Dynamic Universe

A brief introduction to the Dynamic Universe theory

Suntola is a Finnish physicist, who is best known as the inventor and developer of atomic layer deposition (ALD). He was awarded the Millennium Technology Prize in May 2018 for this invention, which has enabled more efficient, smaller and lower energy microprocessors and memory chips, and thus pocket-sized computers (smartphones). However, for many years Suntola has been focusing on something very different, namely developing a ‘Dynamic Universe’ (DU) theory as a new framework for physics.

The basic idea of DU is that if one describes the three-dimensional space as the ‘surface’ of a four-dimensional ball, the dynamics of space as a whole can be solved, and any local state of motion and gravitation in space can be related to the motion and gravitation of space as a whole. Relativity appears as a direct consequence of the conservation of the total energy in space, and so, for example, atomic clocks in motion or near mass centers run slower because part of their energy is bound to the local motion or gravitation. We wish to stimulate critical yet constructive analysis of DU’s theoretical structure and empirical adequacy and explore how it can be linked to the investigations of the other participants.
