Queenlessness

Humans are naturally hive animals.

Many, Many things affect personality, our genes of course, and countless environment factors.
Birth order has been shown to affect personality, First born children tend to be natural leaders, middle borns negotiate, and youngest children are entertainers.

In an insect hive, raising larva in different ways will yeild insects with essentially equivalent DNA taking on different physical attributes and behaviors, based on the needs of the hive.

A human hive is similar, children repond to events and conditions of their childhood by taking on different psychological traits, and perhaps even altering their metabolism and muscle tone.
A group of humans trying to survive will benefit from having a diverse set of particular kinds of people. We need risk takers and thoughtful strategists, packrats and clean freaks, peacemakers and agressive defenders. In a natural society, these roles would play off of each other to form a balanced, healthy hive.

It is possible that many traits our society considers maladaptive would serve important functions in a hive, or perhaps some people are insane because our society does not provide the proper simulus for their psychological development to complete their growth into an ancient role that they have been triggered to fill.

If your tribe lacks a muse, your prophet will start hearing voices.

Authoritarian Pacifism

A form of government that does not perform any violence whatsoever in enforcing it's laws.
This system eliminates the need for prisons, and even police as we know them. The government is absolutely pacifist.

It is Authoritarian in that:

• It spies on its citzens at its discretion, which is often.
• It produces massive propaganda campaigns.
• It has numerous laws on all manner of behavior
• It provides 'bread and circuses' to pacify the people

Being pacifist, it does not punish or jail criminals. It publicises their crimes, and makes the information easily available. Social stigma, shaped by propaganda, encourages people to obey the law. Known criminals (and their associates) would face tighter surveilance. Vigilanteeism may occur, but it will be a crime, and will be be reported in context. It will be moderated by it's own possible social stigma. (Or Honor?)

Suspects would still have the benefit of trials before any crimes were put on their records, however they may be convicted even if they refuse to attend their trial. (Since their presence cannot be compelled.) The standard of proof may be lower, 'preponderance of the evidence' rather than 'beyond a reasonable doubt'. Criminal cases would always be open to re-trial based on new evidence.

Gravity Does Not Exist

Space is Repulsive.

The theory of gravity is that everything that has mass attracts everything else, probably because of the curvature of spacetime.
The truth is that matter partly shields the repulsive force that space exterts. We are pushed towards objects because we are unshielded on the opposite side. The unshielded repulsive force is extremely great, but since it comes from all directions, it only has influence where it is partly shielded. Larger objects provide better shields, Both because they have more mass to stop the force, and take up a wider area of our exposure to the repulsive force. (the force of 'gravity' dissipates with distance according to the inverse of the square of the distance, just like apparent area does.)
On the surface of a planet, We have 'below' us a shield thousands of miles thick, taking up nearly half our field of view, above us, the sky, pressing down on us.
