I am going to start from a basic
cosmology. What we perceive as both space and time are fields which
interact with matter. There may or may not be several entities which
resemble what we refer to as the universe, I would say that all these
entities constitute one universe and that we need a new world to
describe the entity we currently refer to as the universe but that is
beside the point. Space and time by their nature must be infinite,
otherwise the question of what lies beyond arises and clearly that is
a question which cannot be answered within our current understanding
or our ability to conceptualize any possible future understanding.
Within this infinite space there is at least one area in which matter
has arisen, our “universe” the concept of infinity would tell us
that an infinite number of such areas must exist but that is
something we can leave aside for now as they are at least at this
moment inaccessible to us. There are two ways in which they might be
inaccessible, firstly would be in terms of distance, they are simply
so far away that the light and radiation they are putting out have
not reached us, in this case they are not inaccessible, in that
access is possible at some point in the future just not now... the
other way in which access might be denied is if the light and
radiation they give off cannot reach us. In order to understand how
this might be the case we have to consider the interactions of space,
time, and matter. Einstein showed that matter causes the curvature of
space and time. When this curvature is significant enough, such as
in the case of a black hole, light is unable to escape the curvature
and loops back around upon itself. As light moves with the greatest
possible velocity if it cannot escape the curvature of space than
neither can anything else. This would occur if the mass in our region
of space were so concentrated that it curved the space around it back
in upon itself into an isolated bubble. Interestingly this would
result in the region appearing as a black hole from the outside. Are
the black holes we perceive entire universes unto themselves? Also as
the matter in our universe has been shown to be expanding in all
directions would this possibly lead to a change in the curvature of
space such that it no longer folds in upon itself? Also if a region
of space were to be self contained would that mean that light from an
external source could not enter? Does that fact that the matter in
our region of the universe is expanding imply that its mass is not
sufficient to curve space in upon itself because it would make sense
that if the mass were that great it would be sufficient to pull
itself together and collapse into a singularity as the current
understanding of black hole creation would imply. Are we essentially
in the supernova phase of an explosion which will eventually collapse
back in upon itself? This seems unlikely as I understand it because
evidence shows that the expansion is accelerating... But it is also
accelerating and expanding in all directions and not from a single
central point. This could be interpreted as an expansion of the space
between objects such that they are not so much moving away from each
other as the space between them is expanding... Could this be an
aspect of the changing curve of space and time as a result of a
simultaneous movement of the matter? This is all possible in a
universe formed by the sudden expansion of a region of unstable space
in which energy ripples within the space/time field and with the
sudden expansion the points of high energy convert into the building
blocks of matter and begin to coalesce into matter, as more matter
forms it gives stability to the energy which is constantly in a
quantum state shifting between pure energy with out mass and the the
subatomic particles which create mass. Possibly that is all the
subatomic particles are is energy sans mass, and the sudden expansion
gave rise to a Higgs field or itself was the Higgs field. As more
energy converts to matter it stabilizes the Higgs field giving more
stability to other energy to become more matter, etc. in a feedback
loop, birthing the material universe as we know it.
