The universe is flat because it's a flat screen tv set.

All the information
all the color of light
all the light particles
are projected on a flat screen...

so, of course the universe is flat...

but it has *absolutley* nothing to do with ...inflation.


or the price of tea in china.

Now, if you take the flat universe, ...and stand on it --
the first thing you'll notice that it's...slippery.

The cosmological constant:
is a mathematical infinitesimal!

That's non-zero, but only over the 
entire space.

We need a theory of real numbers 
with real infinitesimals for that.

Mathematics _owes_ physics.

Notice:  to fit, the cosmological constant:
is greater than zero, yet less than any 
positive real, a mathematical infinitesimal!

This holds up the tent without it blowing away!

So, the key between those two, for a 
mathematical physics and no more "the Borg 
did it", demands a mathematical theory 
of infinitesimals in real scalar values.
(This, vis-à-vis "scale" and "gauge" invariance, 
also for both of those.)

Then this also gets into usual notions of 
the running constants and which one of them 
is infinity.

"The cosmological constant's real 
value is a real mathematical infinitesimal."

That is so obvious that 
a lot of physicists have 
already considered it.



So, where is the writeup that shows 
otherwise physicists aren't earning their pay?

I refuse to conclude that other physicists 
can't also see this.  So, I'm looking for a physicist 
that is also a mathematician that is building an 
alternative (to the modern standard) system 
of mathematical infinitesimals as suitable for 
physics, in the explanation of what value the 
cosmological constant has.

Rather, I'm looking for another physicist who is 
also a mathematician who is building a system 
in the mathematical foundations for the physical 
foundations (and the mathematical physics).

I got one right here!

You know how I feel about that?

Great!

His deafening silence is an ovation.

Neither or both:  pick one.  (We know it's 
one or the other, also each, here this is both, 
non-zero and non-zero, from above and below.)


What we have from the grand modern 
experiments is that the cosmological 
constant is a mathematical infinitesimal.

That's Einstein's _greatest_ blunder.

And it is my persuasion too. That physics is not real and, really, the universe dances to the laws of the integers (a paraphrase of Inception).

Of course, this is crank stuff to the mainstream, but why should nature have any clue as to gauge invariance?

Well, my answer is simply that it is forced to by the laws of integers. So, the laws, so far, look good, they work very well, we have cracked it to many decimal points of precision, but then so too did Newtonian physics once, and then Special relativity (for a universe with no mass). Since QED, circa 1970s, for 30+ years now we have had a physical problem going beyond the Standard Model, and I don't think this situation will change without something radical.

Why should 'nature' have any idea about physics? Unless your AP of course, then it is the converse, but that is just....

Forget infinitesimal, just reduce nature to a smallest unit, and them add some primitive, number theoretic laws.

The "Planck length" as shortest distance is 
a "running constant":  in ratio and balance 
to the related constants as 1/oo = 0.

The key feature of real mathematical infinitesimals 
that look just like the raw differential, are: 
that putting the points in a line, the integral of 
the constant monotonic staircase from zero to one:
is not 1/2 as the triangle would be, but 1!

There are actually results in the numbers already!

In a mathematical physics, these exist.

This uses Cantor's results to show that the 
continuous line segment is _drawn_, and actually 
_builds_ a continuous function instead of defining 
one, for continuum analysis and the continuum 
mechanics as then support mathematical physics.

I don't know where you get this idea of a "real mathematical
infinitesimals"...
it isn't real first of all..
mathematical is not physics or physical..
and infinitesimals break down to where
you can no longer apply math or physics.

You're entering...The Twilight Zone.

This is a study in mathematical foundations.

Continuum analysis is the bedrock of continuous 
systems, as they are.  Here there _are_ relevant 
features of the mathematically infinitesimal, 
that are extra- the standard, while still fulfilling 
all usual classical notions of the integral calculus 
and etcetera for the continuum mechanics.

This is another of these "Theories from Nothing" 
of a "Mathematical Universe Hypothesis" so popular 
these days as of Tegmark, Krauss, etc., here with 
that the foundations support more features of the 
real numbers (the numbers of the linear continuum).

The cosmological constant is:  an infinitesimal.  
(Its "value" as a "real" value, between zero and 
one in the real numbers on the real number line, 
is mathematically infinitesimal and as gauged, or 
scaled, to the "infinite" that is the unbounded 
surrounds.)  This is pretty simple from the "gedanken" 
or "thought experiments" as so establishing this 
from first principle / final cause.

Then, where the drawing of the line has a most 
interesting and at first surprising effect, with 
one- and two-sided points "in" or "on" the line, 
it looks like this would also add up for a variety 
of other factors where the measurement/observer 
effect results from action.

The "line" function or "natural/unit equivalency 
function" or "sweep", or "range", sees a constructive 
development of a continuous function, in mathematics 
first, then for mathematical physics.  It's shown that 
ran(EF) is countable and also onto the unit line segment.
(It's also shown that it is uniquely so among functions, 
that it is _the_ "drawing" of the line segment.)

Actually, we're "leaving" the "Twilight Zone", as it were.

I'd be as happy as "Philo T. Farnsworth" for 
inventing "television":  "General Electric" 
has founded quite an industry from it.

Now on Channel One!

Somebody else should have already found this, 
(from the collective attention of mathematicians)
but, I have been looking and this is what I found.

And, physicists have been looking for a proper 
mathematical infinitesimal pretty much since 
Einstein's inclusion of the factor: toward 
unification.

So:  what is the value of the cosmological constant?

What are you talking about? Einstein never completed ...unification.

So, the laws, so far, look good, they work very well, we have cracked it to many decimal points of precision, but then so too did Newtonian physics once, and then Special relativity (for a universe with no mass). Since QED, circa 1970s, for 30+ years now we have had a physical problem going beyond the Standard Model, and I don't think this situation will change without something radical.

It's around 10^-25 to atoms or the Democritan,
around 10^-50 to Planck length, with 10^-50 to the 
superstrings, which is another fabric of 
infinitesimals underneath the aether (bear 
with me here) to parlay the space dimensions 
to fit into the one dimension of a continuum, 
storing the other two dimensions in the 
infinite and infinitesimal (instead of having 
three for each as to establish their product, 
those spaces).

That's another story, about open and closed 
superstrings as also mathematical infinitesimals,
like these 1- and 2-sided points on the line, 
in a sense as self-similarity, but down to the 
least resources to establish the span.  (This is 
for all of space-time as written to one continuum.)

It's vanishing and non-zero, the cosmological constant.

One of Einstein's greatest accommodations is that 
it's non-zero.  One might wonder he felt it a blunder, 
only as there wasn't the mathematics to write it.

So, Planck has infinitesimal constants, Einstein's is 
an infinitesimal constant, and superstrings are also so.

Mathematics _owes_ physics what these can be, for why 
they are so.

This is where it is established:  there are features 
in effect _of the numbers_ (here in the infinitesimal 
as of mathematical points in or on a mathematical line) 
that would automatically build systems of mathematical 
physics, where the values are effectively "real infinitesimals".

Less rules, more results.

Unification or a "Theory of Everything", some would also 
have this follow from rigorously formal "effects in numbers".

Example:  over time, NIST CODATA results do not settle 
but reduce with higher energy experiment.  That's a feature 
in effect of configuration of experiment, atoms are smaller 
the closer you look.

How many atoms in a mole?  Avogadro's "running constant" many.

Similarly, the bigger the telescope, the bigger the universe 
is measured to be.

These are of among a variety of apocryphal effects explained by 
geometric mutations in the large and small as of the underlying 
mathematical objects, and the effect of discretization as picking, 
or counting, the point on the line, of the points in the line, as 
so numbered.  (This has numbering beneath counting to complement 
the usual foundational development of counting.)

I see the universe being saddle shaped.Goes with my CONCAVE & CONVEX THeory  TreBert
