Harmony,

I think all all things that are now considered fact were once ideas, and if you have ideas on energy density that's what we're all here for isn't it, to express our ideas? I think also that you and Setterfield are correct in saying that a uniform energy would impede light speed, but where would that energy come from - we could go deeper and deeper to reach the root or absolute level to express our thoughts on where this energy can arise from.

To fit it into my own thoughts on the "matter," and the problem I see with placing a literal Universe inside of an exterior space that isn't there, I can't use any literal substance or proclaim an eternal exchange of energy and material forms because it doesn't logically work at all. So I tend to look at whether or not an absolute vacuum could have the potential to differentiate itself from itself, and I think it can. There would be two different perspectives to the state: one would be more expansive than any infinite Universe we could imagine; and the other would be more contractive than any point we could imagine. Both would be "eternal" if you will or simultaneous because they are essentially the same state, but there could be an infinite number of non-dimensional points that could each be considered the center of the Universe as well as each expanding to infinity.

These points would be the basis for virtual interactions that would form spherical positive and negative particles which require both centripetal and centrifugal forces to exist for the extremely short time that they do - simultaneously existing and not - but we are not conscious of this because we create time in the mind which creates a sense of reality. A time for the effect to reach from one point to the point the information is processed in the brain, sort of like the redshift effect.

Perhaps uncomfortably, anything and everything has already happened long ago because there is really no time to begin with - it's all like a dream made real where individuals aren't aware of it because they're in it; and being a potential state based on probable outcomes, any dream can be made real in relative to "time."
