Time Patterns?

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

i think science already has quite a good clue whats going on.
there is a giant theoretical model, called the 'standard model' who suffers from just a few things which it cannot get along with.
1. quantumn gravity .. meaning that there is no direct way to mathematically combine the quantumn world to the world we see with the unaided eye.
2. dark matter as to be the stuff which explains odd galaxy rotation
3. dark energy, believed to be the stuff making the universe to expand.

with these dents we have to get along with.
obviously people who think in the string theory (specifically the M-Theory) may have a glimpse on whats going on.

maybe not

AAH its so highly complex to imagine things here
in a related answer i tried giving a view on possible extra-dimensions who could be real.
since we observe strange things to happen we can assume that theres something going on in those dimensions.
the question is: what exactly ?

from what i know it was shown that the universe emerged from a single point .. a singularity, it explained the background radiation, and the vast expansion we currently observe.
we observed light travelling >c (don't say no, we did)
we figured that subatomic particles can travel back in time (Feynmans QED)
we just have no imagination how all these single observations we made fit into the giant puzzle. cause we ran out of clues for now.

hawking draw a picture that we could positivly life on the edge of a five dimensional world.
I read that 5 times and still have no clue.
do we really have a kind of vibration in a layer of our dimensions we can just determine by calculating it ?

we will see

Answer 2

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.
