This is not the beginning. There was no beginning for that matter. Oh, there are times and places that seem like beginnings of sorts, I mean cataclysmic events of great magnitude. But then what is great magnitude if it is short of being universal?

Anything finite is almost nothing, almost nowhere, almost never … relative to the infinite.

So if you talk to me about something less than infinite you are not talking about the highest order of things, for the infinite represents the highest order of things. And I am being honest when I say that when we are talking about the infinite I feel good.

Talk to me about space and I am happy for I know that space is infinite.

Talk to me about the infinitesimal and I am happy because I know that the most infinitesimal would have to be that of which all else is composed.

I feel good too about the thought that for everything to be composed of the infinitesimal, the infinitesimal would then be infinitely disbursed throughout all space.

And talk to me about perpetual energy that replenishes all that is consumed; a grand process that plays out everywhere forever and that encompasses all things in all places in an ever changing cascade of perpetual renewal. It is good to hear about that.

And talk to me about time and I am happy too, because I know there always is, always was, and always will be time. We are always at mid time, right in the middle of all that has been and all that will be; the middle of infinity.

I am happy with the highest order, the greater universe that is this infinite space filled infinitely with the quintessential infinitesimal elemental energy that perpetuates continual renewal of energy and matter in a process that is present in all places at all times.

I am happy if all of this is true and for this to be true there has to be a quintessential infinitesimal elemental energy particle. Let’s call it the elementary energy particle or EEP for short, OK?

The EEP is at the heart of my personal cosmology, The Infinite Spongy Universe cosmology.

The EEP forms the perfect background of the universe by occupying all space.

Space is infinite and the greater universe encompasses all space.

All space contains EEPs.

The universe is composed of only EEPs.

EEPs are indestructible and have always existed.

The number of EEPs in any volume of space makes up the energy density of that space.

The energy density of a volume of space can fluctuate.

Matter is composed of EEPs and forms from the energy density of space at the right time and at the right place.

The universe on the highest order and the grandest scale is the greater universe in my cosmology. And it consists of a potentially infinite number of temporary arenas, huge energy density fluctuations that form and disburse. Each arena consists of matter that collapses from the greater universe into a big crunch which “negates” matter, then bursts into a ball of near infinite energy density which expands and reforms matter that flows back into the greater universe.

I view our own expanding universe to be an arena in the process of playing out right now in our own little niche somewhere among an infinite number of such niches within the greater universe.

And I think that the entire universe consists of infinitesimal particles with perpetual energy derived from their own contraction and expansion, a pulse that provides the power behind all energy in the universe and that makes up the energy density of space.

So “spongy” seems a fitting adjective for the greater universe from the infinitesimal to the infinite. Welcome to the Infinite Spongy Universe!
