Much of my theory is described with math.  You need to read my book.

The standard model does all that, too.

 

 The only force in the Universe is the Coulomb force.  And there is no strong 
force.  I never understood the electroweak force.  There is a force of gravity 
but  only my theory explains how gravity is produced.  It is Coulomb forces 
that hold atomic nuclei together.  My model explains how Black Holes produce 
gravity.  It provides a logical explanation of inflation and provides a simple 
description of what preceded the Big Bang and n easily understandable 
prediction of the future of our Universe and how it will end.  

 

What I really cannot understand is how you can be so sure that I am wrong when 
you have refused to even read my book and study my calculations.  I had the 
impression that a goal of this chat group was to find a “theory of everything” 
that would be a simple understandable theory that would explain all of nature.  
Stephen Hawking has written that current theories do not do that.  Do you 
believe that Dr. Hawking was incorrect?  I repeat my offer to send you a free 
copy of my book.  I do not expect that you will change your mind.  But who 
knows for sure. 

 

The problem is that your theory doesn't explain a whole load of things, at 
least not in a precise way (i.e. with mathematics).

For example...

Quantum theory explains in great detail the nature of matter - it provides 
equations which can be used to predict to great numerical precision lots of 
previously unexplained features of atoms and their constituents. Some examples 
have been given already - the Casimir effect, the Lamb shift and the magnetic 
moment of the electron. Of course quantum mechanics also explains how electron 
shells work in atoms and how nuclei work and so on, not to mention "spooky" 
effects like the Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky effect, Bell's inequality and the 
two-slit experiment. QM has given us transistors, lasers, etc, and is 
responsible for a lot of the stuff we enjoy in the 21st century - iPads, PCs, 
smartphones and so on.

 

General relativity explains gravitational lensing, gravitational waves, 
perihelion advance, the gravitational redshift and black holes (charged, 
rotating, and non-rotating). That is to say it provides equations which 
describe all of these phenomena, and in several cases predicted their existence 
long before they were discovered. These equations have held up whenever they 
have been tested, plus they make surprising predictions. A rival theory should 
at least do as much...

And that's what Stephen Hawking is talking about. He is pointing out that GR 
and QM are incompatible, a fact which is only obvious under extreme conditions 
(like near black holes). Hence he is saying we need a deeper theory, one which 
correctly predicts all the phenomena explained by general relativity and 
quantum mechanics (and perhaps goes on to make other, preferably surprising 
predictions). By this he means a theory with a well-defined ontology - it 
should tell us what space-time and mass-energy are - and which also gives us 
some equations derived from whatever basic assumptions it makes, which can be 
used to at least retrodict all the phenomena explained by GR and QM, possibly 
as limiting cases (it would be especially nice if it predicted some deviations 
from GR/QM which could be measured, as GR predicted deviations from Newtonian 
gravitation that were measured (a) retroactively, for the perihelion advance of 
Mercury and (b) predictively, for the bending of starlight near a lage mass.

So far I haven't seen anything like that sort of level of detail in the Ross 
model. Where your make claims about the nature of space and time, for example, 
you appear to be going back to something Newtonian, but without providing 
equations derived from your model that would explain why that should be 
expected to work. I haven't seen any attempt to explain the well-known 
phenomena that GR explains so well - gravitational radiation from neutron 
stars, for example. If you intend to explain gravity via some exotic mechanism, 
you need to do so in a manner that covers all these observed phenomena, and (of 
course) does so not just with words but mathematically, because as discussed 
elsewhere, it is (so far) our experience that only maths works for describing 
the universe accurately.

As things stand, I don't think Prof Hawking would see the Ross model as the 
answer he's looking for.
