We are all connected to the cosmological horizon

The only known explanation for the elementary particles and the forces of nature implies that every particle in us is connected to the black night sky.

The story starts with Dirac’s lecture demonstration from 1929:

The only way to explain that matter particles have spin 1/2 is to compare them to scissors tied to a chair. Such tethered scissors return to the original, untangled situation only after a rotation by 4𝝿, like spin 1/2 particles do. (This is called Dirac’s trick, belt trick, scissor trick, and with half a dozen other names.) In nature, the chair would be the cosmological horizon or, in simple terms, the black night sky. No other visualization for spin 1/2 exists.

Likewise, the only way to explain that matter particles are fermions, thus that a pair of particles returns to the original situation after a double exchange, is to imagine that they are tethered to the cosmological horizon:

Even the only way to explain that matter particles are described by wave functions requires to imagine particles as fluctuating tethered structures. Only this idea reproduces superpositions, Hilbert spaces, entanglement and the Dirac equation. This is explained in detail here.

Finally, the only way to explain the emergence of electromagnetism and the nuclear forces, the so-called gauge theories, requires fluctuating tethered structures. Also this is told in a pedagogical way here.

In short, nature can only be understood if every particle is assumed to be connected to the cosmological horizon, but with connections that are unobservable in everyday life. Since we are also made of particles, every one of us is connected to the black night sky, the border of the universe, and through it, to the rest of nature.
