Lets include cosmology into my little thought experiment and see if anyone follows where I’m going.
The reason I’m approaching this from the angle that I am is simplicity. It makes more sense to me to use Occam’s Razor as a predictive model and see what sort of universe it produces than to assume a complicated set of principles that we can’t nail down accurately because the act of observing alters the results… which is obviously the case when dealing with micro-quantum distances and sizes. In order to make an observation you need to cause an interaction. Therefore, even the best observation will be flawed unless you can consider all of the elements of the system… including effects that we, as a species, are not necessarily aware of.
So assuming the most elementary design for the universe we exist in, we accept that space is capable of existing independently of matter or energy. We also assume that energy is capable of existing independently of space.
One could alternately assume that space and matter are codependent and exist infinitely, but there is no more rational argument for that than for the collision of previously existing universes or the existence of god who inserted energy into time/space creating reality. Any claim of absolute certainty would be ridiculous unless I could provide substantive evidence to support my claim.
So my view of the primordial universe is that it was two or more separate entities which collided. One proto-universe made up of time and space, and a second universe made of pure energy. When the two intersected… for whatever reason… quanta (energy) entered into space/time in a quantity greater than the volume of space that it initially occupied could contain.
During this generative moment of intersection, quanta trapped inside the newly formed “bubble” of energy were repeatedly forced together through purely mechanical processes as gravity and the law of conservation of matter warred with the limits of the new environment of “space/time.” Energy was compressed into matter because of the enormous mass and minute distances involved with that initial bubble of energy.
I think thats all my little brain can handle for the moment. Keep in mind, I’m not reading this somewhere… I’m working from scratch on this. I’ve just been thinking about it for a while.
