Beforehand... I can not say every in and out I thought about because that's too much and this will do for now I guess. I had the same questions as a lot of us have, I guess, somewhere in our lifetime… where does the universe come from? …where does it end?...does it end?...etc. I read some things about the universe (speed of light, relativity, Dopplereffect etc.) as maybe less of us do. One day (I believe in 1986 or something like that) I looked at a picture of the moon and it hit me. It was the other way around. It wasn’t space that was empty…it was the moon that was empty and space pressing on it. It felt good right from the start. There you have gravity. Away with the never found gravitons. Ok. Very nice…but what next….? I thought and found a solution which is maybe a little hard to put in English but here goes… I thought about the fact that nothing we know has an end. Where space stops the moon begins and visa versa. There’s nothing in between. Ok, the ingredients of the universe we observe are space and the stuff for example the moon is made of. They got one property in common : they occupy room (I hope this is the right word, but to use the word space again might be confusing). I got an insight which explained, at least to me, how it all would end up like this. Before the BB there was space. Elastic space. Not made of particles but one and elastic. I don’t know how to put this in English but I’ll try…Space is elastic and in motion ,so the density differs from place to place. It stretches and contracts (is this the right word? Opposite of stretching). When you wait long enough, chances are, somewhere in the universe you will get a point from which in all directions the space would get away from…stretching…until it rips. At that point space will rip (“point” in these sentences isn’t a real point ofcourse). There will be a gap in space. Where did that gap come from? From nothing. It wasn’t there and now it’s there. It’s “created”. What properties does that gap have? It occupies room…nothing more, nothing less. So there you have it. Something that wasn’t there before and is there now. It’s occupying space and furthermore it has no properties. I did call it “vacuumspace” and I will keep calling it that because it’s a good word for it I guess (if not handy then Omnispace will be a nice one. ehum). So from this point in time you’ve got vacuumspace that “isn’t supposed to be there”. Space will press on it to get it away , but ofcourse it will not go away since you can’t get vacuumspace back to what it was…nothing. It’s a onewaystreet. Space keeps pressing and pressing until the pressure gets to the point where vacuumspace will “explode” => BB. “And then there was light” I thought back then. Think of a large bubble of air in water. The water is pressing on the air until the bubble of air will “collapse” and many tiny bubbles will go in every direction (there’s no up in the universe ofcourse, every direction is up so to speak). A difference between water/air and space/vacuumspace however is the “fact” that water and air are made of particles and space as well as vacuumspace are one => let’s say for now that it where fotons that were “produced” during the BB then every foton will shoot away from the BB but will be connected to where it came from=> vacuumspace will not rip. Why? Because if it did then space which was ripped must be rejoined after being ripped. Does it? I don’t know ofcourse but will stand by : space ripped=>vacuumspace (not rippable, at least not by space) was created. When let’s say a foton goes through space then it will be pushed upon by space from every direction. It will have it’s initial speed gotten by the BB and from there force from every direction will be the same so it’s speed will be constant…..will it? No. As I said before space is elastic and is in motion and therefore density differs so it will be possible that the speeds of light will differ from time to time (depending on where in space it is). You can also imagine that the speed of light (not C but the true speed of the foton) will decrease when traveling trough space but this will be the case for all fotons then (denser space=> maybe bigger speeddecrease etc.). Is a foton a particle or a wave? Vacuumspace is a particle with at it’s boundaries there are what we call fotons which have “tails”. It’s all connected. => Fotons will get smaller because the tail (“wave”) will take an amount of volume away from the foton (“the particle”) . However as it’s the case with every foton we don’t notice it by looking at fotons or things made up from foton’s (matter). We will however notice it by the distance between let’s say two galaxies. Let’s say there are two stationary galaxies (stationary in relation to the other (distance between centers is constant),not in relation to space), then with shrinking fotons the galaxies would shrink and therefore the amount of space between them will grow. It’s not hard to imagine how let’s say 2 foton’s wil interact. Picture 2 fotons. The pressure on each pointing at the other will be greater then the pressure to other directions (only picture the 2 fotons and space) and they wil eventually cirkel around eachother=>=>=>etc what we call matter is “born”. When light goes from A to B then it’s speed (C) is constant, but it isn’t a straight line which it follows so the speed isn’t constant…far from it. When it’s high frequency it will go a much longer way then when it’s low frequency (this all considering it’s really a wave-path it follows, but I take that for granted for now). When light goes a long way then it’s thinkable that it’s speeds will decrease….C will be constant but the wave will be longer…redshift….. Hey… but when it’s high frequency then….this foton will shrink faster then when it’s low frequency… or will it not because the thickness of the low frequency tail (slower foton) is greater….? Questions, questions, dear Watson….Well, I think I’ll stop for now. These were some thoughts. Not all of them ofcourse, but to write all I’ve thought on this matter for let’s say 19 years would be a “little bit” too much. I will of course comment/answer on your comments/questions. Omni.
