Oy, gevalt!

According to this model the universe and various parts of it oscillate in an explosion/implosion fashion. The mass gathers together and explodes, expands, slows down, speeds up, gathers together and explodes, repeating the cycle.

Big Bang/Big Crunch -- nothing new there. The outcome depends on the mass density of the Universe, about which there is much controversy and no conclusive data... but the research along those pathways is generally called "the missing mass problem".

According to this model, there are two effects or "forces" in nature. One effect or "force" is "kinetic", that is "motion" of mass is involved in the effect. The other effect is "potential", in other words, the effect is there even if there is no "motion" involved. I hope that I am not confusing you by using these words from classical physics to explain "fundamental" effects.

No, I think you're confusing yourself... and by the way, now I know what Davin means about all the quote marks and the resemblance to Dr. Evil. (Please tell me that the Scott Evil who posts here is not your son!)

Otherwise, the paragraph I just quoted makes no sense. Have you ever studied classical Newtonian physics? Do you know the difference between effect and cause? In other words: what causes motion in your "model"?

Prediction #1. It will be found that:

The universe is expanding and at the same time the motion of the galaxies is away from each other and accelerating.


It has already been found, etc.... although, admittedly, the acceleration is a relatively newly-discovered phenomenon. How convenient...

Then according to this model our universe is a "dipole" oscillation. Similar "dipole" oscillation happens in a "photon" of light.

Since the universe is expanding and accelerating it will continue to do so until the mass reaches the "pole" point where it compresses into a singularity and then explodes, since it is a "dipole" process, the mass will be directed towards the other "pole" where the process repeats and the cycle continues.


Self-contradictory. "Expanding and accelerating" implies a decreasing density, in all directions (look up the word isotropy, please). What you seem to be describing is matter distribution expanding through space, directed somehow (!?!) to a specific destination where everything falls back together, then bounces, retracing its paths back to some specific origin.

What you fail to understand (among many things) is that space itself is expanding, omnidirectionally, carrying the galaxies with it. There is neither a point of origin nor a destination. Apparently you're the only person with an interest in the topic who hasn't read a single book about it, and hasn't run across either the "raisins in the bread" or the "dots on a balloon" analogy.

Now then... what do you mean by Similar "dipole" oscillation happens in a "photon" of light?

Prediction #2: It will be found that:

The "speed" of light is not "constant". What is constant is the "acceleration" of photons. That means that faster than light "speed" is possible.


This sounds something like the premise underlying the "universe" created by Vernor Vinge for A Fire in the Deep and its prequel. In other words, in Vinge's stories the assumption that all constants of physics are isotropic at all directions and distances is mistaken -- understandably, based on obervations restricted to local conditions.

You have not, however, explained your terms even as well a Vinge did in his work of obvious fiction. Putting yours in quotes serves but to confuse them further.

Prediction #3: It will be found that:

All "fields" (electronic, magnetic, gravitational, etc.) are variations of the fundamental "space/mass" combinations that have different densities, frequencies, and vector relationships to each other.<.i>

Mazeltov! You've "predicted" the universe as we already know it, derived by Newton, Maxwell, and Einstein (among many others), all of whom arrived at their conclusions through rigorous mathematics which -- tah daah! -- all have been found to be verifiable by empirical observation!

Can you reduce their work to the action of two fundamental forces?

Prediction #4: It will be found that:

There is the combination of two "fundamental forces" involved in every atomic and sub atomic "particle".

Which two? Kinetic and potential? Polar and dipolar? Maybe bipolar is closer to the truth...

In summary:

What you have is not a model, but an analogy.* In the world of modern physics "model" implies mathematical modelling, and "prediction" comes from the math, not from some blue-sky guessing. Your analogy makes sense to you because you thought of it. It makes sense to no one else because you are neither articulate enough to express it convincingly in non-mathematical language (see Brian Greene's The Elegant Universe for an example of articulation of theory using metaphor), nor mathematically inclined enough to render it for real peer review.

Which, regrettably, does not even get you to the level of pseudoscience. This is non-science, and nonsense.
