Thanks Neverfly … Ooooooooooommmmmmm, oooooooooooommmmmmmmmmm. There, I feel much better and I’m sitting up now which is an improvement to being sprawled out on the floor.

You tried to get me to talk ‘energy field’ on one of the Q&A threads and I said it was more ATM. I couldn’t do it without saying what there is about the observable universe that makes me think there has to be energy density of space that consists of the same ‘energy’ that makes up matter. The energy quanta enable the equivalence between the energy composition of matter and any energy that can be extracted from matter, a common denominator. Many believe that added physics are required to explain the universe; mine enables the expansion. There is no simpler way that I have come across to explain how the expansion began. And that is a challenge to anyone who can do better and I’m sure many are in the community who could. Do it in simple steps for me.

The concept of the energy field as I call it, (energy density and energy density equalization), offer a simple connection between matter formation, gravity, expansion, and the crunch/burst that I described in this thread.

Thanks for suggesting the deep breaths. What is more likely to put me on the floor is the balloon analogy and spacetime. I know I come off as an uninformed outsider by saying that spacetime, and therefore GR don’t satisfy my needs. When I say that I know there is a chorus that says that the universe is not interested in my needs.

I hear you but sometimes you have to venture out into the lonely corners of the community to get a glimpse beyond the boundary (what science says we don’t or can’t know). For me the place to start is a cause of the expansion and so I did it myself. I admit I’m at the fence, the question is am I looking out or looking in ?

So there you have it. The cause of the initial expansion, some new physics about an energy field, rejection of spacetime, rejection of the cyclical model, the defeat of entropy … my needs are getting filled.

Of course there is the matter of updating how matter forms from the expanding high energy density environment. And how gravity works. But then I still have three weeks and this an ATM thread … maybe I will add new content to those ideas and climb those fences again (for my own satisfaction and for the CD-R ).
