Part 0203 - Moment Zero Dimensions

ARGUMENT 0203-01

PRECEDENTS
  • CURRENT PARADIGM:     Cosmic inflation, cosmological inflation, or just inflation is a theory of exponential expansion of space in the early universe. The inflationary epoch lasted from 10−36 seconds after the conjectured Big Bang singularity to sometime between 10−33 and 10−32 seconds after the singularity. Following the inflationary period, the Universe continues to expand, but at a less rapid rate. (Wikipedia - 02 Apr 2016)
PARAMETERS
  • Consider that the Current Paradigm does not recognise the existence of rejectivity.
  • Consider that the existence of rejectivity is a central facet of the Malta Template.
  • Consider that the existence of rejectivity prohibits the existence of gravitational singularities
  • Consider that a "ball park" estimate of the diameter of the Universe at Moment Zero can be made using a profiling exercise.
  • Consider that the following profiling exercise is crude and will benefit from refinement.
  • Consider, for the purposes of the following profiling exercise: 
    • that all objects in the Universe have the same structure:  that is, a matter core surrounded by an area within which the gravity of the matter core dominates. 
    • that all objects in the Universe have a matter core which is subject to the rejectivity law which is that "one object cannot occupy a place in space and time that is already occupied by another object of the same type". 
    • that all objects in the Universe are subject to the one percent rule whereby ninety nine percent of the matter in an object occupies one percent of the object's volume. 
    • that the dimensions of the Milky Way galaxy are regarded as typical of all galaxies (the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy and thus a median, there being more lower mass galaxies in the Universe and fewer higher mass galaxies).
REASONING
  • The Milky Way galaxy (including its halo) is a sphere approximately 200,000 lightyears in diameter.
  • A diameter of 200,000 lightyears equates to a volume of 4,188,790,204,786,390 cubic lightyears.
  • If the stars of the Milky Way are one percent of the volume of the galaxy sphere they equate to a sphere with a volume of 41,887,902,047,864 cubic lightyears and a diameter of 43,089 lightyears.
  • If the atoms of the Milky Way are one percent of the volume of the star sphere they equate to a sphere with a volume of 418,879,020,479 cubic lightyears and a diameter of 9,284 lightyears.
  • If the nucleons of the Milky way are one percent of the volume of the atom sphere they equate to a sphere with a volume of 4,188,790,205 cubic lightyears and a diameter of 2,000 lightyears. 
  • If the quarks of the Milky Way are one percent of the volume of the nucleon sphere they equate to a sphere with a volume of 41,887,902 cubic lightyears and a diameter of 431 lightyears.
  • If the gravitons of the Milky Way are one percent of the volume of the quark sphere they equate to a sphere with a volume of 418,879 cubic lightyears and a diameter of 93 lightyears.
  • One current estimate is that the visible Universe contains 125 billion galaxies.
  • If the visible Universe contains 125 billion galaxies, with an average volume of 418,879 cubic lightyears and a diameter of 93 lightyears, that equates to a sphere with a volume of 52,359,877 billion cubic lightyears and a diameter of 464,159 lightyears.
CONCLUSION
  • That the diameter of the visible Universe at Moment Zero, as deduced through a profiling exercise, is 464,159 lightyears.


COMMENTARY

Notwithstanding the firmness of the above conclusion, this argument is not that the (visible) Universe really was 464,159 lightyears in diameter at Moment Zero. The number is crude and unlikely to stand for long anyway. More to the point, the argument is a simplification of what was certainly a vastly more complex occurrence. Later chapters (specifically Selfproof 0311) hint at the nature of that complexity. Instinct suggests that the Universe at Moment Zero was a turbulent and sophisticated object. 

The greatest significance of this argument is that, using only well established laws of physics, the Universe at Moment Zero is shown to have been of a size that was, by any standards, very big. (the law of rejectivity is included among the well established laws of physics, notwithstanding it is not part of the Current Paradigm, because there are no sensible exceptions to it).

In the Current Paradigm, cosmologists avoid attributing dimensions to the Universe at Moment Zero. The consensus is that a fraction of a second after Moment Zero, the diameter of the Universe was one Planck Length, the suggestion being that measuring anything less than a Planck Length is impossible given the current state of our knowledgebase. One Planck Length is, of course, an extremely small dimension that causes many problems for the Big Bang Standard Model - the biggest being "how did the Universe, in the time available, get to be as big as it is today if it started out so small". This problem is popularly considered to be resolved by Inflation Theory. 

However, the large size of the (visible) Universe at Moment Zero, as deduced with the above exercise, means that the Universe would have had no problem reaching its present size in the time available and that, thus, there is no need for Inflation Theory.
