The Universe Version of the Game: Rock/Paper/Scissors

Theory 4 '" Gravity Wins

Doctorn
In the game of rock, paper, scissors each of two players hides one hand behind their back and they count down 3, 2, 1 and throw out their hands so the other can see. If they both throw out a clenched fist, which represents a "rock" then it is a draw. If they both throw out a flat hand it is again a draw. If they each throw out two fingers partially apart it represents the scissors and once again a draw. If however one throws out a "rock" and the other throws out the scissors, then they conclude that rock breaks scissors and the "rock" wins. If one throws out "paper" and the other throws out scissors, then they conclude that scissors cuts paper and the scissors wins. If one throws out paper and the other throws out rock, then they conclude that paper folds around rock and paper wins.

If this game were applied to the universe and we said that paper was our "light"; that gravity was our "rock"; and that scissors was any other form of energy like magnetism or electricity, then we could play the same game fairly well with a particular exception: A really massive rock on the order of a black hole massive.

In this case one player throws out light the other throws out rock and the rock (now our black hole) sucks in the light, the energy and everything around it. Rock (in this case gravity) wins. If the mass is not at the black hole density, then light could be said to go around the rock (at least half way) and could be said to win.

It is interesting that we consider gravity as the weakest of the known forces in the universe, but when this force is focused by the presence of enough matter, it become unbeatable. Gravity can simply not be the weakest force and the strongest force at the same time. What may be happening is that gravity may not be caused by the presence of matter, but possibly focused by the presence of matter. Just because we see gravity as being directed toward the center of masses of matter, does not actually mean that it is created in the center of that matter, but it at least must be focused by that matter.

In a previous article/theory the concept of "gravity straws" was introduced. If at the moment of the "big bang" such gravity straws were produced, then they may have formed the fabric of the universe and what we generally experience is the part of the "gravity straw" that has the least gravitational force still present and that somewhere out past the edge of the known universe we might find the bulk of the force of gravity.

When the big bang happened it may have created much smaller "gravity straws" that were projected from billions of "black holes" that now have become the center of galaxies. This concept would explain in part, the structure of present galaxies and possibly explain why the outer edge of spiral galaxies are traveling around their galactic center at about the same speed as inner portions of the spiral galaxy. In this case there might be a "gravity straw" that stretches out from the galactic center, pulling the entire galaxy in a circular path, all at about the same speed.

    You make some intriguing correlations here with the rock, paper, scissors analogy.
