Filling the early universe with knots can explain why the world is three-dimensional

The paper is quite sophisticated, that much is apparent. I'd read a good deal of knot theory, and am familiar with flux tube theory. However, the notion of an expanding hadron gas giving rise to knots, in turn giving rise to 3D space is, admittedly, novel, I hadn't considered that before. I've given a good deal of thought to various approaches considered to try to physically distort spacetime for spaceflight, esp the concept of a Tipler cylinder, closed time like curves (CTCs), and the van Stockum dust solution. I'm not entirely certain how knots in spacetime would affect such theoretical approaches. I've seen knot theory applied extensively to macromolecules in solution, esp coiling of both genomic as well as protein strands. There's an entire field called discrete differential geometry (DDG) that I think could be quite relevant here, if only for the simple reason. That such knots would quite clearly seem to be discrete entities. There's also be the whole question of whether such a knot-theoretic framework would in fact be non-Abelian or not (no pun intended), as mentioned in the paper, plus, whether such a pattern of knots would, in fact, exhibit any level of supersymmetry. I've given considerable thought to the entire question of knot theory in the context of genomics, from a biological standpoint; there's been considerable research of late into what are termed adinkra graphs, representations of fermion icebox on of physics that exhibit distinct errors correcting coding characteristics very similar to genomics. I'd also recommend the paper by Konrad Zuse, on the universe as a computer program, which few recall now, though it nears quite heavily on the entire problem. Then, too, there's the whole question of whether dark matter/energy would exhibit a flux tube knotted composition, which I certainly think should also be examined, as well. I realize that the paper Jere was intended from a cosmological standpoint, however, if spaceflight by sending spacetime were to be accomplished, I wonder precisely how one would create a spacetime metric to account t for such knots, as discrete entities, modifying the research of Miguel Alcubierre of Mexico. On the whole, however, the paper is actually quite good, I want to go over it a good deal more, many thanks.

Interesting share this morning, thank you.

This is quite good....
