Introduction

I was never quite sure whether or not I believed in the Big Bang theory. There is plenty of evidence to back it up, no doubt; however, that evidence may also point to a different event. I called that event the “Event” and it takes place in my “Nothing Universe” hypothesis. I’ll give you a brief overview, and if you’re interested in the full details, I’ve written all the details in an article much like this one called “The Nothing Universe Hypothesis.” Just do an internet search if you’re interested in reading more, the main article can be found at ezine.com.

Basically, my universe-from-nothing hypothesis assumes that nothing actually has a physical composition. Its true form consists of a supersymmetric atom or “Nothing Atom” that is made up of some variation of matter and antimatter separated by the necessary number of neutrons. Neutrons prevent matter and antimatter from coming into contact and thus annihilate each other. The electron and its positive counterpart occupy different lobes and remain out of contact.

This atom of perfect nothingness occupied all space for infinity. Eventually, something happened inside one of these atoms that caused it to destabilize and started a chain reaction that led to the creation of an ever-expanding universe within the universe out of nothing. This hypothesis goes beyond the big bang because the big bang does not account for the singularity. Where he came from? It couldn’t have existed forever because it exploded. It couldn’t always have been exploding because we would have witnessed it today as a repeating pattern. And if that were the case, none of us would be here to watch it. So the question then becomes, “Where did the singularity come from?”, and “What existed before it?” Even if we accept the argument that the singularity was a point of condensed energy that took time to build up to the moment of the explosion, that still doesn’t explain how the energy came to be in a universe from nothing. What existed beyond the singularity?

The Nothing Universe hypothesis removes this problem from what came before the singularity. The universe had a definite structure before the creation of this universe within it. The big difference between the Nothing Universe and the Big Bang is that the Big Bang assumes a singularity of pure energy, while the Nothing Universe assumes that there was no free energy; and that all the energy was locked up in particles that made up the supersymmetric Atom of Nothing. That’s not to say, however; that the big bang did not happen. An idea occurred to me and it has become the basis of this article. “What if the Big Bang happened after all, but only in our region of the universe”?

the infinite universe

I am a firm believer that space is infinite. It goes on forever and never stops. I know that there are some hypotheses that assume that the universe can be infinite, but contained in a finite amount of space. I can see how one might consider that notion, but I dare not fully believe it. The problem is human conception, and sometimes it can lead us astray. Einstein was a brilliant man, and he once used the analogy of a man moving away from a clock at the speed of light and perceiving time to slow down as he approached the speed of light. Brilliant idea, but then I asked the question “What if that man was blind?” Would the blind man perceive the slowing down of time? Just one example of how our eyes don’t always give us the reality of things.

Even if there is a shape that could contain our universe and give us infinite travel, there is still a limit or outer edge in some direction. You could travel infinitely in a straight line or in another direction, but one will always take you to a limit or border. So that leaves one having to wonder, “What lies beyond that limit?” Something must be there, even if it is empty and devoid of anything. There is no power, there is no dust, there is nothing, and something must still be there. I often wonder if it is simply because our mind allows us to conceive of space, empty or not. One of the reasons I had to give nothing a definite composition and separate it from our normal concept of nothing. Thus we can conceive of an infinite space composed of nothing with a definite shape. Within this nothing exists our universe. Since it is infinite, it is possible that our ever-expanding universe is simply one of many others that exist at mind-boggling distances from our own. Perhaps on some occasion one of the limits of that expanding universe merges with another. What happens then? Are both pocket universes destroyed or do they just merge? Since there is a wall of pure energy moving outwards, one would have to assume that both universes would be destroyed. Thus leaving behind the building blocks of a larger universe to begin anew. This brings me to the main point of this hypothesis. “What if our universe is nothing more than a localized event within a larger universe”?

the mini explosion

I have to call it the mini-burst, because I guess it could only have happened in our region of space. Scientists think the universe is about 15 billion years old, but what if that’s just the age of this region of space? Perhaps the big bang was just a localized event within a much larger and older universe, within an infinite universe made up of nothing of importance and pockets of other universes. You see, when you’re dealing with infinity, space is not an issue. You just have to allow your mind to conceive endless space. Nothing is too big forever.

It is impossible to tell the actual age of the universe as a whole, because we lack the technology to see beyond the limits of this localized event. We think the universe is so old simply because we can’t look far enough into our own universe. The universe as we know it is simply a small region of a much larger universe. I think it may have happened that way.

Once the event that caused this universe to come into existence within the Universe of Nothingness occurred, matter began to evolve. The particles came together to form clouds, which came together to form galaxies, and within those galaxies stars were born. From these stars evolved a universe very similar to the one we observe today. That is, the processes we witness today give us an idea of ​​how much the universe works as a whole. At the same time, massive pockets of matter were forming that would eventually collapse into black holes. Super black holes at the center of galaxies and smaller black holes scattered throughout the rest of the galaxy. It is so in all galaxies. Over time, galaxies collide with other galaxies and those super black holes come into contact with fresh, new material to devour. Depending on how events play out, it could be a bit of material or entire galaxies. Given enough time, more and more matter is gobbled up by massive black holes. It is the process in which black holes gobble up more and more matter and, in some cases, merge with other massive black holes that leads to the creation of a singularity. That is the singularity that exists at the heart of the Big Bang theory. What I am saying is that the Big Bang Theory may have actually happened, but it was not the first event and it certainly did not lead to the creation of the universe. It is simply an event that takes place from time to time within the universe or universes that is the result of massive amounts of matter being compressed into singularities. That just as stars can reach a critical mass where they can collapse in on themselves, so can black holes reach a critical mass where no more matter can be compressed into a finite amount of space. The singularity gets so hot that it explodes in a Big Bang expelling all the energy it contains and leading to the evolution of a younger universe within a much older and vaster universe.

These Mini Big Bangs are a natural part of the life cycle of the universe. It is a direct result of the evolution of a particular region of space. As more and more matter is brought together, a singularity is formed over time. This is why we believe that our universe is only 15 billion years old. It’s not because the universe is 15 billion years old, it’s just that this region of the universe is 15 billion years old after the Mini Bang.

Conclution

I believe that one day we will arrive at the grand unified theory. The day the human race has put together all the pieces of the puzzle of how our universe works and how it came to be. Whether this hypothesis of mine is right or wrong, or even close, doesn’t matter. What matters is that the ideas are presented to the world. So that others can read and consider them and build on them. It is that process that will lead to the ultimate truths we seek as a species.

For now, I hope this article will be useful to others and maybe plant the seed of new ideas. It helps me, because I couldn’t believe in the Big Bang as the creative event of the Universe. Nor could he conceive of the universe being only 15 billion years old. Perhaps this is one of the conceptual pitfalls I warned earlier that the human mind can make? But I just can’t conceive of the universe as anything other than infinitely old and vast. So the “Localized Big Bang Hypothesis” is my attempt to reconcile what I believe to be true with what the scientific community holds to be true.

In this way, the “Event” was the creative factor of this universe and perhaps of other universes out there. Multiverses, so to speak, existing within this dimension rather than another. These events took place within a universe composed of nothing or the super symmetric atom. This Universe of Nothing exists today around us because it is infinite. It’s an amazing distance. So far that we could travel forever and never reach it…unless we travel faster than the wall of energy that is the event that is creating the known universes within the universe out of nothing. It is within one of these universes that we find ourselves. In a small region of it the Big Bang occurred, which leads us to believe that the universe is only 15 billion years old, when in fact the event itself is that old. The region of space that we occupy is nothing more than the interplay of so much matter coming together, compressing into a black hole, eventually becoming the singularity, eventually reaching critical mass and exploding. The explosion seeding our region of the universe with fresh new material to evolve into the universe we know today.

The day will come when we will be able to peak beyond the limits of our 15 billion year old universe and glimpse for the first time a much older and vaster universe. I can’t say what we will find, but one has to assume that the laws of physics will hold there just as they do here. So it is unlikely that we will see anything strange or exotic. We will simply witness a much older region of space. What will happen there, we will have to wait and see. We first have to overcome the great distances we are faced with here, before we can even think of getting there. But I believe that through science, that day will come. After all, as a species we are still in our infancy of knowledge.
