New Cosmology Paradigm?,'Cosmic Numbers' etc.

James Stein's nice cosmological physics book published in 2011 is a smart history and paradigm-placing popular physics book well worth reading. One gets a little traction from the mathematicians approach to reviewing several important numbers and formulas made over the history of physics that have changed the way humanity and science understand the physical world/universe.

I especially enjoyed reading the chapters on the Plank constant, light,gravity, absolute zero electricity and the proportionality constant. Who would know that there is actually a math formula to prove that Zeno's arrow would actually reach its target? The author uses enough math formulas in simple enough structures/examples to provide a sense of how the things work for those of us non-mathematicians interested in physics.

I though I should drop in one salient new idea (to me) for the paradigm for the beginning of the Universe as an alternative to the big bang and inflation or for Turok and Stein's (another Stein) colliding membrane theory.

With electrons being of the same charge and thus repelling other electrons, and protons having a positive charge and repelling the same as well, and for that matter with anti-matter in effect being oppositely charged to matter, one might get the idea that spin polarity and charge positive or negative are fundamental aspects of the particle waves of the universe that might apply to the very beginning.

One might believe that a suddenly charged field or membrane suddenly expanded being repelled from like similar particles. There are many basic characteristics of particles/waves that one might believe are pervasive throughout all of the Universe throughout its history.

How did the Universe expand faster than light for a brief fraction of a second? One answer could be that a phase transition occurred to an area like the sudden freezing of a like surface generally rather than from a particular point that provides a faster than light context regarding area or distance from the edge. A given volume or area of a neutral membrane perhaps packed like a Bose-Einstein condensate into neutrality may have been given a charged and repelled its newly minted individual constituent particle-waves area-wide throughout a given portion of the very packed space-time of a membrane-like 'singularity'.

The physicist Max Plank developed the formula E=hv a few years before Einstein used it to explain the photoelectric effect. The formula effectively began the field of quantum mechanics or the quantitization of energy implicitly with a time unit. Energy is emitted from the sub-atomic world only in quantum units rather than along an infinite irrational number paradigm continuum of release.

In the first second of the Universe space and time were very compact. One might even dismiss space as existing at all and simply regard time and space as subtler quantization values to small to regard as anything other than time or distance (space). Regardless, gravity as a force existing even between electrons and perhaps characteristics of an initial neutral field reduced through the beginning creation of a charged field breaking off is regarded as diminishing with the square of the distance, and of course one wonders how Newtons gravitational paradigm would apply to an uncertainty criterion of all possible world-lines or the subtle variation of gravity with the waves of very small mass and frequency particles.

Time compacted as an implicit feature of the neutral mass-anti-mass field membrane when T=0 in the history of the Universe might easily have been transcended from any particular 'center' point with the precipitation of a charge. The charged field non-locally originated followed by a matter-anti-matter reduction in the detached proto-universe would have experienced its own implicit gravitational and matter transformations even as the entire Universe might one day-after 7 billion 'years' be drawn toward the fundamental meta-universe creating the appearance of the expansion of space-time. The net 'positive' charge of the Universe with its matter may have a fundamental attraction to the neutral meta-verse thereby being drawn all over in however many dimensions to the non-charged meta-verse beyond mass-universe structure.

If one considers fundamental characteristics of physics to what the Universe appears to be today for philosophically inclined non-physicists-Boyle's law for instance on the expansion of gases or the laws of entropy it is reasonable to wonder about the mass expanding in the volume of the Universe toward an equal pressure while locally gravity makes it clump together. Though it is ordinary to regard the eventual heat death of the Universe through entropy to a very cold condition near or at absolute zero, it is interesting to consider the fact (as Stein points out in his book) that the Bose-Einstein condensate can be made of neutrons that effectively become one at absolute zero, and that below absolute zero might be a very high, hot number. Maybe its like an odometer turning over from its quantifiable highest number to zero and reverse.

It seems possible that with a very cold membrane perhaps attracted in particles, waves or probabilities toward absorption into a neutral meta-verse the potential for more local universal downloads to very high heat and expansion could exist.

Theistically none of this is inconsistent with the powers of God of which one might speculate about as readily as one might on potential forms and criteria for the creation of the Universe as a reduction from The One. One is led to wonder a bit however about the creation of mass or positive charge from a meta-verse; does it leave a an energy deficit in the meta-verse at all?

If quantum theories incremental step transformations of energy releases and levels can be applied to Newton and Einstein's gravitational criteria as quanta for themselves, one wonders how it might be defined spatially and with time transformations tossed in.
