The Universum Model

1. The Shape of Everything
   Exploring a non-infinite universe — its ultimate liminocentric form, where edge and center are everywhere and top and bottom are real.
2. Reconsidering Universal Expansion
   Is cosmic expansion a century old misinterpretation? What if cosmic redshift is a record of cumulative structural contrast and differentiation, rather than an expanding universe?
3. The Ages of the Universe, Galaxies, and Stars Without Expansion
   If our universe isn't expanding, then distant galaxies and stars may be younger than we think. How could we know?
4. The Eternal, Cyclic Universe
   A reinterpretation of our universe's evolution: how it began, what drives its development, and its fate. A new cyclic cosmology model where our universe is part of many in an endless cosmic cycle.
5. The Ground-Structure
   Exploring the underlying foundational structure of reality. Far from a true vacuum or aether, this dynamically balanced Ground structure exists everywhere — within and around all things.
6. Resolving the Vacuum Catastrophe
   A reinterpretation of the vacuum energy discrepancy: the Universum model distinguishes latent vacuum structure from emergent cosmic dynamics, resolving the so-called vacuum catastrophe without invoking dark energy.
7. Black Holes and Singularities
   The possibility that structural feedback within a black hole core prevents infinite gravitational collapse and opposing forces equal out.
8. Particles: Ground State Fluctuations and Fermions
   A re-interpretation of quantum ground state fluctuations, fermion particles and the double-slit experiment.
9. Particles: Fermion Types, Properties. The Weak and Strong Force
   A re-interpretation of fermion types and their properties, including the weak and strong force and antiparticles.
10. Particles: Photons, Bosons and Electromagnetism
    A re-interpretation of photons and other bosons, electric current, magnetic fields and why particles attract and repel.
11. EM Radiation and Gravitational Waves
    Both electromagnetic and gravitational waves travel at the speed of light, c. We explain why — and how both oscillations arise from the same unified 'field'.
12. Conclusion
    The Universum model aims to simplify and unify quantum and classical reality. Is this unique model a "Theory of Everything"? How does it answer many of our biggest questions?
