Given: The universe, existence itself, is eternal. The universe has always existed in one state or another.
Given: The universe, existence itself, is infinite in all directions. The universe has always been infinite in all directions, and always will be infinite in all directions.
Given: Expansion is an intrinsic property of the universe. The universe is not expanding into anything.
Given: Everything happens through cause and effect. All casual and non-causal forces have a cause.
The Beginning Of Cause And Effect
There was a force that caused the big bang, therefore cause and effect does not begin with the Big Bang but with the cause of the force that caused the Big Bang.
The Universe Prior To The Big Bang
Being that particle matter did not exist prior to the Big Bang, it is deducible that the volume of the universe prior to the Big Bang was a perfect vacuum volume infinite in all directions.
Perfect Vacuum Volume Infinite In All Directions
Things deducible about a perfect vacuum volume infinite in all directions:
Infinite Volume: The vacuum extends infinitely in all directions.
Perfect Vacuum: The volume is a theoretical construct of a perfect vacuum, devoid of any matter particles, atoms, molecules, or subatomic particles.
Isotropic: The properties of the vacuum are the same in all directions, meaning it is uniform and symmetric.
Higgs Field Presence: In the perfect vacuum volume, the only physical substance present is the Higgs field. It is the fundamental quantum field that permeates the vacuum.
Monochromatic: The Higgs field oscillations have a single, constant frequency.
Higgs Field Oscillation: The Higgs field in the vacuum volume undergoes oscillations with a specific wavelength (λ) and frequency (ν).
Planck Length Wavelength: The wavelength of the Higgs field oscillations is equal to the Planck length (approximately 1.616 × 10^-35 meters), which is the smallest possible length scale in the universe.
Planck Time Frequency: The frequency of the Higgs field oscillations is equal to the Planck time (approximately 5.391 × 10^-44 seconds), which is the smallest possible time interval in the universe.
Non-zero Temperature: The non-zero temperature in a perfect vacuum volume is due to the oscillations of the Higgs field alone.
Zero Matter Density: There are no matter particles, including quarks, leptons, or gauge bosons, present in this vacuum. Only the Higgs field exists. The volume is necessarily purely momentive.
No Applicable Fundamental Forces: In a perfect vacuum with only the Higgs field present, fundamental forces, including gravity and other known forces, do not apply.
Vacuum Energy: The vacuum would possess a specific energy associated with the Higgs field oscillations, which could be quantified based on the Planck energy scale.
Energy Density: The vacuum has an associated energy density, which could be quantified based on the properties of the Higgs field.
Extreme Energies: The Planck energy scale is incredibly high, around 10^19 GeV, far beyond current experimental capabilities, making it difficult to test or observe such a scenario directly.
Applicability of Fundamental Constants: The values of fundamental constants, such as the speed of light (c), Planck's constant (h), and the gravitational constant (G), would still apply in this vacuum. These constants are intrinsic properties of the universe and remain consistent regardless of the presence of matter or fundamental forces.
Certainty of Higgs Field: The Higgs field is in an isotropic state of certainty, meaning it is uniform and homogenous infinite in all directions.
Unobservable by Current Technology: The conditions described involve energy scales and length-time scales far beyond our current experimental capabilities, making it impossible to directly observe or test this scenario.
Consistency with Current Scientific Knowledge: The characteristics of a perfect vacuum, including the presence of the Higgs field and the absence of matter and fundamental forces, are consistent with current scientific understanding and theoretical physics concepts.
Theoretical Nature: This theoretical setup is based on current theoretical physics concepts and models. It helps researchers explore the fundamental nature of the universe at extremely small scales and understand the interplay between quantum mechanics and gravity.
Theoretical Exploration: The idea of a perfect vacuum is essential for theoretical physics and helps in understanding the fundamental nature of the universe and the behavior of quantum fields.
To summarize, in a perfect vacuum volume that is infinite in all directions, only the Higgs field would be present, and all other matter particles and fundamental forces would not apply. The concept of a perfect vacuum is theoretical and serves as a valuable construct for exploring the fundamental aspects of the universe in theoretical physics. The vacuum would have vacuum energy and quantum fluctuations, and certain fundamental constants would still be applicable. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that a true perfect vacuum is theoretical and not currently achievable or observable with our current technology. The characteristics of a perfect vacuum do not contradict current scientific knowledge and are consistent with our understanding of theoretical physics.
Challenging to Describe with SpaceTime: In a perfect vacuum with the absence of the fundamental forces of SpaceTime, the concept of traditional spacetime does not apply, and its description requires more advanced theoretical frameworks, such as quantum gravity or theories of spacetime at the Planck scale.
Higgs Field Constants: The Higgs field in the vacuum volume is characterized by certain constants, such as its vacuum expectation value (VEV) and self-coupling constant, which determine its properties and behavior.
Planck Constants: The Planck constant (h) ≈ 6.62607015 × 10^-34 J-s and the reduced Planck constant (ħ) ≈ 1.054 × 10^-34 Joule-seconds are fundamental constants that play a significant role in quantum mechanics and can impact the behavior of quantum fields in the vacuum.
Speed of Light: The speed of light (c) ≈ 299,792,458 m/s is a fundamental constant in physics that represents the maximum speed at which information or matter can travel in the vacuum. In a perfect vacuum, the speed of light remains a constant and is not affected by the absence of matter.
Stefan-Boltzmann Constant: The Stefan-Boltzmann constant (σ) ≈ 5.670374419 × 10^-8 W/(m^2·K^4) relates to blackbody radiation and is relevant for calculating the energy radiated from an object at a given temperature. In a perfect vacuum with a non-zero temperature, this constant would apply when considering radiation.
The Force That Caused The Big Bang
Being that the universe prior to the Big Bang was an isotropic purely momentive volume infinite in all directions, necessarily the force that caused the Big Bang was an isotropic purely momentive force.
The nature of the force is logically deducible.
The force that caused the big bang must have been random and non-causal, and instantaneous, and transcendental to Planck Time.
The Cause of The Force
There is only one type of event that is random and non-casual, and instantaneous, and transcendental to planck time that could cause the force that caused the big bang.
What causes an event of this nature?
The Big Bang
The Big Bang was not an explosion. It was an isotropic change of state event.
The force caused the universe to change state from the state of perfect vacuum volume infinite in all directions, to its infinite density state infinite in all directions.
This change of state took place in one Planck time (5.39116 x 10^-44 seconds).
The force caused the universe to change state from the state of perfect vacuum volume infinite in all directions, to its infinite density state infinite in all directions.
This change of state took place in one Planck time (5.39116 x 10^-44 seconds).
Prior to big bang, pure vacuum energy
T=0, the moment of the force that caused the big bang. vacuum energy isotropically infinite in all directions instantaneously becomes zero.
T=one Planck time, end of big bang, beginning of Hawking radiation, beginning of vacuum energy again, beginning of expansion, beginning of the fundamental force of gravity.
T=10-43 seconds, gravity becomes distinct, expansion continues
T=10-36 s, gluons, strong nuclear force begins to separate.
T=10-35 s, strong nuclear force becomes distinct, cosmic inflation begins.
T=10-32 s, the inflaton field collapses, cosmic inflation ends, expansion as we know it today begins again.
Then we for the electroweak epoch, then the electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force separate.
Then the particle era
