TFNR - A brief history of the Universe
Think different!
Here, after all these premises, it is clear that this approach gives us a different image of Physical Reality and the Universe.
We have been enabled to think of the Universe as the fruit of the Big Bang, to consider the CMB as its fossil remnant, the cosmic expansion as one of the main evidences in favor of this model and of the supposed age of the Universe. Other alternative models gradually proposed over time have not had similar success.
Also as a result of the latest observational evidence, it is now clear to most that something is wrong...
We need to completely rethink the way we represent the origin and evolution of the world of which we are part and in which we live.
Can we try to imagine telling a different story of Creation and Evolution of the Universe?
A different story
And what could this different story be?
"Long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..."
No, no, stop... I was just kidding...
Not an instant in time, not a point in space. Not an initiating causal event. This alternative story begins very differently. It starts out of time and out of space. Or rather "before" time and space, "before" in a causal sense. It is difficult to find a suitable wording, "before" in causal sense and not strictly in temporal sense, but without a single causal event.
Different, in what sense?
What are the most important and peculiar aspects of this story? What is the deeper essence of what we are trying to outline?
Let's start from the fundamental dimensions of Reality:
- Cause: no first Cause. no external force. The Primary Source is internal to the process itself. Its existence, its manifestation is the Process of Formation of Reality. Its essence is the Form of the evolving Universe
- Space: no limits in Space, no borders, no special points (no center). Space was born within the same process (and is incessantly re-created and evolves)
And, what about Creation (origin) "and" Evolution (development):
- Existence: the product of the sub-process of Creation (Events -> Action)
- Essence / Form: the product of the sub-process of Evolution (Relations -> Information, the Form of Action)
The Creation (of the most elementary form) of Existence
Things don't exist in the conventional classical sense. Things, everything, happens. The true fundamental "substance" that composes things, atoms, molecules, objects, stars, galaxies, dark matter, dark energy, everything, are not particles and waves, the real "substance" are the Events, Elementary Events, fluctuations at the Planck scale of / in the Elementary Field produced by the Action of the Fundamental Force (Force and Field are the two aspects of the Source of Reality).
Elementary Events organized in Processes, huge and complex networks of Elementary Events, that evolve incessantly toward more and more Complex Events, forming increasingly complex Processes, which together make up the entire Process of Formation of Reality.
Or rather, what really matters are the "distributions of Elementary Events" that support Information, those patterns that organize their Relations in Processes, which we can mathematically described through stochastic / deterministic processes, which correspond to the creative and evolving chaos / order processes that form Reality.
Everything, absolutely everything, in its most elementary foundation depends on the distributions of the Elementary Events produced by the interaction of the fundamental / elementary Entities, by the Relations, or correlations, which organize the Events into Processes. All. Everything is relative, as it arises from the Relations between Events. Space, Time, Mass, Motion, Charge, Spin and so on up to the more complex Forms of Existence.
From the correlation between the distributions of Elementary Events springs the profoundly uncertain, quantum, probabilistic nature of Reality at the most elementary levels, which in the evolution towards greater complexity, towards greater spatial and temporal extensions, compensate, mediate, giving rise to an emergent determinism that brings us to the classical view that characterized the early development of physics.
Let'start from... "Nothing"
Let'start from... "Nothing". Or better, from the transition from Nothingness to Emptyness, from "Nothing" to "absolute vacuum" (the most elementary form of Existence).
The absolute vacuum
The emergence of the dark side of the Universe
It is, again, from the organization of Elementary Events, Relations and Processes that the first Structures of Information arise. The first Vortices, the first convective structures in space-time (a space-time in very slow heating, now at the mean temperature of about 2.7 Kelvin degrees), characterized by a minimal but increasing inhomogeneity, an emerging organization of the Elementary Field, which in a very slow evolution leads to the formation of the first Dark structures. These, growing and interacting in successive pro]]cesses of aggregation, merger and annihilation, filled all the available space, creating what we now understand to be the dark structure of the cosmic web.
The first (dark) structures
Dark From the incessant and changing interaction of dark structures, which we observe as giant voids, dark halos of various sizes, walls and strings between them, ordinary matter arose and continues to arise, from the interaction of the boundaries of those bubbles, halos, from boundaries formed by what we assume is Dark energy generating a swirling dynamic in space-time. A foam of correlations between the distributions of Elementary Events, which generates micro Vortices and Waves, which immediately evolve into Particles, accelerated by immense and intense magnetic fields.
Light from the dark
Let there be light, and there was light... A rarefied but incessant process, at times or locally more intense, extended episodes of formation of ordinary matter, which alternate with periods of scarce production, in an expansion and contraction of the great dark structures, which in an incessant, very slow breath, produce foam, like the sea through its waves. From the consequent collisions between the elementary particles thus produced and accelerated, more complex particles are formed and begin to collapse into the less extensive but more dense, massive dark halos.
Just as from this dark cosmic dynamic, which involves immense and invisible structures, the ever more complex dynamics of visible matter arose and continues to arise, the dance that involves every structure, every form in this unlimited, infinite and eternal Universe that hosts us and of which, like the whole planet we inhabit, we represent a highly complex and constantly evolving part.
The first gas clouds, then the first stars, the clusters of stars, the first galaxies. And so on, ordinary matter, which, like a flowering, gradually colonizes the immense expanses of Dark structures. And the dark dance is enriched with light, radiant energy, infinite local dynamics, which together create the immense complexity of the Universe in evolution.
