New Theory Casually Upends Space and Time

Embrace the flow, says a duo of mechanical engineers at North Carolina State University—the flow of energy, that is. The mantra you might normally hear from your yoga instructor could be an entirely new way of looking at the universe.

The two theorists, Larry Silverberg and Jeffrey Eischen, suggest that fragments of energy, rather than waves or particles, may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe.

The bedrock of their theory is the foundational idea that energy is always flowing through space and time. The authors suggest thinking of energy as lines that enter and exit a region of space, never crossing each other, and with no beginning or end point.

"Working from the idea of a universe of flowing energy lines, we looked for a single building block for the flowing energy," Silverberg, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, writes in The Conversation. "If we could find and define such a thing, we hoped we could use it to accurately make predictions about the universe at the largest and tiniest scales."
