Vectors Galore

In my last post I took a new path on my quest to explain all physical interactions via reflective gravity. This path related to trying to explain the motion of reflecting particles around a spherical surface via paths of circular arcs merging with one another.

I was only able to scratch at the surface of the theory, but just drawing the shape got my creative juices to flow. While the basic shape could be drawn with eight circular arcs connecting a more complex Saint Hannes Knot shape, the model gave no direct indication of how these arcs are connected to each other.

So, today’s post is my first attempt at proposing such connections. And the shape below is the proposed model:

The most important thing to note is that while I wouldn’t present it if it wasn’t at all logical, there’s still a significant chance that it’s not at all correct. Rather it’s a collection of vectors orbiting a central eight-spoked ‘star’, where all but four vectors are actually a pair of vectors connecting the center of the sphere to its surface. And even the four vectors could be considered as special cases of these pairs, where one of the vectors just happens to have a length of zero.

And what does this complication collection of vectors mean physically? My honest answer is that I don’t exactly know just yet. All I know is that the idea that I got was probably inspired by the Fan Lizards from the Avatar movie, which I had just rewatched.

Once again, I don’t want to make pronouncements on any deeper significance about this shape, but at least I think the shape looks definitely cool.
