The Universe: An Infinite Entity or a Reset After a Big Bang?

The universe has always existed, without a 'beginning.' From a photon theory perspective, this vast expanse can be described as a journey through different states of these particles: photons, from their ground state to solid matter. Everything in the universe, including space, can be understood in relation to this underlying energy. However, when we talk about the "universe," we often use it to refer to both the space and the contents within it. This article explores the nature of the universe, its origins, and the scientific theories that attempt to explain its existence.

The Myth of Infinite Space

Sometimes, we use words like 'infinite' as a way to denote boundlessness; however, the universe is more accurately described as infinite space that exists forever. For example, 'Miss Universe' is a title, 'Doug's Universal Carpet Cleaner' is a product, and 'SPAM has infinite uses in the kitchen' is a marketing statement. Similarly, we use 'universe' to describe a shorthand for all the space and content out there. The size of this space is vast and beyond our comprehension. The universe, as we understand it, is a manifestation of a complex reality derived from physical interactions and observation by intelligent beings.

Big Bang and the Origin of Everything

The Big Bang theory posits that the universe as we know it began with a single event approximately 14 billion years ago. This event marked the origin of spacetime, the laws of physics, and the potential for everything else. The Big Bang was not infinitely old and could have been a finite event. According to Stephen Hawking’s singularity theory, the Big Bang occurred from a point that did not exist in time or space, carrying neither energy nor matter. The universe rapidly expanded, reverting to a cosmic state dominated by energy and fields.

The Universality of Photon Theory

From a photon theory perspective, the universe can be seen as traveling through different states: from photons at their ground state to plasma, which is the 'liquid state' of photons, and finally to matter, which is the 'solid state' of photons. This journey through states implies that the universe is not just space but the content within it as well. The universe is not 'infinite' as a thing but can be described as an infinite space that has always existed.

Theories and Speculations

While the Big Bang is the generally accepted theory, there are other speculative ideas. One such idea involves the concept of a "huge" black hole or white hole as its origin. About 14 billion years ago, gravity caused the existing matter in the universe to collapse into a singularity, driving matter across the universe in a massive explosion. This reset brought matter back together to form our current universe. This theory aligns with the idea that gravity may eventually cause everything to collapse again, leading to another Big Bang.

Relativistic Quantum and the Bible

The concept of the Big Bang was proposed by Georges Lema?tre in the 1930s and named by Fred Hoyle in 1949. The universe, as an infinite space, has always existed, and this matter has also been present. The Big Bang reset the universe, transforming the existing matter, collapsing it into a black hole, and then driving it into a vast cosmic space. This theory does not conflict with the cosmic principles of relativity, quantum mechanics, and the Bible. According to Genesis 1:3, 'God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light.' This aligns with the idea that the Big Bang produced a universe with light, order, and complexity.

Conclusion and Implications

While the universe has always existed, the Big Bang marked a significant reset in the matter and energy within it. Our understanding of the universe is still evolving, and theories like photon theory and black hole theories offer new perspectives on its nature and origins. The debate between the universe’s infinite nature and its finite resets continues; however, both perspectives can be harmonized with scientific evidence and religious texts.
