Dave,

My intuition tells me that, from a randomized state of expansion (our current condition), a transformation to one degree uniform linear motion with absolute velocity, perhaps by means of a black hole as stated above, would produce a three dimensional plank diameter leading edge in the universal direction of travel, a singularity of sorts. Thus, it causes me to imagine the initial state of the fundamental substance, before the collision, to have been tubular with a three dimensional plank diameter and length proportional to the total amount of fundamental substance. If viewed from the side as if looking perpendicular to the arrow of time, future motions being in front, present being the current void occupied and past being the void just traveled through, the shape of the fundamental substance would resemble a symmetrical three dimensional solid rod with much more length than width; but if you were looking head on, the view would only resemble a three dimensional plank diameter dot; perhaps a singularity.

After the event which slowed the leading edge down, causing random chaotic motions throughout, the length has been steadily shortening as the diameter has been steadily increasing which would be the universal expansion; causing apparent "space" to be expanding from all points at the same time; and if viewed head on this would possibly resemble the big bang model from a singularity, but all of the fundamental substance was always there, it was just linearly shaped with a plank diameter, and all of the potential for expansion was merely hidden traveling behind the leading edge. We have no means of detecting the contributing volumes of aether causing the expansion, because it is in a state of absolute zero (one degree of freedom) linear velocity as it steadily collides into the now slowed and expanding leading edge. This would be equivalent to trying to detect the absolute linearly moving aether going back out of the black holes. Now, after the initial event, the aether is forming a puddle as if it were a continuous stream of water having been poured from a pitcher and hitting the ground to form a pool.

How would this reflect your interpretation of the math? Feel free to jump in and stop me before I hurt myself.

Regards,

Tim
