Personal Hypothesis: The Anti-Spacetime – A New Attempt to Understand Quantum and Cosmic Structure

Prelude: The Strangeness of Quantum Jumps

At the heart of our experience lies the strangeness of quantum behavior, where an electron does not respond to any external energy unless it arrives in the form of a photon with an exact frequency—no more, no less. The electron refuses to be excited unless the incoming energy precisely matches the gap between two energy levels. These specific jumps do not occur gradually but in abrupt leaps, as if the laws of physics operate with strict digital logic—defying the intuitive idea that a higher-frequency photon should excite the electron if a lower one can.

From this strange observation—and from a long-standing idea that occurred to me when I was young (my passion for science began in school days, even before university)—I could never accept that natural phenomena are to be explained by rote conservation laws, miracles,´-or-the claim that matter possesses consciousness. I always asked: Why? How? Even without a lab´-or-equipment, I was constantly building mental models in my mind, relying on mathematics—the universal language of the cosmos, accessible to anyone, anywhere, even in remote places lacking labs´-or-money.

I would receive a piece of information and ask: How? Why? What if? I built an entire world of imaginary models in my mind, as if simulating the lab I didn’t have. With continued study, I later realized that my questions were, in essence, similar to Planck’s problem—though his was with blackbody radiation, whereas I was asking: Why do objects appear in specific colors—blue, red, and so on? I had a particular issue with the color red in materials. I thought: if the color were blue´-or-violet (which have higher frequencies), maybe low-frequency light wouldn’t be able to excite the electron enough to jump between energy levels. Blue and violet—though violet is higher—I assumed were “brothers,” with only a small difference.

In my model, based on what we studied in high school physics, the photon lifts the electron to a second level, then the electron quickly falls back to its original level, releasing the same photon outward. The remaining photons, which can’t move the electron, merely cause vibrations that turn into heat, which the hot object gradually dissipates.

I based all of this on the law of energy conservation—that energy is neither created nor destroyed—and on the fact that sunlight contains all colors. When passing through a prism,´-or-seen in a rainbow,´-or-while mixing colors (which I’ll return to later due to childhood memories), I assumed: some photons may affect the object and reflect as a color mix.

As a child, I worked with my father, a sign painter. Before digital -print-ing took over the market, he used to make many signs by hand. We mixed paints ourselves to get unavailable colors—especially when we only had basic colors´-or-white with something else. Mixing white with red´-or-blue was one of our favorite experiments. As long as we had white and red´-or-white and blue, we got pink´-or-maroon—and that was enough. Back then, signs were painted and colored by hand before computers arrived.

I assumed then: maybe low-frequency colors don’t affect matter, and higher-frequency reflections appear as color blends. But wait! Red lies at the low-frequency end. I thought maybe white lacks something, so the object appears red. Then I recalled—red is one of the "noble tribes," as I jokingly put it in my Yemeni dialect—it’s a primary color that can’t be obtained by mixing others. As I advanced in study, I discovered that quantum mechanics differs greatly from our daily intuitions. Even higher-frequency photons can’t excite electrons unless they match the energy gap exactly.

I continued studying and realized that there are two realms: classical physics and modern physics. Quantum theory marks the first sharp turn toward the latter.

But over the years, and after continuous engagement with scientific developments and quantum oddities, I never wanted to accept the idea that matter behaves as if it possesses awareness´-or-displays miracles. With ongoing study, I recognized extremely strange phenomena—and that’s where this thought experiment began. I’m still working on testing it, including trying to express it in mathematical terms. But I wanted to publish the initial idea here, and I’ll continue posting a series of updates. Perhaps another researcher is thinking along similar lines and may collaborate. But in the interest of intellectual property, the original idea is mine.

I also thought: What if I die´-or-can’t complete it due to life circumstances? Should I hide it until it’s perfect? Maybe it will never be completed—and then it would be lost forever. So I’ll publish it, hoping others can build on it´-or-connect it to other theories and scientific concepts.

For now, it’s neither proven nor disproven. If correct, it may represent a scientific leap. If not, studying it may still lead to insight—or even a solution from another angle. This has happened many times in the history of science.

Constructing the Mental Model: Between Jumps and Levels

The thought experiment came to me like this: I imagined a rectangle on the ground representing a certain energy level. Behind it was a void of the same size, representing the distance´-or-gap between this level and the next. This pattern of rectangles and voids repeats upward.

Then I imagined numerical distances—purely imaginary values like 1, then 3, then 7, for instance. Colored balls are fired from a hypothetical cannon at a constant speed (to avoid variation from manual throws), but their masses differ, representing different photon frequencies. When a ball hits an empty can (like a bean can) placed inside a rectangle, different effects occur depending on the weight inside the cans´-or-the gap size—each rectangle symbolizing a certain energy level tied to atoms.

After each rectangle, there’s a void of equal size—or we keep the size fixed and change the weights inside the cans to simulate electron binding strength and energy levels.

Multiple outcomes are possible: the ball may hit the can and fail to knock it over,´-or-barely move it. Digitally: if a photon jumps the can from level 1 to 3, the gap is 2. But photons representing 3, 4,´-or-5 fall into in-between zones—not actual levels. At 6, the electron may jump to level 7. But if level 7 is already occupied, it rebounds with surplus energy back to level 1—thus refilling level 1, and expelling the excess energy outward.

If the electron is shaken by low-frequency photons, energy accumulates gradually, like adding weight to a full tub—disturbing the water over time. This surplus appears as infrared radiation—energy spread over longer periods. But if the photon’s energy is much higher, a sudden violent splash occurs—like the tub overflowing all at once.

And when the photon s energy does not match any allowed level—a forbidden zone—it passes unnoticed, continuing its path, even through the Earth itself. What prevents us from falling through our chairs are our energy fields and the chair’s. Thus, a photon may pass through walls—or even planets—if it doesn’t collide with the rectangles I imagined in the mental model. This may help explain quantum tunneling—or in another sense, quantum superposition.

Then a thought struck me: if there’s matter and antimatter (electron/positron, proton/antiproton), why not anti-spacetime? We know that even if we remove streets, buildings, planets, and stars—what remains is still something: the field in which matter and energy emerge.

Imagine standing outside the Big Bang, watching it—but where would you stand? There is no “outside” yet. Spacetime itself forms with the expansion of the universe.

Let’s say we imagine observing the universe’s expansion from its edge. But there is no “outside.” So, what is the universe expanding into?

So what if there’s an Anti-Spacetime? Since we speak of spacetime, why not a reversed counterpart—a twin realm in which matter doesn’t behave like it does in ours? Even in measurements, we say 5 meters—but we don’t speak of -5 meters as a physical distance. Same with time—we measure 2 minutes´-or-3, not -2 minutes.

Here comes the role of Anti-Spacetime: an inverted time, perhaps explaining quantum superposition, faster-than-light phenomena,´-or-the appearance and disappearance of particles from “nothingness.”

I imagined a parallel concept to spacetime—one that entails negative dimensions.

Things exist in spacetime, but the boundaries of Anti-Spacetime are so subtle they are hard to detect. Maybe this helps explain gravity, gravitational waves, cosmic expansion, and more.

Anti-Spacetime: The Inverse Concept

Does this also include negative measurements? Negative five meters? Negative two minutes? As an alternate reality—counter-dimensions, threads, and levels forming a parallel mesh, intersecting with our reality without us -dir-ectly perceiving it.

At one point, I imagined myself observing the Big Bang from the outside—but from where? There is no “outside the universe.” Spacetime itself expands with the universe. Even standing outside its edge is meaningless. So I proposed: the universe isn’t expanding into a void, but into Anti-Spacetime—a complementary fabric filling it, akin to Einstein’s relativity theory—but extended further.

Density, Time, and the Early Universe

Every object in the universe is entangled with the fabric of Anti-Spacetime. Over time, the density of spacetime and its inverse diminishes within the expanding mixture. The more the universe expands, the more matter and energy become diluted—which explains why atoms and molecules didn’t form until later, and why the early universe was extremely dense.

We realize this idea is incomplete and may not be entirely correct—but it offers a possible framework for understanding.

The Scientific Path: Not a Belief, But Inquiry

I do not believe matter behaves as if it possesses consciousness´-or-miraculous properties. I believe every phenomenon has a possible explanation. We do not begin with belief—but with testable hypotheses. Like an investigator tracking evidence—not to confirm a conviction, but to uncover the truth.

To be continued…

In the coming sections, I will publish the mathematical models and equations I am working on—to test their compatibility with modern physics concepts—quantum theory, relativity, and others—and to assess their validity in explaining the Anti-Spacetime hypothesis. I will continue working on this project. Updates will come—not quickly, since scientific scrutiny takes time—but I am committed. Each time I finish a model´-or-equation, I will publish it.
