🔬 RST as the Corrective Lens for the Planck Scale
🔬 RST as the Corrective Lens for the Planck Scale
The video “What Happens Beyond the Planck Length?” identifies the conceptual failure at the heart of modern physics: the Planck scale, where General Relativity (GR) and Quantum Mechanics (QM) become equally important — yet incompatible. Reactive Substrate Theory (RST) positions itself as the necessary Quantum Gravity (QG) framework that resolves this conflict by introducing the Substrate Field (Σ) as the underlying medium.
📐 Key Concepts Reinterpreted by RST
| Video Concept (Mainstream View) | RST Correction (Σ Lens) | Clues and Implications in the Video |
|---|---|---|
| The Planck Length [03:14] |
A Σ Field Limit, Not a Spatial Resolution. It marks the intersection of Σ’s quantum coherence and gravitational tension. |
Defined where Compton Wavelength and Schwarzschild Radius converge — a clue that quantum and gravity modes of Σ meet. |
| Breakdown of Laws [07:23] |
Breakdown of Emergent Mathematics, Not Reality. Σ continues to operate; our models fail under max stress. |
“Quantum theories break down” — but only the emergent descriptions, not the underlying substrate. |
| Unification of Forces [05:28] |
Un‑Differentiation of the Σ Field. All forces are tension/vibration modes of Σ; unification is always present. |
Early universe’s high energy prevents symmetry breaking — all Σ modes remain fused. |
| Black Hole Formation [07:42] |
Σ Field’s Failure to Measure. Exceeding Σmax collapses the field into a permanent soliton — a black hole. |
Scattering experiments beyond Planck scale trigger collapse — Σ defends its unprobeable core. |
📌 Summary
RST sees the Planck scale not as a spatial cutoff, but as the boundary between emergent reality (spacetime, GR, QM) and the fundamental, unified Substrate Field (Σ). The video outlines the very problems RST claims to solve — and through its lens, the breakdowns and paradoxes become natural consequences of trying to model a deeper, elastic, and reactive medium with tools built for its surface.
