A Hypothesis for a Membrane Theory of Gravity

Abstract: Proposed is a modification of gravity in M-Theory that could
successfully combine relativity and quantum mechanics by means of a
membrane theory of gravity. The force of gravity would be produced by
the curvature of our membrane by the vibrations of individual strings of
matter in the three gravity dimensions of M-Theory. Gravity’s weakness
would be due to the size of our membrane relative to the Planck length
of an individual string. If the forces of electromagnetism and gravity were
roughly equivalent when our membrane was the Planck length, then as it
expanded to its current size, the strength of gravity would have decreased in
proportion to our membrane’s size, roughly calculated to have a maximum
radius of 526 trillion light-years. This theory allows for a direct method
of energy transfer from membrane collision to individual virtual strings
present within the brane at the instant of the collision. This explains the
creation of our universe without a singularity while keeping physics intact
throughout the big splash. Dark matter and dark energy are revealed to
be vibrations of our membrane left over from the original collision that
created our universe. The relaxation of those vibrations (whose potential
energy is being converted into kinetic energy) causes spacetime to expand
more rapidly as it ages and to accelerate at what appears to be a constant
rate until all dark matter relaxes completely, stopping the acceleration.
Additionally, several methods of observational confirmation of this theory
(and therefore string theory as well) are proposed.
