While the "osmosis" metaphor offers a creative conceptual bridge for the hierarchy problem, it remains a highly speculative narrative that lacks the rigorous mathematical derivation required to truly advance M-theory.

The Cosmic Osmosis Hypothesis: Proposed Expansion to M-TheoryAdded:
Hello, hello. Welcome back to the fourth video on this channel.
Um in this one, we're going to be talking about some physics.
Uh we're going to dive like pretty deep into it immediately. We're going to be discussing um yeah, a version of M-theory, which is a continuation of string theory. We'll be you know, discussing all the technicals later. We won't be getting too deep mathematically, but um the majority of this video is just a hypothesis that I came up with a few months ago. Just uh kind of throwing stuff at the wall, seeing what sticks, you know. Really, I have some math for it, but it's like it's kind of offensive to call it math, honestly.
It's just, you know, just explaining it in mathematical terms, just so it looks fancy. So, I have a load of draft paper that I'm not going to use as a script, obviously, cuz that'd be really boring.
But, we are going to be discussing it in total. And so, uh let's begin with my hook segment of my script. So, uh in biology, osmosis is the force that keeps cells alive.
It's a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution to a to a more concentrated one, which um equalizes the concentrations on each side.
Uh scientists have struggled for decades with two massive physics problems in modern physics. Um these two are why is gravity so incredibly weak to other forces, and the other being why is vacuum space pushing itself apart at an accelerating rate.
Mhm. All right, so the name of these terms, well, actually, let's get into the first one. Why is gravity so weak? I'll use an example.
This is called the hierarchy problem, cuz, you know, the hierarchy of the the fundamental forces. Um so, why can, say, a Cookie Monster fridge magnet overpower Earth's gravity? Why doesn't it fall to the floor? Why is magnetism at such a small level so much stronger?
And why is a force literally called the weak force stronger than gravity?
That's That's one big issue. Second big issue is the cosmological constant problem, which is um also called the vacuum catastrophe.
Uh it's a massive discrepancy up to 1 to the 120th orders of magnitude between the predicted energy density of empty space coming from quantum field theory and the observed small positive value of the cosmological constant um accelerating in the universe expansion. This match mat- this mismatch is considered the worst theoretical prediction in physics history.
And in this video, we're going to be exploring an exploration of M-theory um through a hypothesis um that I call the cosmic osmosis hypothesis. The hypothesis build off the uh Randall-Sundrum or RS model of M-theory, which will be explained momentarily. And when we refer to the Randall-Sundrum Yeah, Randall-Sun- I'm butchering your name. I'm so sorry.
Um but Randall-Sundrum model, we're going to be referring it to as the RS model for just simplicity.
So, to begin, let's talk about where this model comes from.
Uh the cosmic osmosis hypothesis takes place in, like I said earlier, an M-theory universe.
M-theory is a theoretical framework in physics that unifies all five uh superstring theories and proposes an 11-dimensional universe, which incorporates strings and higher-dimensional objects called brains.
Um the large aspects of this is I got a whiteboard for this.
Is the brains. Brain spelled b r a n e.
Not, you know, this guy.
But, it is two Also, the 11 is for physical dimensions.
Uh, we are in a uh three physical dimension universe. You know, we have the three physical dimensions. And then, if you hear that we're in a 4D universe, the fourth dimension they're referring to is time.
So, you know.
11-dimensional brain, that is called the bulk. Um, that is You can imagine us like a marble um, in this in the M-theory.
You know, M in M-theory. Uh, we are >> [clears throat] >> We're like a marble in a balloon. The balloon being the 11-dimensional brain, and obviously us as the marble in the three-dimensional brain.
I'll explain what all these lines mean.
I kind of did. I take it this video earlier, and so I just went at it. But, I'll also be putting up probably images around the screen later on.
I'd also like to say that when we speak about gravity in this video, for the majority of the time, we will be talking about the theorized graviton, which is a hypothetical quantum of gravitational energy, which is regarded to as a particle.
Traditional M-theory models, such as the RS model, um, traditional models, such as the RS model, the RS framework, says that gravity is so weak because it leaks out of a universe through uh tiny Planck-sized holes.
So, our universe being the three brain, uh, gravity, or the gravitons, will leak out of our universe through little plank-sized holes um going into the 11-dimensional brane.
Um this is a hypothetical solution to the hierarchy problem saying that the reason gravity is so weak is because it is leaking out of the three-dimensional brane into the 11-dimensional bulk or the 11-dimensional brane. But for the most part, we'll be referring to this as just the bulk.
The cosmic osmosis hypothesis suggests that if stuff is leaking out, stuff is also leaking in.
Um the hypothesis says that there are theorizers that there are pores at the edge of the three-dimensional brane, same ones that leak the gravitons out.
Um and they are plank scale, which is the smallest possible size in physics.
Um because the bulk is packed with high-density vacuum energy and our universe is relatively empty of said energy, the energy naturally flows the energy naturally flows into our universe to balance pressure, hence the osmosis and the cosmic sense, you know, dealing with cosmos here.
To turn this idea or to turn this hypothesis into leaking energy in a physical model, uh we use the concept of transdimensional pressure.
Uh in your typical classroom environment or just studying osmosis, um you study the movement of you know, solvents across a semipermeable membrane to each other um through a potential uh sorry, through a concentration gradient. In this model, the movement is driven by a potential gradient between the high energy density of the bulk, which will be represented as P bulk, and then in the lower density four-dimensional universe or three physical dimension, just like to clarify that, um universe that we live in would be would be represented as this. So, in the equations we see throughout, this is just the um pressure in the bulk, and this is just the vacuum pressure in our three-dimensional three physical dimensional universe.
I will likely throw a more formal, you know, photo of the formula up. But, right now, the uh main formula for the expansion is labeled as P trans equals kappa uh rho bulk minus rho OBS.
Um what this These two uh rho bulk and rho OBS, rho is just the proper term for the P.
But, at times I'll probably just call it P.
Um these represent the vacuum energy density of the 11-dimensional bulk versus our observed three-dimensional space. Because the bulk's energy is so much higher, it creates a push in our universe.
When the energy of the 11-dimensional bulk, P bulk, comes into ours, um it's the push. So, just the subtraction, you know, is the push. The K is pronounced kappa or copper, one of the two. I think kappa. Um and it's a coupling constant. Uh this is a the gatekeeper and it represents how easily energy can move based on our based on the brain tension represented as a lowercase sigma, which I'll pop up on screen or highlight, of one of those Planck scale pores.
Um if the brain is tight or pretty closed, uh or the pores are small, the copper kappa is low, and energy uh trickles in slowly.
But, how much energy actually coming through? Well, we call this the flux. Uh you can think of this as the flow rate of the energy.
Uh in this formula that is put on screen, um the n poise is the density of those Planck scale apertures or poise across fabric of space.
And the the L squared uh And beside it is the area of each individual pore at the Planck scale, which is 10 to the -35 m.
Uh V flow is the inflow velocity of how fast the vacuum energy is rushing in, which is driven by that gradient that we mentioned earlier.
Um Q is the part of the theory that covers the cosmological constant problem.
Usually the energy density that we observe is billions of times smaller than that of that that quantum physics says it should be.
Uh cosmic osmosis suggests that the expansion of our universe is directly proportional to this inflow, um which is represented by this equation.
This equation is saying that the expansion of our universe is directly proportional to its inflow, which is represented as the flux and the um transdimensional pressure that we got from the first equation. And as energy flows into our lower density universe, the internal pressure increases. To maintain this equilibrium and keep the uh {quote} you know, in the utmost term, the cell, which our universe, from bursting, the universe performs the mechanical work by just expanding.
Um this means that the cosmological constant isn't a fixed number, but it's just an emerging property. It's it's more liquid. It can moves.
Um which is represented by this equation.
Um the three is for the three-dimensional universe that we're in.
And by tying dark energy to this transdimensional exchange rather than a static value. We explain why it's so small. It's simply limited by the pore size, the tension of a universe's membrane.
So, how does this fit with the Randall-Sundrum or the RS model that we mentioned earlier?
In the RS model, the extra dimension is warped. This warping is what prevents our universe from being instantly flooded by the bulk's energy.
Um I'm avoiding the conversation of anti-de Sitter space for, you know, simplicity, but I could make a video or a short, you know, YouTube short on it if you guys would like to do a brief overview of that.
Um but it's just the geometry of the universe.
Um the M-theory universe. And in our hypothesis, this warping acts like an exponential filter. It suppresses the inflow velocity or V-flow um by allowing it just enough energy to drip into the tiny amount of dark energy that we see today.
Um it turns the 120 order of magnitude uh the mismatch of that that we talked about earlier in standard physics into a simple balancing act between the two different dimensions.
Hence the uh the cosmo-osmosis. And so, that's the the gist of the theory.
It's not too sound yet, but it's getting there.
Um when I, you know, finalize the paper more in a bit of time, I will probably put a link to it on my YouTube channel or some something of the sorts.
But that is the video for us today.
