Order Underlies the Universe

 Plato writing in The Timaeus suggest that there is divine order underlying the Universe. Everything is thought to be constructed from mathematics.

An underlying order to the Universe is an interesting conception. Tegmark's mathematical Universe arrives at the idea that math may be the actual basic constituent of the Universe/Multiverse. The notion that some have that order may arrive from chaos, and that the universe may have arisen from chaos, need stipulate that something first existed, and in a chaotic order at that which does seem improbable.

A singularity at T=0 was the opposite of chaotic or replete with maximum entropy and disorganization. It was instead highly organized presumably with a finite quantity of energy that could become matter eventually.

Apparently recent studies found that a cyclic Universe isn't likely because the entropy would increase in each cycle drawing it toward extinction. In the eternity that exists before time a cyclical universe should already have expired into complete disorder. One wonders though about the organizing, anti-entropy factors that attracts mass toward singularity if that is what occurs pre-Universe. Gravity should need to exist before energy, and that is unlikely. And gravity is thought to break off first from a unified field. It is interesting to think about what created all of the energy and drew it together as a unified field at singularity T=0. At that point it should have an infinitely high temperature contained in zero space. marvelous configuration to consider.
