The Creation

In the beginning was darkness; Absolute utter timeless blackness, with nobody or nothing to observe it. A pinprick of light appears; a dimensionless singularity. There might have been innumerable singularities but a single one will do. There is no radiance and no reflection as no matter exists; just the pinprick of light in an infinity of blackness. Like a fabulous seed, this first timeless, dimensionless singularity contains all the information and sentience the universe will need for its entire existence and its diverse manifestations - logically including human and other intelligence. Some might name it God. It is the beginning of everything. Time is born and the cosmic clock starts ticking.

The singularity explodes into Time, spouting the limitless energy of the electromagnetic field into existence. Existence means "to stand out". This energy, light, stands out in an infinity of non-being. The light streams out into the darkness, but no rays can be seen as there is no dust, no moisture, no-thing, no impedance at all to reflect the light and render it visible - and no observer to note its brilliance. As the energy pours forth, its wave-front meets no resistance; the light, the dark unseen light, will perhaps race out endlessly and be lost in the limitless black infinity of pre-existence.

The Pulse of Life

There is no outer resistance but in the explosion there is attenuation. As the light field expands to fill the universe of Time, it attenuates, it stretches the field. Every trillionth of a trillionth of a human second, the onrush pauses as the attenuation brakes and resists the headlong expansion. The field is conditioned by these pauses as the stretched field pulls itself back. Ripples of light result and make a regular pattern throughout the universal expanding globe; a pulse is born; the pulse of the universe that will ultimately infuse all life. It conditions the energy field creating the primary quantum of wavelength, of measurement and the dimensions for what we call the speed of light. The Energy pouring out into Time brings the potential for dimensions; the Space/Time continuum is born. It will eventually give rise to the majesty and complexity of the vast universe we inhabit, observe and marvel at today.

Still all is darkness except for the source, the bright seed of the singularity bridging non-existence and the universe, across which streams limitless energy. Boundless new energy pours through the singularity into existence - but now there is some slight resistance. The energy field has been ploughed in fractal quanta creating an impedance, a pre-conditioning of the field that defines movement. The first parameters of matter - bound and defined and limited matter - are being hinted at. This new universe will become a universe with material objects.

Unimpeded bliss curtailed

Still the explosion continues unabated and the attenuation in the field now channels the ever in-flowing energy, which also repeatedly attenuates as it streams into the measuring bowl of space/time. This unlimited flow of unruly primal energy, emerging without boundaries or definition or rules of any kind, finds the universe already relatively crowded and already governed by primal physical laws. The existing dark field of electromagnetic energy quivers to the pulse of the first quantum wavelength and speeding restrictions are rigorously enforced.

Supra-Vacuums

As the field stretches and reaches out limitlessly, so behind its front line the attenuation is more greatly stressed by the limits of space-time. Supra-vacuums, glimpses into non-existence outside the universe, open momentarily. The field responds to the supra-vacuums, arching back on itself to fill the vacuums. Where the speeding light collides at the supra-vacuums sites, it spins in fierce tornado like vortices. As the vortices are formed, they draw in energy from the surrounding field. These are the first and most fundamental particles, their uniform size dictated by the quantised field.

Each vortex of spinning light encloses and highly condenses energy. It is therefore permanently bounded by an area of low density. It spins at a speed equivalent to the square of the speed of light. The speed is imparted by the collision of two beams of light drawn to a virtual supra-vacuum; neither impeded by any matter and by only the slightest energy resistance.

Vortices of Light - The Fractals of the Universe

Once spinning, surrounded by a low-density shell, the vortices gain definition. The boundary between the low and high density defines a surface. Their orientation is random at this stage. Their rapidly spinning surfaces repel each other while their low-density shells attract each other. There is no friction in the energy field so there is nothing yet in existence that can interfere with their initial inertial characteristics. These primary particles are untouchable and indestructible except by each another. As the low-density shells attract them to each other, the high-density, high speed surfaces repel them if they touch. Groups rapidly form of mutually tolerant, evenly spaced and generically orientated particles. The conforming orientation results from myriad collisions that align the fractal particles of light. Non-aligned spinning particles are bounced out of the groups and may crash into and scatter other groups.

Bounded Creatures of Light

Resistance increases as the field precipitates myriad particles. Without resistance there would be no creation, just unimpeded, limitless, eternal, undefined energy flow. Billions of Earth years later, humans will explore the limits of their material bodies, precipitated from light, and some will feel and lament the loss of that blissful unbounded flight across the infinite. But without the light arching back on itself, creating the first boundaries and the first surfaces and the first restrictions and rules, no phenomena could or would exist

The Arrow of Time

The universe now scintillates with sparkling light that a celestial observer might see and marvel at. Unconstrained electromagnetic energy continues to pour across the bridging singularity to be conditioned, channelled and shaped for existence by the first laws of our universe. Fractal light particles, the building blocks of all matter, proliferate throughout the energy field. The arrow of time is set, pointing irrevocably from its singular start out into the continuity of expansion.

The Sensate Undifferentiated Universe

The universe, the space-time universe, continues to expand, restrained slightly now by the limitations of the pulse of the speed or transmission of light and by the low-density tug between the shells of light particles. A gentle braking and releasing process arises in the barely existent matter permeating the soup of the early universe. The substratum of the soup is an energy field. A field of energy has no parts. It is not particulate. Thus no region of the field is separate from any other region. This field, this seed of the universe, will eventually give rise to sensation, sensate objects and sensitive organisms. It logically must contain the information for sensation. Any event in any region of the field is sensed immediately in every other region, except where the field has arced back and enclosed itself into particulate matter. Inside the surfaces of such self-defining, self-absorbed material objects, nine-billion times more dense than the light they have entrapped to give them form, events in the field will be only dimly registered, as the information signals take time to penetrate the enclosures.

Vibrating Atomic Particles

In the constantly expanding universe of electromagnetic energy, each region expands. No scale exists. Every and any region we humans, products of the universal forces, and the measurers of the universe, care to define on any scale, expands endlessly. The field expands, space-time expands, the field within particles expands, the space-time locked into particles expands. The particles expand. As the field expands, it attenuates. It stretches thin and creates a partial virtual vacuum, instantly filled by surrounding energy. Within particles the instant of time is longer. The condensed energy, the condensed space-time responds, as does the rest of the field, to the power of expansion. It responds proportionally to its energy content, to the number of quantised zones condensed from the energy field. The vacuum, within a relatively impenetrable particle surface, survives a brief moment longer before being filled. This particle expansion, in condensed energy objects, is thus more powerful and more persistent than it would be if the condensed energy were unbounded. A particle pulse or vibration is set in motion, of expansion, stretch, emptiness, and refill. It does not contract, but humans, expanding on the same scale, perceive it as expanding and contracting, as it refills from the limitless ubiquitous energy field.

The Hubble Constant

The fundamental, primary power of the universe is the universal expansion which we to date observe only by inference from the red shift of light from cosmic very distant objects. The known rate of expansion in 1997 is still uncertain but is agreed to be within narrow fluctuations of the calculation of the Hubble Constant - sadly not yet constant. These cosmic observations allow astrophysicists to sketch a horizon on their celestial maps, and to observe that horizon receding from them, and us, at a constant rate, thus demonstrating that the whole universe is expanding. The millions of galaxies containing billions of stars and other objects at the limits of our powers of observation, such as quasars, are moving apart from each other.

This expansion occurs in every direction, wherever the telescopes are trained, and the central focus for the movement, the source of the Big-Bang, is earnestly sought but not yet identified. This lack of a central point for the location of the prime singularity allows for theories of many singularities (naked or unmasked black-holes) pouring energy into this universe. Multiple singularities, creating many colliding wave fronts, would simplify the theories of the formation of the first particles; but as we saw in the beginning, one singularity will do.

Expansion is Gravity

The endlessly attenuating energy field and primary particles open momentary vesicles or vacuums throughout space-time that tug persistently on the field surrounding them. As the particles precipitate from the fields of light, like black-holes absorbing nine-billion times their volume of energy, the electromagnetic field-forces are depleted for a virtual moment, decrease their mutual attraction and expand rapidly; to be measured as Inflation and to persist as Dark Energy – the mysterious force of continuous universal expansion. Where particles gather, the vacuums are marginally stronger and the pull is also relatively stronger. Space-Time acts like a giant sponge, but with the holes opening then closing as they fill. There is no limit to the act of opening as long as the universe expands. There is an endless need for unfettered energy to fill the vacuums. Where there are primary particles, spun from light, they are carried on the eddies and currents of energy towards the vacuums. They fall through the expanding sponge-like field, from virtual space to virtual space, always drawn towards the strongest vacuums, deep in the heart of the massed particles with the most impermeable surfaces. Thus particles are drawn together and form larger groups, which create stronger surfaces, which maintain the vacuums of expansion, which draw the energy and free particles to their centre. Mass and density are created in numberless locations throughout the space-time continuum. One of the powers inherent in gravity is in operation.

Cold Dark Matter

Wherever the field can be detected, and more particularly where mass and density exist, the expansion of the universe creates virtual vacuums, that pull on the surrounding energy and material. Viewed from afar, a galaxy of a billion suns manifests its visible light, reflected and radiant from myriad surfaces, and broadcasts information about its mass, its scale, its spin and its drift. At every point in the galaxy the power of expansion pulls energy from energy and matter from matter. The denser the materials, the more points or scintilla they contain and the longer the surfaces resist incoming matter and energy. The pull, or force, this phenomenon causes is measured as gravity and is currently interpreted as Cold Dark Matter (CDM) to account for the force over and above the pull of gravity expected from the visible matter. The ratio of unseen "mass" to seen is about 80:20. The eighty percent indicates the ubiquitous and universal power of the expanding universe on sub-atomic scales. Gravity is caused by the expansion of the universe. The power of expansion is the underlying, primary and unifying force in the universe from which all forces arise.

Inertia, The Aether and The Void

Space or The Void is not empty. Take an emptied, evacuated, particle-free cube of any size and at any place in the known universe, erect a screen or an aerial or a human eye ball and it will “see” or record the whole of creation. How does it see the universe? The cube is criss-crossed by light travelling from all the galaxies, stars, planets, comets, dust and magnetic storms etc which are capable of emitting an electro-magnetic signal, beam, wave, photon, electron or any other energy. In our cube, passively receiving information from every direction in the form of wave-particles (light); as the electromagnetic beams zip through the cube, say from north to south, they do so in the same manner as electricity travels, generating magnetic-fields at right-angles to their routes, east to west, – which in turn re-create electric current at right angles to the magnetic-fields. Thus, our cube is literally criss-crossed with energy and, astonishingly, the energy is coherent. This complex multi-directional pre-matter matrix forms the inertia of the universe. The energy (signals, information, wave-particles) persists, perseveres, retains discrete identity, etc across 14 billion light-years, across trillions of other space cubes, wriggling through potentially massively disrupting signals from quasars, black-holes, supernova, whiffs of hydrogen, wisps of helium, TV soaps, mobile-phones, human brain signals and a host of other universal events, and can still be detected and accurately analysed when they reach Earth. Is this coherent, robust matrix anything other than The Aether? Is this the inertial frame-work of the universe?

Switching Off the Dynamo

If the expansion were to stop and reverse, what might the consequences be. First, the micro supra and super vacuums would no longer occur. The power of gravity would be switched off. The spiral whirlpools drawing energy and matter towards dense centres would not open. The flow through the sponge would cease. Matter would hold together while electrical and nuclear forces persisted, but as these in turn are generated by the expanding universe, they would dissipate as the primary generator remained inactive. Slowly, energy and matter would un-pick itself. Maximum entropy would ultimately occur as the stuff of the universe jostled into the lowest energy state. The universe would become an inert soup of primary particles, neatly distanced from each other, each keeping to its place and space. Interaction, collision, relationships and dynamic activity would stop. The unimpeded bliss of a formless universe would be eternally boring.

Dark-Light

With the dynamo of expansion switched off, the universe would no longer have the energy to create matter and clump it together in dissipative systems - that all of life depends on. All materials are dissipative systems. They absorb, shape and mould and then dissipate energy. Animals mostly do this by eating. Plants directly absorb light as well as drawing food and moisture through their roots and dissipating it through their leaves. Rocks absorb heat and attract dust particles, dissipating nuclear energy over aeons of time. All life would cease. As surfaces of atomic particles and as primary light vortices dissolved back to energy, the light of the electromagnetic field would have nothing to reflect from, nothing on which to create radiance and scintillation. The light would become dark-light, unobserved and unobservable.

The End
