Welcome to the upgraded site. The new ‘Hamburger’ icons in each section open up their various subsections.
The Geometry, Topology, and Chirality of the Universe.
This crude visual aid for a private lecture on the geometry of the universe.
Shows how a sphere can stereographically project onto a plane.
(Hockey ball with many drill holes for galaxies, black paint and a torch.)
This gives a lower dimensional representation of how a hypersphere can stereographically project into a sphere. Imagine that the plane into which the sphere projects represents a plane bisecting a sphere. Although this reduced dimensional visual aid represents a hypersphere by a sphere, and a sphere by a plane, it does show how distances in a hypersphere will become exaggerated to observers who assume that they inhabit a gravitationally flat universe and deceive them into hypothesising an expansion driven by some mysterious dark energy.
See Hypersphere Cosmology equations 16 and 17 and Septblog 2024 on this site, which make a seemingly overwhelming case for the Hypersphere model of the universe.
This month’s Apophenia concerns the Chirality (handedness) of the Universe.
We can represent a Hypersphere by a Hopf Fibration which shows it as decomposed into a fibre bundle of circles each of which passes inside all of the other circles. In Hypersphere Cosmology the galaxies all Vorticitate around the circles of the Hopf Fibration. This gives the universe no net angular momentum although it allows it to conform to the Godel metric. The circles of the Hopf Fibration each pass within all of the other circles.
Few if any seem to have noticed that a hypersphere submits to two possible Hopf Fibration modes as shown in the following picture.
These keyring models lay flattened onto a surface for clarity, but in reality, the rings can lie a bit more separate from each other to form more of a spherical type of configuration.
Notice that the two Fibrations remain distinct, and we cannot superimpose them by any form of re-orientation in three dimensions, they constitute mirror images of each other. The one on the left has a Left Handed Fibration and the one on the right has a Right Handed Fibration.
Which chirality corresponds to the universe we inhabit?
Almost certainly we inhabit a universe with a Left Chiral Vorticitation - a Left Handed Universe!
The supporting evidence seems strong but kind of weird: -
1) The weak nuclear force remains exclusively left handed. All neutrinos (the simplest matter particles) rotate anticlockwise.
2) Most terrestrial chiral biomolecules show a preference for left handedness.
3) Rotating spiral galaxies all over the universe show a preference for left handed (anticlockwise) rotation.
4) Galaxies all over the universe seem predominantly aligned with respect to their nearest three neighbouring galaxies, in left handed tetrahedral orientations.
Just how the anticlockwise (left handed) vorticitation of the entire universe could induce these mysterious microcosmic, midi-cosmic, and macrocosmic symmetry breakages remains an interesting question, yet it seems a fair bet to predict from Hypersphere Cosmology that this universe has a Left-Chiral Vorticitation. It will however probably take a lot of long timescale observation of the relative movements of far distant galaxies and some heavyweight computer analysis to confirm this.
Topology clarification. The keyring models of the Hopf Fibration do perhaps not make the left or right twists of the fibre bundle entirely apparent. We can easily make it more apparent with three pieces of string. Three pieces of string can represent the spacetime world lines of three bodies in a hypersphere.
So, flip one piece of card over twice in the same direction to rotate it by 360 degrees and then free the ends from the cards and tie them together. This makes three interlinked circles, showing how within a hypersphere all particles and bodies move along great circles which (over vast timescales) all pass within each other.
It works with any number of strings, and the result looks oddly similar to various mystical figures from the Vesica Piscis to various Celtic and Tibetan knotwork designs.

FLAT UNIVERSE THEORY DEAD!
BIG BANG THEORY TRASHED!
HYPERSHHERE COSMOLOGY VALIDATED!
Herewith the results of plotting 732 data points of Type 1a Supernova redshift and apparent magnitude distance, dawn from the Wolfram data depository: -
https://datarepository.wolframcloud.com/resources/Type-Ia-Supernova-Data/
In this diagram, we have calculated flux luminosity of Supernovae from measured Apparent Magnitudes and used the inverse square principle to derive Apparent Distances. This creates the blue points which seem to show that distances start to climb far beyond the Hubble Radius as redshifts rise past z = 0.6. The supernovae have high magnitudes which means they seem far too faint and hence appear strangely far away. This has led to the curious theoretical ‘fix’ of adding an accelerating expansion to the standard cosmological model, driven by some mysterious ‘dark energy’.
Hypersphere Cosmology attributes the huge Apparent Distances to Hyperspherical Lensing in which the small positive curvature of a universe finite and unbounded in space and time causes us to observe it in Stereographic Projection. In other words, these seemingly vast distances arise as an optical illusion in a spacetime that has a small curvature to it arising from its own gravity. When we apply a correction for this optical illusion, we obtain the Actual Distances shown by the orange points. (see equations 16 and 17)
From this we can easily see that at redshift z =1, which corresponds to halfway to Antipode, supernovae lie at 6E+25 metres from an observer, and that the Hypersphere of the Universe thus has an antipode distance of 1.2E+26 meters or 13 billion light years, and that a calculations of antipode distance from any of the Actual Distance points gives a value fairly close to this. The points shown cluster around ideal curves rather than lie exactly on them because of the known uncertainties and inaccuracies in magnitude measurements. We can measure redshifts to a much higher degree of certainty and accuracy.
Remarkably, applying the correction for hyperspherical lensing restores the relationship between redshift and distance that Hubble derived for low redshift galaxies. Hypersphere cosmology attributes this relationship to the small positive curvature of the universe which gives rise to a deceleration A which acts on light in transit. (see equation 6)
In Hypersphere Cosmology the small positive curvature of the universe gives rise to both cosmological redshift and hyperspherical lensing. The hypotheses of a gravitationally ‘flat’ universe expanding from a big bang and then undergoing an accelerating expansion become unnecessary, and most likely wrong. We should always seek the most simple and economical explanations.

Politics
The exemplary sentences handed out to those convicted of offences in the recent anti-immigration protests certainly seem to say something interesting about Judicial Independence in the UK.
Our glorious new labour government has wasted no time in paying off its trade union legions with other people’s money. We can expect it to levy swingeing taxes on the relatively wealthy elderly at the forthcoming budget. The labour party doesn’t seek the votes of the old because they have long memories of past labour governments.

Cosmology News - JADES-GS-z14-0. The crises in Cosmology continue to multiply, this object should not exist according to the current conventional theory.
The Big-Bang LCDM model now seems in deep trouble, the post big bang cosmic dark ages it predicted seem to have almost disappeared.
On the other hand, Hypersphere Cosmology predicts that galaxies at all stages of evolution will exist everywhere and everywhen in a non-expanding universe finite but unbounded in space and time, in which no big bang ever occurred.

This is Chaos. – The book. The publishers have all the manuscripts from the 15 contributors. Publication date probably July 2025 with pre-orders possible from this September. Herewith the cover design.
Starship Kargom – For Lughnasadh Eisteddfod I could not resist making this retro-futuristic fantasy creation, the universes first known example of a 3D Druid Starship, crafted from the usual beach detritus and scrap metal fittings, replete with external trilithon warp drives.
Disinformation creates widespread rioting across England and Northern Ireland.
Since at least the millennium successive British Governments and main Political Parties have become increasingly economical with the truth and heavy on failed wishful thinking. They have admitted vast numbers of Legal Immigrants into the UK and have concealed their reasons for doing so.
I do feel sorry for the police who have to field the brickbats and petrol bombs arising from bad political decisions.
Economic growth in developed countries has faltered with little prospect of it ever returning to post WW2 levels. Energy has become expensive, and globalisation has offshored manufacturing and capital to the newly resource hungry developing world. Instead of adapting to this new reality, most UK politicos have tried to maintain an illusion of growth by such myopic mechanisms as the mass importation of foreign labour to depress training and wage costs and to inflate property prices, underfunding public services, and selling off public utilities to under-investors and asset strippers.
In the UK the indigenous unskilled and semi-skilled classes have mainly borne the brunt of these policies in terms of inadequate wages, deteriorating services, poor or unaffordable accommodation, and a breakdown of social cohesion and trust. No wonder shoplifting has become rampant in some areas. A million people of working age now decline to work because the minimum wages on offer barely exceed what moderate efforts at benefit claimancy and maybe some casual interface with the grey and black economies can yield. The skilled and professional classes, property owners, and the elderly wealthy have seen growth in the value of their assets but in a country with a now decadent and stagnant economy. Thus, we become an increasingly deeply divided society.
The British narrowly voted for Brexit largely in the hope of reducing immigration but the politicos decided to interpret this by replacing EU immigrants with whom the British had much common culture, with even more commonwealth and other immigrants with whom they often have far less in common.
The issue of illegal immigrants has become a smokescreen for the legal immigration of more than ten times their number. Britain can perhaps aspire to 300K new house builds per year, but it cannot comfortably accommodate 700K legal immigrants per annum.
One in seven voters at the last general election voted for Reform UK on an explicitly anti-immigration platform, but the peculiarities of our electoral system delivered them only 5 MPs and the Labour party a huge majority. The Labour Party (for whom only a third of the electorate voted) lost about 5 seats to pro-Islamic bloc voters, ostensibly over middle eastern issues.
Branding all the protestors and rioters as Far Right Racists seems doubly disingenuous and foolish. The majority of them have angry concerns about their own prospects and angry concerns about cultures opposed to British values taking over large swathes of towns and cities particularly in the north. Culturalism rather than Racism lies at the root of this. History shows that multi-ethnic societies can work, but multi-cultural societies cannot. If these concerns remain unaddressed and demonised, then things will get worse, and those with legitimate concerns will increasingly adopt the labels slapped upon them.
Britain has absorbed and integrated many small immigrant groups over the centuries. Yet in recent decades it has permitted the immigration of very large numbers determined to maintain authority structures, lifestyles, and moralities opposed to British values. They may resist assimilation for generations.
Genuine fascism begins when the narratives of blood and soil unite. Currently the mainly white middle class UK Green Lobby ignores the ecological effects of immigration and serious overpopulation on this once green and pleasant land, as does the small mainly white working class Far Right. That climate may change, particularly as the climate itself changes.

Not a lot of time for serious abstract thinking this month due to seasonal tribal gatherings with parts of the clan from the Antipodes, the Americas, and the Scottish Highlands, leaving barely enough time for a couple of sculptures. So, in this holiday season, herewith a few oddments in lieu of serious esoteric thought: -
This is Chaos. – The book. The publishers have all the manuscripts from the 15 contributors, and I’ve seen the provisional cover design. Publication date probably July 2025 with pre-orders possible from this September.
Assassination attempt. Will the failed assassination of Donald Trump go down in history as a Sarajevo Level Event and become regarded as the trigger that made WW3 inevitable? I dunno, the UK media delight in interpreting Trump as a narcissistic, sociopathic, machiavellian untrustworthy blaggard who plays populist demagogue to the worst instincts of the American electorate. Have they missed something? If civilisation survives, will historians come to regard Donald Trump as a master of Chaos Magic? See this: -

UK Election. As the dust settles from the landslide UK general election it becomes apparent that the old truism still holds, oppositions do not win elections – governments lose them. The Labour party adopted the cunning strategy of saying almost nothing about its intentions and simply let the Conservatives dig an even bigger hole of indecisiveness and incompetence for themselves. Only one in five of the UK electorate actually voted for Labour but the plethora of other parties running, a low turnout, and the peculiarities of our first past the post voting system delivered them a huge majority. This may prove a good thing for a while, Kier Starmer need not feel himself a hostage to the wokeist, anti-Israel, LGBT, Critical Race Theorist and Green factions of the left. I doubt that he has much faith in the Dictatorship of the Proletariat but those with worthwhile assets and descendants may wish to consider dying fairly soon before Punitive Death Duties become announced. Labour seems to have pinned its hopes for economic growth on persuading private finance to invest massively in capital projects, infrastructure, and housebuilding. We tried that before under Tony Blair. It didn’t work for long, the country just ended up with a legacy of massive long term debt to private financial groups, badly built structures, and asset degraded utility companies.
It doesn’t look like Starmer will do much to reduce the UK’s dependency on the vicious circle of trying to prop up a decadent low productivity economy with massive immigration to reduce training and wage costs and to continually inflate property prices. These small islands become insanely overcrowded and the environment continues to degrade as a result.
Sculpture. Firstly, the latest in a long line of sci-fi neo-juvenilia pieces, an over the top Flagship for the Skaron fleet, bristling with improbable armaments, made from the usual recycled vape and scrap metal pieces and another lump of autoclaved aerated concrete that washed up on the beach.
Secondly, a serious item of conceptual post-modernist high art: –
‘Cracked Pedestal’ – The fragility of belief and the absence of absolute truth.
A bold and disturbing masterpiece in hand-marbled recycled antique hardwood.
Death at Chateaux Chaos. We put out kilos of birdseed each week and the number and variety of small birds visiting the feeders has climbed over the years. Then a couple of days ago this happened on the south meadow: -
A Sparrowhawk came for lunch. We just managed to take a pic before it took off carrying something small and feathered, hopefully not one of the rare Nuthatches. I have only ever seen one wild Sparrowhawk before, but it seems that the more we degrade the UK’s rural habitats, the more the wildlife seeks suburban sanctuary.

Holidays, family visits, seasonal horticulture and aquaculture at Chateaux Chaos, correspondence, and a couple of unfinished sculptures have consumed much of this month, so just a few thoughts on various matters: -
Ontology and Fundamentals.
Presently we only seem to have achieved Quantum Epistemology. We have formulae and mathematics which can predict what will most likely occur in the quantum domain apparently underlying reality. Whilst such formulae predict what measurements we will probably get, they give us no adequate words or pictures to describe what ‘really’ goes on down there. The universe seems composed of phenomena which do not behave like ‘things’ at all.
Can we even have an Ontology about anything truly fundamental? Perhaps human language prevents this if it remains confined to the ‘Subject, Verb, and Object’ grammar of thought.
We cannot actually perceive ‘being’. We can only perceive doings, similarities, and differences. From these we abstract the convenient fiction that phenomena have some sort of underlying being separate from their observable doing. This perhaps creates a conceptual barrier to finding an ontology of anything fundamental.
Can we have a better but Non-Fundamental Quantum Ontology? Atomic theory for example looks like an adequate but non-fundamental ontology, Nobody disputes that matter consists of atoms, the theory works so well that almost everyone accepts the ontological reality of atoms, but we account for their varying properties and doings in terms of their constituent protons, neutrons, and electrons. We no longer regard atoms as fundamental. Electrons along with photons and neutrinos still seen fundamental but protons and neutrons seem to have to have bits in them called quarks to account for their properties.
If we do come to regard some quanta (or quantum fields) as fundamental, can we account for their activities in any meaningful way without ascribing both being and doing to them as the grammar of our thought seems to demand, without implying an unlimited causal regress?
Cosmology News.
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/JADES-GS-z14-0
The James Webb Space Telescope has just spotted the most distant galaxy yet with a redshift of z = 14.32 which in terms of the standard LCDM cosmology model locates it at just 290 million years after a supposed big bang 13.4 billion years ago. That seems a remarkably brief period in cosmological terms for a substantial galaxy to form. The previously predicted cosmic dark age of about a billion years in duration before stars and galaxies formed and ignited has shrunk by at least two thirds. The JWST has the capacity to observe up to about z = 20, and astronomers now expect it to see galaxies all the way to the limits of its observation. In the Hypersphere Cosmology paradigm, a redshift of z =14.32 indicates a distance of 93.5% of the way to an antipode at 13 billion light years.
https://www.specularium.org/hypersphere-cosmology
The JWST does not have the power to spot galaxies all the way back to the fog of the CMBR and hence to falsify LCDM in favour of HC, but it certainly casts more doubt on the conventional standard model. Perhaps only very high power radio astronomy that can peek behind the CMBR and detect even more highly redshifted galactic light will confirm the Hypersphere Cosmology prediction that galaxies at all stages in their evolution exist at all points in space and time in a universe finite and unbounded in space and time.
Data Request. Hypersphere Cosmology theory depends heavily on Perlmutter’s type 1A supernovae data, now more than 20 years old. A great many new observations of type 1A supernovae have become cited in recent astronomy papers. The release of the raw data into the public domain may take some time. If anyone can help me out with access to some of it in the meantime, I will remain eternally grateful. I just need the supernovae catalogue numbers, their redshifts, and their apparent magnitudes. Hopefully such data will help confirm the Hypersphere Cosmology model and allow for a more precise calculation of the antipode distance of the universe.
I would particularly welcome data on type 1A supernovae with redshifts in excess of z = 0.8.
Dark Matter Cancelled?
This latest paper strongly supports a Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) explanation rather than a dark matter explanation for the observed galactic rotation curves.
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/06/240617173533.htm
https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.09685
Whilst ‘straight’ MOND uses a rather ad-hoc modification to existing theories of gravity, Hypersphere Cosmology can account for precisely what causes the required modification, see: -
https://www.specularium.org/hypersphere-cosmology/item/319-equation-9
Politics. The Right and the Far Right have done well in many of the EU countries in the recent elections for the European Sham Parliament. The unelected EU executive and bureaucracy will simply ignore this warning result for as long as possible and try to bumble along with its own Synarchist agenda. Yet national elections within the EU nations will eventually give similar rightward results and then the real horse trading will begin and the next batch of Eurocrats may have to start taking the views of their constituents seriously.
This rightward swing has many roots. Russia now threatens Europe militarily, America begins to tire of the expense of defending Europe. China threatens Europe economically and geopolitically. Globalisation has had a negative effect on all but the wealthiest in the developed world. The indigenous population of Europe generally fails to reproduce at replacement rate because only the relatively wealthy or the very poor can do so now without quite severe economic consequences. Strident social liberalism has provoked a backlash against the increasingly compulsory affirmation of an expanding range of identity disorders, sexual abnormalities, and acquired victimhoods. Immigration benefits only those who wish to reduce labour costs and inflate property prices. The mass importation of cultures and religions with philosophies inimical to European values erodes social cohesion.
Britain faces all these problems as well, and we will soon have a national general election which the Conservative party will probably lose badly. Yet this does not seem to imply an exceptionalist lurch to the left. The Labour party has hastily repositioned itself to the centre and an electorate exasperated with the incompetence and lack of real conservatism from the Conservative party will probably reluctantly chose Labour. Reform UK may well emerge from this election as the surviving custodian of British Conservative values. They do at least have an invigorating manifesto and they might even get to implement it following the election after this one.
https://www.reformparty.uk/our-contract-contents
Unfortunately, Reform’s environmental policies seem deeply unsound. All the main parties promise economic growth but that seems vanishingly unlikely to occur unless some massive source of cheap energy comes onstream now that the 20th century fossil fuelled boom winds down. Thus, they all tell porkies and choosing between them becomes a depressing task because you know they can only really offer redistribution, which for Labour means levelling down.
Plus, the boardgame of Monopoly has led the UK disastrously astray. I love boardgames but I absolutely loathe the game of Monopoly for its tedium and its nonsensical economics. It has taught generations of Britons that property makes wealth better than enterprise does. Try playing it without the absurdity of collecting £200 every time you pass Go, for doing nothing.
