The universe was created by God or physics or both.
It is widely believed that all major theories of the origin of the universe fail due to the fact that none supply an origin for the laws, matter, energy, space, gravity, or time. Without a verifiable origin, there is no process by which they may be confirmed to be definable as law, matter, energy, gravity, space, or time.
At the same time, there is a viable theory that indicates that it is possible that the origin of the universe could, in fact, be conjectured to be founded in a balanced zero pre‑universe state. In the conjecture, the pre‑universe could be comprised of a photon of positive energy bound to gravity of negative energy with a net value of zero.
The concept of a zero‑value universe is not new; it is compatible with both General Relativity and Special Relativity.
The zero‑value pre‑universe implies that it is possible for there to have been a location where there is a timeless state outside the current universe that could, in fact, be the origin of the universe and time.
This pre‑universe would not require time, energy, space, laws, or mass to exist. The pre‑universe would not require time and therefore could be the origin of time. It also would not have a net value of energy or gravity, in that the positive and negative values cancel completely. This would mean that this pre‑universe state did not have any value. In effect, it could be determined to not exist in the sense that there was nothing to detect or to be impacted by it.
The pre‑universe would be imbalanced and would therefore be unstable. The unbalanced pre‑universe, due to the imbalance, would emit from the pre‑universe and emit energy into the universe with a redshift of the photons and leave a trail of gravity in its path. This would supply all the energy of the universe and would lay the framework for the emission of time and mathematics, as well as all that is within our current universe.
This, of course, means that this pre‑universe that is timeless, massless, energy less, and filled with the ability to build a universe could be the “God” of the universe, or it could simply be nature’s emission of the universe. It seems to be a candidate for the God of several different religions. Or not.
As a believer in God, this theory helps form the foundation of my belief in God. Your comments are welcome.
