Rethinking Spin, Light and Gravity - Dr. Robert Close, DemystifySci #399
Dr. Robert Close, a theorist who models physics as an elastic, material substrate, outlines a picture where spin, torsion, light, charge and gravity arise from shear and rotational deformations. He discusses torsion-wave analogies, light as transverse shear waves, particles as standing-wave structures, and gravity emerging from torsion-induced compression. The conversation returns physics to mechanism and material causes.
