Patterns In Time?

Question

We know that space and time are interconnected and that mass curves space-time around it. Is it possible that these distortions in space time send ripples across the universe, possibly through the medium of dark matter. These ripples either resonating or canceling each other out. With an effect that weakly interacts with matter so as not to disrupt it, but still having an effect. And would, under these conditions, objects moving in orbits cause cyclic patterns as the ancients believed was the way time behaved?

I forgot to add, like as a kind of astrology type thing, yes thats right i said astrology get scared, but no like how depending on the positions of the stars certain people have more of a tendency for a personality trait. What if with more distant objects the effect was on the entire planet in time periods...like how the mayans have their repeating cycles....i forget what they're called but theres 13. Each one is a certain aspect of creation and they just repeat over and over though in shorter and shorter increments.

You're going to have to use your imagination, if you've got one, and think of dark matter/energy as a giant ocean in which atomic(dont know the right term) matter moves through....take a ball in a tub and push it along....see what happens. OPEN YOUR MIND! There's 96% of the universe we know nothing about and what we do know comes from not 4% but a fraction of that 4%. Do you really think we have a clue?

Answer 1

my first vote was in the same direction stating that you basically talk about gravitational waves.

but then i figured you possibly see something else in this.

what about TIME is not a flat line, but in fact a 2 dimensional surface and your ripples and waves run along THAT

basically meaning that we just see effects of a dimension above... turning Spacetime to something 5-dimensional.. ?

why not 6,7,8,9,10 dimensions ?
impossible to imagine ? no ..

very exciting

Answer 2

Just curious; where did you get that 96% statistic? Also, what reason would I have to believe this theory, other than the desire to believe it? I doubt the stars affect the Earth in this way. An open mind does not accept ideas as truth just because they sound interesting.

Answer 3

I don't think so. The curvature is not like ripels. They are more smooth curves. The mass in the universe just can cause an acceleration toward not outward the way we see in the universe expansion.

Answer 4

Hi. I think you are talking about gravity waves. They are working on a detector to try and measure the waves. http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=gravity+wave&gwp=13 The cyclic patterns usually refer to the 'Precession of the equinoxes' a 27,000 year long wobble in the Earth's tilt. http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=Precession+of+the+equinoxes&gwp=13

Answer 5

This could also be described as fluidic space, which could give rise to all sorts of phenomena heretofore believed to be impossible.
