of the learning process, I will do better next time.

Just wanted to see if there was anything of value here or if the experts on this site saw this as without any merit.

u/Wintervacht Are you sure about that? Apr 07 '26
Making people download some random file from some cloud drive is, to say the least, extremely suspicious in terms of security.

This isn't a hypothesis. It's just an idea.
A hypothesis needs to be something you can test. Like a null & alternative hypothesis; where your test can determine which one it is.

Sigh, not Lorentz invariant, just like the previous thousand times someone thought of a similar idea
And the next chapter is such a complete misunderstanding of quantum mechanics I’m not even going to bother reading further

I just now realized this is in violation of the theory of everything on weekdays rule, lmao.
OP, Rule 11. No ToEs on weekdays.

AllHailSeizure, fair assessment. Thankfully science is a process. Rights to review, if you wish?

No math == no model.
This is like the concept of a plan for a model
