Waves ARE 3D."
Waves exist is multiple states, but I explained that last time there was a whole physics debate and got shot down by everyone who said they didn't understand the text. Therefore cause they didn't and they couldn't find anything on wikipedia they understood about it then obviously there was no way I could.
Shame about having a PhD after your name for Physics and people still fully believing that Wikipedia has all the answers and if you contradict it (cause it's law) your the one in the wrong. Perhaps people should read the note on each article where it states "some of the information contained within is theory with no proven thesis" or some such.
Anyhow, as far as Gravity goes.. it was Hawkin who create the existance of the "Darkmatter" particle that exists just outside of out state yet holds the universe together. Not going to argue about if they exist because they do, but their purpose however is still a complete mystery as we can currently only measure their existance in very specific circumstances.
Gravity itself shouldn't be seen as something that is set in stone however. Something the scientific community has known for decades, is that gravity is actually a causality partical (aka Friendly or Attraction) where by it producers larger effects in larger numbers.
The affect curve for it is approx. 9x(8^19) which in sub-atomic terms is ridiculously weak, but unlike other affect curves when you have more than one gravity field interacting they will expand themselves causing the atoms they exist within to also pull together. This then makes a larger field.
Anyone who has done electro-magnetic research and study at school will know this sounds quite familiar because the more coils you make on an em will also cause the strength of the field to expand on an exponencial curve.
The thing that baffles some scientists (who appear to the the ones in charge of "the rules" for how physics works) is that gravity will pull atoms in a seemingly inconsistant mannor. For example water has a constant 9.8n that seems to keep it on the ground, yet steam this becomes closer to 1.0n simply due to the excited atoms.
However it is more likely that what is happening is because of changing state gravity no longer has a stranglehold due to the fact it has changed it's make up.
Magnets once again show another similarity with this fact as they only affect a certain type of material. If you attribute this to gravity as well, you can quickly understand why gases for example have less affect. This is on-top of the density of a particle which obviously plays a role, but then again as mentioned above that is more down to the field being weaker around them.
At some point though there is an astrangement where they actually become repellant; for example if you fall in the water provided you have oxygen still in large amounts you will float as long as the rest of your body isn't weighing it down. With that you can clearly see that gravity is not only a local affectant but also a global one at the same time.
This goes on to suggest there are actually several forms, which we just attribute to being the same thing. It's kinda like pigeon-holing a game into a certain type..
Action Adventure - could mean any number of sub-type game, from Tomb Raider(Platformer) to Sudeki(RPG) while they do hold some key elements that both allow them to be pigeon-holed in this way; they are quite different in their own right.
Can't say realistically that this is exactly how it is, but it is part of the theory that I spent a number of years trying to proove or even disproove. As of yet more evidence in my experience has actually pointed to this being the case. Hopefully with the experiments being done over the next few months in belgium we'll be able to understand more about the inner workings of it all.
