Median Size Bubble


The median bubble size for a region of space is defined as follows: Half the volume of the region is contained in bubbles larger than the median size. I prefer to use median rather mean, which is more difficult to define. If bubble sizes are random, there might be so many very small ones that the mean volume is very small. Also, it is difficult to decide if a small bubble really is a bubble.

Observations suggest that the laws of physics operate uniformly thruout our universe. I believe this means that the ether is uniform, and the median size of ether-foam bubbles is uniform within the visible universe at all scales larger than a few bubbles across. I speculate that significant variations of the median size may occur in regions a few bubbles across.

I further speculate that the median bubble size of our ether foam is roughly equal to the Planck length, about 10-35 m. This being the case, the median bubble volume is about 10-105 m3.

There is also a median bubble size in the cosmic foam. This is approximately 10^24 m in diameter, which is roughly 1000 times the width of our galaxy.
