It is interesting (to me anyway) that I just mentioned quantum foam on another thread. The possibility of quantum foam, including wormholes if you want to take it that far would seem to support some of the mechanics necessary to pull off your image of the sponge.
Thank you Bogie,
Sponge really is the most amazing stuff. I struggle with words and trying to explain simple ideas. The sponge has a structure and is the first form and that makes it the simplest.

Take the big bang or any other start condition and it works. There is a fireball, a massive fireball and it will have local hot and cold spots. A ball of energy is fluid and the first thing that happens in a turbulent fluid is that it forms whirlpools. This is before any matter is formed so all the talk of matter anti-matter annihilation is utter bunk. The whole lot is energy, pure energy and if there was matter anti-matter annihilation then that just forms energy.

So the first Occam step is a ball of energy.
The second Occam step is whirlpools.
The third Occam step is convection.
The forth Occam step is connection local cold areas to hot zones.

It really is that simple. My brother teaches teenagers. Maybe he can tell me a thing or two about how to explain the very simple to the very brilliant.

Trouble is I know what his answer will be:-

First use small words.
Second don't bother. It wastes your time and frustrates the teenager.
Same principle. Teenagers at least have to earn their certificates. Scientists already have certificates telling them they are brilliant and do not need to learn.

I really appreciate your support, it has been a slow and unrewarding process but there is the satisfaction of having tried. Best of luck with your efforts and who knows we might find someone who understands after all, cheers
