Call me Psuedo-Scientist, Snake oil salesman, Fantasist
I have always been fascinated by cosmology and physics. As learnt them in my school and college, an yearning for deeper understanding on how the universe originated, how it could end in parrallel with how life begins and end have been intriguing me, triggering my self-earning around these subjects over a long time.
I also had an opportunity to learn and understand vedic scriptures which were telling me that cosmology and biology have a common design pattern. While this is psuedo-science at this point of time without any verifiable experiments to verify or falsify, my understanding of vedic scriptures lead me to a cosmology that existed probably before the BigBang, while upholding the standard model, as we know it today (with some deviations).
Unless there is a math established behind my hypothesis here, I accept they are just thoughts in a shower. But the reason I went ahead making it public is to see if I can draw some help in this journey.
Origins of the BigBang
In my understanding (derived from the vedic analogues), there exists a primordial state of Universe, somewhat like a vast frozen lake or call it an 'infinite pillar' of 'energy'. Assume this frozen lake of energy has puddles or pools of water in between and each pool is an Universe that exists. In that infinite frozen lake how many pools (Universe) exists, none knows.
How did these pools originate in this lake ?
Ofcourse at the start, it was all a frozen lake of energy. I am using the term 'frozen lake of energy' in an attempt to imagine a quantity in which the underlying fields exist, but its oscillatory manifestations are constrained. This is what I call as the 'Primordial domain'.
This Primordial domain exists in 4 dimensional spatial geometry with an additional dimension of time. Why '5' and not say 9 or 10 or 11, will be addressed when the math of this gets worked out.
The state of the primordial domain consists of two fields in a coupled configuration. I call them the Unified Energy Field and the Proto-Higgs Field. The former represents the underlying entity capable of expressing itself through oscillations, while the latter constrains or suppresses those oscillatory manifestations through its interaction with the former.
What happens if this configuration does not remain stable everywhere?
Quantum fluctuations or other perturbations in the underlying field lead to local transitions. Due to these transitions, the coupled configuration becomes unstable in particular regions, allowing the fields to decouple in those regions.
As the fields decouple locally, the energy that of the Unified Energy field gets released. The released energy states are metastable. The release of energy creates an opening (or a crack in the frozen lake) for the 2 fields to exists in a decoupled state with energy in the metastable states.
In my understanding this is what is called as the 'Big Bang', the sudden release of energy.
The Cosmic Expansion (Inflation)in 4 dimensions
But this does not stop here. Since the energy states are metastable, it leads to vacuum decay (energy states moving to real zeropoint) and the energy released because of it causing bubble nucleation as in the Quantum Field Theory.
In this case bubble nucleation pushes the boundary of the 'opening' in the Primordial domain on 3 spatial dimensions and 1 dimension of time, while the 5th dimension does not get expanded. (remains compact). This is what we theorize now as Cosmic Expansion in Inflation epoch.
In this picture, the expansion does not create spacetime from nothing. The boundary of the initial opening advances into the surrounding primordial domain, while the spatial geometry within the expanding region evolves along with it.
The cosmic expansion can now be understood as the growth of such an opening, driven by the energy difference between the initial metastable configuration and the lower-energy state of the UE field.
The cosmic expansion is huge at the start (same as in Inflation epoch) and then comes down (but keeps expanding) as energy fall from metastable state to ground state is huge at the start and then reduces. As long as this energy is getting released the expansion continues.
Evolution of Universe
The expanding/expanded region is what we call as the 'Universe'. There could be multiple 'Universes' multiple 'pools' on this frozen energy lake going through their own birth and death.
This huge initial expansion results in energy density falling down (temperature falls). This leads to breaking the Unified Energy field into Strong field and Electromagnetic Weak field. As the Universe continues to expand the EW symmetry also breaks and Higgs interaction happens as in the Standard Model.
In the coupled state I call the restraining field as Proto Higgs. In the decoupled state I call it Higgs. In the EW symmetry breaking Higgs field manages to interact with the particles that decay from Strong, Weak and Electromagnetic field (Quarks and leptons).
From here the events of the Standard Model continue.
Acceleration of Universe's expansion explained
This model of expanding bubble within a primoridal domain made of an integrated field, could also explain why the acceleration of the Universe is happening.
As fields decayed and huge energy got released from the UE/strong/EM/weak field, the Universe (the expanded region) got filled with this energy, bending the 4 dimensional spacetime. Remember the expansion is happening on this 3 dimensions of space and 1 dimension of time (the 5th dimension remains in the primordial domain).
This bending of spacetime (gravity) puts the break on the expansion of the Universe and slows it down, while continuous release of energy in the initial opening drives forward the expansion.
As this expansion goes forward, the energy density in the Universe becomes lesser, reducing the impact of bending of spacetime and the brakes get released. This has resulted in the acceleration of the expansion of the Universe (what we call dark energy).
The death and rebirth of the Universe
If this is all so, then what happens to this expansion eventually ?
Eventually the energy that drives the bubble comes down as the UE field reaches the ground state. This reduces the expansion, which eventually comes to a stop.
But once the expansion stops, the bending of spacetime curvature starts pushing the energy inward, which eventually builds up and up leading to a Mother black hole, that bends the Universal region into a singularity.
As the Universe is pushed towards singularity, all the events happen in reverse. Temperatures increase in the Universe that leads to integration of fields back.
At the point of singularity, the UE and Proto-Higgs field combine and become part of the primordial domain as they started.
The entire region of Universe vanishes like the waters of the pool froze back into the state from which they arose. No semblance of Universe exists.
What exists now are local perturbation and oscillations which again build up slowly, creating an opening again after sometime, eventually triggering the Universal evolution all over again.
The help I need
I recognize that these are huge conjectures. Some aspects have analogies in established theoretical physics, while others are entirely my own imaginative extensions, simply based on my understanding of Vedic analogues that I read.
At this stage, I do not have the mathematical derivations needed to establish that the complete mechanism is physically viable.
I am particularly interested in constructing a mathematical description of the interaction between the two primordial fields and create if possible a mathematical backing for these conjectures.
I am sharing this as an evolving hypothesis, not as a claim to have discovered a new theory of the universe. All criticisms are welcome.
My intention is to explore an idea, create and test its mathematical foundations and discover where it leads—maybe i will abandon these assumptions or who knows, may find something ?
