You read *my* paper or Volovik's? Did you read any of "The Universe in a
Helium Droplet" yet? His correlations of superfluids (from experimental
investigations) with symmetry principles is much different than what you
propose. The hammer is dropping, and you will miss the "new physics".

Hmmm... geometry comes from "nothingness" I suppose. ;-)

| So? The possible existence of dark matter can be explained in many ways.

What about dark energy?

| My advice to Bill664 is to understand the foundation of science is test,
| hypothesize, test, hypothesize over and over. All hypothesis contain
| assumptions - it is purely a matter of personnell preference what
| assumptions you like or dislike. As the paper I linked to proved the key
| assumption of SR is the POR - light really has very little to do with it.
| You were able to reach that conclusion yourself. My bias towards symmetry
| is my and many others opinion, but others have a different biases such as
| Freddi - in science such is not really important - correspondence with
| experiment is. However I believe the more acquainted you become with the
| ideas of physics the more you will realize symmetry is the correct
| foundation just like the correct foundation for SR is the POR (a symmetry
| principle BTW) and not light. But do not take my word for it, do not take
| Freddi's word for it, commence the journey yourself and form you own
| opinion.

Yes, that is best advice. Learn it all and decide which "interpretations"
you like best. Just remember this; the Universe is necessarily defined by
all the quantum objects in it. Especially the quantum objects that comprise
the quantum vacuum. For in the quantum vacuum lies the other 96 percent of
the Universe's total energy. And it is what "powers" the so-called
self-energy of quantum objects that make real matter.
