Could a massive Casimir effect between branes? Cause dark energy?

String theory can explain dark energy. The idea is that. Dark energy is the so-called positive energy that pushes things away from each other. There are many models that try to explain dark energy. One of those models is that. Dark energy is an energy. That traveled through wormholes. 

“A wormhole is a hypothetical structure that connects disparate points in spacetime. It can be visualized as a tunnel with two ends at separate points in spacetime (i.e., different locations, different points in time, or both). Wormholes are based on a special solution of the Einstein field equations. Wormholes are consistent with the general theory of relativity, but whether they actually exist is unknown. Many physicists postulate that wormholes are merely projections of a fourth spatial dimension, analogous to how a two-dimensional (2D) being could experience only part of a three-dimensional (3D) object.” (Wikipedia, Wormhole)

When energy or wave movement moves through the Einstein-Rosen bridge. That energy acts like water, which travels through the energy channel. In that model, dark energy forms in the maser emission. When a wormhole transports through the universe, the energy that travels inside it pulls energy into it. So it turns the wormhole’s outer shell colder, and it starts to pull energy into it. That energy that wormhole. Or an energy tornado that forms a channel through the universe increases the energy level of that wave movement. When that energy comes out from the wormhole, it increases the expansion of the universe. This means that the wormhole condenses energy from around it. 

“Open strings attached to a pair of D-branes”. So, could that effect mean? Do branes act like Casimir plates?

“Casimir forces on parallel plates” (Wikipedia, Casimir effect)

Casimir effect, image from Quanta magazine. 

“A wormhole visualized as a two-dimensional surface. Route (a) is the shortest path through normal space between points 1 and 2; route (b) is a shorter path through a wormhole.” (Wikipedia, Wormhole) 

If we connect the Casimir effect with the Brane theory, we can create a model where branes act like Casimir plates act in the Casimir effect. If the massive Casimir effect is behind dark energy, that explains why it seems to interact only between large megastructures. 

“In 1948, the Dutch physicist Hendrik Casimir recognized that in the narrow space between two conducting plates, not all quantum fields can pop into existence. In this region, the long wavelengths get cut off. This leads to a lower energy density inside the plates than outside. The mismatch of energies creates a force that tries to push the plates together.”(Quanta). 

But if those energy fields that push those plates together are identical and their force is symmetrically the same, that causes the standing wave that pushes those plates away from each other. 

But in another version, the key element is that. The giant Casimir effect. Forms the dark energy. The idea is taken from the Casimir effect. In that effect. Two metal plates that are close to each other form an energy between them. Or as we know. The Casimir effect doesn’t form energy between two metal plates. It condenses energy between plates. Those that are close to each other. In models, the giant quantum fields can also act like Casimir plates. That means that the Casimir effect can be connected with the Brane theory. In Brane theory, the universe or spacetime forms. Of so-called branes. And those branes  can act as Casimir plates. in the Casimir effect. That energy. Starts to push plates away from each other. The outside energy tries to push those plates together. But standing waves don’t give in. 

In the Casimir system. The system collects energy using virtual particles. The Casimir effect begins when electrons jump between those plates. That forms the energy channel or energy vacuum. Side-coming energy fields try to feel those eruption channels. And that condenses energy into those points. There is a possibility that the universe-scale Casimir effect condenses energy between giant megastructures. When we think about the distance between the plates or the field, that makes the Casimir effect possible. Things that affect the Casimir effect are the stability of the system. The size of those plates is also important.

The String theory and the 5-plet problem.

"Concept image of strange particles in an atom." (InterestingEngineering)

The 5-plet is a strange 5-particle group detected in the Large Hadron Collider that can challenge String theory and give answers for Dark Matter problems. The problem is that the 5-plet must not exist in the String model. But it still exists. When we think about String theory itself, that theory seems to give answers to every problem in the universe. String theory has the same problem with the Big Bang theory. That theory is commonly accepted, even if it's incomplete. String theory is made for filling the Big Bang theory giving answers to where the material that formed the Big Bang came from. The purpose of String Theory is to answer the question: What “exploded" in the Big Bang? 

String theory is not the same as the Grand Unified Theory, GUT. Some people think that the String theory gives answers to all problems in the universe. 

That is not even close to the truth. The String theory handles small parts of the entirety. And the thing that supports some kind of superstring’s existence is the cosmic web. The main idea of the String theory is that the internal superstrings or energy channels form a dimension. And the universe is like a bubble in one extremely large superstring. Those strings also form material and everything. And every single particle is a bubble in a superstring. We often forget that the Superstring theory is a repair tool for the Big Bang theory, which should explain where the material and energy came from. 

(InterestingEngineering)

The problem with the Big Bang theory is this: it doesn’t answer one of the most critical questions in physics. Where did that energy that formed the Big Bang come from? The Big Bang theory's basement is in the wave-particle duality, WPD. That means wave movement can turn into particles and particles can turn into wave movement. But without wave movement, there are no particles. So there are many updates in the Big Bang theory. The most modern model is that time itself formed the Big Bang. And the Big Bang was rather the Big Burst than the single Bang. That means in modern models the Big Bang was a series of events that formed the material in the form as we know it. 

That means the Big Bang was some kind of annihilation, but it doesn’t answer where those particles that formed the annihilation came from. One of the suggestions for that question is that there formed a giant black hole that exploded.  That black hole could have formed from wave movement that existed before the Big Bang. Or, another suggestion is that the hypothetical black hole was a remnant of the universe that existed before our universe. The multiverse model explains the space as a dimension where Big Bangs happen all the time. And universes form in the crossing points of other universes' radiation. That radiation pushes particles or wave movement into the points where their gravitational effect starts to form new universes. 

But proving that the model is not a very easy thing. If there is material outside the universe, that material is so cold that we cannot see it. But the multiverse is a logical conclusion that begins from the galaxies, galaxy clusters, and superclusters. The idea is that the universe itself is part of a larger entirety. But then we face another way to answer the problem of where everything came from. That answer is written in a very incomplete Brane theory. The idea is that the dimension or third dimension simply collapsed. That opened the channel from the fourth dimension straight to the second dimension. That energy channel formed the event called the Big Bang. If that model can be true the 3D material cannot close that channel because its energy level is too high.

The holographic principle and parallel universe.

"The holographic principle is a property of string theories and a supposed property of quantum gravity that states that the description of a volume of space can be thought of as encoded on a lower-dimensional boundary to the region – such as a light-like boundary like a gravitational horizon." (Wikipedia, Holographic principle)

The holographic principle means that the Universe can be a hologram. The idea is that the crossing energy, or superstrings can cause a scattering effect. That effect breaks those strings into pieces. And then material forms in those points where those strings impact with each other. The thing that causes impacts of those superstrings is the expansion of superstrings. The interesting detail in the holographic principle is that this thing means that photons can turn into quarks. 

Then the holographic principle causes an idea that making those photon clouds denser and shooting light waves crossing each other is a possibility to form material. This model means wave-particle duality, WMD. Wave movement can form material and material can turn into wave movement. And the material is only the reflection, an ultra-dense hologram. The model is that the light beams that crossed each other formed the first particles. When we think that time is the only real thing in the universe and the superstring expands all the time, that thing explains why entropy grows all the time. 

The thing that makes parallel universe theory along with the WMD  one of the most interesting models that we can even imagine. The idea is that new universes can form in the points between those universes where radiation that comes from them touches each other. If radiation that comes from another universe is very weak radiation that comes from our universe pushes that radiation away from our universe. If that radiation slides at the edge of our universe’s plasma and photon halo that means we cannot see that radiation. Same way as the heliosphere turns off much of the radiation and plasma that comes from other stars, our galaxy’s halo and the edge of the universe will push weak signals away. If there are other universes there should be similar plasma impact waves that surround our solar system and our galaxy. 

The thing is this: There is evidence against and supporting parallel- or multiverse. The main thing is that there is not enough evidence of that model. The parallel- and multiverse are not the same thing. A parallel universe means that other universes will be in extra dimensions. And the multiverse means that those universes are in 3D spacetime with our universe. 

The model of holographic principle where crossing superstrings forms “electric arcs” that form universes and material. 

**********************************************************************

The evidence that supports and against the multiverse. 

-Cosmic microwave background radiation anomalies: Scientists studying the afterglow of the Big Bang have found strange patterns in space that some believe could be caused by another universe bumping into ours.

-Quantum mechanics experiments: The famous double-slit experiment showed that tiny particles can exist in multiple states at once, which could support the idea of a multiverse.

-Déjà vu and strange phenomena: Some people think that feelings of déjà vu or ghostly encounters could be glimpses of other realities. While this isn’t scientific proof, it’s still a fun idea!

Arguments Against Parallel Universes

-Here are some assumptions that suggest that parallel universes do not exist:

-Lack of direct evidence: So far, we haven’t been able to see or measure parallel universes, making them impossible to confirm.

-Testability issues: For something to be considered scientific, we need to be able to test it. Right now, the idea of a multiverse is more of a theory than a proven fact.

**********************************************************************

The parallel universe theory where the Big Bang was only one of many similar cases explains things like exotic particles as their source is in some other universe. If we want to make theories about the beginning of space and time we face one thing. The parallel universe theory is only an extension of the Big Bang Theory. If the universe where we live is only one of many universes that doesn’t answer the question of eternal entirety where universes exist and were formed. 

The eternal entirety is the place where the universes form the bubbles or quantum systems where there can be planets but in some universes, there might not be planets or stars. The problem is to prove that theory is in the stars in our universe. Same way as city lights cause light pollution, galaxies, and other objects cause light pollution, if we want to see things outside our universe we must remove all light that covers that very weak radiation that could uncover other universes' existence.

Logically other universes exist like galaxies, and galaxies form local galaxy clusters. Local galaxy clusters form galactic superclusters. So we can say that the universe is the global galaxy cluster that is part of a larger entirety. But then we can ask can we still see everything? The parallel universe is the next logical step to the model that expands all the time. We know many new details about the universe. The multiverse is a simple thing that is hard to prove. But then we can remember. How our worldview increases. 

Before Nicolaus Copernikus people believed that the Earth was the center of the universe. Then Galileo Galilei proved that four moons orbiting Jupiter. After that Hubble proved that the Milky Way is only one of billions of galaxies. Then astronomers found local and superclusters of galaxies. The next thing that astronomers found was the “cosmic web” the largest known megastructure in the universe. And then the new step would be the parallel universe. 

Another universe can exist in our universe, places like black holes. Or it can exist outside our universe. It can form visible or dark matter. And in theory, their time can travel backward. Those universes are things that can be proven in the future. The problem is that the universe covers radiation that comes from other universes if they exist.  The other problem is that we live in a galaxy. Galaxies are ultimately massive objects. They pull dark and visible material around them as halos. 

Those halos form light pollution that the dimmest light cannot pass. The other problem with that thing is that the material between galaxies can be thinner than nobody expected. And if we continue that induction thinking we can think that quantum fields and material between hypothetical multiverse universes is much more thin than nobody even imagined. That means radiation from other universes can be much weaker than we even imagine.

Gravitons, photons, and string theory.

Above: A spiral galaxy is actually a material disk around a supermassive black hole. 

If a graviton is the black hole in the middle of a photon that thing is a small but very powerful particle. When we look at the black holes in the universe we can see that those phenomena pull material into them from extremely large areas. The Sagittarius A’s size is about the same as the solar system. But it forms a spiral galaxy around it. 

That means that if the photon is a structure that is formed around the quantum-size black hole, that means the quantum black hole could be the graviton, the missing gravitation transmitting particle. But that particle is extremely small if we compare it with a photon. In this model, the photon is an energy ring that locks that quantum black hole into its form. That means photons are the energy field that denies the quantum black hole explosion. 

Or if the superstring or string theory is true we can say that if a photon is lost. That pushes a black hole into that superstring. An energy field that falls behind it impacts the superstring. In string theory, superstrings form all particles and energy fields. Those strings can be like rings, or they can be very long lines. And that means those 2D strings form everything. 

The idea is that the hypothetical superstring that the photon surrounds acts like a thermal pump that puts energy flow away from that point. 

"A new theory, that explains how light and matter interact at the quantum level has enabled researchers to define for the first time the precise shape of a single photon. Credit: Dr. Benjamin Yuen" (ScitechDaily, Quantum Leap: Scientists Reveal the Shape of a Single Photon for the First Time)

The question is how can that thing form? The answer could be in the Kugelblitz black hole. The black hole can form from energy or from superstrings. The idea is that the photon that we see is an energy ring around the superstring. When the energy that comes out starts to push that string in that point, that makes energy move in and on that string. Superstring can be thinner than quark. But it can be as long as the diameter of the universe. So, when the energy level in that point starts to rise it puts energy to move out from that point. The rising energy level at that point puts energy moving faster at that superstring. 

That thing starts to pull energy out from that point so fast that all wave movement goes with that thing. In this model, the photon is the impact field around the superstring that cannot take all energy away from that point. The photon is the energy field that outcomes energy locks around the energy hill that makes energy move in the superstring. This means the black holes are like extremely powerful thermal pumps that make energy flow away from the point where they are so fast that quantum fields around them start to travel to that point with such high speed that light or any other wave movement cannot escape from that point. 

When we think that a photon is the ring-shaped energy field around some kind of superstring, the next question is how that superstring turns into a supermassive black hole. That happens when those superstrings are starting to tie around each other like a rope. That kind of thing can form extremely large black holes. But the requirement is that those structures must not let energy away from them. So maybe at least large-size Kugelblitz black holes cannot form in the modern universe. There is so much free space or surrounding quantum fields are so weak that the rope-shaped structure of superstrings will be broken. 

The black hole is in the interaction between it and its environment. Outcoming energy or quantum fields press that structure together. And in the young universe, those quantum fields were much stronger than in our universe. They pressed those superstrings together. And that means it's possible that in the very young universe the Kugelblitz black holes formed before material. That is one way to think about the most interesting phenomenon in the universe. Proving that thing requires proving string theory. And that is not an easy thing.
