I speculate that before the big bang had only a highly dense point with no changes.
A few musings.
IMO, this dense point (singularity) emerged from a zero state condition *immediately* before the BB and the BB was a mega-quantum event, The only instant that everything happened *at the same time* and *at the same place* and everything was of the same value due to the enormous heat created during this event.
My intuition is that in the absence of space, this mega event was able to expand at FTL, until the chaotic condition cooled enough for mathematics to become effective and the universal constants (individual values and equations) emerged, at which time the universe began to order itself mathematically and deterministically.
The question that haunts me is how a zero state of indeterminate size and properties collapsed to the point where the zero state was compressed to such an extend that the release of pure energy became inevitable.
Is there an equation of the pre-universe zero state? I suspect that it has to do with positive and negative properties existing as meta-physical potentials in a vacuum.
A natural balance of Meta physical particles and anti-particles?
The problem is that we cannot see the BB itself, but only after observable particles were formed. Do we have any clues relating to the BB itself and the *inflationary epoch*?
I never could accept the notion of a pure zero state non-energetic condition, except as a balance between positive and negative aspects equaling all the energy released during the BB.
If we assume equal amounts of an additive function of positive properties and a subtractive function of negative properties we may arrive at a true zero state, but the weights could be of any size or mass as long as they balanced out to zero.
Something similar to a scale with equal weights on both sides would show the needle stationary at '
0'. Altering the weight of one side, would immediately create an causal unbalance.
But where would those properties come from? Obviously, before the BB there was NOT nothing (especially if we consider the enormous energy released by the BB itself).
To keep it clear, I am not advocating for a Creator, but objectively we are stuck with a question of the creation of the universe from a pre-existing Zero State Nothing condition, or creation of the universe from a pre-existing Zero State Balance condition.
Was it a random fluctuation or was it inevitable that the pre-universe condition had to form a singularity so dense and so fast that it had to release all its energy in one single mega-quantum event?
