Our Dual Charge Universe

There is a basic fact concerning the universe which underlies everything that is. It is also one of the primary ways that the universe can be defined as what it is, in comparison and contrast to what it might have been.

Our universe is a dual-charge universe. Everything about the universe revolves around the fact that there are two electric charges, which are equal and opposite. We know these two charges as negative and positive. Like charges always repel one another, just as opposite charges attract.

These two charges are at the most basic level of physical reality in the universe. My cosmological theory defines space as a vast checkerboard of alternating infinitesimal negative and positive charges, structured in multiple dimensions. Matter is defined as any arrangement of the two charges other than this alternating checkerboard.

Have you ever wondered exactly what a dimension is? We know that it is a direction that we can move in, but there must be a deeper level at which it can be defined.

It is these two fundamental electric charges that define what a dimension in space is. In our universe, one dimension is basically a line. This is because there are two electric charges forming space, and two points are joined by a line.

What about our number system, the 1,2,3,....? We use numbers to represent the reality that we inhabit. Do you notice that the sequence of numbers forms a line? This is no coincidence, it is a manifestation of the dual-charge universe.

There can be geometric shapes in multiple dimensions, but these shapes are composed of the same one-dimensional lines. No matter how we look at it, reality is a reflection of the fact that the universe is composed of two electric charges that are equal and opposite.

Suppose that there were more than two charges composing the universe, and that these charges were equal and opposite in the same way that our negative and positive charges are.

If there was only one charge in the universe, a dimension would be a point rather than a line. There could be no matter as we know it, because matter is concentrations of charges held together by opposite charge attraction with it's positioning governed by both attraction and like-charge repulsion. There would be no electromagnetic waves because there would be no matter to move in order to create waves. Even if there was, there would be no waves unless a charge attracted or repeled other electric charges when it moved. Neither could there be a number system like ours.

The nature of a single-charge universe would depend on the relationship between the like charges. If they mutually repelled, the universe would be continuously expanding but getting more sparse. If they mutually attracted, the universe would contract into nothing.

If there were three equal and opposite charges, what we perceive as two dimensions would be only one dimension. Each dimension would be a plane, rather than a line. Beings inhabiting a three-charge universe would be unaware of any of this because a one-dimensional line, as we know it, would be non-existent and inconceivable. They could no more conceive of a line being a dimension as we can conceive of a point being a dimension. Their number system would necessarily have sideways numbers, in a way that we cannot easily imagine.

If there happened to be four equal and opposite charges composing the universe, a dimension would be what we perceive here as three dimensions. Although, once again, any beings inhabiting that universe would be unaware of it. This would make the universe less intricate than ours, if it limited the number of spatial dimensions, but would open fantastic possibilities with regard to different varieties of matter.

There would be, or at least could be, electromagnetic waves in any universe with two or more electric charges. Any such waves would follow the dimensions of that universe. Basic electromagnetic waves in our universe occupy two dimensions, because we have two charges. But such two-dimensional waves as ours could not exist in a universe of three electric charges. Waves must always involve all of the electric
