Chapter 1: The Universe's Fragmentation

The universe has undeniably fractured, as confirmed by scientific inquiry.

This notion can be likened to a broken vase, with its fragments scattered on the ground—each piece a testament to the existence of a once-intact whole. Similarly, the dispersing matter in our cosmos indicates that a previous, unified reality has disintegrated. This discussion centers on the difficulties physicists face in comprehending the rupture of the universe's prior state, a challenge that hinders their acceptance of a fundamental scientific truth.

Many scientists, while experts in their respective areas, often struggle to see beyond their specific studies. They uncover remarkable details about their focused subjects but falter when asked to consider the broader context. Often, they claim, “We lack evidence for the larger picture.” Their keen attention to intricate details can obscure their ability to grasp the overarching concept.

Imagine a police officer arriving at a multi-car accident scene where no witnesses survived. The officer, faced with the absence of firsthand accounts, might conclude that the event remains unknowable. This perspective seems illogical when physicists assert that we cannot ascertain the conditions that preceded the materialization process due to a lack of data. The evidence of our current reality is glaringly apparent, affirming that we are observing a consequence rather than the initial state.

A handful of physicists do explore the moments leading up to the materialization process, yet they often neglect to acknowledge that this previous reality experienced a fracture.

Matter has not existed eternally; current estimations place its emergence at roughly 13.8 billion years ago, marking a time before which there was no matter at all. Thus, the prior state held the potential to generate something entirely novel. We now recognize two states: the resultant existence in which we dwell and the preceding reality that gave rise to it.

A pivotal rupture must have occurred within whatever existed before, leading to the creation of something that had never before been realized.

Section 1.1: The Pathways of Creation

There are three theoretical pathways to explain how new results arise.

1. Matter emerged from nothing: This explanation is unsatisfactory, as it relies on an illogical framework. Our minds can easily conjure up absurdities, like Santa Claus visiting in July, indicating a lack of substantive logic. One cannot merely start from an absence and expect to yield something tangible.
2. Matter was formed from all that existed previously: While this idea is more plausible, it still contains a fundamental flaw. For a genuinely new reality to materialize, a significant transformation must have taken place. If everything had changed, that new state could only have persisted for a fleeting moment before reverting to its original form. Without a foundational break in the prior state, sustaining this change becomes impossible.
3. A portion of the prior state became matter while the rest remained unchanged: This theory suggests a duality in existence, which has been explored and observed. We can identify it almost everywhere we investigate, particularly within the fundamental components of matter.

Matter consists of two distinct elements: quarks and electrons. Quarks do not exist independently; they combine with neutrons and protons to form the fundamental building blocks of matter. Each quark is only definable in concert with others, illustrating the intricate balance required for their existence.

• The neutron is at the core of the atom, a neutral piece formed from three quarks.
• The proton, also at the atom's center, is a stable entity comprised of three quarks but carries a positive charge. Together, these particles create atomic nuclei.

The electron, in contrast, behaves differently. It is not situated within atomic nuclei and possesses a negative charge, opposite to that of the proton.

This observation provides compelling evidence of the universe's rupture, as it produced two distinct yet interrelated components of matter—each seemingly foreign to the other. Moreover, matter itself represents a part of everything that existed previously, indicating that a vast, unmaterialized reality is also an aspect of our universe. The fracture occurred at the conclusion of the previous state, not within the resulting material cosmos.

Section 1.2: The Nature of Existence

A fundamental break is the only way to create something completely new. The Universe's original vase shattered.

This concept isn’t difficult to grasp, but the non-material beginnings can mislead us. If we view this previous state as mere emptiness, it becomes challenging to conceive any resultant reality. The prior state must be understood as real and filled with genuine potential, capable of producing outcomes. The absence of knowledge should not be construed as a void.

Our minds can create false markers, mistakenly perceiving a true emptiness where scientific data is lacking. The initial scientific premise itself can exist without specific data, yet it should not be dismissed as invalid.

In the Big Whisper theory, the prior state concluded due to the opposite collective action that we observe with matter. Instead of the outward motion we experience, a collective inward movement likely occurred first. Given that matter is the outcome, we can surmise that this inward motion persisted until disruption among the parts took place.

This inward motion generated significant tension, so much so that some original energy transformed into a quark soup. This transformation is crucial for understanding how matter originated. When this energy reached a critical point, the tension warped parts of it, leading to irreversible changes. Only then did the inward motion cease.

As the tension relaxed, the quark soup realigned into neutrons and protons, coinciding with the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation discovered by Wilson and Penzias. The term "Big Whisper theory" pays homage to their findings regarding this faint crackle.

Chapter 2: Understanding the Big Picture

Big Bang theorists grasp the overarching concept but often focus too narrowly on the details of matter’s origin. They rewind the outward motion until they reach a center of interest, neglecting that the original source wouldn’t allow them to rewind all the way.

The Big Whisper model illustrates that compacting a laundry basket cannot yield something as small as a grain of sand. The original energy had its own constraints; otherwise, the emergence of matter would not have been possible.

If we consider the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation to have a timeline of approximately 380,000 years, there are two potential scenarios for the emergence of matter. Much like the eye of a storm, it contains a central area where not much occurs, while the walls experience the most intense activity.

The simpler explanation involves a collective inward motion from everything that existed prior. Within this, a central area becomes established where all matter is trapped, while a larger region continues to exert pressure. The site where the pressure is just slightly less than required for further compaction is where substantial sideward motion occurs, leading to the transformation of energy into quark soup.

In both instances, the origin of matter does not stem from an extremely hot environment. We seek to uncover the reasons leading to quarks without invoking cosmic inflation or a central starting point.

Conclusion: The Nature of Our Existence

It is a scientific certainty that we inhabit a result rather than the original state of the universe. Matter cannot emerge from an original state unless it was previously something tangible that subsequently broke. This breaking is an established scientific fact; an omelet cannot exist without a real egg.

The egg must first be broken before its contents can be transformed into an omelet.
