Unifying Gravity With Electromagnetism, the Atomic Nuclear Forces, and the Higgs Eliminates the Universe’s Big Bang

Abstract - In the first section, Einstein's 1919 paper "Do gravitational fields play an essential role in the structure of elementary particles?", though originally intended to explain atomic structure, helps explain gravitational-electromagnetic (G-EM) unity by being used as inspiration for a “vector-tensor-scalar geometry”. The geometry is then extended, nearly a hundred years later, into “bits (binary digits) and topology” to complete G-EM unity. It also interprets the origin of mass, and of the Higgs boson, in terms of G-EM unity: thus relating the Higgs field to the supposedly unrelated gravitational field. In sections 2 and 3, that paper is utilized in its original context by applying vector-tensor-scalar geometry to the Weak force’s bosons, then to the Strong force’s gluons: extending the previous G-EM unification to the remaining fundamental forces. Section 4 is reminiscent of something the Danish physicist Niels Bohr is reported to have said last century, “Your theory is crazy, but it’s not crazy enough to be true.” This article reaches a final conclusion that is, in a word, crazy. But the conclusion appears to be inescapable if mathematics has any value – and the article would therefore be crazy enough to be true. The vector-tensor-scalar relationship can substitute Earth for the Higgs boson and field, making our planet infinite and eternal. Obeying the Copernican principle that Earth does not rest in a special physical position in the universe, everything in the cosmos would be infinite and eternal, composing the Unified Field of the Block Universe Albert Einstein believed in. If the Earth, and everything else, is infinite and eternal; there can be no Big Bang originating time and the entire universe. Experiments suggesting that entanglement pervades all space and all time are used to suggest the Cosmic Microwave Background fills the entire sky without being produced by the Big Bang. Conclusion The work is important and requires consideration because both theoretical and experimental physics have uncovered extremely powerful science in the past hundred years which needs to be recognized as susceptible to other interpretations. These other interpretations refer to the outgrowths of General Relativity, quantum mechanics and Unification known as the relationship between gravity and matter, the Higgs boson and field, the subatomic nuclear forces, and universal expansion from the Big Bang. These other interpretations must, of course, be consistent with known data – but the very fact that they exist would stop science from falling into the dead-end of believing current interpretations are correct because they’re the only ones that can exist. Such belief prevents any possibility of progress and is the trap that religions fell into. Nobody wants science to become nothing more than dogma and creation myth. While there may be small parts of this article that will be seen as too speculative, the speculation is purely scientific and could turn out to be correct.
