Pardon me BR-549, but this is constructive criticism.
You need to highly refine your statements to clarify your propositions. Quite often, I find your posts are long winded, obscure, and I have great difficulty understanding the ideas you're trying to convey.
I suspect that you do not have a reasonable understanding of the basic physics involved in some of your propositions and you're pontificating about something you've merely heard or read about without doing an analysis. This is a classic example of the saying "A little bit of knowledge is dangerous".
My knowledge of advanced physics or biology is also very limited so I refrain from commenting on any topic on which I cannot make competent statements. Without basic knowledge, you're engaging in "Metaphysics" (rather than hard science) and it's something to be reserved for the Twilight Zone.
I am also a technical writer/illustrator and I carefully check the grammar and composition of all my statements for clarity and succinctness (conveying my thoughts with the minimal amount of rhetoric). My observation is that many science and engineering students (and graduates) lack basic writing skills and cannot convey their thoughts in an efficient manner. That's another pet peeve and I will post this on another topic.
However, your posts are still appreciated and I will attempt to reply to you in a cordial manner.
