Conclusion
Conclusion
The incorporation of eternity into a cosmology produces very different physical cosmology to the conventional one. And even though it may have the same mathematics of quantum mechanics and relativity, its description of the origins of randomness in particle paths and phenomena such as nonlocality differs from current views. Eternity becomes a significant source of energy and is pervasive throughout life and non-life.
Spacetime becomes a lattice of spherical spacetime quanta interspersed with the formless energy of eternity. Spherical quanta have a single minimum length and time in all directions. The quanta condense from the formless energy of eternity and are drawn into a lattice by a negative pressure from the energy, acting under the principle of least action. Formation of the lattice provides the spacetime into which the energy of eternity can flow and gain form and mass. This would be a uniformly distributed process followed by a universal inflation rapidly reduced to current levels by gravity of the newly emerging mass.
The formation of the lattice is distinctly different from conventional concepts of spacetime. The quanta that provide the paths for elementary particles and their interactions constitute only about 70 per cent of the lattice. The remainder is occupied by the undifferentiated energy of eternity, which constitutes a large contribution to the total mass of the universe. Being constrained by the interstitial structure of the lattice, this energy loses some of its aspatial nature, but may retain sufficient atemporal properties to provide the means for non-local interactions such as observed in experiments with entangled particles.
I have sketched out a theory of wave-particle interactions in which the interstitial energy provides a guiding wave that corrects the deviations of particles moving through the lattice, steering them along the proper path. The action provides an explanation of the origin of wave-particle phenomena observed in twin-slit experiments, and of the principle of least action.
The concept of a quantized spacetime lattice can account for relativistic time dilation, the warping of spacetime by mass, the steering of mass by spacetime, and the formation of gravitationally collapsed objects. For this reason, I suggest that the concept of spacetime interwoven with eternity is an approach worth further study.

I think those of you who read this will be amused by its presumption. However, it is my modest hope that this theory may be considered for inclusion in the list of 100 best theories of everything published in 2016. Bear in mind, without eternity it’s no theory of everything. RGP.
